Location of the menu 'start '.

Stupid question -? My "Start" menu & icons, usually along the bottom of the desktop, went down on the bottom, to (vertically) the right side. Don't know what I was doing, how can I get that back to the bottom of the screen -?

Hello

Right click, make sure the taskbar 'lock the taskbar' is not checked.

Take the taskbar with a left click of the mouse and drag it to the bottom of the screen

I hope this helps.

  • Wrong icon in the Menu Start 10 Acrobat

    I have Acrobat X Pro on a new computer running Windows 10. Recently, I noticed that the Acrobat icon on my menu start changed the icon Photoshop PS. When I click it, it opens Acrobat, but it is the icon of the PS on the taskbar. When I go to the location of the application in Windows Explorer, the .exe file has the correct Acrobat icon. If I create a shortcut on the desktop, the icon is also correct. When I pin the shortcut or .exe file in the menu start, however, it replaces the PS icon. When I right click and go to properties, the 'change icon' button is grayed out.

    While this does not seem to take into account the problems of functionality, it is annoying and I worry, it might be another matter. MalwareBytes scans turned up clean, but obviously I am concerned also with the possibility of a virus. I tried 'Repair Acrobat Installation' as well, but no luck.

    I don't know if this is something Acrobat or a problem of Windows 10, since it seems to happen only with the icon on the start menu. The only possibility I can think is that I had done research on some software manipulation of PDF for the client's work. I don't know if this has changed in some way of the icon. I uninstalled the software and the icon is always false. I know, he had problems with PDF being changed for Firefox symbols at the time, but PDF files are very well. It is only the Acrobat itself and only the icon on the start menu.

    In any case, I want to remove Acrobat before moving on to the search in Windows 10 as the culprit.

    Than you!

    I had the same problem and solved with the following workaround.  Detach your Launcher Acrobat in the task bar and create a new shortcut on the desktop of the "acrobat.exe" in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat (not from the start menu). Open this shortcut Acrobat and while it is open, PIN to the taskbar.  You can safely delete the shortcut on the desktop after it and the correct icon will stick.

  • Out of track in the Menu start flashing in the window that closes then (XP and W7)

    I send the output of this command: "ipconfig/all" to a developer to obtain a software license.  When I enter this command in run of the menu start, the output flashes briefly in a window on the screen and then closes.  I can't read the output as it closes so fast.  This has happened in XP and W7 in Fusion (versions 2 and 3).  In Parallels, the window did not close but remained on screen so that I could copy or captures screen information in an e-mail.  Does anyone have a work around for this?  Is this a bug of merger?  Thank you.

    It is certainly not a question of Fusion.

    What you need to do is type 'cmd' in Start Menu Run which will create a terminal window.

    Starting from that, windows command "ipconfig/all".

    Finally to complete it type "exit".

  • Do not open the Menu start XP programs

    I have an embarrassing question on which I could use some suggestions.

    I have a user whose start menu does not work properly.  She can click on start and cascade through the menu to any program, but when she clicks on the program to start it, delete the start menu and nothing happens.

    In the taskbar, it cannot switch between programs.

    Programs will launch quick launch as planned.

    On his desk, she can click on folders or shortcuts and that they work as expected.

    I copied the folder to the start menu to his office, and she is able to switch between open programs using the Alt - Tab key combination.  It has the features between these two solutions.  But, although other users do not start to his computer often, it affects all users.  I would like to find a solution.

    With respect to the environment and the measures taken:

    The operating system is Windows XP, Service Pack 3.  Yes, there are 3rd party applications.  A lot of them.  No, they cannot be deleted (and they are not suspects - later).  It is an environment of large companies in the financial sector and is highly regulated.  User authentication is via Active Directory.  The desktop environment is tightly controlled by the restriction of administrative rights and Group Policy objects.  This user and users in its region use roaming profiles.

    I have rebuilt the user profile (Yes, two copies - the and itinerant) more than once.  No effect.

    I have reimagee the computer of the user more than once.  It will work as expected for a few minutes, sometimes all day, but the issue will be back.

    I replaced the machine.  It will work as expected for a few minutes, sometimes all day, but the issue will be back.

    I replaced the machine in tandem with a reconstruction of profile.  It will work as expected for a few minutes, sometimes all day, but the issue will be back.

    It can connect to any other machine in its region and they all work as expected.  The machines are all the same image.  That's why the 3rd party applications are not suspected.  That's why his profile is not a suspect.

    So.  His profile is very good.  Its hardware is fine.  The image is stable.  The rest is its connection to the local network, but I have a hard time believing that something in its routing path might be the cause.

    I'm open to suggestion.

    Thank you

    Tommy

    We do some tests before a possible deployment was of Win 7 and have encountered a problem of Menu start which left us speechless.

When you look at the two folders that should be merged to display this menu, programs and missing files are present, but those that are listed in the user profile do not appear in the start--> list all programs from the Start button Menu.

    This may mean that you have over 70 entries in the two Start Menu > programs files. Try to click the Windows Orb (start), click all programs, and then click Open. Again right click all programs, and then click Open all users. Right-click the taskbar, and then click windows next door. Take a look in the two program records and if it has more than 70 entries, some of them combine or create subfolders. Right click on the task bar to cancel the side by side.

    Finally, using the Task Manager, terminate and restart Explorer or reboot the computer to refresh the list.

  • "' Just removed malware System Check, but the links lost for most of the programs in the menu start" all programs. "

    For example, I can open a drawing by clicking the .dwg file in CAD Solution Explorer, but in programs from starting, I can't open the program. When clicked on the link says "empty." Advice?

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-system-check

    If you're infected with system check it is important not to delete all files in your Temp folder or use of cleaning of temp file. It is because when the infection is installed, it will remove shortcuts found in various locations and store the backups of them in the %Temp%\smtmp folder. It does what you have when trying to launch a program in your Start menu, any of your shortcuts will appear and making it so you think that your computer has a serious problem. Therefore, if you do not want to delete all files in your Temp folder to delete the backups we use later in the guide to restore your Windows Start Menu. For a list of folders that the shortcuts are deleted and the corresponding directories where they are stored, see this topic: Unhide.exe - an introduction as to what made this program.

    To still do believe that your computer is not working properly, check system will make also as well as certain folders on your computer screen without content. With the opening of these files, such as C:\Windows\System32\ or various drive letters instead of see the list of files that it goes to the contrary to view the contents of a different file or make it seems as if the folder is empty. This is done to make believe that there is corruption on your hard drive which causes your files to not be displayed. It does this by adding the + H, or hidden attribute to all of your files, which causes your files become hidden. It will then change your Windows settings so that you cannot view hidden and system files. Once the rogue process is completed, you can enable the setting display the hidden files, and be able to review your files and folders, by following the instructions in this tutorial:
