Changes start unexplained

We have Windows Vista Home Premium and after have logged you on the computer seems to have been reset as if the computer was new.  The desktop wallpaper has changed, saved the desktop icons (for example, our documents) were missing, as well as other programs registered.  We immediately close the computer and later when we restarted it - everything was back to our settings. (Our custom paper painted office as well as all the saved documents & programs.) Can you explain what happened and why?

Hello

  • Home page keeps changing start.search

    This morning my homepage in FF and IE are passed to start.search.us.com. I managed to uninstall start.search (use Revo Uninstaller; it does not appear in Control Panel of configuration/programs). I was able to change my home page in Internet Explorer to what I want and it seems to "stick". But whenever I restart FF home page I had previously put switches back to start.us. I can find no evidence of start.search in Add-ons, Extensions etc. I think I know where it came from - I clicked a little too fast on some free software and spotted the search thing too late. I saw some extremely complicated explanations and recommendations for this problem in FF somewhere with a lot of comments that the substance was indecipherable and didn't work anyway. Any suggestions? I saw a suggestion that uninstall FF and then put it back can be remedied. T it? If so I can do it quite easily - save my favorites and the relocation of the single add-on I've used for months.

    In addition, if the problem persists, you can try to start the Task Manager (right click on the task bar) > process > Show processes from all users. You can then search online suspicious Image name and try to uninstall the external program from Windows behind the suspicious name via the start menu or Windows Control Panel > programs and features, or at least changes of settings in the external Windows program.

  • Change 'Start Up' of the elements in the System Configuration utility

    I tried to remove some the startup items in order to speed up my computer. When I run msconfig and I select "Start" and then check the items to delete, after I selected "Apply" I get a message that basically said... "Access error was returned. You may need to log on as an Adminitrator s changes. As far as I know, I am an administrator as ever, I added all the extra accounts and I always connect under the default account titled original HP administrator.

    In addition, what are the elements are indeed necessary on this menu? Some of them I know but there is a number, I have no idea.

    MSConfig has been designed to be a troubleshooting tool, not a "Start Configurator".  Use MSConfig to determine the location of the command who tries to start the program, and then remove it.  To stop the selective startup notifications, either return your settings to the way they were, or permanently remove unwanted programs from your startup configuration.

    In most cases, with 'good manners' applications, it is usually as simple as opening the unwanted program and deselect the "Show icon in the system tray" option or "launch at Windows startup.

    In addition, look in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu Menu\Programs\Start Up and C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Menu Menu\Programs\Start files and in the system registry, mainly in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key.

    How to change programs when you start the computer to the top

    How to change programs when you start the computer to the top

    First of all, note that you should be concerned all the programs
    starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
    Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
    Status bar.

    On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
    Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
    Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
    Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
    work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
    Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

    However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
    the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
    You should be concerned, not with the way that a lot of these programs
    you run, but who. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
    others have no effect on performance.

    Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
    is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
    the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
    Internet search and ask questions about the details here.

    Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
    decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

  • Change start shortcuts after capture app thin does not?

    Hello

    Apologies if this is simply obvious - we are trialing thinapp and a new vmware to work environment.

    With packing thin app, I find if I modify the thin app screenshots (which are currently distributed in virtual machines), in particular the location of the short cut of startmenu, for example, I create a subfolder and move the shortcut in there and rebuild the capture, the change is not reflected on the virtual machine.

    I'm I missed something that needs to be done?

    I can place the shortcuts in the correct subfolders before proceeding with the installation of post capture, the problem is that this means that whenever we want to shunt shortcuts around we need to capture any again.

    Thank you very much

    Sukh

    Hi Val,

    Are you try to move the shortcuts ThinApp start menu for a directory as on the start menu?

    I suggest to make the changes in the package.ini. Go to point under section file and look for "shortcuts program = % ' and change it to something like"shortcuts=%Programs%\SUBFOLDER ".

    After the reconstruction by running the build.bat file, be sure to register the ThinApp you run the package.

  • I have a circle of variable width, trying to figure out how to change start / end variation of thickness

    Hi all

    I was wondering how I do and still be able to change the starting point / end point thickness?

    illustrator_line_width.JPG

    In this screenshot, I try to get the starting point (point more thin) a little thicker.

    Can I change these profiles of variable width or? Any other / better ways to do it?

    Any help would be great

    Use the width. {SHIFT - W}

    Click the border, and then drag in or out to adjust the width. Drag the center point of the new width to place on a different, if necessary. Pressing DELETE will remove the new adjustment.

  • Cannot change Start Page in the browser based AIRHelp (TCS3)

    I changed the Start Page of a project of AIRHelp (from index.html), but despite the new html page being launched (as shown in the browser), aid still shows the default original page. Any ideas anyone?

    Mark

    The start page is what pulls the top of the window to three components. By default, it is called index.htm, you can change this in the page layout.

    The default theme is the subject that appears in the window of three components. You can change the heading that appears, by default, that you should not have a topic called index.htm because it would cause confusion.

  • [JS] [CS3] Change "start Peg numbering to: '"

    Hello

    I have a big problem on many InDesign books with approx. 158 files. In fact I cut about 400 pages InDesign files in 158 files with 2 or 4 pages each, but when I cut my reference document, it has been configured with "Start Page numbering at: ' the value '1 '.

    Now I have 158 files with this option ("' start paging to:" the value "1". "), my question is possible thanks to a script to change all the files of the book with the option"Automatic Page numbering"is selected, as it is"continue from previous Document in the book.

    With such a script, I'll save a lot of time on this operation and I'm not motivated to make this file by file.

    Thank you

    Here you are. Work on CS.

    if (app.books.length != 1)
    {
      alert ("Slow Reader Alert!\nI can only work on one book at a time.");
      exit(0);
    }
    for (doc=0; doc
    

    It is really simple. Line by line:

    1. You can have zero or more of an open book. For simplicity, this script works on a single open book.
    2. Huh. Reinforcement group.
    3. Well. Speaks for itself.
    4. Everything done, bye.
    5. .. another reinforcement of group. It is going slower than I thought.
    6. Ah! A book contains a "BookContent" array of type objects, who holds the file name, creation date and the State (that is, if the document needs to be updated). Its length is the number of documents in the book, one per file.
    7. .. reinforcement of group...
    8. (snore) oh, sorry. "Open this document" Yes.
    9. All the documents have at least a section; the first is hardcoded to start on the first page. Since this is Javascript, it's the #0 section. The "continueNumbering" is just a Boolean, yes or no: "If it is true, continue page numbers in the order in the previous section."
    10. Close, except when this is necessary. It simply means that if the document not changed (because the numbering was allright), it be not registered, as well as in the user interface.
    11. Finally, the final closing brace.
    12. That's all.
    13. Really.

  • changed start menu

    The close button is gone in my menu start all of a sudden... I use windows 7... How can I get that back? Thank you

    Hello

    The best way to solve this problem would be to run the Windows system restore.  If you have Norton Internet Security installed, you should disable Norton Tamper Protection as described in step 2, on the link below - in the case otherwise just go directly to the procedure below.

    http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20091112171719EN&LN=en_US

    Once you are done, turn off the PC.  Windows system restore is usaully better run in Mode without failure.  Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  When it has loaded, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 24 hours prior to the issuance and then proceed to the restoration.  When you are finished, Windows will restart normally.

    Kind regards
