• How to remove unwanted specific nonfirefox of toolbars - I can't do it via the start menu?

  I deleted programs as much as I can and cookies. I am trying to remove the store home Tools toolbar. I followed the instructions to remove in the menu 'Start' and 'Add or remove programs ". the shop at home program was not there. Please tell me what to do or not do.

  Shop at home
  
  #1 - ADDED EDIT: I just found the reference to the toolbar ShopAtHome, also named "Toolbar of Shopping smart"; that search in Control Panel > Add / Remove programs and then click on to remove/uninstall. Make sure Firefox is closed prior to the abduction, if it is there

  EDIT #2 - ADDED: I saw where there may be a file named SelectRebatesUninstall.exe on your computer in the location c:\program files\SelectRebates\. If you find, click/double click on the file and let me know the results.

  Have you looked into C:\Program Files for one or more folders named shop at home and/or select refunds and/or the Smart Shopping toolbar? If one (or both) are / are there, close Firefox (Firefox button > exit OR File > Exit), open the folder and look for a file named uninstall.exeand click/double click on this file uninstall.exe . Let me know your results.

  As I said, it is difficult to diagnose a problem remotely. We will continue to try to solve this problem.

• missing to stop options from the start menu

  Can someone please tell me how to get all the options on the start menu to close it has changed over the past week and shows just the icon arrow where I can choose only log off or lock and locking. to stop, I have to wait for th computer to disconnect and then when the screen saver appears click on the close button.

  When I use to close before that I would have the standby key who showed during updates would be installed before the computer turns off. This has disappeared and now I only have a lock icon and the arrow which only gives me the option to log on to the wide or lock. all other options have disappeared for some reason that I'm not able to choose to change username, stop hibernate sleep etc.

  How can I get all the options back a place hostel instead of having to wait for the newspaper off the power, then clicking on stop because I forget to close it because I think it is soing it automatically?

• How can I stop Windows Messenger from starting automatically

  I have never used Windows Messenger.  I recently bought / implement a system refurbished with XP Home - after about a month of use, the Herald began popping up automatically whenever I start the machine, or when I open Outlook Express (and immediately requires a screen name access code (whenever it starts, even if I gave him once to satisfy) (, so I have two things to cancel).

  As I say, he began to do this by himself without conscious action on my part, a few weeks after the introduction of the machine. I had an older XP machine for 6 years and never seen it happen.

  Two questions: 1) is this a normal behavior to require a name to screen EACH time it starts? I would have thought that it would save one associated with the connection.

  (2) how can I do to stop the automatic aperture? I don't necessarily want to kill-I can actually try to use it someday. I just that it quietly hide in the system tray, as it has always done before.

  To stop the Messenger to start with Windows:

  (1) right-click on the Windows Messenger icon in the system tray.
  2) click Open.
  (3) in Windows Messenger, click on tools, then click Options.
  4) click the Preferences tab.
  (5) in the preferences, uncheck the "run Windows Messenger when Windows starts" and "Allow Windows Messenger to run in the background", and then click Ok.

  To prevent Outlook Express from loading Messenger

  (1) open Outlook Express
  2) click Tools, Options
  3) click on general tab
  (4) uncheck the box to automatically log on to Windows Messenger
  5) click OK Microsoft Security MVP, 2004-2009

  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.

• New SSD, computer sleeps is no longer via the start menu

  An unusual question came after switching to a Solid State Drive.  Before this problem did not exist.

  As it currently stands on that I can't put my computer on standby by clicking 'start' then 'sleep '.  However, I CAN put my computer to sleep by changing Power Options/edit Plan Settings/mis the computer in sleep: 1 min.
  Things I've tried:
  BIOS update, drivers etc. Vid card.
  Made sure the S3 has been enabled in the BIOS
  Unplug all external and USB devices
  Made sure that in the Advanced Options of the power that nothing was preventing the computer from sleep mode
  When I try to put my computer on standby menu start my screen turn off, and my wired mouse USB turns off lights.  Clicking in this semi State - sleep screens back on and the computer is ready for use.
  As I said, the only thing I changed was cloning of my HARD drive for an SSD, nothing else.
  System Spec: http://i.imgur.com/5Eb4d.jpg
  Thanks in advance and let me know if you need me to post any other relevant information.
  P.S. I worked on it for 3 hours and I use this forum as a last resort.

  Thanks for the suggestions, but I managed to solve it on my own.

  Here's what I did:
  1 Open command with administrator privileges prompt
  2. Type "powercfg.exe hibernate on" and press enter
  and that's all...
  I guess when I changed hard drives that sleep is lacking in a sort of hybrid sleep (fans and lights on), not the complete S3 state than I was used to.

• How can I hide some folders from start menu to certain groups of users on Windows 7?

  Our company has a record in our record system which Start Menu contains all the administrative and user management tools. Recently, we noticed that our other members of the staff (Standard users) can access this folder. It concerns us because the 'Administrators' folder contains Applications such as the command prompt and a shortcut to the center of disk management. Is there a way we can hide this folder in the Start Menu? Our employees are organized in groups that correspond to their service, in order to hide the folder from several groups of users would be helpful.

  Thank you

  Chris

  Do not put in the folder all USERS with access to... (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu) and put only in the user profiles you want (C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu)

  Without other warranty in place, your users can simply press the LOGO WINDOWS + R and type CMD or diskmgmt.msc to do the same thing for the security of the solution of darkness here will help prevent tripping over.  Google is his friend for such things.  ;-)
