I suddenly lost Microsoft Powerpoint, Word and Excel: right click anywhere on the desktop or the folder > > New > > Excel or Word or Powerpoint. How to bring back this ability?
For a long time, I always made the following steps to create a new file in Word, Excel, Powerpoint, or Visio:
1 - right click anywhere on the desktop (or inside any folder)
2 Select 'new' from the context menu that is displayed > select Word (or Excel or...)
3 - Filename is [you are prompted for... and so on.
A few days ago this ability to disappear quietly. I did not have any new software installation or reconfiguration, other than the usual Windows updates (if there is one) and update MS Security Essentials.
How do I return this very useful feature?
Hello
You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I recommend a program called FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .
After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.
Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.
Let me know if this solves the problem for you.
Kind regards

If you right click on the bar at the top of the page in the browser, you can check and uncheck what bars appear. I accidentally disabled something there and now when I click I can't get any menu to double-check my menu on the right, State bars so that they are visible. Currently they are not visible, I have no way to move or change settings.
OK, got it fixed, I kept fishing around this site and found an answer. Press the Alt key and the menu bar appear temporarily, long enough to restore the bar to be visible.

How to stop multiple self-switching to the address bar every time I open a new tab and try typing something anywhere outside the address bar? As something just wants me to use this integrated search when you type something non-Web-address in the address bar and press to enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that happens repeatedly on as every second, as I just got off the address bar and start typing again, but still he passes me in the address bar, then 3, 4 times like that. And the result is that I don't see the address of this page.
I think that its has something to do with my AVG Antivirus, because it started the same time a Nation AVG started to appear in each new tab I opened (and which is irritating as me, I've read here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I don't want to lose all my settings) but when I type something in the address bar and press enter It opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I love Firefox but I have to switch to Chrome until I fix this.
Thanks in advance
First of all, please update Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support is not safe. So, let us know if you still have this problem. Update Firefox to the latest version
