My Administrative Tools folder is empty, what happened

I don't know when this happened. My computer is slow, so I was going to defragment, nothing in the folder.

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/137512-administrative-tools-restore-shortcuts.html

Disk Defragmenter is not in the Administrative Tools folder.

http://www.pchelpforum.com/Windows-tutorials/106801-how-defragment-your-hard-drive-Windows-Vista-Windows-7-a.html

Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

cCleaner also comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  • Admin tools folder is empty.

    A few months ago, I managed to get a rogue virus on my computer hard drive. Ive tried a few things so far but without success.

    Ive connected the antivirus avg, including a spyware remover, this had detected a little, but after this all my folders and files were still marked as hidden.
    After looking on these forums I have found someone who has a problem like I have, but they managed to get it fixed.
    From reading this thread, I've run rkill.exe and unhide.exe. After that, my folder in the start menu have returned but they all don't empty no icons in them.
    Now, I was about to use the recovery disk of windows xp sp3 for the first time, but when I took the package the disc is warped and distorted and will not read.
    Anyone have an idea how I can get the admin tools back? There was something changed in the parameter in there which prevents me from going to the line.
    My features are-
    Dual AMD Athlon 64 X 2
    Core Processor 6000 + 3.10 GHz
    2.00 GB of RAM
    Any info would be greatly appreciated thank you.
    Dave.

    Start Regedit.exe and navigate to the following locations one by one:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------Explorer------user Shell folders

    - and -

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------Explorer------shell folders

    Delete the value named common administrative tools (if any).
    Close Regedit.exe and restart Windows.

    See if the shortcut in the Administrative Tools folder is restored. If this is not the case, see Solution 2 below.

    The utility AdminTools (~ 8 kb) restores the missing shortcuts to the Administrative Tools folder.

  • The folder administrative tools devoid of orders for the print spooler problem that is stopped.

    I could not install my printer because the spooler is stopped.  According to Windows help, the problem can be solved by administrative tools.  But the biggest problem is: the Administrative Tools folder contains anything other than "Windows SuperShell Modules.  The Service order through which is accessible the print spooler service is NOT there.  Is there another way I can make the spooler running?

    Hi francisco a.sanchez,.

    I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  • How to enable administrative tools that has mysteriously disabled?

    Original title: administrative tools

    All items in administrative tools have mysteriously been disabled. How can I activate all? If all goes well, not one at a time! Y at - it a "Default Setting" routine, or I have to allow each element separately?

    Thank you

    Joe Killmann

    What does "disabled" for you?

    Are mysteriously missing or mysteriously disabled administrative tools?

    If you go into Control Panel, completely missing the Tools folder administration, or is there but empty?

    What do you think has happened since the last time things worked correctly?

    I find that Microsoft hired 'expert' technician support ideas that can help you from:

    "Method 1", to avoid the administrative tools shortcuts in the Panel that you copy and paste.  Administration tools belong in the Administrative Tools folder - not in the control panel.

    Regarding the "method 2", you don't describe symptoms compatible with a need to run sfc/scannow.

    In addition, the System File Checker don't know or don't care shortcuts to administration tools (or indeed all the shortcuts) or whether they are enabled or not.  It's not what they did System File Checker, this isn't how it works and it's not what it is for.

    It's just another committed Microsoft Support Engineer 'expert' wild goose chase.  Suggesting he looks like to say "I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it.

    But maybe you'll get lucky.

  • Menu administration tools is missing from the Start Menu of Vista

    I don't know how or when that happened, but today when I opened the whole start, the administration tools option menu was missing.  I went into the folder program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Démarrer\Programmes and the Administrative Tools folder was there with all its contents. Yet it does not appear when you click on the Start button.  Any ideas what the cause and healing can be?

  • In the Control Panel administrative tools is empty. What can I do to restore it?

    I had a virus not so long ago. all our photos and documents are missing. I can't do windows updates. all the remedies online point to a permissions problem. to verify the permissions, I went to administrative tools and it is empty.

    Hi David,

    1. you receive an error code or message?

    2. have you made any recent hardware or exchange of software on your computer before the show?

    I suggest you follow the methods and mark the question below:

    Method 1:

    Please, start your computer in Safe Mode with networking to see if the same problem occurs.

    Startup options (including safe mode):

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Method 2:

    Scan your computer by using the Microsoft Security Scannerby clicking Download now to check if there is no virus infected:

    http://www.microsoftsafetyscanner.com/

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 3:

    I suggest you to perform SFC (System File Checker) analyze and check if TI the problem persists. To do this, please see the following article.

    The SFC/SCANNOW command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7 system files:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 4:

    Try to create a new user account and check with the question.

    Create a user account:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/create-a-user-account

    If the problem is resolved then try to fix the user profile damaged.

    The difficulty of a user profile is corrupted:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    It will be useful.

  • What happened to the tab with the sign + to create an empty tab?

    I recently upgraded to v3.6 through several versions of Firefox v8.01. There was once a small tab with a sign more at the end of the tab bar that allowed me to create a new empty tab. It seems to have disappeared somewhere beyond v4.0

    What happened and how I get it back? Yes I know I can activate the button of toolbar for a new tab, but have it at the end of the tab bar is more natural to use.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • What happens if the administrator changes the password without going 'in' a new password?

    What happens if the administrator changes the password without going 'in' a new password? I think I've changed my password, then returned to add a hint, but who has not to enter a password and confirm it. How windows 7 would react to this. He now tells me the I just changed password is incorrect.

    The new password is now empty.

    It would be a good time to plan in advance and create, test and the paper has a Director of spare, even you have a spare House key. Surely you don't want to take the risk of setting locked out by relying on a single administrator account.
