Connection remote desktop has appeared in my Start menu, but I don't use it, does that mean someone else has had access?

I sat down at my computer today (I'm the only person who uses it) and pulled the top of the start menu. There were four programs listed there that I have not used for several months:

Remote Desktop connection
Dreamweaver MX
Freehand MX
MS Office Picture Manager

In my opinion, that means that someone had access to my system.

Can I change my remote desktop connection to protect against this, or is a more complete analysis of my machine required?

The remote desktop connection settings include providing everyone the read and Read & Execute access. If I remove these options that will make me safer? Skype uses this access (this is the only thing that could, I think I use)?

I went to system properties and remote access disabled.

  • Why Visual Studio Cross Tools cmd keep appearing in my Start menu, although I do not use it?

    I use guest a lot, because I find it faster than the Solution Explorer.  I do not use any shortcut to launch this. I use the Run dialog box.  I also have Visual Studio, and there the command prompt "cross tools."  He annoyingly keeps appearing in my Start menu, and I don't use it. The name of the exe for this command prompt is not yet 'cmd', the letters I type in run to start the regular command prompt.  I don't remember the running process.  Why does he appear here?  There is really nothing to do with Studio, so I think that it shouldn't go in the Visual Studio forums.

  • After the installation of Windows Virtual PC on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit system it does not appear in the start menu. How can I fix this so that I can run Windows XP in Windows Virtual PC?

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit running on an Intel i7 2600 system with an ASUS P8P67 motherboard.  Intel virtualualization has been enabled in the bios.  Windows XP mode has been installed on the system and the operating system has been updated with Service Pack 1.  Windows Virtual PC has been downloaded and installed, but does not appear in the start menu in the programs list. Now download for Windows Virtual PC will not allow to install another, nor that the first installation can be uninstalled because it is not on the list of programs. Virtual PC folder of Windows in the Program Files x 86 folder has only a folder with two files integration components; IntegrationCompnents.iso and Precompact.iso.

    It should be in the menu... Virtual PC / XP Mode or something. I don't know, I don't use win7 atm

  • Connection remote desktop has stopped working

    I'm used to be able to connect via the desktop remotely from my computer Windows 7 on my Windows XP computer. Both machines have been recently updated (Windows updates) and now remote desktop doesn't work anymore.

    After that the two machines reboot their updates, I tried to connect to the Windows XP computer.  I got a dialog box on my Windows 7 machine (which was never released before) titled "Windows security" and asks me to enter my credentials. It shows my username (which is displayed correctly), and give me the ability to use another account.  There is also a small box downstairs that allows him to "remember my credentials".  As I said, I've never seen this front window.
    When I put my password it comes up with another dialog box that reads 'fixing remote connection', where he stops, then fails stating that "the connection attempt has failed."
    I checked on the remote computer (XP), that he will accept Remote Desktop connections.  I checked my username and password I use are correct.
    I went back to my machine windows 7 and tried to use remote desktop.  This time, I never had the Windows 7 dialog box (one titled "Windows security") it displays the Windows XP login screen (which is what it normally does).  I was able to connect properly.
    Now, today, I tried to use the desktop remotely again, but again got this dialog "Windows security" Windows 7 once again and the same problem everywhere.  I can't connect to the XP machine more.
    Any idea what's going on?

  • Remote Desktop has stopped working

    All of a sudden I can't RD my server (under Win 7 Pro).
    I can access all the drives shared without problem but Remote Desktop behaves as if she's not here.
    The server presents itself under the management of network and homegroup.
    I looked and remote desktop has been enabled on the System/Remote Server settings dialog box.
    When I delete the credentials and try to connect - remote desktop is not even asking me my PW.

    As the saying goes - It was working fine a few days ago and I wouldn't change a thing.

  • Why a shortcut for Microsoft Update doesn't appear in the start menu as it always has in previous installations?

    In this latest new installation of Windows XP Pro when I upgraded from Windows Update, Microsoft Update no item does appear in the start menu in previous installations? Can I remove Microsoft Update and then reinstall it? Can I manually install the shortcut? I'm comfortable editing the registry.

    Off topic, I know, but you can work some magic for another problem. When I boot, when half of the icons appear in the notification area, I get a message that Windows Firewall is disabled. After the last icons appear, the message disappears and the firewall turns on again. It's annoying, and I'd love to [repair]. Thank you.

    Assuming that the message "the Windows Firewall is disabled" comes from the Security Center (Windows), looks like you see what we call a "race condition". Essentially, Security Center is loading before the Windows Firewall was fully charged (may be due to the amount of NAV system resources then uses what he loads and runs his own control over the firewall).

    Until the warning goes away in a few minutes, don't worry, you see a normal behavior (for Windows XP).

    Hello

    The message appear when you run Trend Micro Internet Security Pro?

    I suggest that you follow these methods and see if they help.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    This could be the result of a virus. I wish you put your computer into safe mode and run a scan and check if that helps.

    Step 2:

    In normal mode, Uninstall and reinstall software Trend Micro Internet Security and check if the problem persists.

    Note:
    Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable/uninstall your antivirus software. If you must temporarily uninstall to solve a problem, you must reinstall as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is uninstalled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Step 3:

    Perform disk defragmentation and check if the problem persists.
