How to bring an item to start menu on the desktop?

I have Skype on my Start menu but you want to wear this at the office... How to do it please...?

Hello Anas,

Which version of Skype app do you use, version of the modern user or the desktop version?

We have two versions of the app Skype for Windows 8. One is the version of the modern user interface and the other is the desktop version. You can't pin the modern version of the application on the desktop user interface. However, you can create a shortcut to the desktop version of the app on desktop.

Right click on the start screen and go to applications. You can get the desktop version of the Skype app and right click on it. Now, select go to the location of the file. Then right-click on the file and select Create shortcut to create a shortcut on the desktop

Let us know if you have other questions related to the issue. We would be happy to help you.

  • HP Start Menu and the desktop icons for HP printer Diagnostic tools

    Hello world

    I have a HP Desktop F4440 all-in-one printer and I use the Windows XP operating system. I have all the scanning software and others installed from the original HP installation disk or updates from the HP Web site for this printer. Everything works very well at the moment, but there is a small problem. The HP icon shortcuts for the Menu start-up and functions for the printer changed to a generic icon at a time given to these two places after the software installation CD was used by me to install the printer programs or desktop icon HP to utilities "Diagnostic Tools HP printer" original. It works fine otherwise, when I want to go check something on the Tools of diagnosis HP printer or HP Solution Center, but the HP icon changed to a generic at a time for a reason unknown, inexplicable. I don't have no changes to my system until the problem occurred to my knowledge other casual upgrade for the operating system or install a new windows update or HP software updates or restart the computer, but some schooner point after one of these upgrades, HP put to date or restart the HP start menu and desktop icons time replaced by a generic.

    Can someone tell me how I can recover the original HP icon and get her back Amendment? It was an icon on the web since the HP printer Diagnostics utility or function is based on the web. Is there a way I can save a copy of just the file on my computer icon so that if it goes back to that generic again once I can more easily change what it is supposed to be? I thank very you much for your help and advice.

    Hi there yoseph13,

    What has happened to me too, but after a windows update. Half the icons on my desktop have been affected. I hope that this fix works for you as well. Right-click on the icon. Go to properties. Click Change icon. Select the icon and click ok then apply and ok again. If the icon does not appear, you will need to navigate to the folder of the software and select the application.

    Good luck!

    Were able to:

    -Troubleshooting

    -Advanced options

    -System restore

    I chose a restore date before that I did my last windows update and then flew it worked.

    Then I created a good restore point and reinstalled the update and everything was fine. I hope this helps someone.

  • JumpLists disabled; 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is greyed out

    My option 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is grayed out. Are also grayed out any mention of "jumplists" system (i.e. the number of items to display in the jumplists). Have I inadvertently disabled this feature? If so, how can I return it?

    Hi, landonblaine:

    When the option store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar is disabled and grayed out, it is a symptom that two Windows fonts are applied to your system.

    Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsMenu value set to 1, delete it. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsHistory value set to 1, remove it as well.

    Repeat the same steps in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key (it cannot exist).

    Restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience

    The red x is a mistake - it shows the location of an image that was not loaded.  Check this page for another example of messages with images - why are images on my warped computer so it is not on other computers?  Appear the many photos in this thread?

    You should check the settings in two places for the same problem (but please note that cleaning malware & registry are also for symptoms such as this).

    1 if you right-click on an image & select view the picture to make it appear then it indicates that you have this setting turned off normally.  To put the photos permanently in Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu [alt, t], and then select Internet options, Advanced tab. About two - thirds of the way to the bottom of the list is an article on Multimedia & its final entry is show pictures - the value of this check box.

    2 see also the pictures are not displayed and you see a red X on the Web sites in Internet Explorer , please review, information on using Windows ActiveX filtering - this setting are in the menu Tools of IE that you can get to by pressing alt, t & then selecting the entry of ActiveX filtering to enable it or disable it.
