  attrib-h "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db.
  del "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db.

• Missing files to user in Start menu - > all programs

  I recently found a folder "Programs" in my "All programs" folder in my Start menu. This folder contained essentially all my custom folders as well as the default folders and icons to the start menu. Because I thought it was a duplicate, I decided to remove it and then realized what he deleted all files recently opened and all my custom folders (apps, games, programming etc.).

  I still all files windows vista Home premium and icons, but nothing else. I searched the Internet and tried all of the suggestions that I could find (check the registry, restoring files, searching for missing files, ensuring that the Program Files folders are not hidden from program data/Menu start) and nothing seems to have solved the problem. Is there a way I can back my folder structure for programs on the start menu? I checked the system restore, but I have not activated. Unfortunately, I did this in the middle of the tent to free as much space as possible so I deleted shadow copies of my drive, as well as everything in the trash.

  Is there any chance of the folder structure is always on the PC but just inaccessible? I'd rather spend on it from this angle instead of having to reinstall all applications in order to hand over the files of shortcut in the Start Menu-> all programs.

  Here is the procedure; http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/79571-start-menu-shortcuts.html.  Do this for all users.  Note that this will only restore the shortcuts.  If the programs themselves have been deleted, they will have to be resettled.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck.

• Program icons missing on the Vista Start Menu, all programs there, but the icons are hidden

  I use a PC running Vista 32.

  When you click on the start icon (circle of windows) I see a lot of white space (where the icons should be) then at the bottom it says all programs with an arrow. When I click on this all programs with arrow icons appear, but I normally click here to see the show. Do not know what happened...
  Appreciate any help.
  I should mention I tried to go to properties to customize the start menu and clicked on default settings, but it does not work.
  Thank you.

• Start in > all programs displays of empty program files

  Hi - I hope someone can help me. I searched and found others who have had the same problem but no one has released a fix to work for her.

  I got a virus last week that hid all the icons on my desktop and in my Start menu in my C: drive. I deleted the virus and was able to restore my desktop icons, drive C: and Menu master boot successfully, but I still have a problem. When I click on "All programs", my program files appear, but they are all empty. Programs are always installed, but for some reason, they do not appear when I click on the folder in the start menu > all programs. I can't do a restore system - the virus deleted my restore points as well. Is there a way I can rebuild my Start menu without having to do a reinstall full? I tried to create a new user profile, but the problem exists in the new profile as well.

  I can run programs if I type in the correct .exe file in the search at the bottom of my Start menu bar (for example, iexplore.exe), but if I just type the name of the program, search does not find it. When I click on start > all programs, it seems normal at first, but if I click on a folder (such as Microsoft Office), it just says: (empty) under the name of the folder.

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I checked that there is no virus on my computer by running MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware in safe mode, run the Avira rescue disk.

  Folder options are checked to show hidden files and folders, so that's not all.

  Thank you!

  If you place the cursor over the menu start all the entry of programs then right click & select open and then again to select open all users, shortcuts appear in the files that open upwards [i.e. just are we discussing their appearance in the menu programs all]?

  If the shortcuts are here [I'm just a little hesitant about the meaning of what you have written before], then you might just get away with running the System File Checker.

  I always agree with well Dissed - that the virus could hide here all the time since the last attack.  If all goes well, there is a good guide to the procedures for removal of malicious software by SpiritX in How to remove spyware from the computer , it will prevent a determine of this infection.

  Good luck with this annoying problem.

• Lost start menu shortcuts/program after you perform a restore of the system under windows 7

  I did a restore of the system to an earlier time, today and for some reason any now my shortcuts on the start menu and programs have disappeared. I tried to reset the default settings in the properties and clicking on and and unclicking show open but recent programs that made my start empty set menu. Go to an another system restore does not resolve this problem. As far as I know everything works but I can't search for certain things in the start menu.

  I could really use help on getting things to what they were.
  Thank you
  Chris

  OK I fixed the problem. It seems that the system restore point, I tried was automatic when windows update tried to install something. Something to do with this restoration has been listening on the start menu. I restored before this restore point and my menu start came back to normal :)

• 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!

• Could someone please help me access My VLC Player on my list of 'all programs '?

  Hello

  I was on the wrong forum, so I'm starting a new thread. I have a laptop HP, Windows 7 Home, 64 bit. I use VLC player and WMP for different purposes.

  For some reason any I don't have easy access to my program VLC. It is not on my list of 'all programs '. I went to start, and search and the program wouldn't come to the top. The only two places I can find it listed on my Uninstall list and default programs. I can't right click anywhere to get a drop down menu to work with. What should do?

  Anne

  And yet a third wire.

  1: remove VLC completely from the list 'uninstall '.

  2: restart your PC.

  3: go here and download VLC. Choose Save as and save it in your download folder. Do not race. http://www.videolan.org/VLC/index.html

  4: close all other programs and turn off your security system and then find VLC in the downloads folder and install it.

  5: look at all the options. Especially to add desktop and Start Menu icons.

  6: restart.

  You can go to Device Manager and remove the wireless network adapter.  Then go to the website for the manufacturer of PC and download the downloaded current drivers.  Then restart your PC, and after that he finds the card even once use the new drivers with it and see if that helps.

• Cannot open Word or PowerPoint in an e-mail message

  I bought RegServe and Driver Robot and now I can open is no longer attachments in an e-mail message. I run Vista 32-bit.

  What do you expect, you have installed two applications allmost gueranteed to destroy your system.
  Pilots are obtained from your site if OEMs like Dell / HP or a laptop or a generic PC from various hardware manufacturers sites.
  Unless a driver update is required to provide greater functionality, or cure a bug to know, leave them alone. If it isn't broken don't fix.
  Do NOT use winupdate for drivers not more.
  In what concerns the 'cleaners' If you don't know how to clean manually and is rarely necessary, you don't leave things alone.
  Like it uninstall these useless, destructive programs and run a repair using your office CD Office

• Cannot access the calendar from Windows Vista Home Premium all of a sudden... get error message indicating it is disabled... Help, please!

  After 1 year with the help of Windows Calendar on Vista Home Premium, I'm suddenly not able to use it (impossible to add new appointments and stored all appointments have mysteriously disappeared). I get a message saying "You cannot add appointments to a calendar that is disabled" the details of State "access denied." ... How is - it happened 'out of nowhere '? How to activate it? It's very frustrating... I searched the forums and Microsoft google the question. I found some results suggesting to either change the registry or download the fix automatically and manually merge in my registry. I tried both with no result. I have event tried to remove the old calendar and create a new one... still nothing. Any suggestions? Help, please!

  Hello NYintelligentinvestor,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  Sorry, you have a problem with that.  What type of entry you are trying to add?

  Look at the calendar and on the left side, to half way down you will see a small block that will have something like "NYintelligentivnestor schedule" - there is a small block to the left of this one. To activate the calendar, click on the box to place a check mark in it.

  If there are calendar shown in this block, then go to "file" on the main toolbar and click on "new calendar" - one should then appears in a block with a check mark in the box on the left.

  I hope this helps. Please let us know status.  Thank you! Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
