  HIDDEN PIN TO THE MENU SHORTCUT START

  How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu? This problem occurs very simply but does not quite simply. I've pinned a shortcut to the Start Menu before you uncheck the hidden attribute (knew I had) causing the shortcut to be recorded without being visible. When I tried to pin it again I was alerted to his presence by the fact that the second pinning made an extension of title (2). When I tried to change the title, I received the message that a link of this title was already present. I don't want to stay as a situation lasting this is why I need instructions on how to change it. I could just change the title of the second pinning something close but different but then I would have two shortcuts to the same program pinned on my Start Menu, without being able to be removed. I just * because if I can tell. I could uninstall the program and then run another program looking for broken shortcuts to 'fix' and then (I guess that means deletion when they can't be 'fixed') but I would like to avoid the extra steps for pedestrians to the advantage of learning a new technique of Windows if such jurisdiction exists. Could use this help as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you.

  Just tested myself and my shortcut is there.

• 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.

  ... 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...

  This seems to be a little corruption in the history of the document, but first check your Recent Documents . You decided to keep it a secret, your version of Word so here are a few tracks for Word 2007.

  With Word open to a blank document, click the Office button , then click on Word Options in the lower right. Select Advanced from the list on the left and scroll down to the section display halfway, the right pane. Check the next number of show this number of recent documents: to ensure that it is above zero. If it is zero, to increase the number to something you want to keep, and then click OK at the bottom right.

  If the show this number of recent documents: setting was already above zero, there may be a small file corruption in historical data. Frequent data section the Jump lists are stored in this folder,

  Click Start or press the Windows key and type or the location of the folder in the program files , then click on paste . Then, find and delete the fle

  Who must provide recent documents for Word Launcher in the Start Menu. If you can't find the file, try to clear all the files and restart the computer. Subsequent use of Word and other added elements should repopulate the lists.

• 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.

• Windows Live Mail does not present as an option for default programs or in the Start Menu.

  Something happened this week. I can't identify enough exactly when so I can't say with certainty whether or not it is the new update of 2011.

  I use Windows Live Mail (desktop application) for the mail. It is installed and since I built the machine first. I've recently updated for 2011 through Windows Update. In the Start Menu, the default e-mail link no longer works. If I go to customize, I have the options of Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, and Outlook. If I select Windows Live Mail, it launches a web browser to go to live.com and use Hotmail (which I don't use).

  Now, if I choose Windows Mail, and then re - open Windows Live Mail manually, I can set it by default. In this case, when I go back into the Start Menu, the link is there but empty and you get a message that "the selected item is not available. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. You want to remove from the list? "I can't get around that. Under "Default programs" in the Control Panel, Windows Live Mail is not yet there. It's as if she is not yet installed, and whatever the shortcut points to (wherever it may be) is apparently nothing. In the registry, under HKLM/Software/customers/Mail, there is no key for 'DLLPath' and "LocalizedString" as there are other programs.

  I must point out that repair installation does not help and neither does file and reinstalling.

  I managed to solve the problem.  I received an email from another user and I'm sorry to say, I do not remember what were the instructions in the email.  The answer to (y) our problem used to exist on the web, until Microsoft has removed the old answers live site, or something like that.

  IIRC, I believe that it was fixing the misdirected registry keys.

• Customize the "Programs" list in the start menu which will be held in the way I want

  On the Start Menu, under the "All programs" list, I want to be able to organize where shortcuts are stored and how they are organized.  I found out how switch to Classic view and do the old-fashioned way.  That took me so far. To illustrate, I don't want the set of displayed utilities kitchen sink.  This is absurd.  So I created folders that go something like this: Office-graphic tools, security tools, tools of money, Web tools, tools, etc.  Then the first time I put for example, Adobe Reader 8 under Web tools. I put Norton under Tools-security, etc.  This means that I don't have to sort through a Visual equivalent of a pile of linen on the floor to find what I need.  It is logically. (When I was finished, I went back in the menu "Classic start", in the Vista Start menu).  It was working fine.

  But that is the problem.  Classics view let me do it once, but now that I've updated programs, like I did just for Adobe Reader 9, he puts the shortcut at the top of the list, and he won't let me not drag in the folder I want, or customize any other way.  (Why not?  Users should be able to easily organize their own computer screen. For me, customization is not just by clicking on a list about whether or not he should display something. "It is to logically organize the way you want).  When I return to the classic menu, it does not show the Adobe Reader 9, or some of the other utilties that have been added to the list of programs and to show up when I go to "All programs" but are not where when I return to the option of classic menu-customize-Advanced to customize folders.

  Please advise me on how to customize the display, ideally in the version of Vista's Start Menu, instead of having to go back to the classic view, which now does not display the new shortcuts.  Thank you.

  Hi ibydesign,

  I know what you mean. Everyone has their own way of organizing and you should be able to logically group things where you want. Whose computer is anyway? There IS a way to organize your own stuff in Vista. If you right click on the button to start, then click on explore all users, it will open Windows Explorer in the (hidden) program data folder. Under Microsoft\Windows\Start Démarrer\Programmes you should see all the files and programs that you want to work with.

• I lost my games folder in the all programs folder in the start menu, how can I replace it (Win 7 Pro)

  If I remember correctly, I was playing solitaire spider on this computer about 1 year ago, but now I can't find the Games folder in the start menu. In the past, the record of the games was still installed automactically when I installed the operating system. Can it be restored or installed from a stand alone facility?

  Thank you

  When you go to start, type spider and see if it lists the game.  Otherwise, type appwiz.cpl and press ENTER.  Then click Add windows components, and then check out the games.  Sometimes, on Windows 7 Pro, they are disabled.

• Empty the program file on the start menu

  The program in my Start menu file is completely empty. I have no idea where the files that were there disappeared. I see a lot of them when I open the C"" drive. How to make their return in the program file?

  Hi RosemarySoltis,

  Check to see if you can locate your program under C:\Documents and Settings\ files\Start Menu\Programs.

• Where can I find the program files on the start menu?

  Where can I find the program files that appeared when I clicked on the Start button in older versions of Windows?

  I would definitely recommend getting the update: it solves a lot of problems and significantly accelerates things.  But if you haven't yet done so, the option "All Apps" is nestled in a toolbar.  You can right click on an empty area of your home page to display the toolbar.

  Do you mean that when you go to the menu to shut down the computer the day before by the button is completely absent or see you but but it is greyed out and unclickable?

  If none of these things happen, you can of course run the System File Checker and try safe mode if you want to, but I don't see where these ideas have something to do with your problem or you describe symptoms compatible with a need of either.

  I ask you a few general questions first and then watch your video drivers, but I'm not a connected Microsoft Support Engineer 'expert', so to see how these expert ideas work for you.

  I can assure you with certainty at 100%, that is running the System File Checker or Safe Mode will not give the right video drivers for your system.  Here are the desperate "I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it.
