"All programs" is empty after running Registry Cleaner

After running registry cleaning software, I lost the ability to see all my programs when I click on "All programs"... property is (empty)... same problem when I click on "Favorites"... resulting (blank)... suggestions?

It would be good to know how the system restore has failed.

Any registry cleaner worthy of the name should back up the registry or at least to save the made changes so that you could "undo" them.  Try to run to the top and look for an option "Cancel".

Another possible option would be to create a new user on your system.  When a new user is created, the default desktop items are regenerated and this could be a way to get back them.

Other than that, you may have to re-create your icons to find programs in the folder c:\Program Files\ and recreate the shortcuts on your desktop and start menu.

The register is an essential part of Windows and should not be messed with except if you know enough to back up the registry before you do anything about him, and restore the registry when things go wrong.

  • program files empty after diversion

    My computer has been hijacked, all files were hidden. I think I fixed by passing through all the hidden files and unchecked, but now all my programes say they are empty. How can I get them back when I click on programes. I tried the system restore, but it is not one of a bygone era.

    Have you run any cleaning temp file? If you run any cleaners then unhide.exe should bring these programs shortcuts to files.

    Run Unhide.exe to remove the flags hidden files and folders.

    I wrote an article to EA about this infection which hides files and move desktop shortcuts and shortcuts startmenu of the program in the temp\smtmp folder.

  • Start "All programs" menu empty file (Windows Vista)

    All my programs on my menu start "all programs" folder disappeared. There are a few but those I recently downloaded. Accessories is not yet there. I searched all cases online to find the authors response to repopulate my all programs, but without success.

    I have restarted my computer several times. I did an analysis of checker (SFC) to file system. I ran a registry by Uniblue Fixer; I tried antivirus scans and analyses ad-aware; nothing seems to work. I still have all my programs and have lost but they are simply not easy access and I really want to take the time to build my own folder "all programs." I really want my old one back. But how?

    And P.S. I can't just restore because I never ran a backup before, so there is nothing to restore.

    Thank you!!!

    1.) open the path below, replace the {username} with your own login
    Start\program C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
    2.) look if there is nothing there. If there is not something, it means it is initially empty. Meaning, it could have been deleted accidentally away.

    Recovery of most of them back
    1.) go to the path below, with a different name as {username} by default or user
    Start\program C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
    2.) copy them through your way with your {username} don't forget not to vote also useful for others and to accept the proposed response, if it is relevant build it KB in this Forum.

  • "All programs" list empty

    Yesterday, I noticed that when I click on "All programs" in the Start Menu, there are all the programs listed. I can still access all of C:\Program Files, so I know that I've accidentally deleted all the programs. Is it possible to restore them to "all programs"? Attached is a link to my "All programs" list look like now.

    Hi LisaEB,

    1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    It seems that if you have something close to 70 or more shortcuts/folders in the all users folders & Start Menu/user combined program, the list of all programs will eventually be empty or empty. Check the number of recent programs that can be displayed in the Start Menu.

    Method 1:

    a. click Windows orb to open the Start Menu.

    b. right-click on all programs, and then select open.

    c. double-click the folder programs. There should be a list of folders.

    d. create a new folder.

    e. Select a bunch of files in the folder programs and drag the folders to the new folder.

    f. restart your computer and check if the programs are shown when you click on start > all programs.

    g repeat the above steps until the list is displayed in all programs.

    Method 2:

    You can also try the following steps and check if it helps...

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, 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 how to back up and restore the registry, click the following windows Help article.

    Back up the registry

    a. Click Start and type regedit.exe.

    b. Select regedit in the search list.

    c. now, navigate to the following keys:-
    HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

    d. the value of Start Menu to "%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu".

    e. go to HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders.

    f. common value Start Menu to "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu.

    g. close the registry editor and restart the machine.

  • Programs on all programs show empty

    Hi bonjy03, got a virus trojan:DOS / Alureon.E and can't open some programs more missing icons on the desktop after the jremoved virus. How can I get back them

    I'm not sure it's the virus you've had, but there was a malware out there that simply set the hidden attribute on the programs and the desktop icons.  First, configure your computer so that you can see hidden files.  To do this:
    Double-click any folder, and then Tools-> Folder Options-> View (tab)->
    Then click on the show the hidden... files"" button. "and clear the check from the box" Hide protected operating system... " ».
    He's going to complain about it, but just insist that it's OK.

    And search for hidden files in the following directories (they will appear "ghosts"), right-click on it, select 'Properties' and turn off the "Hidden" attribute  Look in these directories:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Bureau
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Menu
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu run\programs
    C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu
    C:\Documents and Settings\\Desktop

    Once completed, you can return to the display of hidden files for the settings that you prefer.

  • All tabs are empty after session restore

    After clicking on a link to a page that has opened in a new tab, all the tabs in the window of my browser no longer works correctly (i.e. I could not close them, make new tabs or go to the previous page), and the restoration of my session turned into 'new tab' with no way to access their previous content (the number of tabs is the same). See attached image for reference, the Firefox tab is only after session restore. The browser think that he restored the session correctly, as her 'restore previous session' option is greyed out.
    Restoration of a backup version of my profile to one of two days folder there are just restores the history recorded, including, 'recently closed tabs' list had not returned to the backup version and shows the tabs that I closed earlier today. These tabs are functioning normally.

    You can save session files in the sessionstore-backups folder in the Firefox profile folder to keep possible significant session data.

    previous.js (cleanBackup: copy of sessionstore.js from previous session that was loaded successfully)
    recovery.js (latest version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
    recovery.bak (previous version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
    upgrade.js-<build_id> (backup created during an upgrade of Firefox)
    

    You can copy a file in the sessionstore-backup folder to the main profile and rename sessionstore.js file to replace the current file (make a backup of the current sessionstore.js).

    The sessionstore.js file is created from recovery.js when you close Firefox and are removed and copied in previous.js when you start Firefox.

  • Incorrect SCXI all the playback channels after running for more than 30 minutes

    I have a SCXI-1001 module. I use a thermocouple module (1102, breakout box 1300), input analog (off 2, map of 1100, 1300 in small groups), analog output (1124 map, 1325 breakout) and a relay (card 1160, breakout 1324). I'm using labview 2009. I created my channels manually to read all channels, I need about 1 task for entries of thermocouple and analog, 1 analog and 1 for task task for the output relay (total 3 tasks). Each task comes into contact with the SCXI area in a different section of a timed sequence. I read all my channels with precision for 30 minutes but then all of a sudden they stop reading accurately and all thermocouples read the same incorrect value as well as all analog input channels. I can't change the output channels either.

    The problem occurs more quickly if I increase the clock frequency. There are no errors showing when this problem occurs.

    What is an interaction of hardware failure or a software.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also need to resolve this issue quickly because it is delaying the test.

    Thanks for your help

    Tim

    Thank you all for your response. I managed to solve the problem. It was a problem with the start of the task and to connect the clocks for different tasks. I've included only a single task to start my unstable code in the source code as for posed multiple startup tasks. However, I started my slave tasks (analog and digital outputs) before starting my master's work (analougue entered). This seems to have solved the problem. I intend to go more far by adding clocks at 2 slave atsks and linking them to the task of master.

    I used the sequence as part of documentation. Each links to sequence number to another sheet that I have has a flowchart to say what is each part. As you say there is no need to put in a sequence and do so limit labviews own data stream. I'll remove the sequences and put my documentation on the codes in the code directly because it is made in the examples of labview.

    Thank you for your help

  • The CCleaner registry cleaner reports "invalid or empty the file class."

    Original title: when using CCleaner (cleaning the registry), the only problem that arises is; 'Class file invalid or empty', how can I solve this problem?

    After using CCleaner, registry cleaner, CCleaner is displayed the following problem;

    Problem: Invalid or empty the file class

    I have the 32-bit version of Windows XP service pack 3 and Windows Explorer 8, is installed on this desktop computer.

    Please, help me to solve this problem.

    Thank you for any help you can give me!

    The problem with registry cleaners in general is that they often report "of the problems' when there is no problem.  If the user actually deletes an entry from the registry in response to such a notice, then it could well be a problem.

    Just because you have not known - again - a problem with the Ccleaner registry cleaning tool does not mean that you won't.  Because the 'cleansing' of the registry has not been shown to have an effect on the performance of the system, the risk of deleting something important makes use of stupid registry cleaners.  Read the two links in my previous post.

    As I wrote originally, the 'problem' reported by Ccleaner is probably due to his inability to properly manage the data type "REG_NONE" in the registry key.

    The way to fix this is to ignore and stop using Ccleaner registry that tells you that there is a 'problem '.
