In the Start Menu pin loses program Icon

Pavilion dv4-2145-dx Windows 7 Ultimate x 64.

I install a new program that puts an icon on the desktop.  I right click on the desktop icon and select Pin to the Start Menu.  When I click on the Start Menu, the icon has been converted with a default Windows icon.  By clicking on the appropriate program icon default access.  Right-click on the icon/properties by default displays the correct icon and if I click on change icon the icon displayed is the correct icon.

Any ideas as to why this icon is converted into an icon of windows by default and how to solve this problem of icon?

TIA

  • In Windows 7, don't right click on programs in the Start Menu gives no option.

    I just installed Windows 7 on my new PC.

    I want to be able to right click on the programs located in the Start Menu and different options available.  Now, if I click on a program listed in the Start Menu I get nothing ~ no menu appears.

    As a result, some of the things that I can't do are (1) pins a program in the Start Menu, pin (2) a program to the taskbar and (3) run a program as an administrator.

    If I right click on the same program located in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs".

    the right click menu is displayed and I can do all the functions that must be available by right clicking on the version of the program in the Start Menu.

    How do the right click on the programs located in the Start Menu works correctly?

    Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

  • Why are most of my grayed out icons and my programs do not appear in all programs on the start menu?

    My computer crashed the other day. I returned with a system restore. I have scanned for viruses. Now most of my icons (computer desktop and folders) is grayed out. When I click on "all programs" in the start menu, none is listed even though they are still on my computer and still work.

    Hi homeWJ,

    Method 1

    See the Microsoft article below to download and install the fix, check if it helps.

    When you point to "Programs" on a Windows XP-based computer, the program list does not appear, or the list of programs is empty

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/941248

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check if that helps.

  • Folder icon in all programs on the start menu

    I tried to change the icons of the folders in all programs on the start menu. But after that, it has been restored. Nothing is left.

    Hoping that windows can automatically display the icons of the programs installed on these files.

    Hello

    I understand that you want to change the icons of folders in the files shows all programs menu.

    You can change the icons of folders which are displayed in the file Explorer, but these changes will not be reflected in the access to the start menu.

    However, you can use some 3rd 3rd party apps that can help you to do the same.

    Note: 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.

  • 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.

  • Why the icons disappear from the Start Menu?

    The Start Menu has two regions: a region for applications whose icons are pinned to the Start Menu and two region, for applications whose icons are not pinnend to the start menu... the positions of icons these vary, depending on the frequency of use.

    Why in the region shortcut icons do not disappear into the Start Menu?
    They are not being "jostled" more low ranking... they stop just appear.
    Open an application can hand its icon at two area of the Start Menu,
    but then after a few days (maybe earlier), for example, the icon is missing.

    Thank you
    DaleB

    You already have the answer yourself.

    "The two region" can only hold x number of icons... Let's say 7.
    If you later open a 8th program, among the list of 7 will be "hit.
    I opened Windows DVD Maker. Later, I opened MS Excel. Windows DVD is moved from the list.

  • Microsoft Word pinned to the Start Menu do not open the menu in the right sidebar

    With Excel in my Start menu when I put my cursor over them or click on the right arrow all my pinned documents appear.  Microsoft Word used to do that, but now nothing happens if I put my cursor over them or click the right arrow.  He worked and suddenly stopped.  Any suggestions?  All other start icons show documents pinned and recent programs or non-Microsoft.  I tried to remove it and then put it back and restarted my computer and tried again, neither worked.  Thank you.

  • Add a program installed in the Start Menu

    The Kindle for PC application appears pinned at the top of the Start Menu, but not in the menu below.

    I would like to "unpin" it but want to be able to access it from the Start Menu.

    The help file is no help.

    Sorry, there is a misunderstanding: you can put a program in the menu all programs.  I thought that you wanted to put in the box above that.

    If you want to put in the menu all programs, here's how:

    1. Click all programs and choose open
    2. Drag the icon into the folder that appears (as you say, it's like Windows 95/98)

    It should put there when the program is installed, but the Setup program takes this decision, some programs do not, others give the user a choice.
