• How to enable missing programs in Windows 7? -for example Windows Journal

  I recently bought a HP computer with Windows 7 pre-installed. According to the homepage of Microsoft and several other sites, Windows 7 is supposed to include a program called "Windows Journal". However, no matter how much I look at, I can't seem to find this program on my computer. I know I don't have accidentally uninstall the program. Any ideas on what may occur? Thank you!

  After this is done, go to start > all programs > Accessories > Tablet PC and then click the Windows Journal to open it.

• Missing startup programs, printers uninstalled and run used print spooler

  Hi guys,.

  The title really says it all.   I am running XP.
  I tried to use my scanner but it will not work properly.
  I tried to use my printer laser hp 8000 and Canon S800 deskjet.   They are more installed and when I try to install I get an error that says that the print spooler is not running.
  All programs are missing in commissioning.   If I click on programs, then I can find them.
  Any ideas?   I ran, but I'm not all that good in the first place.
  TIA

  "Missing programs" indicate likely malware infestation.  What do you use for an antivirus application and is his current subscription?  Have you let the subscription expires?

  Start with the download, install, update and run an analysis complete with each of these tools free amtimalware.  Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each is likely to take some time, so have something else to do.

  Now for the symptoms.

  Hidden entries in the start menu > all programs

  Beginning > menu all programs is a combination of two folders (directories) on your hard drive:

  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Menu
  C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu

  If the subdirectories in one or both of the above is given to the "hidden" attribute, you will not see the corresponding entry when you click Start > all programs.  To check and fix this, right-click on the Start button and select "Open" or "Open All Users" (you should do as well until you're through).  In the window of Windows Explorer that opens, click Tools > Folder Options > view.  Click on the button "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)."  OK your way out.

  Double-click the programs folder.  Any folder that is hidden will appear "disappear".  Right click on each hidden folder, and then select Properties.  At the bottom of the general tab, uncheck the 'hidden '.  Click OK.  Select "apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files. Click OK.  Do this for all the hidden folders.  When you are finished, go back to tools > Folder Options > view and the changes that you have made previously.

  Repeat the above by right clicking on start and select open or open all users, no matter what you is not done everything first.

• How to remove startup programs to include information system?

  I have two questions:

  1. how to eliminate some startup programs - that is to say small icons that appear in the lower right of the screen after the home screen?

  2. What does the following error message, and how can I correct: «entry point procedure RegSetKeyValue is not found in the dynamic library of ink ADVAPTI32.dll»

  To answer #1 question, you can use the program 'msconfig' to Microsoft

  (Start-> Run-> "msconfig")

  to toggle the elements that run at startup... but especially for diagnostic purposes.

  A better way is to download the freeware from Microsoft "AutoRuns".  When you run it, it will show a list of items that run at startup and allow you to uncheck all that you desire.

• How to stop startup programs unnecessary popingup when I start my pc

  How to stop startup programs unnecessary upward poping when I start my pc

  How to stop startup programs unnecessary upward poping when I start my pc

  First of all, note that you should be in * all * the programs that start automatically, not only with those who are in the system tray. Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the status bar.

  On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its Options to see if she has the choice to not start (make sure that you actually choose to not run, not simply a "don't display the icon" option). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If this does not work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line and on the Startup tab, uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

  However, if I were you, I wouldn't do this just for the purpose of the minimum number of running programs. Despite what a lot of people tell you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs you run, but * that *. Some of them can seriously affect the performance, but others have no effect on performance.

  Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do is to determine what each program is that its value is for you and what the performance cost is running all the time. You can try searching the Internet and ask questions about the details here.

  Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

• Startup program is hidden - how to detect?

  As a developer, this issue has become a challenge that I would like to solve. I recently received a copy of a free keylogger program to play with and he almost lost control on my PC - it has options to hide entirely and had I not left some people not controlled, I would have probably lost control over it.
  For example, how it starts automatically with Windows. Even now, it is configured to save and it will be executed when Windows starts using msconfig or other similar utilities, you see no sign of it - the keylogger does not use one of the standard methods: user startup folder, registry 'Run' (local computer or current user) and it does not have an installed service. How does it start? I hope that it does not modify the existing programs of the system because it would be so bad, that it would be probably illegal. What other legitimate methods are there to launch a program automatically? How can I study more usable by programs like this stealth mechanisms?

  Still using Visual Studio 2005 SP1, for most c# and C++. collage on Windows XP. Mountain time zone.

  Well, since nobody answered, I went ahead and got the answer. There is a tutorial on this athttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial44.html. It is rather scary how many different places, which is not intended to be used for automatic startup programs can actually be used for that purpose. And any program that uses these must legitimately be classified as malware. In my case, the keylogger itself was nailed to theuserinit to WinLogon (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon) entry.

• How to change startup programs, as MSE disables Defender?

  In order to access the startup programs, Vista seems to need Defender.  However, since installing Security Essentials, I not was able to use Defender even temporary or offline!  How would I disable Security Essentials to proceed?

• How to manage startup programs if Windows Defender open habit?

  When I try to change startup programs, I get an error Windows Defender message: 0x800106ba when I click on the link to open Windows Defender. It used to open this way recently and I read that it might have something to do with other antivirus programs. I was not able to open Windows Defender for the month from the list of programs, but I've always been able to open it when I try to change startup programs, until, like yesterday. I tried running it as administrator and also to open it in the location of the file, but I get the same error message. So, how can I manage my startup programs? Windows Defender is not yet in the list "uninstall programs", but it's in the start menu.

  What other programs Anti Virus, Anti Spyware, are you running?

  It is not possible to uninstall Windows Defender, as confirmed by this article.

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  Check that you have slipped n enabled for your Start menu:

  ·         Right click on Start Orb > click Properties > click on Customize

  Make sure there is a checkmark in Activate context menus and drag and drop

  ·         Click OK > click OK

  If this does not help, you can try the following:

  ·         Right click on Start Orb > click on Explorer all users

  ·         Go to the programs > Microsoft Office

  You should be able to drag-and - drop the icon there.

• How can I change the programs that my computer runs at startup... as when I first cut it on all programs that just automaticlly opens

  When I cut on my computer it starts a program called frost wire and it freezes I want to remove where it starts automaticlly and just start up when I open

  Hello

  FrostWire is a BitTorrent software or any bit torrent software can be dangerous to use that you can end up with a Malware infected computer.

  FrostWire forums:

  As your computer freezes because of this, I would like to download Malwarebytes anti-malware update and scan of Malware:

  You can manage through Windows Defender startup programs.

  But if you use McAfee, Norton, AVG and MSE, etc as an Anti Virus they disable Defender, which is the best thing for them to do.

  There are a couple of other ways to manage startup programs:

  How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista

  Here's how to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista to disable some unnecessary programs that load automatically at startup. Disabling these programs will help your computer boot faster and crash less.

  http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html

  Alternatively, you can use this free Autoruns program:

  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 configure Autoruns 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.

  Autoruns' hide signed Microsoft entries allows you to zoom in on images of automatic start of third parties who have been added to your system and it has support for looking at images of Autostart configured for other accounts configured on a system. A command-line equivalent that can display in format CSV, Autorunsc is also included in the download package.

  You may be surprised how many executables are launched automatically!

  And some programs under Tools > Options give you the choice to know if they start when Windows starts, or not.

  Hi jassemali,

  ·         Did you check if the system is now in Normal startup?

  ·         All programs work well?
