• How can I recover windows files on the start menu as "Accessories" after the fake recovery tool?

  My pc has been infected recently with the fake windows recovery tool. I don't know how to recover the files/folders in the start menu and the desktop that were there before.

  It seems to remove the shortcuts in the start program, so a show systemic does not help.  Or it does solve the problem of the "NoDesktop" under political Explorer setting, which prevents the user access to the desktop (see  ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938265.aspx).  I had to deal with a computer with these questions last week. I'm not sure it's the same virus (it was a fakesysdef one), but some things can not easily be corrected.  My experience was that I had to set up the shortcuts to start again, as they were not hidden, but they seem to just disappeared.

• Post-it Note, Snipping Tool, Sound Recorder etc missing from the Start Menu

  Some integrated programs have suddenly disappeared in the folder 'Accessories' in the Start Menu, including sticky notes, Snipping Tool, Sound Recorder, and record Tablet PC Tools was empty too and maybe even more than programs that I do not know. (I don't know why this happened, the only reason why I can think of is maybe I fell a development of my antivirus program).

  I looked online for solutions, I tried:

  -Option unchecking and rechecked the "Tablet PC Tools' of the 'Turn Windows has or not', which bought only the programs in the Tablet PC Tools in the Start Menu folder, but not the Post-it Notes and other

  -Restore to an earlier point, but did not work

  -Enter sfc/scannow in the command prompt but it has said is that Windows has no problems of integrity or something after scanning and solves nothing

  The programs are always there, I found 3 of them in C:/Windows/System32 as exe files and they work from there, but they just will not be displayed in the Start Menu or when I do a search. I don't know what else is missing. Is it possible to bring them back in the start menu? Would be fixed it with a factory reset? - but I don't really want to do a factory reset, unless I am out of options.

  Help would be much appreciated!

  A factory reset would, but that's certainly an exaggeration just to restore shortcuts.

  A colleague MVP of my friends has released a download of all the default shortcuts in Windows 7 and has instructions on how to retrieve it here:

• Where can I find the program files on the start menu?

  Where can I find the program files that appeared when I clicked on the Start button in older versions of Windows?

  I would definitely recommend getting the update: it solves a lot of problems and significantly accelerates things.  But if you haven't yet done so, the option "All Apps" is nestled in a toolbar.  You can right click on an empty area of your home page to display the toolbar.

• Empty the program file on the start menu

  The program in my Start menu file is completely empty. I have no idea where the files that were there disappeared. I see a lot of them when I open the C"" drive. How to make their return in the program file?

  Hi RosemarySoltis,

  Check to see if you can locate your program under C:\Documents and Settings\ files\Start Menu\Programs.

• Copy of the Batch (.bat) file to the Start Menu for all users User/Each

  Created a lot on each machine (file1.bat) leader to create a queue (file2.bat) of lot for a launch of a page to start windows.

  This is the content of file1.bat:

  off @echo

  @echo > C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\file2.bat «»
  @echo start http://www.MSN.com/ > C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\file2.bat

  Expected result is to copy the file2.bat to the start of each user profile.  However, the file2.bat is not copied to the Startup Windows 7, 8, 10 folder after the test.

  However, it will work in file1.bat:

  off @echo

  @echo>"C:\Testing\file2.bat
  @echo start http://www.MSN.com/ > C:\Testing\file2.bat

  I have not the network joins a domain.  I need to send the file1.bat to all staff.  I intend to deploy to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

  Thanks in advance to all.  Any help is appreciated.

  To run a command as Administrator file, you must click on it & select run as administrator.  Despite being connected with an Admin-level account, individual actions like yours needs as the run as Admin permission.  This is the way Windows works.

  

  You cannot add anything in a batch file to run as an administrator.

  You will see the system's responses to your batch file by adding a last line containing just the word break [test]

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  "File2.bat is to launch a web page which start machine"-Yes, I understand that. ""  But using a batch file to do this isn't better than just sending them the URL shortcut to the Web page instead.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  "Wish only to send the file1.bat for users" - you must give them instructions to run as admin.  Since the instructions are necessary in all cases, then you might as well keep it simple by sending them a shortcut in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder and url of msn [shortcut].  In your email, you can tell them to use the first shortcut [Startup folder] to get to the good copy of place and then * the second [msn url] in there, giving approval to the Admin when / if * it is called for.

  Some target computers may have lower security settings [settings "UAC"] meaning permission Admin is not necessary, but since you do not know that in advance, you will have to warn that it may be necessary.

  If there are multiple users on each computer only one of them has to do this on each machine.  You must choose a user who is either an Admin user who knows the password for this computer.  If you ask each individual user to do this, then only the first will be something to see; others may follow your instructions, but they will see that it has already been done and he can stop then.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  It is difficult to tell many users on many different computers to do something.  Some will ignore your instructions & do nothing.  Some will try to comply, but will make mistakes.  Some will do what you want.  You won't know the results even if you ask them to email you back to let you know.

  I can click on the programs of 'Adobe Acrobat Pro XI' and he realizes perfectly. However, if I click on a file (download, e-mail, etc.) it comes up with the screen of trial. All of the suggestions.
