How can I restore my taskbar and start menu?

somehow, my bar of tasks and start menu are not displayed on my desktop. How can I restore them?

Hello

You are ale to perform pressing F11 to exit full-screen.  If it is not there yet, here is a link that should help get a resolution.

-Create a replacement user account to check if the problem is still involved.

    The taskbar is resizable, like a window, and it can be set to zero
    lines of ups. Maybe that's your problem, and fixing must be the
    first thing you should try. You may have accidentally resized to
    zero lines of ups. Place the cursor on the bottom of the screen and pass
    it upward and down slightly until it turns into a two-headed arrow.
    Click on, and then drag it to the desired size.

    If this does not work, it may be zero lines high on another facet of the
    the screen, try the above on all four sides.

    Finally, if none of those working, go to

  • Taskbar and Start menu keeps disappearing

    My taskbar and Start Menu keeps disappearing and I cannot get it back. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Original title: taskbar problem

    Thanks for the suggestions... I used method 1 and 2. Method 1 does not work and the method 2 worked until it got to the point when it asked me to insert my installation CD... I don't not. This computer did not come with a CD. Installation info are on a D drive. How do you it?

    • Select the Customize Windows from Start Tune-Up Center
    • Click options preferences and behaviors
    • In the left pane, select system under Administration
    • In the right pane, select special folders tab controller
    • Select "Windows configuration files" in the "Special feature" column in the list, then click on 'change '.
    • Find the folder and click OK when finished
    • Click OK again to save the settings
    [2] method: Using Windows Registry Editor to configure the SourcePath value

    • On the start menu, select "Run."... »
    • Insert: regedit.exe
    • In the left pane, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft Computer\ My
      \Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
    • In the right pane, double-click the value SourcePath "' which is a string value
    • Insert the desired location, and then click OK to save the settings

    If one of the system icons is out, you can reactivate the as follows:

    Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties. This will bring up the tab "properties of menu taskbar and start. It's where you mentioned, it is gray. It is very well...  From there, you can click on Customize button in the icon section. Look for the icon that you are missing, and check the status. The type of report should read "Hide icon and notifications", change that to "Show icon and notifications".

  • How can I hide some folders from start menu to certain groups of users on Windows 7?

    Our company has a record in our record system which Start Menu contains all the administrative and user management tools. Recently, we noticed that our other members of the staff (Standard users) can access this folder. It concerns us because the 'Administrators' folder contains Applications such as the command prompt and a shortcut to the center of disk management. Is there a way we can hide this folder in the Start Menu? Our employees are organized in groups that correspond to their service, in order to hide the folder from several groups of users would be helpful.

    Thank you

    Chris

    Do not put in the folder all USERS with access to... (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu) and put only in the user profiles you want (C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu)

    Without other warranty in place, your users can simply press the LOGO WINDOWS + R and type CMD or diskmgmt.msc to do the same thing for the security of the solution of darkness here will help prevent tripping over.  Google is his friend for such things.  ;-)

  • How can I add a program to "Start menu" (MSCONFIG)?

    I went to "MSCONFIG" and a program that must be there to work properly, is not there. I don't see a way to add a program.

    I went to services.msc. The program is listed as STARTED and under Startup, it says AUTOMATIC.

    So, how to do it in "MSCONFIG" in Start menu?

    go to C: / menu search start, then wait a folder icon pop up, waiting to make or copy a shortcut for the program and then when you see the startup folder on the menu open it then programs (in a folder) and start, then paste the shortcut

    In Windows XP... Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is the default
    Viewer for images.

    However... If you prefer WIndows Paint... try the following steps.

    Make a right-click the thumbnail or file of any photo of the same name
    format of your e-mail message. I'm guessing that .jpg.

    In the Menu... Choose... Properties / General tab / change button...
    In the list... Select (highlight) paint / OK / apply / OK.

  • Taskbar and Start Menu customization errors

    I turned on my computer today, and my taskbar has been replaced with the classic windows style.  I tried to go back to windows vista style and I received this error message.  "The Visual styles could not be applied."  When I chose the option of windows vista Basic, the preview screen was black and it displays this message when I tried to apply and change.  He also did the same for the option of windows aero.

    I tried to get into the command prompt and running a scan (sfc/scannow).  I restarted my computer 3 or 4 times, including after completing the scan.  How can I fix this so that I can choose the option of windows vista basic?

    Hello

    Try to manually start the service responsible for the aero feature.

    Follow these steps:
    a. Click Start and type cmd in the start search box.
    b. right-click on command prompt and select "Run as Administrator".
    Type the following command and press ENTER:
    net start uxsms

  • Windows 7 taskbar and start menu large icons are either missing (empty by default) or do not show the right program.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium on an AMD Athlon (TM) II X 4 630 2.80 GHz with 6.0 GB of RAM (64 bit OS). PC is up-to-date with the latest updates and use Norton Anti Virus.

    I used this PC for several months with no problems. After doing some research in my menu of the taskbar Windows Explorer and start icons have become corrupted. The links always work but do not show the right program.

    I tried several things to fix this. I removed everything in the start menu and taskbar, rebooted, added a few back but the problem still exists. I deleted the icon cache file (renamed to db.old), restarted, problem still exist. I made a recovery of a checkpoint system before the problem was still not fixed. When I go to small icons, the problem disappears. The problem only seems to appear when you use large icons in the bar of tasks and the start menu.

    Based on what I've tried so far is there any other suggestions on how to fix this?

    This tutorial is to rebuild the icon cache when the cache is corrupt.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html

  • How can I preserve the history of Start Menu run?

    In Windows XP SP3, the list of recently used commands via "Start/run" is somehow erased every day and I would have preferred to select a command, that I recently used instead of having to retype.

    Thanks Jim. I tried to make sure that no programs are compensation history and I'm not clear manually. RegMon is a free download? I don't know how to create .reg files. Regarding adding these commands to my quick launch or in a folder on the root of the Start Menu, I see that as something that I probably could do.

  • How can I restore my tabs and windows, open or closed, when all else fails?

    It's not so much a question, an answer that some people desperately need.

    Since the Version 34, Firefox has done a superb job to restore the tabs created by the user, application or restart Firefox (if this option is chosen).

    The details of how to restore the tabs are covered using base online and even Firefox how to deal with several accidents now (for example, as an addon) ruin the normal backup file are also well explained.

    However, today I accidentally pressed Alt + F4 twice on my keyboard ill-conceived and closed my main window, with 93 tabs and another window of Firefox as well. I'm not sure that's exactly what happened, but I lost all my tabs 93.

    I read a lot of posts where people give suggestions, but none worked. Whenever I've restored a sessionstore.js file version saw the same lonely empty tab Restoring prefs.js did nothing, and not more than to changes in internal configuration constants.

    I tried refreshing / reset Firefox (which preserves the bookmarks), but I couldn't always restore the tabs. It was now clear that the problem was in sessionstore.js (and all its backups) for sure.

    I write for people who must restore their windows or tabs and don't mind be technical on this subject. This is my situation.

    The solution was to realize that the sessionstore.js file contains the JSON code, which is an effective way to represent integers and strings arranged in a tree structure.

    I thought that there must be a JSON Editor somewhere and it turns out there is a great available online, at www.jsoneditoronline.org . It can read a file on your computer, edit it, then save it to your computer.

    As soon as I read sessionstore.js in the editor, it was obvious, easy how this was going to be. The top level of the tree is understandable. Simply, I grabbed the data representing the window with 93 tabs and dragged in the list of the closed windows of Firefox in the list of open windows. This automatically moved the history of each tab and even strings entered in forms.

    After copying sessionstore.js to Firefox profile, I started Firefox once more. Reading Pandora reported that my tabs were back and running once more.

    Now, change the JSON code isn't something that everyone is ready for. And your problem may not be reflected in the JSON tree so simply. But, for the technical spirit of people who do not want to lose their tabs or windows to a mistake or an accident, this technique may be just what it takes when all else fails.

    This seems very practical. Make itself comfortable. A kind of backup would be
    Create a folder in the Bookmarks Manager and make a list of links here.

    Just a note. The sessionstore file shows the last windows / tabs that
    are open. Because the window with 90 tabs has been closed in the first place, then the
    other, that's what caused the problem.

    Please change the title of the post by adding == solved == to it. Others may think
    you ask for help, not offering is not a solution.
