    Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

If I dig up the program on my HARD drive so I'm able to find but it causes a lot of problems that the programs are not visible in all programs. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply!

    Yes, I had most of the programs listed in there, but some programs were missing...
    Such as PowerPoint and Word, etc were missing from the list of all programs...
    So what I did that I dragged the original MS Office program into the specified folder...
    I guess that is not automatic!

  • Folder icon in all programs on the start menu

    I tried to change the icons of the folders in all programs on the start menu. But after that, it has been restored. Nothing is left.

    Hoping that windows can automatically display the icons of the programs installed on these files.

    Hello

    I understand that you want to change the icons of folders in the files shows all programs menu.

    You can change the icons of folders which are displayed in the file Explorer, but these changes will not be reflected in the access to the start menu.

    However, you can use some 3rd 3rd party apps that can help you to do the same.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Cannot access Internet and all programs on the start menu. How to get rid of a virus on windows xp

    I was recently given a hand computer (compaq I tthink) so I'm not clear about all the fancy stuff to the extent of the ect CPU... but I know it has windows xp pro. in any case, a friend used my computer and for some reason any felt the need to download a program called 7-zip. Now, my computer is screwed... In the start menu > all programs, everything has disappeared! And I can access the system restore in normal boot and safe mode, but the window remains empty, we never really gave me the opportunity to use it. Oh and I can't get online in normal or safe boot mod either, what can I do?

    Original title: how to get rid of a virus on windows xp proremove a virus from windows xp pro

    Hello

    1. Why do you think that the computer is infected with the virus? See you pop - unwanted ups or odd behavior of all programs?

    2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

    3. did you run any online scanners to remove infections?

    4. What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    Method 1: Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

    www.Microsoft.com/Security/Scanner

    Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

    Method 2: Safe mode with networking

     

    Step 1: Check if you can browse the Internet with success in Mode safe mode with networking.

    Networking Mode safe mode starts Windows in mode safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

     

    Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    Step 1: Follow the steps in the link below to do the same thing:

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as shown here:

    Step 2: To configure Windows to use a Normal startup state

    After you have used the boot is a way to solve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

    1. Click Start and then click Run.
    2. Type msconfig and click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
    3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    Method 3:

    Create a new user account and verify if you are able to access the program in the start menu.

    Try to connect with a different user has administrator rights account and then create a new user account.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not see Desktop Manager in my list of all programs on the start menu

    I just installed the Blackberry Desktop Manager for Blackberry 7100i Nextel (version 4.1.0.376).

    It does not appear under all programs on my Winxp start menu.    It seemed to install correctly, but it just doesn't appear in the start menu.    I removed it by following the instructions (requiring the removal of certain registry entries and files and more using Add/Remove programs in the control panel).

    I reinstalled the program and it will not always be displayed on the start menu.    I can run a couple of .exe files and run it manually, but I don't get the full program.

    I am the administrator of my pc Windows XP Professional.

    Any ideas on what could be the problem?

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Yes, that would do makes a difference. For reference, the best procedure must first install the full package of DTM (what version you need for your PIM version if you plan to synchronize via attached USB/BT), then, at the top of the DTM installed, your bundle of BONES of carriers (which modifies DTM so that it can provide you with options that apply to you).

    You can edit your previous post - but it's actually better not unless there is a real error needing correction. It is good to leave the wire in place just in case someone in the future should have a similar situation... so that they can find your description and solution and I hope to find their response without the need to post a new thread.

    Oh yes, once you are sure that it is resolved, please don't forget to mark the thread as solved.

    Best!

  • Cleaning of all programs on the start menu

    I'm going from XP to 7. In the start menu > all programs listing all downloaded programs is listed. Under XP I could go to "documents and settings", create folders and put the files listed in all programs into separate folders. It resulted in very few files containing the downloaded files. For example, I got the files listed as 'Business', 'Security', 'Internet' etc. How to do this in 7 so that my ALL PROGRAMS list is first files and downloaded programs. I hope I have made myself clear...  Thank you
