  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  You can change the icons of the folders and add images.

  All my Windows programs have disappeared from the start menu.  I was playing with the option hidden files on some of my shirts.  I followed the suggestions of another post on changing the property of my programs to uncheck hidden and which did not help.  Any suggestions?

  Restore point:

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

• Some icons on the start menu are missing after a remote desktop session in Windows 7

  I use Win7 Pro SP1 and whenever I come back to my office after finishing a session desktop connection to my computer remotely, I noticed several of the icons in the all programs from the Start Menu section changed to default page icons. If I try to open any programs that are pinned to the start itself, it will indicate that the program cannot be found. Notepad and Calculator in particular to keep more victims of this problem.

  I also noticed that the audio controller is disabled until I restart.

  I found a batch file that will rebuild the icon cache, but this very annoying to have to keep doing it because I have to remote into my computer almost every morning for the daily scrum meetings we hold in a conference room.

  Does anyone know a permanent fix?

  What did you do last before this happened?

  It looks like someone may have maliciously tampered with your computer.

  Take a look in your trash and see what you can find.

  If they are not there, try to download and run this program:

  He'll pick up things that have been deleted from the Recycle Bin.

  Be forewarned, it will probably work for a long time.

• Start menu up: How do I remove programs from the Start Menu

  Please tell us how can I remove programs from the Start Menu.  In other words, I seem to have many programs starting to run, when I start my PC.

  Thank you

  Try this program to change the start:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
