  Original title: Start Menu, all programs

  I don't know how but my Start menu, all programs have an extension .lnk instead of the extension which actually would allow me to open the program itself.  Don't know how it happened but I have been looking for a solution for more than a year now, and I'm not about to find an answer.  Don't know what to short to bring it to Best Buy and watch it with a geek.  Can someone point me in the right direction and tell me how to get the menu start original, all programs back to the way they should be?  Thank you

• If I have 64-bit and 32-bit on the same computer, do I have access to the same programs and data?

  Currently, my system is Windows 7 64 bit with 8 GB of RAM. I know that the 32-bit version can use only 2 GB but it runs on a computer that has more, right? Assuming I'm right about that, if I install both, should I rate the same programs and data?

  You can install the two operating systems on a player, but you must create a separate partition for one of them.
  You can share data, but not the programs that each application must be installed in each version.
  That said, I see no benefit in the same version of Windows, but with different pieces of dual-boot. Why would you do?

  For Photoshop CS2 activation has been reprocessed, so your original drive and the serial number does not work.

  As an owner of CS2, Adobe has a copy without activation and serial number, to which you are entitled.

  The serial number is to the right of the download link for Windows. You'll need this one, not your old number.

  Original title: data recovery

  Is there a program that will allow me to recover programs and files that have been written too by a full system restore?  I had to do a complete system restore, because the computer has been locked up in a start of the closed loop cycle.

  Hi Apmech9,

  1. don't you restore the computer to factory settings?
  2. do you just restore the computer to an earlier time by using the system restore feature in Windows XP?

  If you restore the computer to its factory settings, you will then get in touch with the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

  If you had just restored the computer to an earlier time using System Restore, you can undo the system restore to revert back the changes.

• Oops - I uninstalled a few programs and now I have no sound

  OK - I feel really stupid, and after several hours of trying to fix it myself I feel even more stupid.

  A couple of days, I decided to remove some programs on my computer that it seemed that I didn't need. I deleted 2 or 3 - everything the computer I said "rarely used". I thought I might as well get rid of a few things that might slow me down. And no, I don't remember the names of those that I deleted.

  Now - a few days later I noticed I have no sound - not the startup music, no itunes, no sound with video. Nothing. All my strings are tight and my speakers are on. I tried to reset my computer to a week ago, but he said that there are no changes. I went a month ago and he said the same. In the meantime, the message of itunes is "Itunes has detected a problem in your audio configuration, playback audio/visual does not work correctly.  In Control Panel, I went to 'Sounds, speech and audio devices - the volume' and it shows just "no audio device." I went through the troubleshooting steps and he told me to go to-control panel, printers, and other devices and then add material - but it don't tell me what to add. Frustrated!

  I know I messed up something good enough, but it seems that I should be able to reinstall what I uninstalled. I don't know what it is!

  A few directions step by step on how to get back my sound would be very appreciated!

  Simply go to the site of the manufacturer of your PC/computer laptop, find the support page for your machine, then download and install the latest audio drivers XP.

  See you soon,.

  I want to get a new motherboard and processor, but because my Win 7 license is OEM, I have to get another Win 7 disk to replace the operating system on the hard drive, I watched the Windows Easy Transfer tool, but I'm not sure if I will lose programs, if that's the case then I'll upgrade not as some programs are very valuable for me and too expensive to replace I don't want to format the drive only to find out that the programs are sunk, I'll put up with the monitor sometimes not detected at startup upward.

  To repeat, the drivers are obtained from your PC to the support site, in the case of a brand PC, or the manufacturer of the motherboard in the case of a generic desktop computer.

  Using the Device Manager will update the drivers from windows update, which is not the same thing, and they may have the functionality of the drivers of real equipment manufacturers

• How can I MOVE buttons on taskbar to a new location without having to close all programs and resume in the order I want?

  I like to keep the buttons in my taskbar has organized with the browser and messaging on the left, followed by Windows Explorer and other items. If they get out of order or programs are loaded into a different order, how can I MOVE the buttons to a new location without having to close all programs and resume in the order I want? In addition, sometimes, one of program buttons seems in itself to migrate out of place and I need to get back to where it should be: same problem.

  Hi shohareZohre

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

  The task bar is the horizontal bar at the bottom of your screen time. In contrast to the office, which can get obscured by the windows on top of it, the taskbar are visible nearly all the time. It includes four main sections:

  ·         The Start button, which opens the start menu.

  ·         The Quick Launch bar, which allows you to start programs with a single click.

  ·         The middle section, which shows you what programs and documents you have open and allows you to quickly switch between them.

  ·         The notification area, which includes a clock and icons (small pictures) that communicate the status of certain programs and computer settings.

  Add or remove programs on the Quick Launch toolbar

  The Quick Launch toolbar is located on the task bar and is a convenient way to open programs. You can add or remove program icons in the Quick Launch toolbar so that you have easy access to the programs that you use frequently.

  To add a program icon to the Quick Launch toolbar

  Click the icon for the program to add (you can find most icons of programs on the start menu or the desktop) and then drag it to the Quick Launch toolbar.

  Note: If you don't see the toolbar tools quick launch, right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, click Toolbars, and then click quick launch.

  To remove a program to the Quick Launch toolbar icon

  Right-click on the icon of the program and then click Remove.

  Notes: ·         Delete an icon from the taskbar does not remove its corresponding computer program.

  ·         If you want to stop showing a toolbar on the taskbar, right-click an empty area of the taskbar, point to toolbars, and then click the item that you want to stop broadcasting.

  NOTE: The ability to move the programs in the taskbar is not possible in windows Vista but the same functionality is available in Windows 7. Please see the link below.
