BKPB,

Removing dead icons from Start menu All Apps

Thank you both AcuraTML and halasz for taking the time to respond. I ended up booting into a live Win XP and renaming vedatamodel.edb to vedatamodel.edb.temp once I rebooted the dead icons were gone I then did as AcuraTML suggested and granted full permissions to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs (I have it in my right click menu) rebooted again ran sfc rebooted again and all is well and working as it should.
