• How to remove the search box in the Windows 7 Start Menu?

  I'm a guy from keyboard. Encoder, mudder. Therefore, I prefer my Start menu for user-friendly keyboard, which includes the removal of the search box as the focus of pigs. I can't find this option in the control panel to the taskbar and Start Menu. I lack, or it is impossible to get the classic Windows, looking for the start menu?

  I forgot on the thing... If you want to remove the search box, try this: start > Control Panel > programs > Turn Windows features or disable > uncheck Windows Search

  ...

  I said that you can press Tab... wrong... you must press SHIFT + Tab.

  ...

  About to express my opinion - there is a simple reason why I do this. Some time ago, someone asked how to remove the search box, and it received no response for a few days. After that, I found this option, how to remove... When I said on this subject after a few days, I heard that this person used to this new feature of Windows and now it will keep it. I'm not saying that your opinion is wrong... this system differ only from XP... so we have to try to learn something new and check after a few days we don't like this solution more than the previous.

  ...

  I wonder why write you in commentary edition which has pasted the link almost not worth it. You will get exactly the same behavior of Menu start as in Windows XP. I thought that you, like this old solution... "Pinning just something that mimics the classic style"... No... you have clicked on the first link... you should read more prudent. There was also another. But even if you have selected the first solution with menu PIN... I guess you don't know that you can run all the pinned programs by pressing the Windows key + number... for example, WinKey + 1, so that each action is made without a mouse.

  

• the Windows 7 start menu as a menu display does not respond when selected

  original title: windows 7 start menu - display as a menu broken

  When you customize my Start menu in Windows 7, I chose to 'Display as a Menu', as many items as I could.  It worked well for a while, but now is broken. Now, if 'Display as a Menu' or "Display as a link" is chosen, I have to click the item to open it.  I tried to change it back in 'menu' to 'bind', I tried choose "display only" and then back to "view in the form of a menu, I rebooted. I changed the delay of menushow definition in the registry by default 400 for as little as 20.  All to nothing does not.  Any ideas?

  FYI for those who might encounter the same problem... found an easier solution.  I just put the menu start failing. The button is at the bottom of the start menu.

• I want to go back to the Windows 7 start menu version. How can I do?

  Original title: Windows Start menu 8

  I don't like the Start Menu on Windows 8 and want to return to the version of Windows 7. How can I do?

  Hello

  Which is actually not so easy... especially if Win 8 has been pre-installed...

  You almost buy Windows 7, or reinstall your pre-installed WINDOWS 7 If you have.

  Even this may be a trick, because the installation of Win 8 probably messed up the process to make...

  If you needed to restore to factory records, you might be lucky...

  Another option would be to install something like the classic interface (free) or debut8 ($4.99).

  Personally, I use debut8... for the most part, that you will think you are running Win 7 and still have features to win 8 If you want to use them...

  I never tried the classic shell because I used a free trial of debut8 first. I decided it was well worth $ 5 and never studied further.

  If you follow the instructions in KB289022,

  by right-clicking on "My Computer" then:
  Properties-> (Advanced tab)-> settings (under Startup and recovery)-> Edit

  Notepad then opens the appropriate file.

  This will most likely be located on the disk that your BIOS is considered the primary boot device.

• The Windows 7 Start Menu search / indexing nothing works! Tried everything!

  OK Ive spent countless hours of research on this question, ive tried many "bugs" that did not work at all. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit Edition and here is my problem:

  The search for the Start Menu in windows 7 does not show ANYTHING when I type something to search for. No category, no file, no folder, nothing. The only thing that appears is "See more results" at the bottom and everything else is empty. When I click on "See more results" I get an error saying that windows cannot find the search query

  WHAT IVE TRIED:

  Ive tried to rebuild the index - always says 0 indexed items and NEVER changes, Ive tried to manually change the location of the index, same result

  Ive tried deleted manually the former location of the index, stop the search function, from the search function (both in the options and in regedit), restart the computer and still nothing.

  Ive tried Backing removed all find Regkeys, stop manually search in the command prompt, location of the Delete index into the command prompt, restart the search function in the command prompt.

  Ive tried to do an in Place Upgrade / repair installation of Windows 7 but he's always said his failure and returned to my current installation of WIN7

  Ive double checked to ensure that all my regkeys have the correct values and I have all the correct regkeys

  After all that, nothing WORKS STILL! -Yes research is Active, yes the file indexing and drive is chosen correctly, and yes the Search Options for files and folders ARE set up.

  Ive seen 3 other emails of Micrsoft argue that users have posted, some people say it arranges, it does NOTHING for me. I always have this problem.

  Please, please help me with this, if anyone can help me, you have no idea how much I appreciate it!

  I don't know what caused it, but this problem fixed the original problem and you describe for me:

• Need help with the Windows Vista Start Menu

  So, I turned on my computer today and clicked on the start menu, I expanded the tab all programs and was shocked to see that it was empty. Tab Assecories, Extras and upgrades, games, all of them, all tabs have disappeared. Is any way to restore? I don't know how to get to the Defrag disk or cleaning disc or one of these things without it. Help, please!

  -Tim

  A plus for you to try.

  It still happens today. Yes?

  Why not do a system restore.

  Choose 2 days ago, or a date then your list of all the programs worked as your restore point.

• How can I stop Windows 8 Start menu from popping up when I drag my mouse around using my touchpad?

  On my new laptop, whenever I try to go on the left side of my screen on the right side by sliding my finger on the touchpad, the start menu appears. How can I disable this?

  Hi friend

  Welcome to the Microsoft community,

  I preached this whole week... my pleasure to increased win8 x 100 once I turned off the edge of the touchpad scan function.  The path may be slightly different, but the synaptics touchpad is the Control Panel / hardware and audio / mouse / device settings / settings / edge shot - and disable "enable edge scans".

  This prevents context changes maddening when browsing the web or doing anything on the touch pad really... you can always access the charms on the right upper or lower, and you can always access history FRO the top left corner after that you disable this... but it is much more controlled.
  hope this helps!
  Tell me when you read this all & if the problem will still be there, then I'll help you.
  Thank you.

  Taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
  attrib-h "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db.
  del "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db.
  Explorer.exe

  d. this restart Windows Explorer and rebuild the cache icons as needed.

  Step 2:

  Test the issue in a new user account.
