How can I find 'All programs' on Windows 8?
Hi there, I just bought a laptop Windows 8 and am struggling with the difference between W7 and W8. When I right click at the start menu displays "Programs and features", but when I click I get only the uninstall a program option. I can't open Canon Utilities (for my printer) because the control panel is not on my desk because it is on my W7 laptop, and I can't find the function of all programs. Canon is in my Apps screen but when I click on it, even though my printer is registered, it has no option to do anything. I would appreciate any advice - thank you.
I think you're mixing all programs on the start menu with programs in Control Panel.
In fact, both Windows 7 and 8 have the same list of "Programs and features" (the Uninstall list), it's just that Windows 8 is the first to give you a direct shortcut to get there.
Let me put it this way: Windows 8 always has the same organization "Start Menu", it's just bigger (full screen) now. Windows 7 would show your frequent programs first, and then the Catalog under the arrow to "all programs." Well actually, Windows 8 does the same thing: just great icons.
When you access all programs (7, left) or applications (8, right), you will get a list of all your installed programs. Windows 7 puts in a small list, Windows 8 displays the list full-screen.
Tip: in all versions of Windows, you can press on +R to open the run, run the command shell: program to explore your Start menu like a normal folder.

Usually the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) automatically monitors Windows programs and services. You can increase your protection by having DEP monitor all programs.
For the program being stopped by DEP, you will receive an error message indicating the cause of the stop and the name of the program.

Roxio Easy Media Creator 7: How can I get this program in Windows Vista?
I recently got a new computer, how can I get this program in Windows Vista.
Since you are not the original poster - and this thread is since September 2009, almost a year ago - I don't know anything about your computer or its issues. If you do not have the same problem as the OP and try to install an older version of Roxio Easy Media Creator in Vista, then the answer is the same for you: buy a current version program that will do what you want. Scanning is managed by your printer/scanner software. How manipulate recorded images is then up to you to do some image editing programs. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

How can I find the programs installed on the computer without my knowledge?
Original title: How can I find out what my ex-husband installed and changed on my laptop when he stole?
My ex-husband stole my laptop and I suspect that it has installed programs that have compromised my safety, accounts, logins and passwords, files, etc... I don't know what to do...
He changed the password to the administrator, re-installed Win7 & Vista on it there now. He refuses to do anything when he understood outside the deletion of all without making a backup. However, I have been coming on several files and programs that were downloaded and exported to Best Buy PC App that there a subscription paying with.If I don't take my question properly or write in the wrong forum, please inform me. :)Any feedback you can provide will be most appreciated!Thank you very much!NikkiNo matter how much you dig around it's going to be difficult to be sure that you have a completely clean install of Windows.
What OS was originally installed on the laptop. The COA below sticker should tell you and it was originally Vista but you had Windows 7, it is possible that he tried it back to Vista to recover 7 license.
You can see the list of programs and features in Control Panel to see what is currently installed. However, the only way to be sure would be really to save the files, you must maintain and run the process of recovery if possible. Most of the PCs/laptops have a recovery partition which will reload the disc to factory specifications with the right sequence of keys at startup. Each manufacturer has a different way of doing the recovery mode, but if you Google the machine to followed by 'recovery' you will almost always get a help site to guide you through the process.

How can I find the schedule of Windows XP?
My main PC under Windows XP is defective and I had to go back to my old PC, under XP. I can't now find the calendar I used all the time with my main PC. I don't know that he has come with the operating system. Can someone tell me how to select it.
Although Windows XP itself doesn't have a calendar, if you have Microsoft Office, which may include opportunities (depends on the version of Office) who doesn't have a calendar. So the questions to ask are:

- If so, which version (click Help > topic in any Office application)?
