• Why won't one of the picture of the user displayed in the Start Menu?

  On our old Netbook, there are 2 users. I am the administrator and my wife is a regular user. I have two of our photos in our profiles and our user accounts. Whenever I start, my picture is at the top of the start menu as it should. When my wife connects and starts, there is no picture in the start menu. I checked three times. All the settings on the two users are the same. Her image appears everywhere else it is supposed to, such as the log on screen, etc. What can I do to get it to show? A clue for you can be its start menu is much greater than mine. By that, I mean it takes more space, has more characters and icons. I checked all the settings too. They are all the same. Thanks in advance.

• How to do a pdf link is to be displayed in the Start Menu

  I need to build and install to LV10 to put a project on a target computer.  I want the exe appears on the tab all programs.  Not too hard, but I want also to the list of some documentation under the exe files so that the user can just as easily pull up the instructions or similar here.  I don't seem to find anyway to do it directly in the installation program.

  Never mind.  I suffered from cranial rectumitus.  You just go to the section shortcuts.

• Post-it Note, Snipping Tool, Sound Recorder etc missing from the Start Menu

  Some integrated programs have suddenly disappeared in the folder 'Accessories' in the Start Menu, including sticky notes, Snipping Tool, Sound Recorder, and record Tablet PC Tools was empty too and maybe even more than programs that I do not know. (I don't know why this happened, the only reason why I can think of is maybe I fell a development of my antivirus program).

  I looked online for solutions, I tried:

  -Option unchecking and rechecked the "Tablet PC Tools' of the 'Turn Windows has or not', which bought only the programs in the Tablet PC Tools in the Start Menu folder, but not the Post-it Notes and other

  -Restore to an earlier point, but did not work

  -Enter sfc/scannow in the command prompt but it has said is that Windows has no problems of integrity or something after scanning and solves nothing

  The programs are always there, I found 3 of them in C:/Windows/System32 as exe files and they work from there, but they just will not be displayed in the Start Menu or when I do a search. I don't know what else is missing. Is it possible to bring them back in the start menu? Would be fixed it with a factory reset? - but I don't really want to do a factory reset, unless I am out of options.

  Help would be much appreciated!

  A factory reset would, but that's certainly an exaggeration just to restore shortcuts.

  A colleague MVP of my friends has released a download of all the default shortcuts in Windows 7 and has instructions on how to retrieve it here:

• BlackBerry smartphones can not see Desktop Manager in my list of all programs on the start menu

  I just installed the Blackberry Desktop Manager for Blackberry 7100i Nextel (version 4.1.0.376).

  It does not appear under all programs on my Winxp start menu.    It seemed to install correctly, but it just doesn't appear in the start menu.    I removed it by following the instructions (requiring the removal of certain registry entries and files and more using Add/Remove programs in the control panel).

  I reinstalled the program and it will not always be displayed on the start menu.    I can run a couple of .exe files and run it manually, but I don't get the full program.

  I am the administrator of my pc Windows XP Professional.

  Any ideas on what could be the problem?

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Yes, that would do makes a difference. For reference, the best procedure must first install the full package of DTM (what version you need for your PIM version if you plan to synchronize via attached USB/BT), then, at the top of the DTM installed, your bundle of BONES of carriers (which modifies DTM so that it can provide you with options that apply to you).

  You can edit your previous post - but it's actually better not unless there is a real error needing correction. It is good to leave the wire in place just in case someone in the future should have a similar situation... so that they can find your description and solution and I hope to find their response without the need to post a new thread.

  Oh yes, once you are sure that it is resolved, please don't forget to mark the thread as solved.

• Impossible to display the items in the start menu

  Home Premium SP2, IE8. Dell laptop.

  I must have tried mistakenly and unknowingly add an element in the Menu start (one on the right).
  Now, if I click on the Start button, I have a message saying that some elements of the Start Menu may not be displayed, and that I should change to a higher resolution.
  Here I am on the highest resolution 1280 x 800 pixels
  Color is set to 32-bit.
  Screen refresh rate is set to 60 Hertz.

  System Restore is out of the question that I had made a diskcleanup and deleted all the points except the one under restoration.
  I can't figure out what I wanted to add to the Start Menu.
  Anyway to find out?

  t-4-2

  I almost checked everything and I do not get this message (but I'm at 1920 x 1200 pixels).  The thing is, you have probably really all these elements if account required to limiting the size, you'll just need to identify the items you really need/want and uncheck the others until the message disappears.  Most of these items can be added as shortcuts to the office or the menu all programs for options is a click on Show desktop and clicking on the option instead of a click on start and click on the option (even two clicks so be it - more if you put the shortcuts in all programs rather than on the desktop).  If you are having problems, create the appropriate shortcuts, just post back exactly what are the options that you want as shortcuts and we will see if we can help you (if you still need that).

  As much as what option you want to add, I have no idea and no way of knowing.  You must include only what you actually use frequently.  Don't forget, there are other ways to do all these options, even if they are not in the Start Menu, you can still get where you want to go (just may take a little longer).

  The only other choice is to upgrade your video card so that it supports a higher resolution (assuming one is available that is compatible with the rest of your computer and its devices - in particular, the monitor and motherboard - and also compatible with your version of Vista).  But this seems a high price to pay just to be able to see a few buttons in the Start Menu.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• How to get all the programs in the Start Menu is displayed as a cascading menu

  Is there a legitimate way to get the menu all programs in the Windows 7 Start Menu to display a menu cascading (WinXP style)?

  I've seen many references to various malicious programs to download from the internet who hack into the start menu to provide this functionality, but I'm not interested in executing random programs from the internet.

  If there is no legitimate way to do this in Windows 7 right now, is it possible to add this in the future Microsoft? The current implementation of menu "scroll of the trees" is really annoying. :-(

  Hi Ghaz78

  There is unfortunately no way to do this without using a replacement of the third party.

  One of the most popular workarounds must simply turn on the Quick Launch bar. You can put the toolbar QL next to the Start Menu and then copy the folder of programs (all programs) on this toolbar that will give you the cascading effect.

  See the post below for the steps to add the QL toolbar.

  Bar to complete tasks

  Once this done, go to Start, then right-click all programs , and then selectopen all users. This will take you to the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program . This is the location where the shortcuts that appear in all the user accounts, theall programs folder.

  Copy this folder in: C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

  Go toStart, all programs right click and select Open. This will take you to the
  Record of C:\Users\your start\program name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start.
  This is the folder where shortcuts that appear only in the all programs to your specific user account folder is located.

  Copy this folder in:C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

  Quite.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• Windows 7 Excel and Word 2010 jump lists appear only not on the Start Menu

  Hello

  I would like to apologize if this is in the wrong section... I got here by looking at another thread, which ultimately does not solve my problem. I read the same solutions on dozens of different threads and not one has done something to help, so I thought I'd try to ask once again, indicating that I have tried and see if anyone has any other ideas!
  ... I also like to apologize if "jump list" is the wrong term. I mean, it is when I click on my Start Menu, and "Microsoft Word/Excel 2010" icon is the small arrow on the side right does not allow me to click everywhere for what files I recently consulted on Word. I have exactly the same problem in Excel 2010, but No problem at all for Powerpoint 2010 and it seems that programs such as Notepad and so forth are very well as well.
  What I did:
  1. right click on 'Taskbar', click 'Properties', select the "Start Menu" tab, under "Privacy", I checked the boxes ("Store and display recently opened programs in the start menu" and "Store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar").
  Make a right-click on 'Taskbar'-> properties-> select Menu-> customize-> items recent fact make it appear a list but less it is tab and not attached to the application (which is what I want to xD).
  My original problem was that the list of recent items for Word has not been updated and it was stuck on what he was about 3 months - which eventually prove needless after I lived my computer and deleted, renamed and moved a bunch of word documents! Unchecking the boxes got rid of the arrow completely, and when I checked hide them he refused to reappear for Word and Excel.
  2. I was at '% AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations' all files deleted from here and restarted my computer - ' 1b4dd67f29cb1962.automaticDestinations - ms' seem to be for the word, and I think that ' 3d961d1bb3da929c.automaticDestinations - ms' are to Excel. I have them I deleted, I moved it out of the folder, I renamed them, I sang for them, etc. etc. and every time it did not work.
  This seems to be a really popular solution that works for most of the time everybody... it does not work for me!
  I've also been to '% ' AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations and deleted everything from there.
  3. I checked that related to open different file extensions in Excel and Word programs are associated with Excel and Word. Everything seems to be strong in that Department.
  I use Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and fight with versions of Word and Excel 2010!
  Then... I don't think anyone has any other ideas?
  Thank you in advance!

  I emptied two recent used folders but did not work.   Then I fixed my office installation to add/remove programs in the control panel and that did the trick.  I have office 2007 and 2010 installed, but make sure that I only use 2010.  Will probably uninstall 2007.

• Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account, how can I stop this?

  Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account. I find it tiresome and very secure as anyone who uses my computer can read my emails.  I guess my computer is somehow related to my Windows Live account. I did a search for these emails in my Hotmail account and they don't even exist.

  How can I go to stop this? I tried to look in the Windows Live options but couldn't find anything. Thank you

  These files are probably within your e-mail program on your computer (for example, Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or another program).

  You can turn off the messages to appear in the search results, but anyone could still just open your e-mail program and snooping.  The only way to be really sure is to use a password on your computer and let other people use a guest account (or make their own account).

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.

• JumpLists disabled; 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is greyed out

  My option 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is grayed out. Are also grayed out any mention of "jumplists" system (i.e. the number of items to display in the jumplists). Have I inadvertently disabled this feature? If so, how can I return it?

  Hi, landonblaine:

  When the option store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar is disabled and grayed out, it is a symptom that two Windows fonts are applied to your system.

  Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsMenu value set to 1, delete it. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsHistory value set to 1, remove it as well.

  Repeat the same steps in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key (it cannot exist).

  Restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience
