It changes all your Office shortcuts it is because they are all types of .exe files.

Please specify which files types we are dealing with are and what programs you want to open in.

JPEG file type would be best for a photo editing program / Viewer.

Doc files would be best to open in word Office program,

  • Start in > all programs displays of empty program files

    Hi - I hope someone can help me. I searched and found others who have had the same problem but no one has released a fix to work for her.

    I got a virus last week that hid all the icons on my desktop and in my Start menu in my C: drive. I deleted the virus and was able to restore my desktop icons, drive C: and Menu master boot successfully, but I still have a problem. When I click on "All programs", my program files appear, but they are all empty. Programs are always installed, but for some reason, they do not appear when I click on the folder in the start menu > all programs. I can't do a restore system - the virus deleted my restore points as well. Is there a way I can rebuild my Start menu without having to do a reinstall full? I tried to create a new user profile, but the problem exists in the new profile as well.

    I can run programs if I type in the correct .exe file in the search at the bottom of my Start menu bar (for example, iexplore.exe), but if I just type the name of the program, search does not find it. When I click on start > all programs, it seems normal at first, but if I click on a folder (such as Microsoft Office), it just says: (empty) under the name of the folder.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I checked that there is no virus on my computer by running MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware in safe mode, run the Avira rescue disk.

    Folder options are checked to show hidden files and folders, so that's not all.

    Thank you!

    If you place the cursor over the menu start all the entry of programs then right click & select open and then again to select open all users, shortcuts appear in the files that open upwards [i.e. just are we discussing their appearance in the menu programs all]?

    If the shortcuts are here [I'm just a little hesitant about the meaning of what you have written before], then you might just get away with running the System File Checker.

    I always agree with well Dissed - that the virus could hide here all the time since the last attack.  If all goes well, there is a good guide to the procedures for removal of malicious software by SpiritX in How to remove spyware from the computer , it will prevent a determine of this infection.

    Good luck with this annoying problem.

    Hello

    1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?

    Follow these steps and check if they help.

    Step 1:

    I would say you rebuild the icon cache and check if the problem persists.

    a. press the keyboard Windows logo key combination + R to bring up the Run dialog box.
    b. type cmd and press ENTER to open the command prompt window.
    c. in the command prompt window, type the following commands pressing ENTER after each line:
    Taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
    attrib-h "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db.
    del "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db.
    Explorer.exe

    d. this restart Windows Explorer and rebuild the cache icons as needed.

    Step 2:

    Test the issue in a new user account.

  • back or a script for recursivley travel through a directory tree and make a shortcut relitive to a file located in each directory

    Nice day

    I have a bunch of files that are located on a network computer that has a shared parent directory.  I need to create a shortcut to the .exe which are in each directory.  There are more than 1000 directories, so the creation of all the shortcuts by right-clicking on each one of them is out of the question.  Shortcuts created to point to the original files, even though I'm moving shortcuts to another system.  You should be able to run the exe file from the network share from any system on the network.  I use robocopy with like to copy the directory structure and all the files in each directory except the .exe due to their size.  I wish that the finished product to fit on a USB key so that I can plugin for any system and then run the program pointed to by the shortcut.  Basically, it will be a reference in offline mode that can be used on a system that is online.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    OK I will propose it.  Wasn't quite sure were put it.  Thank you

  • My office and my files are empty.

    My office and my files are empty. When I tried to replace some files, I was told that they already existed as it seems they are always there, but they are hidden and I can't get back them. No one knows what happened or what I can do to restore?

    Hello

    A handy utility to view all the files on your PC is called Commander free of charge, on the link below, because it displays the files that the operating system normally hides and has a search function.

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/PHP/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10

    It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip , which can be used to open it so that you can run the Setup program.

    When it is installed, run Commander for free and see if your missing files are now visible.  If they are, right click the folder they are in and select Properties, clear the check box of the "Hidden" box and click on apply to save the changes.  Then close free Commander and check if the folder and the files it contains are now visible in Windows.

    Kind regards

  • iBooks/iCloud problem: all the books transformed into "encrypted files".

    I recently downloaded all my iBook (files PDF and epub files) on the iCloud / iDrive with the iBook on my iPad app. Many worked for awhile, but when I tried to use iBooks after a few weeks of inactivity, none of my downloaded iBooks were visible in iBooks. I looked in the iDrive and there is a section of iBooks, that seems to have all my old iBook (15 GB) files, but each file appears as "Encrypted File". I have no idea on how to decrypt these files so that I can use them again.

    The iBooks interface displays only the empty shelves.

    I don't know what triggered this loss of all my books. Anyone have an idea how I could recover my books?

    Overall, I must say that I am very disappointed with the whole iCloud / iDrive system. It took an eternity to download files, the data transfer is extremely slow and I'm not even able to download iBooks from my PC to the iCloud. I have much better experiences with Google Drive or Dropbox, which operate in a transparent way through everything, platform. I guess that the iCloud / iDrive works only in an all-Apple configuration

    I have the same problem too, all my files epub in the ibooks app disappeared after I have sync my iphone on icloud drive and when I checked the ibooks on my icloud storage it appears as "encrypted file.

    Help, please!

  • How to access the tab 'Save all' when I close several jpeg files that have been adjusted with the "color adjust tool? He is currently making me close and save one at a time. Thanks for any help :)

    How to access the tab 'Save all' when I close several jpeg files that have been adjusted with the "color adjust tool? He is currently making me close and save one at a time.  I've just upgraded to El Capitan.  Thanks for any help :)

    I assume that you use the application overview.

    I can't find an answer to back up everything, but a workaround could be while the file menu options are visible, press the option key

    and the point of the window will become close, if you click on that dialogue will ask you if you want to restore the changes or save

    pressing Save will close the image with the changes and then move to the next image and so on.

  • Refresh all labview calls in a sequence file after change of VI

    Hello

    I don't know if that's how Teststand's supposed to work, or is there a workaround for this.

    I have a VI that I finally adds enumerated values to a drop down menu on the front panel. When I do it, then I won't be able to run any sequence that calls this VI unless I reload the VI. It won't be a problem if I have to do it once or twice, but I use this VI in all directions, and in this case, it becomes tedious.

    Is there a better way to automatically update all the VI calls in a file of sequence both?

    Thank you

    Sam

    Older versions of TestStand do not contain the tools-> update VI calls... featured.
