Menu start a username like mine and a Public default - is a problem of security and safety?
I want to secure my PC as much as possible. I had a pirate that I had to pay an expert to check out it. Now, I try to learn more about my PC. When I go to the System Configuration and then tap tools and then look in system information and then expand software environment and click program groups - I see not what follows, and I want to know if the - access Public is correct and what is it? And it is a threat to security?
My Start Menu has a Public Start Menu name and a user name Public as he looks and a "defect".
Start a Public programs: programs on the Start Menu
Public's early Menu\Program\Accessories: Star Menu\Program accessories
There is a Menu\Programs\Administrator Public: start
Now; I have mine listed as well and also a 'default', I need to fix this? If I please give me instructions step by step. Thank you

Hello coldtoes10 a welcome to the forum of Microsoft.
It doesn't matter its content in your menus, but if you want to be sure it's something I can do
one of the following will improve your security greatly,
First off get your firewall in bulk to the top ethical hackers are paid to hack to help you improve your security
never do anything on an open wy - fy. buy a router, when you configure the network goto this site and create a network password
http://www.random.org/passwords/
30 digits should do
15chiffres of computer passwords, 45 figures to break is almost impossible
10 digits for all online accounts
then on the Internet, don't spread your IP instead use Tor navigation Pack your completely anonymous being online
then read a ton of books on security Internet here are just a couple
If you want to be proud look high-tech in your firewall, Spike
{note: spike is notorious of very effective malicious code entering your firewall}
Good luck

My computer has a black screen and a cursor and there is no menu start more
Original title: replay Vista operating system
What I would like to know, is my computer only has a black screen and a cursor, there is no menu start, so I can stop and start a new installation of windows vista? If anyone can help please. I thank you very much for your time and have a fantastic day. Shawn
Hello
What changes have been made on your machine for there to be a black screen with a cursor?
Rather than doing a clean install of your operating system, I suggest you do the following.
Step 1:
Remove all external devices (printer, USB flash drive), as appropriate, and start your computer again and check.
Step 2:
If this is little help, start your machine in safe mode and check if it starts on the desktop.
Let us know the status of the issue.

I have laptop model Dell XPS. This is the start time increases by nearly 15-20 minutes approximately.
When I turn on the laptop computer, a black screen continue for 5 min. and then it displays the login screen. After entering the username and password it takes 10 min. until the screen is displayed and a circle begins to run on the icon network in the bottom right of the laptop screen as shown below:
You can see run circle right next to the icon of volume and during that time, I can't even open the Windows Explorer.
I have to wait until this stop running for the next 5 to 8 min.
I tried to clean the useless/content files using CCleaner software, but nothing happened.
What should I do now.
Do I have to format the laptop. In fact I already format the laptop 4 - 5 times earlier.
Thank you

I am trying to download acrobat pro dc creative use of clouds packer. It fails every time. It seems like PAC and do the package, but then when I try to install (acrobat pro dc) nothing happens. Installation starts but there no acrobat pro CD is installed.
Hi Pavle,
The installer for Acrobat is different from the rest Cloud Creative applications that is why when you create a package by using Creative Cloud Packager, there are two folders created:-
(1) build-->> all upward for all Applications of Cloud Creative except Acrobat.
(2) exceptions-->> Contains for Acrobat and the Muse.
You will need to install Acrobat first through the Exceptions folder. Select the option to install as a trial or a subscription.
Then install the creative rest of Cloud applications through generation file, it will install the applications and your copy of Acrobat license also.
I hope this helps!
Thank you

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".

Windows Live Family Safety - menu start closes
I have recently installed Windows Live Family Safety on two desktop computers. Menus to start the computer both are now practically unusable. The start menu closes / disappears in the opening moments. It took several attempts to be fast enough to click on start, then on the button restart button.
After many attempts, I was able to open the control panel. In the Parental controls window, down under additional controls. I changed the selected provider of Windows Live Family Safety to zero. Without even closing the window of Parental control, the start menu resumed its normal operation. When I cycle between zero and Windows Live Family Safety menu start immediately works or does not work according to the configuration.
Given that he is on both computers is a setting in WLFS or this, I chose a big bug that makes unusable WLFS? (Hard to believe)
All windows updates have been applied and multiple reboots have been attempted.
I would like to use the product and would appreciate any help.
The issue seems to have resolved itself. I don't know if WLFS needed to synchronize with a server, or which solved the problem. When I came back to this computer the next day, however, the start menu was working fine.
Although this is resolved itself, I found mention of this issue in an online journal of magazine and in another forum of responses, so I hope that Microsoft will continue to address the issue.

New session started with an advertising page and all my tabs are lost
New session started with an advertising page and all my tabs are lost. Restore the previous session is not active. How can I restore my tabs?
Great work!
Sessionstore.bak files are ancient, probably autour time that you have installed Firefox 33 when the sessionstore-backup folder has been added.
To try using one or more files in the sessionstore-backup folder, here is the process:
(1) exit Firefox and it must create a sessionstore.js from the main level of the profile folder file.
(2) rename sessionstore.js to sessionstore.old file, or if you think that you will ever need, delete it.
(3) copy in recovery.js or previous.js and rename sessionstore.js.
(4) start Firefox then try to restore previous Session. Those are the tabs you want? If this isn't the case, you can try one of the other files in your backup sessionstore-backup.
If none of the files has the missing tabs, you could try a recent Windows restore point. It's more complicated on Windows 8 on Windows 7, and you could benefit from using a third-party utility. These have been mentioned in another thread:
Or... I read on a roundabout way to get previous Versions on the Properties dialog box in Windows 8. I can't test it myself, but here's what you do:
In the address bar of your Windows Explorer dialog box, replace the current path with the following and press ENTER:
\\localhost\c$
Then click at the end and nail on the following (with your user name) and press ENTER:
\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
That should help you in the vicinity of your profile folder. Then you can right-click sessionstore.js > properties > Previous Versions, or try one of the files in sessionstore-backups.

Even thought is selected the option ' when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time "I always have the default page of Firefox.
Hi Goldie_,
I guess you don't watch this page when you closed Firefox last time. Also that you are not in private, correct navigation mode? Looks like it is maybe a problem with Firefox being able to save your file pref.js. You should try the steps listed in the preferences section that won't save trouble. Try and let me know how it goes.
Hope this helps!
