How to clean programs all list them in the Start Menu?

I use most of the entries in this menu and switch to sift through to find what I use. What can I do to remove all the unwanted? If I right click and press DELETE am I remove software involved?  If I create a folder for all the unnecessary elements, it will affect the operation of the any of them should I want to use a day?

Can I re have a useful list?
If they stay there I can the elements that I use to drift upward, more I use them?

I think a better approach would just copy the shortcuts you want on the desktop if you don't normally have to use the start menu.  Do that simply click Start-> all programs and scroll to an entry that you want and do a right click.  Then click on COPY.  Right-click on an empty area of the desktop, and then click PASTE.  Voila, you have a shortcut on the desktop for this program.  You can do this with as many things as you want.

If you start to remove things from the start menu, sooner or later you will find a need for them and have a concern for her.  You CAN sort the entries by name if you wish.  This is the default on my laptop.

Good luck.

  • In the start-up procedure, how can I remove "press ESC to access the Start Menu" when the machine hangs at the HP logo screen?

    Hello

    I am running 64 Win7HP on a laptop HP dv3, processor Core 2 Duo 4 GB DDR2 Ram, 320 GB HD, just as it came out of the box when purchased directly from HP replaced EXCEPT Vista OS with 64bits Win7HP.  Machine worked fine until the LAST update of Windows, where during the reboot, I got to the HP logo screen and in the lower left corner of the screen appeared the statement (for THE FIRST TIME) "Press ESC for the Start Menu."  Pressing Esc translates into another command "press Esc...".  Break. " When you press ESC, you get a black screen until the machine goes to sleep UNLESS you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete. If you press the 3 key combo, it will continue to start and brings you to the screen of your password for access and then operate nicely, until you turn off the system. So, how can I get rid of the superfluous instructions and get this thing here where he turns and goes directly to the screen of password without intermediate steps?  Restore points are long since gone for immediate access to the front last Win Update.
    The answer may be simple, but until now it has escaped my low range.  Any help is appreciated.

  • All program files and shortcuts from the "Start" menu disappeared

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2) (64-bit).  Two days back, I've updated my windows.  After restarting the PC, all program files and shortcuts in Start menu disappeared.  The shortcuts that I myself had added manually do not work.

    Have you tried to do the restore of the system in SafeMode as stated in my answer 1 to you?

    If it doesn't/does not work:

    If you do not want to repost in the Windows Update Forum (they are the specialists it for the best advice regarding your problem), make this disc Bootable startup repair and use it to do a system restore or uninstall the updates by using the method 2nd in my 1st reply:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • programs do not appear in the start menu after upgrading windows 7

    Please, I beg you! I need help.  I got Vista with this PC from nine a year ago but recently installed upgrading Windows 7.  My programs or files do not appear, and there is a file with something like Windows.old and when I opened it presents the information I had before, but how do I transfer to see what I did to Start Up.  Also, it does not show programs like Word, powerpoint, Excel, etc.

    Window update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Posting here instead of assistance: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

    But I can tell you that you will need to reinstall all third-party software because you did a 'custom (Advanced) upgrade' to Win7 (vs an upgrade in Place). Good luck! ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  • What are the programs in the start menu in Windows 7

    Hello

    Assuming that I get a new computer and I just installed Windows 7 and nothing else. What are the programs will then be in the start menu?

    As the current state of things, my computer starts very slowly, so I don't want to uninstall something if it is vital to start Windows 7.

    Thank you

    JIMOA

    While nothing in the Startup tab is vital to win it can prevent vital programs from functioning as expected.

    And if you buy a new PC, it would normally win pre-installed and the manufacturer will have also included all kinds of utilities/Add-ons not less a trial anti-virus program
