• Add the "Print Directory Listing" option to the context menu of Windows Explorer

  Get the error message when you try to use the "Print Directory Listing" solution found in:
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379/en-us on my new Windows 7 system (from February 2010).

  Could create the context menu of Windows Explorer for the task, but selecting just results in the following error message:

  "This file doesn't have an associatd with her program to perform this action. Please install a program or... to create an association in the default programs control panel. »

  Wentback and checked my Regedit work.  Even deleted the new key and she recreated (just in case.)

  NOTE: I had successfully used the instructions in this article to add "Print Directory Listing features on Windows XP systems, so I reviewed these instructions to see differences and noticed that it * no. * 'associate' step for Vista/Win7 in the article, but this step still shown for XP.»

  And, there seems to be NO WAY to associate a program (in this case, a ".bat") with all of 'record' as target.  Only choices I see these in the 'control panel default programs ' are'. [extensions] "and the protocols.

  So I'm puzzled.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  I just tried this with instructions to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379/en-us link you provided and it worked fine.

  In view of the error you get here are my assumptions to what may be the problem.  Please try these out and answer:

  -Because it denounces, "file doesn't have an associated program.." I would make sure that when you created with Notepad the file .bat you na not to create a file called 'Printdir.bat.txt' or 'Printdir.bat.some_bad_extension '.  If your Windows Explorer settings are set to hide file extensions when you look at a file name, then maybe the REAL file extension you give the command file is being hidden on your part and Windows does not know how to open a file with the extension hidden type.  Make sure that you can see all the file extensions and make sure that the batch file is named with the .bat extension.

  -If you see very well all the file extensions in Windows Explorer and your file is called really Printdir.bat, make sure that you have saved in your root directory of Windows.  If you access %windir% you see Printdir.bat inside there?  If this isn't the case, put it there.  If you do, when you double-click the .bat file Windows run without error and print the dir?  If it works, you know that the batch file works correctly.

  -There's a typing error in the instructions for Vista/Windows 7, check that your registry entries look like this:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Print directory Listing\command

  This shows the new key under shell called "Print Directory Listing" and inside this key/folder another folder/key named "command".

  To within the key/folder 'command', it takes only one entrance with the name of (by default).  Double-click (default) and make sure that its value data is set to:

  Printdir.bat %1

  -You shouldn't need step "the associate" in Windows 7.

  -You can add "Add Print Directory Listing to the context menu of Windows Explorer" for the title of your question so that others can find it.

• Show the folder path in the title bar of Windows Explorer

  How can I show the folder path in the title bar of Windows Explorer? I tried to switch to Classic view and check the "display full path" option under "Folder Options", but that did not work.
  If there are no built in parameter to do this, anyone know of a good third-party plugin that will accomplish this?

  Heh, after playing with my Google in terms of search, I found the answer to my own question!
  There's a small utility called Aerobar that you can download here. It puts the full folder path in the title bar of Solution Explorer.

• Post-it Note, Snipping Tool, Sound Recorder etc missing from the Start Menu

  Some integrated programs have suddenly disappeared in the folder 'Accessories' in the Start Menu, including sticky notes, Snipping Tool, Sound Recorder, and record Tablet PC Tools was empty too and maybe even more than programs that I do not know. (I don't know why this happened, the only reason why I can think of is maybe I fell a development of my antivirus program).

  I looked online for solutions, I tried:

  -Option unchecking and rechecked the "Tablet PC Tools' of the 'Turn Windows has or not', which bought only the programs in the Tablet PC Tools in the Start Menu folder, but not the Post-it Notes and other

  -Restore to an earlier point, but did not work

  -Enter sfc/scannow in the command prompt but it has said is that Windows has no problems of integrity or something after scanning and solves nothing

  The programs are always there, I found 3 of them in C:/Windows/System32 as exe files and they work from there, but they just will not be displayed in the Start Menu or when I do a search. I don't know what else is missing. Is it possible to bring them back in the start menu? Would be fixed it with a factory reset? - but I don't really want to do a factory reset, unless I am out of options.

  Help would be much appreciated!

  A factory reset would, but that's certainly an exaggeration just to restore shortcuts.

  A colleague MVP of my friends has released a download of all the default shortcuts in Windows 7 and has instructions on how to retrieve it here:

• "Send to desktop" missing from the context menu of Explorer

  I have a new install of Windows 7 pro, but I worked with her for a few weeks for some programs to run. I just realized that I can't create a shortcut for the Office in the normal way, with a right click and "send to"---> desk. "Send to" is present in the first Panel to right click, but the "office" is missing from the Panel following if you selected "send to."

  I created another profile and the 'office' is, as appropriate, when above sequence is started.

  What could be wrong, or more importantly, how can it be corrected?

  I see another post in this group with instructions to create a new profile and copy that to her. I can do that, of course, but when I do there always seems to be something missing, so if there is one solution (other than a restaurant), I would be happy to hear about it.

  Thanks a lot for the suggestions, links, explanations, etc.

• Stop and run option is missing from the Start Menu.

  Original title: Administrator group of experts.

  On the Admin Panel when I want to close I normally press start and the "closing". However the button turn off disappeared and only shows button "quit". In addition the 'run' button is gone as well. How to restore it back to normal?

  It will help with these situations... and, this lesson, I've added a few new commands to my answer of registry file generic copy/paste for these kinds of things:

  If you see things like this:

  You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
  The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
  System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
  The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
  The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
  The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
  The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...

  The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

  You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

  Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

  If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

  The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

  You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

  No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

  If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

  These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

  Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

  enableit.reg

  After you save the file, close Notepad.

  Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

  Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

  Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

  You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

  Reboot your system and test.

  You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

  If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

• "Lightroom" missing from the top menu

  "Lightroom" missing in the top menu. Currently my main menu is as follows: file, edit, library, Photo, metadata, view, window, help. Therefore, I don't know how to reach my "preferences". New user of Lightroom 4.3. Platform PC Windows 7. What brought this to my attention was a review of some of the Adobe tutorials where a few screenshots show the top starting with 'Library' menu and not others. My question is should start the top with 'Lightroom' menu and if not, how can I access the settings menu of "Preference"?

  You encounter some of the aesthetic differences between Mac OS x and Windows applications menu.

  Mac have the option of Lightroom menu along the top. It's the standard nomenclature of Mac OS x.

  Windows offers the options of the menu elsewhere.

• Accessories folder is missing from the Start Menu

  Hello - I just bought a new CPU with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.  When I started to use the system, I know that the traditional Accessories folder which usually includes tools system and other files/folders was in my Start Menu.  After using the test for some time and the installation of many new programs, I noticed that the folder is missing.  Is there a way to get this back in the start without a system restore, because who will cause losing me my programs newly installed what I read on other threads.  Thanks for your comments.

  You are right that the system restore can cause you to have to reinstall your newly added programs.  Here is a possible alternative:

  Restore previous Versions of a file or folder
  1 - click on the Start button, then click on the "All programs" link at the bottom.  Choose "open all users".

  2. in the window that opens, right-click on the folder programs and then choose "restore the previous Versions. The Properties window may take a while to load in all copies of old available in this folder.  Is cool: these versions are in the same place as the restoration of the system of backups, but they allow you to restore individual files rather than your entire system :)

  3 - Click on an older version of the file from a date when you know the Accessories folder was still there, then click on 'Open' and look around.  From there, you can with the right accessories backup button and paste it into your programs folder real (that you opened in step 1).

  I hope this helps.

• The option 'Install new font' missing from the file menu.

  I did a "search forum" and has not found the solution to my problem, so I apologize if it's here somewhere under a different title. I looked on the microsoft site itself, as well as Google search. Here's my problem:

  I am trying to install a new font, but do not have the option in the file menu of police record. It's just not there. I am running Windows 7.

  Thanks for any help you can give!

  Brandi

  Too bad! I googled some more and found my answer.

  For those who overlook the obvious like me, once you download a new font, open it, and there is a button 'install new font' just there. Yay!

• 'downloads' folder missing from the dock.

  I have accidentally deleted my folder "downloads" of my dock. How do I restore it?

  I'm on a retina MacBook Pro 13 inch, mid-2014. OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

  I tried to drag the original on the quay "Downloads" folder, as I do with the applications. It will not drop to the dock.

  I tried to create an alias for the folder and add it to the docking station. Still, it will not drop to the dock.

  I tried to find some settings for the dock that could guide me. The settings are limited, without anything to help me with my problem.

  Any ideas on what I'm missing?

  Thank you.

  From your users, do folder drag the folder downloads at the dock but make sure that you are placing on the right side of the dock, there should be a vertical gray line of feint on the platform where you put files and apps right to the left.

• Option ' send to ' missing from the context menu

  guys,
  I use windows vista and have recently lost the option ' send to ' context menu. Help, please. Thank you.

  Mukul Modani,
  Looks like there is a problem with the registry entry for the menu "send to".

  Important: This document is to modify the Windows registry. Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about the back upward, and restore the registry, review of the Microsoft article 332756 Knowledge Base (how to back up and restore the registry in Windows).

  Try these steps and see if it solves your problem:

  1. Click Start, and then type regedit.exe in the search field. When appears in regedit.exe, press enter or click on its icon.
  2. Provide consent or credentials appropriate to user account control if prompted.
  3. In the tree pane, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
  4. Open the subkey send to. If it does not exist, create it.
  5. In the subkey send worms, you will see a (default) string value. Ensure that it is set to {7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}.
  6. Log in and turn it on.

  If you are able to change the registry, I exported the correct values from the registry a new installation of Windows Vista that you can import. Simply download the following ZIP file, extract the content inside the file, double-click it and click 'Yes' to the guests.
