(2) Windows XP to test the object, which attribute the M: for this OS drive

Anyone have any suggestions on how to configure this setting?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Hello

I suggest to install Windows XP on two different partitions, then try to start the computer. You will get an option to choose which operating system to select. But you will not be able to rename option in Windows XP dual boot.

In case if you have Windows 7 installed with Windows XP, you can rename the option Windows 7 dual-boot.

  • 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.

  • I can't stop Windows via the Start Menu

    Original title: Shutdown, problem

    My laptop Dell Inspiron (64-bit) with Windows 7 is to have close questions. Since yesterday, when I click on stop in the start menu, nothing happens. It's as if I never clicked on stop at all. The same happens when I click on restart or any other shutdown/logoff options. The only way I can get it to stop is if I press the power button, but when I turn it on again, instead of saying "Starting Windows", he said "Resuming Windows". I ran a few virus scans and it doesn't seem to be a problem here. I don't know what else to do.

    Run the SFC/scannow command. This will check and repair if necessary all of the critical Windows system files.

    Click on start / all programs/accessories then
    Right-click on the command prompt option and select "Run as Administrator".
    At the command prompt, enter: SFC/scannow

  • How to permanently delete a recent list of the start menu program?

    Hello

    I would like to know how I can prevent a program from appearing in the list of most recently used programs on the start menu in Windows 7 (Pro).

    For example, "notebook" is in this list, but I've only start it by double-clicking on text files, never through the start menu. In this way, 4 of the 10 last menu entries are shortened I will never use and that take away space for other, more valuable shortcuts.

    I know that I can delete items manually by using the right-click menu ("remove from list"), but I really prefer a way to do this is permanent.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!
    Michael

    Hi Michael

    I don't think there is a way to accomplish what you describe. There is no way to set this component to "ignore" specific programmes.

    I hope this helps.

  • 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.

    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 .

  • How can I remove the user name and the image of Windows XP new Start Menu

    Two questions:

    1. How can I delete the user name and the image of Windows XP new start; and

    2. my computer keeps asking me to press the F1 key to start Windows.  How to skip this part?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The image of user account can be removed by disabling the Welcome screen. Or, by opting for the classic Windows theme. Follow the method described in this article, if you want to remove the user name and the picture in the Start Menu, without disabling the Welcome screen and Windows XP theme.

    For those who want to delete the user name and the image of user account from the Start Menu, in order to have a blue white Panel at the top, try this:

    Step 1:

    a. start Windows Explorer and go to this folder:
     
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft account images

    b. in this folder, rename the BMP file that corresponds to your user account.
     
    (For example, if your user name is Robert, rename Robert.bmp to old_Robert.bmp)

    c. then rename the following folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft account Pictures\Default pictures
     
    to something else, for example,.
     
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft account Pictures\No_Default images.

    To remove the user name, follow these steps

    a. Click Start, click "RUN" and type "regedit.exe" and navigate to this key:

    b. in the right pane, the value NoUserNameInStartMenu-value data 1.

    c. close Regedit.exe and restart Windows.

    You'll find yourself with a blue area at the top of the Start Menu.

    Regarding the pressing 'F1' to start Windows, you have made no changes or was there a system crash after which the problem started?

    You may need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS to the default settings. I recommend you contact your PC vendor for this.

    Warning of the BIOS:
    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • How can I recover windows files on the start menu as "Accessories" after the fake recovery tool?

    My pc has been infected recently with the fake windows recovery tool. I don't know how to recover the files/folders in the start menu and the desktop that were there before.

    It seems to remove the shortcuts in the start program, so a show systemic does not help.  Or it does solve the problem of the "NoDesktop" under political Explorer setting, which prevents the user access to the desktop (see  ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938265.aspx).  I had to deal with a computer with these questions last week. I'm not sure it's the same virus (it was a fakesysdef one), but some things can not easily be corrected.  My experience was that I had to set up the shortcuts to start again, as they were not hidden, but they seem to just disappeared.

  • Windows 8 How to revive the desktop and the Start Menu?

    Hello, if you are using Windows 8, sometimes we are asked to open the Task Manager and close some programs for performance reasons. Strangely, programs that have been closed with the X button at the top right are still reported running and need to be stopped manually via Task Manager! During the closure of the "Desktop" program (Yes, it is in the list and it is possible to simply close), how it can be restored? Where doesn't he disappears and with it also the Start Menu? We tried to find via the command run, and we stopped the machine and restarted does not. Now, there is just an o/s hidden without user interface! The machine responds to CTRL + ALT + DELETE to bring up the Task Manager. Thank you.

    You can absolutely close, for sure.  But, apps Store of Windows cannot do the slower computer.  Memory is marked as 'open for use' and can be erased and reused for any new process in the clock cycle (approximately a 1000th of a second), then it poses absolutely no load on the system just let them "running" forever.  Developers sometimes refer to this frozen as "tomb-stoned.  This is the reason for the new model of application development, so that the users do not have to worry about closing or opening an application. They just use the computer and do what they want without a slowdown.  You know, like the iPad :)
