• In Windows 7, after the application of SP1, I can no longer access my phone book from the start menu or use the search function.

  I just applied SP1.  Until I applied this update that everything worked as I expected.

  Since then, whenever I type anything in the search on the start menu, there is no result.  The only exception to this is that if I type in a full path, for example "C:\Program Files\", how I get a list of files in that directory.  If I type in everything that is not a path, as for example the letter p or the word 'paint', told me that "no element not corresponding to your research."

  If I click 'more results', I get an error with a big red x box.  The legend is "search query: = paint", for example if I searched for painting.  The text is "Windows cannot find ': search query = painting '.»  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "I wasn't expecting this error box, but rather a window with a list of search results.

  I have downloaded and run the troubleshooter of research - Mats_Run.search.exe.  It tells me that no errors have been detected and gave me the option to reset the search.  I did this, then waited a whole day to search for re - index, but the results are the same.
  In addition, after reading a few other questions on the microsoft Web site, I've done different things which seem to as they should not work - I have turned me folder, active random registry settings options, etc..  Indeed, none of these things had an impact or shows something unusual.
  Also, I can access is no longer my home directory from the start menu.  If I click on my user name that appears in the upper right corner of the menu start, the start menu closes and nothing happens.
  There are a few other circumstances where I can't reach my directory.  For example, if I have an Explorer pointed toward a library, say "Downloads", if I click on my user name in the breadcrumb path, he will remain in the directory downloads instead of going to my home folder, as I expect.  Also, if I click on my user name in the Favorites list in the left pane of the Explorer, I would expect the Explorer window to access my home folder.  Instead, he remains in the folder where he currently resides.
  As I said earlier, before applying the update it worked as expected.
  Thanks a lot for your time!

• Start menu up: How do I remove programs from the Start Menu

  Please tell us how can I remove programs from the Start Menu.  In other words, I seem to have many programs starting to run, when I start my PC.

  Thank you

  Try this program to change the start:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

  What did you do last before this happened?

  It looks like someone may have maliciously tampered with your computer.

  Take a look in your trash and see what you can find.

  If they are not there, try to download and run this program:

  He'll pick up things that have been deleted from the Recycle Bin.

  Be forewarned, it will probably work for a long time.

• Programs Windows missing from the Start Menu

  All my Windows programs have disappeared from the start menu.  I was playing with the option hidden files on some of my shirts.  I followed the suggestions of another post on changing the property of my programs to uncheck hidden and which did not help.  Any suggestions?

  Restore point:

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

• How to remove an item from the start menu in Windows 7?

  I tried to install a game written for an earlier version of Windows.  It did not work, but when I uninstalled the program, he left an icon in my Start menu.  I can't find a way to delete the item in my Start menu.

  If I click on the link, I get a message that says that this is not a valid Win32 application.

  If I right click on the link, I get options:
  Play
  Run as administrator
  More games from Microsoft
  Support
  PIN to the taskbar
  PIN to Start Menu
  Sort by name

  I miss the opportunity, we usually need to change the Menu start manually!

  I did all that, although I had to 'Show hidden files' in two different places, but the guarded program reappear, even after that I deleted everything that I could find that had "Lemmings" in there.  I had installed the program on the D drive and I could delete it, but the next time I saw the Start Menu, it would put a file on drive D named Lemmings Revolution.exe (with no data in this document, 0 bytes).

  I tried the support link from Microsoft and the thought that should work, but alas, I didn't have the product code to enter the FixIt program when asked.

  I finally took a huge risk Open regedit and then sought to any occurrence of the word "Lemmings".  I deleted everything in the registry that referenced "Lemmings", then returned to the D drive (in the command prompt) and deleted the above programme, after that I restarted my computer.

  So far, it seems to have solved the problem...

  (I knew after you remove some of the registry keys, one of the contained key code product I could entered the FixIt program, but by then I had already made changes.)

  Thanks to everyone who tried to help me!
