• Start menu doesn't have not of recent programs

  My Start menu has 2 items checked to store and display recently opened programs. BUT the list of programs displayed is NOT a list of programs recently open.

• When I start typing in the upper right search box, after a few letters are typed, a menu drops down with choice. When I click on a choice, it does not appear in the search box and I have to type it myself.

  When I use the search box at top right and start typing a word/words when the menu of possible choices appears and I click one I want, nothing happens. It is not automatically put in the box as he used to and I have to type everything.

  You have the extension installed Google toolbar?

• Start menu doesn't return to the view of Vista

  Hello.  I am very new to this forum thing and I think that this problem is easy to solve rather than to pay $60 support solve for me.

  I started my computer until this afternoon and a necessary for download through Microsoft Windows Update.  I had to leave so I clicked on "Download updates and then stop the icon" on my Start Menu in Vista.  When I am back, I restarted my computer and my Start Menu is in classic mode.  I read through some of the emails here and couldn't find one that related to my problem.  How to move to Vista Start Menu?  I know that it is possible, because all users on my PC have the Vista Start Menu.

  Here's what I've tried so far:
  (1) right-click right properties and start menu.  Click on the menu start, customize and hit by default... nothing.
  (2) restart... nothing.

  All the tips are greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much.

  HI fur13

  Thanks for posting your question.

  (1) right-click right properties and start menu.  Click on the start menu.
  Under the Startmenu, there are two options

  • Start menu
  • Classic Start menu

  Check the ' option which is not select, apply, click Ok and you're done.

  Also I'm not sure what you are referring to so just a Word.
  If you're talking about this button and this button does not appear as it is given in the picture. I would like to know, please try to explain as much as you can.

• My Start Page for Firefox doesn't have one more box to typing me my research in. What happened to the box?

  What happened to the search box, I type in? He disappeared on my Firefox Start Page.

  Yes. This is the new default value: Home home.

  Topic: home page only shows a few clips and has a button to restore the previous session, as appropriate.

  If you want a homepage with extras like previous versions of Firefox then put another page than the homepage like www.google.com such as used in versions of Firefox 3 or on the iGoogle homepage ([www.google.com/ig]).

• I would like to group programs in folders in the Start Menu as you have in XP

  In XP, you can go to the Menu in Windows Explorer to start and create folders to hold some programs. FOR EXAMPLE. you could make a folder called "Graphics", & place one of your graphic type in programs. This has helped keep your types of program together & orderly. It is still available in Windows 7, & if so, how do you?

  Bonser

  Follow this path.

  C:\Users\User start\program Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
  You will be able to create folders inside the start menu and put the items in there.
  Thanks :)

• command prompt in the start menu goes directly to the control box black small and not big box

  Page product HP supposed to go to the start menu and type command prompt and choose Run as administrator.  There was a break in the screen of the typical white box with blue borders with a list of options.

  I typed in it and click on command prompt and I immediately had the window of small black command promt.

  I had to end up with a box by C:\. SFC\ and type SCANNOW after the.

  I can only see C: \USERS\OWNER >

  How can I get the usual box of options?

  Hello viewerx. C: \USERS\OWNER is always the default value in Windows Vista or later, even if you change it manually. You try to perform a file system check? If so, the command is "sfc/scannow" without the quotes.

  If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm only here to help!

• Start menu Windows 7 lack of dialog box run; At the same time Star right Click of the mouse symbol does not work; more...

  This will provide some background: for several months, I had problems with Windows 7 (could not start normally, had to use the Safe Mode Networking - finally adjusted msconfig/services and began to access Windows normally - time during Safe Mode, I've resorted to the restoration of the system, tried twice, failed.) However, just 'try' restore, discovered many files, including the .dll was corrupt Restore execution.

  Currently cannot run Flash Player (current) v16.0.0.235. Exactly, I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, all to nothing done. Script errors are no longer constant, in order to be in line continues to be a nightmare. Menus in the program are not normal, just as text lists with no toolbar;  Half of my desktop program icons have the orange planet Firefox, not with the program icon or custom icon which they are responsible; the Start Menu appears now abbreviated, for example, that run the box is suddenly absent (access very important to me).

  Incidentally, I also have problems with Firefox and, above all, bookmarks in Gmail. As for the latter, I don't know if this is an integral part of I'm having problems with Windows, or as a result of the fiasco of ShockWave (Flash Player).

  Any help would be wonderful! Whether extensive or complex, step by step would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance...

  Hi lady,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

  According to the description of problem I can understand that you have difficulties running windows in normal mode, to access the computer in mode normal, you have to enter the mode safe mode with networking, perform the clean boot by msconfig to access normal mode and all your icons on the desktop has a symbol of Firefox instead of having the symbol of the actual program. Don't worry, we'll guide you to get the problem resolved.

  This problem occurs mainly because of the malware infection. I suggest you follow the below mentioned methods and check if it solves the problem.

  Method 1

  Malware scanner

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Warning: 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.

  Note: After running malware scan I suggest you to restart the computer, and follow method 2.

  Method 2

  Difficulty of file association

  A file association associates a file with an application capable of opening that file. More commonly, a file association, is a class of files (usually determined by their file name extension, such as .txt) associated with a corresponding request (for example, a text editor). A file association is a relationship between a file type and application of support. For example, a Word document can be associated with Microsoft Word. After removing some malware tends to corrupt the file, to your computer.

  Let him follow me fixit myself article in the article below.

  Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

• Intermittent start menu problems

  Win 7 loads normally. Two things happen. Start menu displays the control panel search box, pulls a string of points in the search box, when I click on the done start button the same thing. This problem happens about 50% of the time.

  Hello

  It would be a good idea to run the System File Checker tool to check that everything is correct in the system files.

  "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

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

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

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

  See you soon.

• [Solved] Windows 7 start menu search work does not correctly

  Hello
  I hope you guys can help me with the following:
  As I removed (through the registry) libraries in Windows 7 (see notice at the bottom) I can't find common things such as 'cmd' 'Notepad' or 'calc (tab'ulator)' find the programs installed in the search from the start menu, but CAN FIND paths like C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe. Research in the Solution Explorer window is not affected by this problem. If I try to search for example "cmd" in the search for the start menu it says "no element not corresponding to your research." When I click on "See more results" it shows This popup (click here). So I restored the registry keys, but it will not work correctly again.

  FYI: I tried several things to solve this problem but never fixed it:
  -see if the Windows Search service and Indexing Service are running (> Yes, auto-start)
  -rebuild the index (it indexes 2 additional partitions on my hard drive, C:\Windows, C:\Users, C:\Program Files (x 86)------and standard folders like the Start Menu)
  -Uninstall and reinstall Windows Search and Indexing Service (via Windows turn on or off features in the control panel > programs and features)
  -delete the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search
  -Tools Microsoft FixIt
  -Troubleshooting (also the problems search and indexing)
  -create new user account

  I forgot something? If so, I'll tell you as soon as I remember.

  Can anyone help me please with my w/out problem suggesting to reinstall Windows?

  I use Windows 7 x 64 HomePremium SP1 on a
  AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor 4200 + 2.42 GHz with
  4.00 GB of RAM and 500 GB HARD drive (partitioned into 3 disks).

  Notice:
  In order to delete the libraries I removed/edited these registry keys:
  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\ {2112AB0A-C86A-4ffe-A368-0DE96E47012E}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\ {491E922F-5643-4af4-A7EB-4E7A138D8174}]

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
  "{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}" = -.

  I found a solution by myself.
  If you have the same problem I had (really the same with above registry keys), just download this file: https://www.mediafire.com/?s4bt0447gk426r6 inside you will find 3 .reg files:
  -to restore the registry keys and resolving the problem of search in the menu start
  -through libraries in the start menu folders 'normal '.
  -to cancel the passage of libraries in normal files.

  To have no problem trying to merge "undo_rem_libs.reg", first give yourself permissions (full control!) of the HKCR\CLSID\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5} key by right-clicking on it > permissions... > advance > owner (tab) > click on your username > OK > again once, click your user name (this time in the 'group or user names') > check 'Allow' in the full control row > OK.
  That's all! Now you can merge the .reg for restoring above file (see problem) removed key strings with the just installed new Windows 7 original data.

  The other .reg files in the archive must be explicit.

  / Edit:
  NOTICE: this works on all versions 32 and 64 bit of Windows 7 (not tested on Windows 7 Starter).
