disappear all my programs and contribute to their shortcut on XP?

Say hi to all my programs appear and their icons, so what to do to restore

It could be a corrupted profile.  If so, try the following article:

"How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >

It is almost always accompanied by a damaged drive.  So after making the above (or as an alternative to the above), perform a disk check with the ' / f ' or ' / r ' option.

"How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

Fair warning: control of disk can take hours and cannot be interrupted.  This operation when you won't need your machine for awhile.  In addition, there is a small chance that your drive can be found in worse than before the disk check, to ensure that your backups are first updated.

  • C6280 all-in-One is not recognized by my computer. Uninstalled all HP programs and reinstalled drive

    My C6280 all-in-One printer worked flawlessly for several years now.  Tonight (after work well throughout the day) when I tried to scan a document to make a .pdf file, I clicked on my desktop for the HP printer icon and nothing happened.  The computer was no connection to the printer.  I restarted the computer (it is Windows XP) and still no connection.  Check all the cables connected physically.  Printer disconnected from the computer and the power source for a minute then don't... always reconnected no connection.  So I uninstalled all HP programs and reinstalled the drive to see if that would fix the problem, but it has no effect.  Don't know what to do from here.

    Well, it was a road of circuatis, but I was finally able to get uninstalled everything and re-installed correctly and I am now able to connect to the printer directly from the computer with the icon on the desktop.  Thanks for your help.  PHEW!

  • Why all my programs and files open with Microsoft word?

    All my programs and files open with Microsoft Word and I need to know how to change that?

    I've seen that happen before when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After Word selection using the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file, the Word document referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Word, as it should.

    The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to be opened by Word. This is known as a file association. . The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely.

    This has happened enough that a small utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is a registry hack to do this, but I recommend the utility unLNK for its ease of use.

    I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on by SkyDrive own here.

    Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

    Hi all

    I have installed W7-company-German. After having changed jobs & employer, I received a copy of W7-professional-English.

    How can I install the new version AND keep my data, programs, configs?

    The installation process indicates that an upgrade from English into German is not possible, I have to do a custom where installation all my data (and programs) will be lost. Of course, I have backups, but re - install all programs will take ages...

    Any help?

    Unfortunately, this option is not possible. You will need to do a custom install using your Windows 7 Professional CD and recover your data from the Windows.old folder:

    Another option if you don't mind not continue working in German is the following:

    Of course, you will need to use the German media Windows 7 Professional for this task:

  • I highlighted a Word and anchored to my screen (in addition to all the programs and office). How can I remove it? (Win 7, SP1)

    I worked in an email client (Outlook, not) and has highlighted a Word. I accidentally dragged and anchored somehow on my screen. He now appears on top of all my programs and on the desktop, and I can't find a way to remove it. I tried to look at the records office various users, Windows, Program Data, but cannot find anything. I changed the desktop wallpaper and screen saver, and it's still there. I tried to refresh the screen, and it's still there, floating like the smile of the Cheshire Cat. Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Thank you very much for your answer. Fortunately, I have not try your suggestions.

    I decided to take a break last night and play an old program in DOS, using DOSBox. This somehow erased from the screen, because the offending excerpt went.

  • I am unable to find all the programs and features in win7 as I want to uninstall yahoo messenger

    I am unable to find all the programs and features in win7 as I want to uninstall yahoo messenger

    That's what Yahoo have to say - http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?y=PROD_ACCT&page=content&id=SLN408&actp=lorax&locale=en_US

    If the control panel is set to display the categories - programs - programs and features

    If the control panel is set to display the icon - programs and features.

    Yahoo Messenger should be in this list.

    If you say programs and features isn't in the Panel or Yahoo Messenger is installed, but not in the list, then something else is wrong.

    Try in "search programs and files" type "programs and features" (without the quotes). In the results list, you should see "programs and features" near or at the top of the list, click it.

    If Yahoo messenger is installed and will not uninstall, see the above link to the bottom of his page.
