90+% of the time the box says:

- "No information available"

they're usually useful when there's something in the box
except when it tells me a change I made to the system could be caused by an infection.
I always remove the stuff I don't use from the Start Menu Through the "Taskbar & Start Menu" Properties dialog and GPEdit.msc.

ie. I compress my XP Start Menu to:
________________
> Programs
> Settings
> Help and Support
> Run
________________
> Log Off ...
> Shut Down

and my 2k Start Menu to: (basically the same)
____________
> Programs
> Settings
> Help
> Run
____________
> Log Off ...
> Shut Down
