• Yet once again, I ask. How can I put "recent documents" on the start menu in windows 7, I use Office 2003.

  Just need a shortcut for 'recent documents' which has disappeared.  It had XP & Vista.

  Could find and add a shortcut to 'new document' that displays white screen, fax, letter, etc.

  Cancan, probably not what you want, but is "Recent Articles" in the start menu of good?

  It will contain recent documents, but also has other types of files like images.

  Sorry if you tried and it's not what you need, or I misunderstood.

• When I right click the tab recent items on the start menu, the option to clear recent does not appear.

  When I right click on the RECENT ITEMS tab on the right on the display of the menu pane START, the option CLEAR the RECENT ITEMS LIST does not appear.

  How can I restore it?
  original title: restoration CLEARLY the RECENT POSTS

  Hello

  This occurs if the file desktop.ini in the recent folder is deleted.

  a. Click Start, type "% AppData%\Microsoft\Windows" and press {ENTER}

  b. right click on the folder named recent, then choose Delete. Click Yes when you are prompted.

  c. now, type the command "shell: recent" in the start - menu search box, and then press {ENTER}.

  Note: The command above recreates the recent folder, as well as a new desktop.ini file and opens the file.

  d. disconnect and return connection. You should now see the context menu list of recent items clear when you right click on the recent items on the start menu folder.

• MS word offers the option of Microsoft Word 2010 (2) in the list of the start menu

  Original title: program registration under Start button

  Today, when I was looking for a program that is displayed when I select the Start button, I noticed that the number 2 see the next to registration for Microsoft Word 2010.  It looks now like this: Microsoft Word 2010 (2)

  I don't think it was like that the other day when I finally used Word.  Any ideas on why it would start that looks like this?  I made no changes to my computer.

  I use Microsoft 7 Home Premium.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Debba,.

  -You have two entries in the start menu for Microsoft Word? One is Microsoft Windows Word 2010 (2) and the other is Microsoft Word 2010 Microsoft Office on the start menu?

  -Is this Microsoft Word 2010 (2) successfully opened?

  -This happens to you with other programs in the list?

  If there are two icons for Microsoft Word 2010 on the Start menu, remove the icon of Windows of Microsoft Word 2010 (2).

  All you have to do is click on Microsoft Word 2010 (2) and click on remove from this list.

  This seems to be only a Microsoft Word 2010 shortcut added to the list of the start menu.

  Hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.

• PC Tools Performance Toolkit, removed from the list of programs recently used in the Start Menu and a new one is born not more

  I used the destructor of the demo feature PC Tools Performance Toolkit allows you to delete a directory that I couldn't take off any other way. At the same time used a few other functionlities software to clean my computer, the software promised to improve the performance of my computer (Vista). Then I discovered that the software deleted the list of programs recently used in the start which was not desirable. Now there is a list of recently used programs, and a new one is created either. How can I get the list to create again?

  It is not recommended to use any cleaners/tune Up all registry program on modern operating systems.

  And they can do more harm to your any good operating system that they claim to be able to do.

  See if that helps you.

  Do a system restore, if necessary using the safe, before the problem started.

• How to get removed from the start menu programs?

  Hello

  I stupidly deleted my file of all programs on the start menu (by chance).
  He emptied the folder programs on the start menu through Explorer windows as well.

  I still have access to all of my programs seeking for them or through the program files. How can I rebuild my Start menu to the original WITHOUT reinstalling windows or something like that.

  Unfortunately, I can't do a restore because it is configured to do a clean up of all old restore points, and he did it about 5 minutes before the problem occurred.

  PLEASE HELP ME!

  Need to create shortcuts to the programs and applications that you want in the start menu.

  Concerning

• Customize the "Programs" list in the start menu which will be held in the way I want

  On the Start Menu, under the "All programs" list, I want to be able to organize where shortcuts are stored and how they are organized.  I found out how switch to Classic view and do the old-fashioned way.  That took me so far. To illustrate, I don't want the set of displayed utilities kitchen sink.  This is absurd.  So I created folders that go something like this: Office-graphic tools, security tools, tools of money, Web tools, tools, etc.  Then the first time I put for example, Adobe Reader 8 under Web tools. I put Norton under Tools-security, etc.  This means that I don't have to sort through a Visual equivalent of a pile of linen on the floor to find what I need.  It is logically. (When I was finished, I went back in the menu "Classic start", in the Vista Start menu).  It was working fine.

  But that is the problem.  Classics view let me do it once, but now that I've updated programs, like I did just for Adobe Reader 9, he puts the shortcut at the top of the list, and he won't let me not drag in the folder I want, or customize any other way.  (Why not?  Users should be able to easily organize their own computer screen. For me, customization is not just by clicking on a list about whether or not he should display something. "It is to logically organize the way you want).  When I return to the classic menu, it does not show the Adobe Reader 9, or some of the other utilties that have been added to the list of programs and to show up when I go to "All programs" but are not where when I return to the option of classic menu-customize-Advanced to customize folders.

  Please advise me on how to customize the display, ideally in the version of Vista's Start Menu, instead of having to go back to the classic view, which now does not display the new shortcuts.  Thank you.

  Hi ibydesign,

  I know what you mean. Everyone has their own way of organizing and you should be able to logically group things where you want. Whose computer is anyway? There IS a way to organize your own stuff in Vista. If you right click on the button to start, then click on explore all users, it will open Windows Explorer in the (hidden) program data folder. Under Microsoft\Windows\Start Démarrer\Programmes you should see all the files and programs that you want to work with.

• 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.

  You can check some dates that those were the last time.

  Start - Recent Articles - click with the right button on any entry and select Properties - general tab
  This may not work for some.

  Also check the contents of this folder:

• How to permanently delete movies and to clear the cache?

  Some time ago I synced a few videos my iPhone 6. While I was scrolling my phone later I looked to the top of all the videos that I have synced, so I crept just left and deleted all of the videos that I have synced. I also deleted them from my PC and iTunes. Whenever I have connect my iPhone and open iTunes and go to 'Movies' (in my iPhone, library, NO iTunes) I can still see the videos here, even if I deleted everywhere. They are grayed out and I can't get rid of them. I deleted them on my phone but iTunes has always said that it is on my phone. It shouldn't, because technically, these files no longer even exist. What is a cache problem? How can I clear out old stuff that I deleted no longer appears?

  My guess is that you will find these videos always listed in iTunes in the movie videos section. Delete them from there and they should no longer appear.
