• Cannot access Internet and all programs on the start menu. How to get rid of a virus on windows xp

  I was recently given a hand computer (compaq I tthink) so I'm not clear about all the fancy stuff to the extent of the ect CPU... but I know it has windows xp pro. in any case, a friend used my computer and for some reason any felt the need to download a program called 7-zip. Now, my computer is screwed... In the start menu > all programs, everything has disappeared! And I can access the system restore in normal boot and safe mode, but the window remains empty, we never really gave me the opportunity to use it. Oh and I can't get online in normal or safe boot mod either, what can I do?

  Original title: how to get rid of a virus on windows xp proremove a virus from windows xp pro

  Hello

  1. Why do you think that the computer is infected with the virus? See you pop - unwanted ups or odd behavior of all programs?

  2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

  3. did you run any online scanners to remove infections?

  4. What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

  Method 1: Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

  www.Microsoft.com/Security/Scanner

  Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.

  Method 2: Safe mode with networking

   

  Step 1: Check if you can browse the Internet with success in Mode safe mode with networking.

  Networking Mode safe mode starts Windows in mode safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.

  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

   

  Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  Step 1: Follow the steps in the link below to do the same thing:

  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as shown here:

  Step 2: To configure Windows to use a Normal startup state

  After you have used the boot is a way to solve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

  1. Click Start and then click Run.
  2. Type msconfig and click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
  3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  Method 3:

  Create a new user account and verify if you are able to access the program in the start menu.

  Try to connect with a different user has administrator rights account and then create a new user account.

• After you restore rundll32.exe, I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared

  Every thing seems to have returned to normal, but when I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared, and yet, all programs are always in: Control Panel > add/REMOVE programs.   I can still connect to the internet by going to-Start > my computer > view > go to the desktop. How to get back all the icons on my desktop. I tried a click right, but in vain. I also ran a scan complete antivirus. any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

• Start menu up: How do I remove programs from the Start Menu

  Please tell us how can I remove programs from the Start Menu.  In other words, I seem to have many programs starting to run, when I start my PC.

  Thank you

  Try this program to change the start:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

• How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu?

  HIDDEN PIN TO THE MENU SHORTCUT START

  How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu? This problem occurs very simply but does not quite simply. I've pinned a shortcut to the Start Menu before you uncheck the hidden attribute (knew I had) causing the shortcut to be recorded without being visible. When I tried to pin it again I was alerted to his presence by the fact that the second pinning made an extension of title (2). When I tried to change the title, I received the message that a link of this title was already present. I don't want to stay as a situation lasting this is why I need instructions on how to change it. I could just change the title of the second pinning something close but different but then I would have two shortcuts to the same program pinned on my Start Menu, without being able to be removed. I just * because if I can tell. I could uninstall the program and then run another program looking for broken shortcuts to 'fix' and then (I guess that means deletion when they can't be 'fixed') but I would like to avoid the extra steps for pedestrians to the advantage of learning a new technique of Windows if such jurisdiction exists. Could use this help as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you.

  Just tested myself and my shortcut is there.

• Why are most of my grayed out icons and my programs do not appear in all programs on the start menu?

  My computer crashed the other day. I returned with a system restore. I have scanned for viruses. Now most of my icons (computer desktop and folders) is grayed out. When I click on "all programs" in the start menu, none is listed even though they are still on my computer and still work.

  Hi homeWJ,

  Method 1

  See the Microsoft article below to download and install the fix, check if it helps.

  When you point to "Programs" on a Windows XP-based computer, the program list does not appear, or the list of programs is empty

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/941248

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check if that helps.

• Windows Fax and Scan does not appear in the start menu

  : I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and you want to (a) send faxes via a modem local fax and b scan docs from a local scanner. I mean, there should be a program Windows fax and scan shown in the start menu. I clicked all programs on the start menu, and it doesn't always show. Suggestions?

  From: Hal

  Fax and scan is available in Windows Vista Business and Ultimate editions, it is not available in any of the Windows Vista Home editions.  Since you have a version of Windows Vista Edition family, the only option of fax is a third-party product.  These products work under Windows Vista:

  Snappy Fax

  RKSFax

  VentaFax

  http://www.VentaFax.com/

  FaxTalk FaxCenter Pro 7.5

  http://www.FaxTalk.com/products/ftfcp/index.htm

  I have seen reports that the free version of BVRP also works with Windows Vista:

  http://www.usr.com/BVRP/bvrp.asp

  BVRP PhoneTools

  Given the above comes with the new USR modem, I don't know if it will work with no - USR modems.  Alternatively, you can send faxes via your Internet connection provided you are willing to pay for an Internet E - Fax service:

• 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

• 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."

  You can also use the FixIt tool in this article--> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307875

  Post back if you have done this and the list is always filled.

  How to place a return on the 'Programs' menu program / registration? I accidentally move and now I can't replace it where it was originally (in the accessories section). I put in the system 32 file is not so accessible.

  Help!

  How about you tell us the name of the program?
  Can't help if we don't know what it is.

  Assuming that the program name is called PPP.
  Start > in the search box, type PPP > look up to the left > PPP , you should see
  Right click on the PPP > click on PIN to the Start Menu

  Hope that helps.

  Hello

  In Vista, you can just type it into the search line, you get when you click Start, and then simply press to load any command that you enter. Alternatively, you can press the Windows key + r to get the run dialogue box and it do.

  If you want to have "executed" added to the start menu (not really necessary because the search line can perform the same function), right click on the taskbar, click Properties. On the start menu tab, click Customize, scroll through the list and select the box "run command".

• Search functions and help and Support does not properly in the start menu

  If I click search on the start menu, it opens with a small dog who sits down and nothing else. If I click on help and Support, I see the hour glass for a nano second and then nothing happens.

  My search function is back (with my dog).  Seems to have come back after re-installation of XP Pro.  However I have other problems re: my post today.

• Stop and run option is missing from the Start Menu.

  Original title: Administrator group of experts.

  On the Admin Panel when I want to close I normally press start and the "closing". However the button turn off disappeared and only shows button "quit". In addition the 'run' button is gone as well. How to restore it back to normal?

  It will help with these situations... and, this lesson, I've added a few new commands to my answer of registry file generic copy/paste for these kinds of things:

  If you see things like this:

  You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
  The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
  System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
  The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
  The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
  The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
  The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...

  The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

  You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

  Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

  If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

  The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

  You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

  No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

  If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

  These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

  Open Notepad to create a new text file:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  notebook

  Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

  Copy and paste the following lines of text into the new Notepad file.

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableRegistryTools" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
  "DisableCMD" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
  "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
  "DisableCAD" = DWORD: 00000000
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
  "DisableConfig" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
  "DisableSR" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoRun" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoRun" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoClose" = -.
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoClose" = -.
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  "NoSetTaskbar" = -.

  Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

  enableit.reg

  After you save the file, close Notepad.

  Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

  Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

  Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

  You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

  Reboot your system and test.

  You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

  If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).
