How to change the icons on the start menu?

I was wondering if it is possible to change the icons on the start menu, combined with 'My Favorites', 'Control Panel' and others?

Hello

Thank you for using Microsoft answers.

Icons on the start menu is not editable, but you can download and install third-party themes to change the Visual effects of the start menu.

You can use your favorite search engine to download and install themes.

Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

You can change the icons of the folders and add images.

Please post back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem.

Kind regards

  • Change the start menu of windows 7 to look like XP

    Hey there, can someone tell me how to make the start menu in windows 7 look and works as the XP menu start. He drives me crazy I'm not I could do it in Vista, but not 7

    Hi Boopgirl,

    If you are referring to the menu classic start, so here's an alternative of third parties who use a lot of people.

    Official site of CSMenu:
    http://www.csmenu.com/

    CSMenu is a small application that works like the classic Start menu. It is designed for Windows 7, which does not have a start menu classic. Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Desktop Experience]

    I just follow this suggestion qnd it is ACE, thank you very much. I really don't like restrictions on the Organization and navigation of the new start menu and it's true that I was disappointed 7 did not have the ability to switch to the classic, as they did with Vista.
    But this little app is great and it looks even better than the original with its background of transparency.

  • How can I change the start menu to view all default programs?

    Hello

    There is no way to display the menu all programs when you click on the Start button. Start is similar to a toolbar. When you select it, it will show all the different components that you can access.

    You can stop the recent programs to display. Right-click the Start button and select Properties. In the privacy section, Remove the check mark from the option store and display recently opened programs in the start menu .

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • How to change the start position of the text on a custom path

    I don't seem to be able to change the start position of the text on a custom path. I can see the 'X' on the basic line that defines the beginning of the text, but it doesn't seem to be a way to change its position. Among the videos on the Internet suggested that now the CTRL key would allow X to drag along the way - however, if I try that, the path moves rather than the X.

    Steps to reproduce the problem:

    Select text on a custom path tool

    Draw a custom path

    Validate by clicking on the green arrow

    Click path for text insertion tool

    Type text

    Engage

    ... Now try to change the start position of the text.

    Photoshop Elements 10

    Windows XP SP3

    After validating the text you need to click on the path with the type tool (for example next to your first letter), and then by holding down the ctrl key should work.

    Your get the path selection tool.

    In other words without switching tools, just pass your cursor next to the text, then click on when the cursor turns into the i-beam cursor, but you can switch to the type tool as Ken suggest if you find that easier.

  • How to access the start menu? F10 is ignored. ESC is ignored.

    I have a HPE175z running a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium.  I want to change the startup parameters.  When the system boots, the screen tells me that < F10 > give me access to the configuration.  F10 is completely ignored.  A message tells me later < ESC > will give me access to the Start Menu. < ESC > is also ignored.  Similarly, I have try all the keys are ignored - nothing interrupts the boot sequence.  How can I access the start menu?

    The problem is that no key during the boot stopped the boot process and allowing me to enter the installation or startup configuration.  I swapped keyboards and the problem disappeared.  Apparently, the keyboard did not have during the boot sequence.

    Thanks to all those who had a suggestion.

  • How to customize the start menu?

    Click on Start Win7

    Hello
    By clicking on the button start opens a tab on the left and a grey one, a white section a right.
    At the top of the right panel is the following folder names: - name of user, Documents, photos and music q. - can add a new folder to this upper part?

    As Hula wrote, you can only add files that start menu, right click, properties, customize allows you.

    - - - - - - - -

    However, you can change the behavior of these entries of Documents etc. in your Start menu.  There are two ways to achieve this.

    1 change the entry of Documents directly.  To see what I mean, right click on the entry of Documents & select Properties.  In the dialog box that appears, you can see how to include additional folders.

    2. add additional folders to your library of Documents using Windows Explorer.

    Although you can change the entire library or storefront, I don't think you can go as far as it modifies the actual Viewer UI.

  • How to change the Services Menu.

    Installed WordService to test. Ran very well but I have no reason to keep it. I removed all traces of it except, WordService choices that are listed in the preferences of Services. It does not hurt anything for them to be there, but if someone knows which file needs change or to delete I wouldn't mind if they were gone.

    TIA

    Look in your library in the folder of the User Services:

    ~/Library/services/

    You also can right-click on the item in the preferences of Services (keyboard shortcuts) and choose to Revel in the Finder, and it will open a window to the Services folder.

    If it's there, move it to the Recycle Bin and restart the computer.

  • Change the start page.

    Hello community!

    My first question should be why Robohelp makes life so frustrating complicatingly!  Gaaaaah!  Seriously, no other program development is so illogical or restrictive. Good thing, I'm only using the trial because I'm having a hard time building a desire to use it, especially when Madcap flare is so much easier to use.  Maybe someone can help me with this!

    Pass and take the Parameters of Webhelp, found only in the menu file to Generatepoint.  I want to change the location of start page for my webhelp project ("OH!").

    So there, in the general tab, under output and beginning of the page, the field to set which page to show when loading the webhelp project. So I change the html file, click on save, press Generate and viola! -no change!  No change using any other page no more and even placement of the page html in the first spot... No.

    He couldn't be as simple it could it?

    If anyone have idea how really change the start page of a file from Webhelp?

    Welcome to our community

    Weird, a lot of people find RoboHelp actually simpler to use and understand than the Flare.

    First, we will ensure you are not to be confused with the default theme, the start page. I assume you are using RoboHelp HTML 9 here.

    When you examine the properties of single Source available, you can configure the name of the start page.

    The start page of WebHelp is usually named Index.htm and is where you point users to open the WebHelp. This page defines a cascade of events in motion. It divides the browser in different areas where each area charge a different content to the main toolbar, Navigation bar and so on. The last action is to load the default theme in the topic pane. What you describe suggests that you want to change the default theme.

    To change the default theme, expand Content Categories , and then select the default category. Then, click the choose... button and propose a new topic to become the default.

    See if that helps things of the kind... Rick

  • Why they provide a compression of the start menu?

    I would really like to know this because I love the way the start menu works on Windows XP.
    Since Windows Vista, and now with Windows 7, when I go to "all programs" all my program items are listed in a 1 list under each other and considered as nested when I click on a folder. I always have a certain programs installed that use the start menu and it really clutters the list. Of course, everything is sorted, but which is not what I mean. I would like to see "all programs" fold on display again as the classic Start menu or how it worked in Windows XP. It worked simple and effective. Now I need to find a great list of applications, I installed and sometimes to open a file that makes the list even longer.

    Now I use 3rd party applications which changes the start menu to do these things, but these programs are often not free and when they do they have other problems that I won't discuss here for obvious reasons. ;)

    So my question is simple: is it still re-create they way manipulated XP style 'all programs' expansion? As it is now it greatly reduced my experience with Windows. All the guys at the office think also that it is quite a problem.

    I hope that I have explained the situation well otherwise I try to answer your questions. :)

    Thanks in advance.
