• Opening of the "Documents" on the start menu

  When I select 'documents' on the right side of the start menu and then click twice on the doc to open it, I get an error message that the requested doc not be found.  However, if I open the MS Office application (Word or Excel) and then go to open the document, there is no problem.  How can I fix the problem of not being able to open the start menu?  This device worked well for a long time, but the end does not work correctly.

  Right-click on the Documents icon and check the path on the general tab.  Does say "C:\Users\?  Otherwise, click on the location tab and type the appropriate path and click OK, and then see if the process works.

  You can also open Documents by clicking on the Start Menu on your name and user then scroll on the left side to the Documents and then clicking on it to open it on the right side.  If you do so, the same problem occurs with the impossibility of finding the requested document?  It doesn't work anywhere in Windows Explorer, but works in real-world applications?  Have you tried other types of files outside the Office (as a PDF)?  The same problem occur?

  If this is the case, it looks like there may be something wrong with the Windows Explorer.

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  Make a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929135?p=1 and see if the problem persists.  Otherwise, follow the procedures in the article to find the program/process causing the problem and either remove or uninstall.  Don't forget to put your system in normal condition when done as explained in the article.

  Boot mode safe (repeatedly clicking the F8 key during the boot process until the menu appears) and see if the problem exists in this mode.  Please post back and let us know that this information is important to track the cause (regardless of the outcome).

  Your user profile may be corrupted.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered. If that doesn't work, then let's try to check your hard disk for corruption and system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to start at the next startup.  Okay, then restart so that the program can run. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  If it doesn't (or if SFC detects corruption it cannot repair), we you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope this helps.  Please post back and let us know in all cases (and if the problem persists - try to include the answers to the question asked above).  If you have any questions as you go along, feel free to post back.

  Good luck!

• can not clear 'my recent documents' drop files on the start menu

  Can't erase my files in the 'My recent documents' from the drop down on the start menu

  You didn't say what you tried to do (you did not also what version of Windows you have, including service pack level).

  Assuming you have some variety of Windows XP, the usual procedure is to right-click on the Start button, select Properties, click the Start Menu tab, click the Customize button, then finally click 'Clear list' or if you use the XP Menu, click the Advanced tab, then click on "Clear list."

• How to get removed from the start menu programs?

  Hello

  I stupidly deleted my file of all programs on the start menu (by chance).
  He emptied the folder programs on the start menu through Explorer windows as well.

  I still have access to all of my programs seeking for them or through the program files. How can I rebuild my Start menu to the original WITHOUT reinstalling windows or something like that.

  Unfortunately, I can't do a restore because it is configured to do a clean up of all old restore points, and he did it about 5 minutes before the problem occurred.

  PLEASE HELP ME!

• Automatic scrolling of the list of favorites on the start menu to stop before you reach the bottom

  I open the start menu, point the mouse on the Favorites bar and keep the cursor under the small arrow pointing down at the bottom of the list of favorites, as well as the list of bookmarks automatically scrolls down. But after scroll down a number of bookmarks, automatic scrolling stops before reaching the bottom of the list of favorites, view the rest of the empty list. I removed a lot of unnecessary bookmarks in the Favorites folder in Documents and Settings, but this does not resolve the issue. I would like suggestions for this problem, which I have not come across so far. I ran CHKDSK disk cleanup and defragged the volume of disk hard, but in vain. I have Windows XP Pro SP 3 with IE8 installed on my computer.

• Cannot access anything in the Start Menu.

  Original title: problems with Start Menu...

  Can Hi anyone help here please... I can access is more things in my Start menu, Control Panel, My Documents. My photos, my computer etc, etc, all died in the start menu. Whenever I click to open these things I just continue to get an error report, I scanned for virus etc but the sweep came clean... Thank you... Jon T.

  Oh heck - here's what I'd do:

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and XP stops threatening program.  XP should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft to sort display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' since they are not Microsoft extensions.

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.

  You can Google something like:

  Explorer XP crashing

  You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, and then restart and try again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!
