Case of the missing/missing shortcuts

Lorien Hey! (or anyone else who wants to take a slap at this)

I jumped on here to see if you could suggest a fix for a problem I have. After Windows 7 upgrade failure I returned to my previous Vista Ultimate installation through the method of recovery Windows.old. What is missing is shortcuts in the start menu. Well, Miss not so much because they just don't ' function. Some do it. Most don't. And when I do fresh installs of standard legal Microsoft Office 2010 applications, the right words are in the Microsoft Office folder, but the icons are blank pages and clicking on them leads nowhere. I fully described this in a TechNet forum but after some initial answers I missed someone out there for two weeks or more. Being an MCSE etc. I'm sure that you can access this topic.

I'll copy my OP here and if you do not see where this thread is gone and derailed, then I'll copy the other posts on your advice, or if you don't mind.

THE OP:

On 14 July, I tried upgrading my system Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Ultimate. The Windows 7 upgrade bombed horribly after it chewed by 379 GB of disk space, which ends with a fatal error and the abandonment of the facility while trying to write the data Windows.old.

To try to recover my Vista installation, I was able to boot from a WinPE cd and renamed Windows Win 7 (3 GB) and then renamed Windows.old (two parts of them 10 gb and the other who has been moved to another partition of 286 gb - merged) for Windows. I know that this will cause a proverbial plethora of problems. But it had TO be done because I rely on this system to work. I have 8 TB of data and programs, saved through Carbonite (about 300gigs) game. All this RAID1. But of course, when Win 7 watered the plant, he watered it who was on the mirrors too.

The BIGGEST problem I have right now is the 'loss' of my Start Menu Programs and their shortcuts. I did the typical 'rebuild your icon cache!' and other general suggestions for this "problem" (which I need a tissue). All to nothing does not.

Where there were once viable shortcuts, there are now icons of the white page next to the names of programs. When you right-click one of these old shortcuts, the shortcut tab is completely absent from the property page. I post a picture of what my Start menu current looks but I do not see an ability to download here. Try this link instead:http://fastpc911.com/wherermyshortcuts.jpg

My question is this: given that Win 7 wiped all THE restore points, I can't do a system restore. When I right click on one of these shortcuts to nowhere, and then select open folder nothing happens. I don't know how to repair these shortcuts. Y at - it a utility that will fix these for me? Would an inplace upgrade/repair of Vista restore them? Or I'll have to manually re-create all of the 14 000 .lnks on my system?

Curious minds want to know...

Another post:

WONDERFUL!

Just finished the new clean install Office Pro plus 2010.   Peachy. Apart from the fact do not work the dang shortcuts!

Check it out: http://fastpc911.com/newinstallbadshortcuts.jpg

To simplify this problem, let's just try and solve the last thing happened, which I completely remove Office 2007 and install Office 2010 and after that, the icons/shortcuts that have been put in my menu Start Menu/All programs are broken pages to nowhere, and tab shortcuts is to go in the properties... once again. This is the problem that we have to fix.

My last post in this thread was:

What is the song or crickets I hear? Feel abandoned here. 12 days without response.

Some additional data... Since the last post, I made new times-first installations of Visio 2010 and Project 2010 to go with my newly installed Office 2010 Pro. And guess what? The icons are blank pages and the shortcuts are not shortcuts. See the photo below.

http://fastpc911.com/visioprojectbroken2.jpg

I think that to resolve this a tiny issue will open the door to the rest of what has been discussed here. How can I get my icons Visio and Project 2010 newly installed work?

Anyone?

  • The case of the missing Image

    Go to this link: http://fyiboerne.info/wcid.html

    This is a very simple HTML page that shows two things: a "< BACK" link, which is visible and working properly, and a jpg image (file name: wcid #2.jpg) that is not visible.

    I would like to know what is happening here.

    The html page and the image of solitaire are in place on the remote server; However, when I test the page on my test server happens to be blank as it does from the browser online. I tried the popups, a download of a pdf version of .jpg... IT IS ALWAYS EMPTY. Also, I did the whole site and it replace... dumped the html file and completely rebuilt it... tried to open the pdf file and the jpg file in Photoshop and Acrobat, where image is always upward. In Photoshop, I crushed the layers.

    The image appears in Dreamweaver, but fails to present themselves in an overview (using Firefox and Safari) and fails to present themselves on the Internet.

    I've included the source code for this link in case anyone can see a problem. The first source code appears on the page links to the page in question. The second source code is the code of the page with the missing image.

  • The case of the missing Defender.

    After having had my PC fixed upward, I can't run even to find a defender of widows.  While he is listed in the Security Center, when you click on I have a 0x800106b error and tells me to ask for help or restart the computer. What causes Defender to run or appear. I went to 'services. MSC' and the defender was absent. Microsoft.com, questioned by downloading Defender, offers up to Malicious Software Removal Tool, instead.
    I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit, SP2 IE 9 or Mozilla.

    You shouldn't worry about this.

    Download these files of register 3 or 4 (4 with Windows Defender), or those you need in the Public folder to

     
     
    Find Regedit in c:\windows, right click and choose run as administrator, then the menu file , and then importand import the various reg files.
     
    To configure and start the Security Center, Windows Firewall and Windows Defender
     
    Then click on Start - All Programs - Accessories - right click on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy the lines below and a blank line under and right click in the command prompt window and select Paste). This will start the dependent services in the correct order. Then activate it once started.

  • Dissolve the missing effect controllers

    When I use the Ctrl + D shortcut add a dissolution is missing the controllers to the effect that I'm used to seeing. Normally, when I add a fade, you can specify the alignment (Center cut, begin to cut, put an end to the Cup), and the duration and there two panels in the window of A and B to represent each side of the cut and the transition. However, it is not the case for this transition, please see the image below to illustrate.

    That's right: it is according to the design now (and I don't)

    The only advantage is that you can make the cross dissolves preset.

  • Restoring iTunes + Song of the missing links

    I moved my iTunes from one PC to the other folder. The entire folder. On the new PC, after you install iTunes, I pressed shift and clicked on the icon to choose the correct iTunes library file.  Everything is listed, however, about 2 500 songs are not related.  I have to double-click on each song and re-pointer to the location of the appropriate folder.  It's 2 500 more 10 000.  Of course, if it's an album, once I found the first song, he will ask me to find the rest.  But it's album by album.  Always takes me hours to restore everything.

    It happened the last time I tried this, years ago.  I was hoping that Apple would have improved the import feature.  Why random songs that are not related?  What can I do to prevent it happening again?

    Second, is there a quick fix to sweep and relink all the songs of reverie?  Or do I still sit there and manually connect 2 500 songs?

    Thank you.

    See make a library of portable split to the bottom. With your library in the correct form, it can be moved without any problem.

    The "missing file" error occurs if the file is no longer where iTunes is expected to find. Causes possible is that you or a third-party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parents, or the reader, records it feeds has been a change in the letter of the drive or you have moved a non-portable library to a different path (see make a split cell library for more details). It is also possible that iTunes has changed from waiting for the files in the presentation of pre-iTunes 9 post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice versa, and so looking for a bit in the wrong place.

    Select a track with an exclamation point, use Ctrl - I to get the information, and then click No when asked to try to locate the track. Look under the file tab for the location that iTunes thinks that the file should be. Now look around your hard drive. I hope you can locate the track in question. If a part of your library has just been moved, renamed a folder or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse actions. If the difference between the two railroads is an additional music directory in a path, then it is a problem of layout. I can explain more if this is the case. If everything is where it is supposed to be trying to fix the security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

    In some cases, iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info, but this time, click on search and browse the lost track. He peut then offers to try to automatically correct the other broken links. Although he said something like 'use the same location' I think he expects to find titles in the same provision, artist / album, they were previously, with a systematic change to the path.

    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed files, or the library was moved from OS X to Windows, then chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies it will be difficult to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is pregnant. In this case, as long as the missing files somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script for reconnecting to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

    If you want me to try to provide specific advice, please post back the following details:

    1. The location of the media file under Edit > Preferences > advanced
    2. The location of a sample of missing follow indicated under Get Info > file > location which begins file://localhost/
    3. The real path to the file which you gave 2 details.

    Hello

    With my Blackberry Curve if I miss a call he's going in the call log; However, the next day, all the missed calls from the previous day are deleted.  I checked and it is not a memory problem.  Is it possible to record missed calls, so that they are not automatically removed?

    No, your call log will always show the last 20 calls.

  • Is there an easy way to find all the missing smart objects in your PS document?

    I have a file which is quite large with many layers and I can't seem to find the missing linked smart object. I usually just get Red? Select this option. But I looked and don't see that anywhere, but always get the message "could not document X.psd package, because it is missing a file linked smart object.»
    In InDesign at least we could see a list of all the links and just click it to redo the link. I was wondering if there was something escapes me? If this isn't the case, PLEASE add this feature. It's really one of the biggest mistakes when kind of forcing the users to use the cloud objects from the library.

  • The Application of the missing unit menu

    I have a Windows 7 64 - bit 8 workstation running the host (version 8.0.2 build-591240) with a 32-bit openSUSE Guest 12.1 using KDE.  I'm under VMware Tools for Linux v 8.8.2, build 590212.  When you attempt to start the unit, I get one of two results - either the unit will not start, or it starts but the application menu is empty.

    I read the same thread "unity Applications Menu missing" (wire 331064) and following the instructions there-"Power down VM, exit Workstation. Open the folder containing your VM and delete the file caches. "Power of virtual machine, enter the unit and see if the menus if necessary (less than 15 s) appear.  As I have indicated, if the unit starts after that, the menu is empty.

    I checked the directory caches and starting the unit (with no menus), the launchMenu file is essentially empty (a few stray symbols) and there is no appData directory.  When the unit does not start, the file launchMenu contains lots of menu entries and the files in appData.

    I checked vmware-xdg-detect-of returns of KDE.

    I also tried a VM with a 64-bit openSUSE Guest 12.1 also in 32 and 64-bit hosts running XFCE (in the case where the problem was with KDE) with the same results.

    I have provided the vmusr.log as well as the vmware log file.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hi, Felipe,.

    So, you want multiple copies of a few lines. In other words, if a value or rnk (RANK is not a column name right) is missing in a given id you want to with the next highest rnk and the same id line repeated 2 or maybe even several times. All copies will be identical, except that rnk will have the missing numbers, and the value will be 0 on all additional copies.

    A way to do that is to join your table (or something very similar to it, as in the example below) to a Meter of Table , which is a table (or a result set, in this example) counts 1, 2, 3,... up to however many copies may be required.

    WITH     got_rows_needed          AS
    (
         SELECT     id, date_ini, value, rnk
         ,     rnk - LAG (rnk, 1, 0) OVER ( PARTITION BY  id
                                                ORDER BY          rnk
                                )         AS rows_needed
         FROM    taba
    )
    ,     cntr               AS
    (
         SELECT     LEVEL - 1     AS n
         FROM     (
                   SELECT     MAX (rows_needed)     AS max_rows_needed
                   FROM     got_rows_needed
              )
         CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= max_rows_needed
    )
    SELECT    r.id
    ,       r.date_ini
    ,       CASE
              WHEN  c.n  = 0
              THEN  r.value
              ELSE  0
             END               AS value
    ,       r.rnk - c.n          AS rnk
    FROM       got_rows_needed  r
    JOIN       cntr             c     ON  c.n  < r.rows_needed
    ORDER BY  id
    ,            rnk
    ;
    

    By elsewhere, store date information in a VARCHAR2 column, such as date_ini, is a very bad idea. Use a DATE column.

    RANK is a keyword from Oracle. (It is the name of a built-in function). If you specify your own columns of RANK, it will confuse people reading the code, and it can result in compiler errors, too.
    ID is also an Oracle keyword. To be sure, you can use another name, such as grp_id, instead of id.
    It is best not to name your own objects with any name of fArrondi in v$ reserrved_words.keyword.

  • Find the missing numbers

    I want to find the missing of a column that is alphanumeric numbers, its last five positions are digital. In the first three places there are different combinations of alphas that is * 'BA', 'BAW","SA","SAA"... * If alphas are two then 3rd position is empty. I also need to generalize this to cover all digital series existing alpha.
    SELECT SUBSTR (a.claim_no, 4, 5) + 1
      FROM core_business.cb_pensioner a
     WHERE SUBSTR (a.claim_no, 1, 3) = 'BA '
       AND NOT EXISTS (
                     SELECT NULL
                       FROM core_business.cb_pensioner b
                      WHERE to_number(SUBSTR (b.claim_no, 4, 5)) =  to_number(SUBSTR (a.claim_no, 4, 5)) + 1) 
       order by SUBSTR (a.claim_no, 4, 5);
    I get the error ORA-01722

    You have two problems with this task.

    1 problem is how to convert a number from the back so that you can compare the values.

    to_number(SUBSTR (b.claim_no, 4, 5)) 
    

    works, but only if the b.claim_no value is always a number regardless of the other criteria of the column.

    Such an assertion

    ...
    WHERE SUBSTR (a.claim_no, 1, 3) = 'BA ' /* filter 1 */
    and to_number(SUBSTR (b.claim_no, 4, 5)) > 1 /* filter 2 */
    ...
    

    may fail because your table can have value as

    b.claimno = "XYZ1234b".

    The way you wrote the query of the database will decide what filter criteria, it first runs. It could be filter1, but could also be filter2. If filter2 is executed first, you will get the error message.

    Problem 2 how to order and compare different lines, so that you can find the missing values.

    Here the analytical function of the LEAD (LAG) is very useful. It gives you access to the next (or previous row).

    Both problems can be overcome.

    Here is my test, but I don't know if it works in your case. You may have to adapt a little.
    This should work if all lines are digital which belong to specific groups. If you have too much data incorrect in there, then a different approach is necessary.

    with testdata as (select 'XYZ1234b' claim_no from dual union all
                select 'BA 12345' claim_no from dual union all
                select 'BA 12346' claim_no from dual union all
                select 'BA 12350' claim_no from dual union all
                select 'BAW11111' claim_no from dual union all
                select 'BAW11113' claim_no from dual union all
                select 'XYZ1234b' claim_no from dual )
    /* end of test data creation */
    select claim_no, substr(claim_no, 1,3) part1, substr(claim_no, 4) part2,
           to_number(substr(claim_no, 4)) current_num,
           lead(to_number(substr(claim_no, 4))) over (partition by substr(claim_no, 1,3) order by to_number(substr(claim_no, 4))) next_num,
           lead(to_number(substr(claim_no, 4))) over (partition by substr(claim_no, 1,3) order by to_number(substr(claim_no, 4)))
            - 1 - to_number(substr(claim_no, 4))
            as "missing_values"
    from testdata
    where substr(claim_no, 1,3) in ('BAW','BA ')
    order by claim_no;
    
    CLAIM_NO PAR PART2 CURRENT_NUM   NEXT_NUM missing_values
    -------- --- ----- ----------- ---------- --------------
    BA 12345 BA  12345       12345      12346              0
    BA 12346 BA  12346       12346      12350              3
    BA 12350 BA  12350       12350
    BAW11111 BAW 11111       11111      11113              1
    BAW11113 BAW 11113       11113
    

    1 problem is solved because where condition is always executed before the function in the select clause, in particular in the context of an analytic function.
    Problem 2 is also solved by using the analytical function, function LEAD. And it's fast, because you access the same table only once. Another solution could be a subquery to extract the value of the next line. This means that multiple access to the same table and is usually much slower.
