Hello
Thanks for posting the request in the Microsoft community forums!
I understand that the desktop icon change extension .lnk. Do not worry about the advice given will help you solve the problem.
Method 1:
Try to change the association of files from the control panel.
Go to the following location to change the associated file.
Start \Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations
You can access the link below and follow the instructions on how to change which programs Windows uses by default: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default
Method 2:
If the steps above fail then you can try the suggestions section of the knowledge base and check.
When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

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.

recent documents in the files, NOT the start menu download
I would like to clear the huge list of my recent Documents when I try to attach a file in the email, etc.
Just to be clear as possible, I don't want to start, my recent Documents menu.Thanks for any help!
Hello
Thank you answering back.
How to access recent documents in Gmail? It was during the setting of documents?
If so, recent documents that appear in the start menu is even when you try to attach the files to the post office.
If you need to delete the files in the recent documents folder, you can run the Fixit described in the article. It would be easier for you.

can not clear 'my recent documents' drop files on the start menu
Can't erase my files in the 'My recent documents' from the drop down on the start menu
You didn't say what you tried to do (you did not also what version of Windows you have, including service pack level).
Assuming you have some variety of Windows XP, the usual procedure is to right-click on the Start button, select Properties, click the Start Menu tab, click the Customize button, then finally click 'Clear list' or if you use the XP Menu, click the Advanced tab, then click on "Clear list."
You can also use the FixIt tool in this article--> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307875
Post back if you have done this and the list is always filled.

Problems with media player and Streaming Online & Essentials
I didn't know where to post this because it concerns problems reading media downloaded and all media and streaming online. In other words, any media. I have now found my problem with the problem and that's coming from MS Essentials and becomes very disruptive. Carefully One I've ever had this problem and it's probably because it was not a free service, however, since I installed essentials the problem has worsened. Also on one of my computers, the update will start just randomly and all but shuts down the system. Yet once, never happened with care. If this problem persists I will launch essentials to another more compatible antivirus protection system. Moreover, it happens with all other types of media also like Real Player and i Tunes so it is not exclusive to WMP. All resolutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

To run a command as Administrator file, you must click on it & select run as administrator. Despite being connected with an Admin-level account, individual actions like yours needs as the run as Admin permission. This is the way Windows works.
You cannot add anything in a batch file to run as an administrator.
You will see the system's responses to your batch file by adding a last line containing just the word break [test]
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"File2.bat is to launch a web page which start machine"-Yes, I understand that. "" But using a batch file to do this isn't better than just sending them the URL shortcut to the Web page instead.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Wish only to send the file1.bat for users" - you must give them instructions to run as admin. Since the instructions are necessary in all cases, then you might as well keep it simple by sending them a shortcut in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder and url of msn [shortcut]. In your email, you can tell them to use the first shortcut [Startup folder] to get to the good copy of place and then * the second [msn url] in there, giving approval to the Admin when / if * it is called for.
Some target computers may have lower security settings [settings "UAC"] meaning permission Admin is not necessary, but since you do not know that in advance, you will have to warn that it may be necessary.
If there are multiple users on each computer only one of them has to do this on each machine. You must choose a user who is either an Admin user who knows the password for this computer. If you ask each individual user to do this, then only the first will be something to see; others may follow your instructions, but they will see that it has already been done and he can stop then.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It is difficult to tell many users on many different computers to do something. Some will ignore your instructions & do nothing. Some will try to comply, but will make mistakes. Some will do what you want. You won't know the results even if you ask them to email you back to let you know.

Where can I find the program files on the start menu?
Where can I find the program files that appeared when I clicked on the Start button in older versions of Windows?
I would definitely recommend getting the update: it solves a lot of problems and significantly accelerates things. But if you haven't yet done so, the option "All Apps" is nestled in a toolbar. You can right click on an empty area of your home page to display the toolbar.
