All programs list

Go to the Start button, selecting programs all does list all programs, about 8 of them.  How to get back my list of programs?

Usually, this happens because a piece of malware hides the shortcuts in the "All Users" folder.
As an administrator user, follow these steps to display all shortcuts or folders that have been hidden:

  1. Bring up a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") or (Windows key + R-> "cmd")
  2. Enter the following command at the command prompt:

    attrib "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu Menu\Programs\*.*" h / d/s

    (be sure to include the quotation marks)

  3. This should display hidden entries in your Start menu.

Also, it wouldn't hurt to run a Malware scan on your computer.  A free program is MalwareBytes

    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.

  • All programs list - moved shortcut on the desktop, but want to add back to the list of all programs

    I moved a shortcut from the list of all programs on the desktop.  I would like to keep the shortcut on the desktop, but also restore on all programs.  How can I do this?  I tried drag-and-drop and Windows Explorer without success.  Topic is not found in help.  Windows XP Professional SP3.

    the visual office includes folders and you can copy the shortcut via Solution Explorer.

    simply right-click on the Start button and select open.

    Explorer opens on the behalf of users.

    If you look closely, you will see a folder called desktop.

    find the shortcut, then copy.

    Find the folder of programs all then drill down to the subfolder you want and paste the shortcut in him.

    You can also use the above method to organize your desktop.

    Incidentally, do not play with the admin folder or all users.

  • Delete an EMPTY FOLDER in the all programs list.

    SuperAntiSpyware uninstalled from my computer. Now, the name appears in the list of programs, when you click on the Start button.

    I can't find out how to remove the empty file with the name of SuperAntiSpyware.

    Thanks guys...

    What happens if you right click and select "remove from this list"?

    The above is that if you have a shortcut for SuperAntiSpyware in the main part of the start menu.  If you mean that when you click on "All programs" you still see a folder named "SuperAntiSpyware" then open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program and delete the folder "SuperAntiSpyware".

  • Organize the all programs list in group folders

    Up to Windows 7, I could combine my programs in the list of all programs into folders (such as 'Software Development Apps' or 'Windows Apps').  But I'm not (so far) able to do this with Windows 7 and my programs list is too big.  Is there a way to group applications in Windows 7?

    Hi Dcowan,

    ·         What happens when you try to drag and drop programs in the folder?

    Personally, I tried to consolidate programs in all programs in Windows 7 and I was able to do the same.

    You should be able to do the same thing.

    You can select the program in all programs, drag the program to the necessary folder where you want to add and drop.

  • Windows Media Center is not in the list of all programs - Vista Home Premium

    Hi, I can't find Windows Media Center on my computer - I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I try to use my TV on my computer. It has a built-in TV Tuner. But I can't find Media Center.

    I know when I got the computer last year - it came with something to activate the TV - but I have no internet at this point - so nothing could be done. Since then, I've upgraded to Service Pack 2. All the documentation said that Media Center should be there. I've looked everywhere and Media Center does not appear to be more!

    Can you please help - if I don't now how can I access the Media Center.

    Thanks in advance.

    Julie

    Thanks for this, before I saw this, I worked on how to solve this problem.

    First, I downloaded the cumulative update for Windows Media Center-still nothing.

    Then I peeked my Control Panel/Default Programs/Set Program Access and Computer Defaults.

    My settings were now on the custom, and default media player - tick on "Enable access to this program" next to Windows Media Center had been removed! (of course by another media program)-I reticked this box and as if by magic, the program appeared in all programs and was now visible to the rest of the computer. "

    This setting should make it invisible to the rest of the computer - he of course does not use if it is checked.

    (I also found once I ticked the box next to Windows Media Player (who had also disappeared, even if it was marked as a media player by default) - he also appeared in the all programs list- and he had never been there before!) I know because I had to go and insert my link on the desktop to access it.

    All sorted - what a huge relief. Just as it takes.

  • How to make "all programs" in 4 columns instead of 3

    I use XP SP3 and available to the normal 3 columns for 'all programs' is overloaded. So how do we "all programs" in 4 columns instead of 3? I'm sure that there is only a tweak in the registry for this, but can't find it.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "overloaded".  The "All programs" list includes additional columns as additional entries are created.

    As far as I KNOW, you have two options: you can have a column that scrolls (which I find hard to believe that anyone actually wants), or you can group entries of all programs into subcategories so that there are fewer entries in the main list of all programs.

    To scroll through all programs:

    • Right-click on the Start button, and then select Properties
    • In the "Start Menu" tab, click on the button "Customize".
    • If you use the XP menu, click the Advanced tab (no advanced for the "classic Start menu" tab)
    • Select "Scroll programs" in the Start Menu items list

    All programs group in subcategories

    The list of all programs is just a collection of "shortcuts" - that is, links to these programs themselves real.  These shortcuts are stored in one of two special folders:

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu run\programs
    C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu\Programs

    Using Windows Explorer, you can create new subfolders in one of these two files and move there (not copy) the applicable subfolder shortcuts.  Note: you can easily open two special folders by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting "Open ' or explores]" and "open [or explore] all users."
