[kde-linux] Loss of start menu

For some reason, the programs installed on my computer no longer show up under the applications icon in the tool bar.  I guess this would be KDE's equivalent to the Start Menu icon in Windows.  Did I mistakenly check some option that I am not aware of?  I can not figure out out to get the programs to reappear.  Currently, I can run only the programs that I alread had an icon on my desktop for and the ones that I can invoke via command line.  Any suggestions on what I did and how to correct it would be appreciated.

I am not sure what version of KDE I have as I am at work and of course, we use Micro$oft stuff here.
