• Pin a network to the start menu shortcut

  Everyone figured out how to pin a netwrok to the start menu shortcut?  I tried to do it the way they say it, right click and select PIN to start menu, but the option is not there for programs on the network.  I was able to find Documents and Settings/User/StartMenu and I dropped the military in there, but they are not yet appearing on the start menu.  Help, please.
  Thank you

  Create a folder on your desktop called networking programs or files, and then drag the icons for the files or programs in there.  You can then create a new toolbar by right-clicking on the taskbar, go to toolbars and add the new toolbar.  From there, all just point to your folder on your desktop and the appropriate files will appear in your taskbar tasks.  It's not pretty, but it works.

• Lost start menu shortcuts/program after you perform a restore of the system under windows 7

  I did a restore of the system to an earlier time, today and for some reason any now my shortcuts on the start menu and programs have disappeared. I tried to reset the default settings in the properties and clicking on and and unclicking show open but recent programs that made my start empty set menu. Go to an another system restore does not resolve this problem. As far as I know everything works but I can't search for certain things in the start menu.

  I could really use help on getting things to what they were.
  Thank you

  OK I fixed the problem. It seems that the system restore point, I tried was automatic when windows update tried to install something. Something to do with this restoration has been listening on the start menu. I restored before this restore point and my menu start came back to normal :)

• Missing Start Menu shortcuts

  During the installation of Workstation on Vista Ultimate x 64, without thinking I unchecked all THREE of the boxes for the options on where to place shortcuts (desktop, start all programs and quick launch bar). How can I get the shortcuts "All programs from the Start Menu" installed VMWare now?

  Things I've tried:

  • Change installation

  • Repair installation

  None of these present options shortcut again...

  I had rather not to do a uninstall & gt; Reinstall but it's the only way I'll do it.

  Thank you!

• Missing files to user in Start menu - > all programs

  I recently found a folder "Programs" in my "All programs" folder in my Start menu. This folder contained essentially all my custom folders as well as the default folders and icons to the start menu. Because I thought it was a duplicate, I decided to remove it and then realized what he deleted all files recently opened and all my custom folders (apps, games, programming etc.).

  I still all files windows vista Home premium and icons, but nothing else. I searched the Internet and tried all of the suggestions that I could find (check the registry, restoring files, searching for missing files, ensuring that the Program Files folders are not hidden from program data/Menu start) and nothing seems to have solved the problem. Is there a way I can back my folder structure for programs on the start menu? I checked the system restore, but I have not activated. Unfortunately, I did this in the middle of the tent to free as much space as possible so I deleted shadow copies of my drive, as well as everything in the trash.

  Is there any chance of the folder structure is always on the PC but just inaccessible? I'd rather spend on it from this angle instead of having to reinstall all applications in order to hand over the files of shortcut in the Start Menu-> all programs.

  Here is the procedure; http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/79571-start-menu-shortcuts.html.  Do this for all users.  Note that this will only restore the shortcuts.  If the programs themselves have been deleted, they will have to be resettled.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck.

• Windows start menu flashing, no pen pressure, closed issues.

  All of a sudden my cell phone starts with these symptoms:

  Currently open window flashes.  As... the title up there bar and the outside edge of the Flash. Sometimes the scroll bar will pop back up to the top when it flashes.

  Cannot browse folders in the Start Menu. If I go to all programs and you try to open a folder, the Start Menu closes.

  The laptop is closed. He's going through the motions, the screen goes black, but it is still on. :/ Seeing to power lights and it is still running and warm.

  What I might be able to live with, but the worst problem is that programs like Photoshop detect randomly and then lose the stylus for my Wacom tablet pressure every few seconds or more.  They will detect the movement and button relies on the pen, but not the pressure.

  Do not get any error messages.

  The only thing I've tried so far is uninstalling the Wacom driver and put it back. No change. Don't know what else to do. :/

• Two problems: 1: there is no Mozilla or Firefox folder in the start menu;. 2: when I said 4 FF to return by default, I had all the features of FF 3 instead. I reinstalled the browser, but that has not helped. Advice would be much appreciated.

  Two problems:

  1. when I said Firefox 4 to return to the default toolbar, he returned to v. 3. I reinstalled v. 4, but that did not help.

  2. I tried to open it in safe mode and discovered that there is no Mozilla or Firefox folder in my Start menu.

  I'm the home runnint Windows 7, 64-bit.

  1.
  
  The orange Firefox button appears when the menu bar is hidden. Turn off Bar Menu item in view > toolbars or from the context menu for toolbars.

  2.
  
  You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  
  Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
  
  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox to open it again.

• Determine the target of the shortcut in the Start Menu

  I have shortcuts to folders in my Start Menu.  They seem to be of two different types, judging by their icons, although I don't know what circumstances lead to one type over the other.

  The 'good' type have icons that look like a single file.  I can pull up to its properties, the image of a folder appears with a small arrow in the lower left corner and there is a target field showing the trajectory of the target.

  The 'bad' type have icons that look like a single file with a preview of the content.  I can pull up the properties, the picture shown is always a file with preview and there isn't * no. * Target field showing the trajectory of the target.

  For both types, if I go down the shortcuts, the path in the address bar is not the true path, it's a false path that looks like it branches in the Start Menu (where the shortcut is) i.e. c:\Documents and Settings\Ma.F\Start Menu\TheShortCutName.  Two shortcuts are in folders on a network drive.

  1. How can I get the path of the target for the 'wrong' type of shortcuts?
  2. Is it possible to have the address field display the actual path instead of making it look like the folder is located in the Start Menu?

  My mistake.  Records that have not shortened * resident in the Start Menu.  They contain simply other shortcuts or folders of shortcuts.  Answer to the question #1.

  So, if I go down the shortcuts, the actual path of the target * is * displayed in the address bar.  Who responds to question #2.

  It doesn't seem to be a way to cancel a thread in this forum.  I'm sorry that this erroneous thread drag.

• My link to Documents in the Start Menu folder is slow to load

  I use Windows XP SP3. When I click on the My Documents folder in my menu start, it takes 20 seconds for the windows Explorer window to load. If I use the shortcut on the desktop, it loads immediately.

  • My Documents is redirected to a network folder.
  • If I click on my drive that is mapped to that folder in my computer, it opens also immediately.
  • When I put the My Documents folder to its default location, it will open immediately.
  • All documents I opened the folder my documents, if I use the shortcut to get them or not, to take 10 seconds or more to open.
  • All records on shared drives network open immediately.
  • All documents, I opened those shared drive records however also take 10 seconds or longer to load.
  • All users of the network are working properly.

  Any suggestions?

  I ended up coming back and restore my computer to an earlier point in time and that fixed the issue. Thanks for your reply.

• Photos in the Start Menu is more pointing to the right folder

  I moved my folder on an external hard drive.
  The icon and all images are on this drive, but now the ability to achieve in my Start menu disappeared.
  In addition, under the Windows Explorer (do they call it that in Vista?) the icon is missing under my user name.
  You know... There is my computer, then my name of user, then under that is, Documents, music, photos, etc..
  Well, the image is missing.
  Thus, the properties of images in the Start Menu is empty.
  I have the icon in Windows Explorer with it to the external hard drive and even with the start menu.

  Manually move you the folder images on the external drive without leaving a copy of it to its original location?  If so, this is why he does not appear.  Bring it back to its original location (it should ask all of your shortcuts to reappear), then create a new folder on the external drive and name images.  Follow the steps below to change the location of your pictures folder.

  Click on the round to Start
  Photosdo a right-click and select properties of
  Go to the tab locations
  Click on the move button
  Add the path to the folder on the external hard drive in the folder box
  Click Select folder
  Click OK
  Click Yes
  
  This will move the photos that you have in the current images folder to the new location and change the destination of the pictures shortcuts.  Please let us know if you have any other questions.  Thank you. Shane

• Shortcuts in the desktop or the Start Menu has not created

  Hello

  We use vWorkspace 7.2. and AppPortal for access applications on 2003 TS in transparent window mode. All published applications are accessible from the thick client or VDI computers. When I assign an application to vWorkspace folder, the icon appears correctly in AppPortal. Problem starts when I attribute the same request to "Remote Desktop files", in this case no entries are created, nor to the desktop or the Start Menu or any other option. When I change AppPortal to work in integrated desktop mode all entries are properly created.

  There are already a ticket about this Quest (CaseID:887952) support. After many hours of phone calls from the Technical Department explained what I need is available only when all of the TS Office are published. I find it hard to believe that I did the same thing easily with other 3rd party broker connection software. What is your experience, do you have "Remote Desktop Folder" work without providing complete desktop TS?

  Best regards

  Adrian Tonina

  Adrian,

  AppPortal is designed to run on your client computer of the end user and is able to show the shortcuts in the user interface or on the desktop of the client operating in desktop integrate mode (DI).  When running in mode of DI, only applications that are designated for the integration of office will have shortcuts created on the client for desktop/menu start.  You can specify in the properties of a managed application, Desktop Integration step.  Note that only applications that are assigned to the Connector vWorkspace records will be created through AppPortal.

  Applications that are assigned to the Standard and customized remote office records are created through our configuration of the Shell (pnshell) module, and their shortcuts are created on the remote (TS or VDI) desktop computers.  If configured properly, you will see them on the entire desktop of the remote session.

• Arrange program shortcuts in the list of all programs on the start menu

  If I organize my program shortcuts on the list of all programs from the menu start when I reboot they are all changed back.

  As in, I move the "CyberLink PowerDVD 9" folder in the "Media" folder when I restart a new

  Folder "CyberLink PowerDVD 9" is placed on the list of all programs on the start menu.

  Now I have two folders "CyberLink PowerDVD 9" in all the programs one at the root of the list and the other in the folder 'Media' from the list.

  How to stop windows 7 to change the list of all programs on the start menu?

  Is it only occurs for the shortcut of CyberLink, or perhaps for each shortcut where you changed a location?

  You can check this: Start > right click on all programs > you can select Open and open to all users > you can check is not listed in the two location?

  Shortcuts usually appear at the previous location after a few updates to the specified application.
