• can not clear 'my recent documents' drop files on the start menu

  Can't erase my files in the 'My recent documents' from the drop down on the start menu

  You didn't say what you tried to do (you did not also what version of Windows you have, including service pack level).

  Assuming you have some variety of Windows XP, the usual procedure is to right-click on the Start button, select Properties, click the Start Menu tab, click the Customize button, then finally click 'Clear list' or if you use the XP Menu, click the Advanced tab, then click on "Clear list."

  You can also use the FixIt tool in this article--> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307875

  Post back if you have done this and the list is always filled.

• How can I recover windows files on the start menu as "Accessories" after the fake recovery tool?

  My pc has been infected recently with the fake windows recovery tool. I don't know how to recover the files/folders in the start menu and the desktop that were there before.

  It seems to remove the shortcuts in the start program, so a show systemic does not help.  Or it does solve the problem of the "NoDesktop" under political Explorer setting, which prevents the user access to the desktop (see  ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938265.aspx).  I had to deal with a computer with these questions last week. I'm not sure it's the same virus (it was a fakesysdef one), but some things can not easily be corrected.  My experience was that I had to set up the shortcuts to start again, as they were not hidden, but they seem to just disappeared.

• Where can I find the program files on the start menu?

  Where can I find the program files that appeared when I clicked on the Start button in older versions of Windows?

  I would definitely recommend getting the update: it solves a lot of problems and significantly accelerates things.  But if you haven't yet done so, the option "All Apps" is nestled in a toolbar.  You can right click on an empty area of your home page to display the toolbar.

• Empty the program file on the start menu

  The program in my Start menu file is completely empty. I have no idea where the files that were there disappeared. I see a lot of them when I open the C"" drive. How to make their return in the program file?

  Check to see if you can locate your program under C:\Documents and Settings\ files\Start Menu\Programs.

• Copy of the Batch (.bat) file to the Start Menu for all users User/Each

  Created a lot on each machine (file1.bat) leader to create a queue (file2.bat) of lot for a launch of a page to start windows.

  This is the content of file1.bat:

  off @echo

  @echo > C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\file2.bat «»
  @echo start http://www.MSN.com/ > C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\file2.bat

  Expected result is to copy the file2.bat to the start of each user profile.  However, the file2.bat is not copied to the Startup Windows 7, 8, 10 folder after the test.

  However, it will work in file1.bat:

  off @echo

  @echo>"C:\Testing\file2.bat
  @echo start http://www.MSN.com/ > C:\Testing\file2.bat

  I have not the network joins a domain.  I need to send the file1.bat to all staff.  I intend to deploy to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

  Thanks in advance to all.  Any help is appreciated.

  To run a command as Administrator file, you must click on it & select run as administrator.  Despite being connected with an Admin-level account, individual actions like yours needs as the run as Admin permission.  This is the way Windows works.

  

  You cannot add anything in a batch file to run as an administrator.

  You will see the system's responses to your batch file by adding a last line containing just the word break [test]

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  "File2.bat is to launch a web page which start machine"-Yes, I understand that. ""  But using a batch file to do this isn't better than just sending them the URL shortcut to the Web page instead.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  "Wish only to send the file1.bat for users" - you must give them instructions to run as admin.  Since the instructions are necessary in all cases, then you might as well keep it simple by sending them a shortcut in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder and url of msn [shortcut].  In your email, you can tell them to use the first shortcut [Startup folder] to get to the good copy of place and then * the second [msn url] in there, giving approval to the Admin when / if * it is called for.

  Some target computers may have lower security settings [settings "UAC"] meaning permission Admin is not necessary, but since you do not know that in advance, you will have to warn that it may be necessary.

  If there are multiple users on each computer only one of them has to do this on each machine.  You must choose a user who is either an Admin user who knows the password for this computer.  If you ask each individual user to do this, then only the first will be something to see; others may follow your instructions, but they will see that it has already been done and he can stop then.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  It is difficult to tell many users on many different computers to do something.  Some will ignore your instructions & do nothing.  Some will try to comply, but will make mistakes.  Some will do what you want.  You won't know the results even if you ask them to email you back to let you know.

• The Start Menu program folder is empty

  I was trying to organize my folders in the program file in the start menu. In my effort to move some of the files, a new appeared folder also named 'Programmes', which seemed to be a duplicate in the program file, so I removed it. When I did the menu is empty, so I tried to restore it from the Recycle Bin. He restored some of the files and folders, but none that were originally on the computer, such as the Solitaire and file administration tools. Essentially, I want to clean the computer and reinstall all programs and files that have been on it the day I bought the computer. However, I don't have a CD to do this.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• How can I add my Documents on the right side of the start menu?

  I had my old computer set up so that there is one, I suppose, a link to My Documents on the right side of the Start Menu.  If I clicked it it made a menu drop-down, and then resumed for a folder in there.  The hard drive on this computer is dead on my and I try to get this new back upward in the same way as the old.  Can someone tell me how to get that back?

  But you see the small triangles, not you?

  

  Depending on what you select here:

  

  gives you the following options:

  • Display as a link - button when the Start Menu is clicked, it opens a window for it.
  • Display as a menu - button when the Start Menu is clicked or hovered over, he developed a menu for him.

  Do this for all items (computer, Documents, etc.).

  And this isn't a right but normal (left-clicking) click...

  No, the arrow indicates a list of shortcuts. Sound have an apparent which is a part of Windows 7 that allows you to quickly access recent activities associated with Internet Explorer. You're going to either click on Internet Explorer or not, so hovering over it is more a desired action as need for any change. If it offends simply PIN you the icon and PIN in the taskbar instead and use it from there. Releasing it's easy: with Windows | ActiveWin | Laptops | Microsoft MVP
