• How to rebuild the Windows 7 start menu?

  Having had a virus and deleted successfully, I find myself with a strange problem.

  The virus, among other things, seems to have changed the menu start removing the 'pinned' programs is not a problem, but also remove the contents of the folders in "all programs", for example under "Microsoft Office" is a subfolder called "office tools" (empty), but nothing else.
  All programs are always there and the work that they are not available on the start menu. There must be a way to rebuild this menu without having to reinstall each of the very many pieces of software on the computer.

  Suggestions welcome.

  Common to all users start menu is C:\users\all users\microsoft\windows\start menu.
  For each menu C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\window s\start user.
  By default, these are hidden files.
  Open Windows Explorer and create shortcuts, copy, paste etc.

• How to rebuild the Windows Media Player library

  Cleaning of my media player library? __

  If the instructions on the Windows 7 website do not work then what other options are available to remove it completely and start over with a new library in Media player 12 version?

  Hi corrlines,

  1. What is the exact problem you have with Windows media player?

  You can't start over with the new library in Windows media player, but you can delete the database of Windows Media Player. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) output Windows Media Player.

  (b) click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  (c), select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  Note: you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  (d) restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  If the above does not solve your problem then clear cache of database of Windows Media Player files. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) output Windows Media Player.

  (b) click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

  (c) select the folder Media Player and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  (d) restart Windows Media Player.

• How can I change my profile picture

  Dear all,

  The modern Skype with features of the touch screen looks completely different from the old Skype that we used with Win 7 and earlier versions. For example, in the old Skype, we could go to the Skype button and easily scroll through the options 'change profile photo '. In the new Skype, there is no functionality to do. (That is, as far as I know). If you click on 'My account', it takes you to the Skype Web site. In this way, you can go to "My profile" and then "Edit", but the change has not only any button next to your picture to allow you to change. In short, I don't know what to do.

  Help, please. Thank you very much in advance for your attention.

  Dr. Taher

  Hi all

  I write the method to change the profile picture for the benefit of those who are still waiting to find out how.

  Go to your homepage to Skype by clicking on the small round sticker in the upper right of the page. This will display a larger version of the image. Left click on this photo only once and the screen changes from a windows form that invites you with other photos you own. Choose how you want your new profile picture, and then left click on the button below, called "OPEN". The next screen will be your home screen Skype with the new image.

  Fact.

  How to make the window disappears after minimize instead of becoming the output of the image?

  Hi Sam,

  This issue may have caused due to infection by the virus or system files missing or damaged or because of the corruption of the user profiles. I would like to know some information about this problem so that we can help you further.

  1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  2. do you get any error code or error message while starting?

  3. have you checked if the problem occurs on a different user account?

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it works for you.

  Method 1:

  Run the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if there is any threat of viruses found.

  Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. During these 10 days, it will remove all the files infected by the virus and records. I suggest you create a backup of your data, and then install Microsoft Safety Scanner.

  Method 2:

  Run the System File Checker scan and check if it helps. This will help you to find and replace missing or damaged system files.

  See the following article from Microsoft Support to run the System File Checker.

  See the following article from Microsoft Help to create a new user account.
