• Windows 7 Excel and Word 2010 jump lists appear only not on the Start Menu

  Hello

  I would like to apologize if this is in the wrong section... I got here by looking at another thread, which ultimately does not solve my problem. I read the same solutions on dozens of different threads and not one has done something to help, so I thought I'd try to ask once again, indicating that I have tried and see if anyone has any other ideas!
  ... I also like to apologize if "jump list" is the wrong term. I mean, it is when I click on my Start Menu, and "Microsoft Word/Excel 2010" icon is the small arrow on the side right does not allow me to click everywhere for what files I recently consulted on Word. I have exactly the same problem in Excel 2010, but No problem at all for Powerpoint 2010 and it seems that programs such as Notepad and so forth are very well as well.
  What I did:
  1. right click on 'Taskbar', click 'Properties', select the "Start Menu" tab, under "Privacy", I checked the boxes ("Store and display recently opened programs in the start menu" and "Store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar").
  Make a right-click on 'Taskbar'-> properties-> select Menu-> customize-> items recent fact make it appear a list but less it is tab and not attached to the application (which is what I want to xD).
  My original problem was that the list of recent items for Word has not been updated and it was stuck on what he was about 3 months - which eventually prove needless after I lived my computer and deleted, renamed and moved a bunch of word documents! Unchecking the boxes got rid of the arrow completely, and when I checked hide them he refused to reappear for Word and Excel.
  2. I was at '% AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations' all files deleted from here and restarted my computer - ' 1b4dd67f29cb1962.automaticDestinations - ms' seem to be for the word, and I think that ' 3d961d1bb3da929c.automaticDestinations - ms' are to Excel. I have them I deleted, I moved it out of the folder, I renamed them, I sang for them, etc. etc. and every time it did not work.
  This seems to be a really popular solution that works for most of the time everybody... it does not work for me!
  I've also been to '% ' AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations and deleted everything from there.
  3. I checked that related to open different file extensions in Excel and Word programs are associated with Excel and Word. Everything seems to be strong in that Department.
  I use Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and fight with versions of Word and Excel 2010!
  Then... I don't think anyone has any other ideas?
  Thank you in advance!

  I emptied two recent used folders but did not work.   Then I fixed my office installation to add/remove programs in the control panel and that did the trick.  I have office 2007 and 2010 installed, but make sure that I only use 2010.  Will probably uninstall 2007.

• Microsoft Word pinned to the Start Menu do not open the menu in the right sidebar

  With Excel in my Start menu when I put my cursor over them or click on the right arrow all my pinned documents appear.  Microsoft Word used to do that, but now nothing happens if I put my cursor over them or click the right arrow.  He worked and suddenly stopped.  Any suggestions?  All other start icons show documents pinned and recent programs or non-Microsoft.  I tried to remove it and then put it back and restarted my computer and tried again, neither worked.  Thank you.

  This seems to be a little corruption in the history of the document, but first check your Recent Documents . You decided to keep it a secret, your version of Word so here are a few tracks for Word 2007.

  With Word open to a blank document, click the Office button , then click on Word Options in the lower right. Select Advanced from the list on the left and scroll down to the section display halfway, the right pane. Check the next number of show this number of recent documents: to ensure that it is above zero. If it is zero, to increase the number to something you want to keep, and then click OK at the bottom right.

  If the show this number of recent documents: setting was already above zero, there may be a small file corruption in historical data. Frequent data section the Jump lists are stored in this folder,

• Post Virus left side of the Start Menu is empty - XP Home Edition

  Although I had (have) Microsoft Security Essential under my protection against the virus, I have acquired the Virus from Windows XP Recovery. Although there are long, I lost the functionality of system restore using Spybot, Malware bytes and MY, I think I've eradicated the virus. I use the computer in normal mode, and it seems to work normally. However, all elements previously available on the left side of the start menu, including MS Word, are no longer.

  I use a version of MS Office 2003. I can access MS Word documents stored on the computer and laboriously open a new Word document like this, but I get a message that there were a change in the model when I try to close any Word document. The guest in Tools/Options/save message is not checked and no auto-macro display in the macro area.

  Editing the registry is above my pay grade and I don't have the disks of office. Two questions: 1) any suggestion (s) rather than buying another copy of Microsoft Office?, and 2) what are the chances that I actually eliminated the virus?

  Thanks in advance for any help,

• In Windows 7, after the application of SP1, I can no longer access my phone book from the start menu or use the search function.

  I just applied SP1.  Until I applied this update that everything worked as I expected.

  Since then, whenever I type anything in the search on the start menu, there is no result.  The only exception to this is that if I type in a full path, for example "C:\Program Files\", how I get a list of files in that directory.  If I type in everything that is not a path, as for example the letter p or the word 'paint', told me that "no element not corresponding to your research."

  If I click 'more results', I get an error with a big red x box.  The legend is "search query: = paint", for example if I searched for painting.  The text is "Windows cannot find ': search query = painting '.»  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "I wasn't expecting this error box, but rather a window with a list of search results.

  I have downloaded and run the troubleshooter of research - Mats_Run.search.exe.  It tells me that no errors have been detected and gave me the option to reset the search.  I did this, then waited a whole day to search for re - index, but the results are the same.
  In addition, after reading a few other questions on the microsoft Web site, I've done different things which seem to as they should not work - I have turned me folder, active random registry settings options, etc..  Indeed, none of these things had an impact or shows something unusual.
  Also, I can access is no longer my home directory from the start menu.  If I click on my user name that appears in the upper right corner of the menu start, the start menu closes and nothing happens.
  There are a few other circumstances where I can't reach my directory.  For example, if I have an Explorer pointed toward a library, say "Downloads", if I click on my user name in the breadcrumb path, he will remain in the directory downloads instead of going to my home folder, as I expect.  Also, if I click on my user name in the Favorites list in the left pane of the Explorer, I would expect the Explorer window to access my home folder.  Instead, he remains in the folder where he currently resides.
  As I said earlier, before applying the update it worked as expected.
  Thanks a lot for your time!

• How to remove an item from the start menu in Windows 7?

  I tried to install a game written for an earlier version of Windows.  It did not work, but when I uninstalled the program, he left an icon in my Start menu.  I can't find a way to delete the item in my Start menu.

  If I click on the link, I get a message that says that this is not a valid Win32 application.

  If I right click on the link, I get options:
  Play
  Run as administrator
  More games from Microsoft
  Support
  PIN to the taskbar
  PIN to Start Menu
  Sort by name

  I miss the opportunity, we usually need to change the Menu start manually!

  I did all that, although I had to 'Show hidden files' in two different places, but the guarded program reappear, even after that I deleted everything that I could find that had "Lemmings" in there.  I had installed the program on the D drive and I could delete it, but the next time I saw the Start Menu, it would put a file on drive D named Lemmings Revolution.exe (with no data in this document, 0 bytes).

  I tried the support link from Microsoft and the thought that should work, but alas, I didn't have the product code to enter the FixIt program when asked.

  I finally took a huge risk Open regedit and then sought to any occurrence of the word "Lemmings".  I deleted everything in the registry that referenced "Lemmings", then returned to the D drive (in the command prompt) and deleted the above programme, after that I restarted my computer.

  So far, it seems to have solved the problem...

  (I knew after you remove some of the registry keys, one of the contained key code product I could entered the FixIt program, but by then I had already made changes.)

  Thanks to everyone who tried to help me!

• MS word offers the option of Microsoft Word 2010 (2) in the list of the start menu

  Original title: program registration under Start button

  I don't think it was like that the other day when I finally used Word.  Any ideas on why it would start that looks like this?  I made no changes to my computer.

  I use Microsoft 7 Home Premium.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Debba,.

  -You have two entries in the start menu for Microsoft Word? One is Microsoft Windows Word 2010 (2) and the other is Microsoft Word 2010 Microsoft Office on the start menu?

  -Is this Microsoft Word 2010 (2) successfully opened?

  -This happens to you with other programs in the list?

  If there are two icons for Microsoft Word 2010 on the Start menu, remove the icon of Windows of Microsoft Word 2010 (2).

  All you have to do is click on Microsoft Word 2010 (2) and click on remove from this list.

  This seems to be only a Microsoft Word 2010 shortcut added to the list of the start menu.

  Hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.

• Missing programs in all programs on the start menu in Windows 7

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 installed on my laptop. In recent weeks, I noticed that a lot of programs have disappeared from all programs in the start menu. If I dig up the program on my HARD drive so I'm able to find but it causes a lot of problems that the programs are not visible in all programs. Thanks in advance!

  Thanks for the reply!

  Yes, I had most of the programs listed in there, but some programs were missing...
  Such as PowerPoint and Word, etc were missing from the list of all programs...
  So what I did that I dragged the original MS Office program into the specified folder...
  I guess that is not automatic!

• After the awakening of the mode standby, Thunderbird crashes if the start menu of windows 10 is open RESOLVED in version 38.3.0

  If I have Thunderbird up and then I put windows in sleep mode, when I come back once again, the start menu in Windows 10 appears automatically (can someone tell me how to stop this?). If I click anywhere on the screen menu start disappears and everything works fine, but if I forget to do it and for example, double-click on an email to open it, Thunderbird and then freezes. If I close Thunderbird and re-open he, she, then it brings up the email that I had clicked on, so he must have tried to open it while it was frozen.
  This isn't a big problem, just annoying bloom. Don't know if it's a problem of Windows 10 or Thunderbird. If someone can tell me how to stop start menu from popping up automatically, it wouldn't solve the problem, but it would be at least!

  Version 38.3.0 is now available. Resolve the problem?
