  I just upgraded to winXP Pro win98se. After doing so I discovered there are no ads for tabs "System Restore, disk cleanup, Disk defrag, scheduled tasks or System Info ' not listed in the"System Tools"menu, but the others are. I also noticed he wasn't an App icon. "Security system" in the control panel. I installed SP2 to try for a fix, but later he installed only the "security system" App.  I find 'rstrui.exe' in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Restore folder, but when I click it, nothing happens.

• The start menu and taskbar does not appear.

  original title: the start menu and taskbar does not appear.  IM on windows 7.  Any help please?

  The start menu and taskbar does not appear.  IM on windows 7.  Any help please?

  You can try to leave Explorer yourself.  Here's how:

  1. Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
  2. On the file menu, choose new task.  Type explorer.exe and press ENTER.  The taskbar and the desktop should appear.

  However, this is not a permanent solution.  My best advice to you would be to use the system restore to go back to one hour before the beginning of the question.  This restoration process takes about 2 minutes and will not lose one of your folders: it restores only the settings from the system to a point in time that you choose (you can 'come back' as little as a few hours or several weeks).

  To do a test, follow the steps below.  I guess that you are unable to reach the taskbar for the following steps:

  1. Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
  2. On the file menu, choose new task.  Type rstrui.exe (this name is for 'restore user interface').  When you click OK, the system restore should start.
  3. Through the system restore program, you will choose a time to come back. When you have completed the program, your computer will restart with the settings at this time.

  Please let me know if it helps.

• When I log in the background screen of Windows XP appears, but the icons, start menu and taskbar do not appear. What should I do?

  To start my computer upward as usual and takes me to open a session. I connect and my background appears, however my desktop icons, start menu and taskbar DO NOT appear. I can still access the Task Manager and command prompt, but when I try to use a command, absolutely nothing is happening, leaving this method of system recovery is not possible. What should I do?

  bleedorange1998,
  Thanks for posting with us.  I suggest try to start safe mode and see if it works correctly.  If Yes, then you can start using the "last known good configuration."   If in Safe Mode, you have the same problem, you should run chkdsk /r and sfc/scannow.  Here are the instructions for these suggestions.  Post back with the results.

• Start menu and white disappeared from tasks

  Hello

  recently, my internet explore and google chrome said that they were not able to work. So I searched online how to solve the problem, but now have a new. After you follow the steps, my Start menu and taskbar went white, I can't connect to my internet with various other things. How can I fix it?

  Windows key is the key of Windows flag located at the bottom left of your keyboard between the Ctrl and ALT keys

  Have you tried to restart the services using the directions that I listed above.

  Perform a restore of your system if it is still impossible to start the system restore.  No other alternative.

  Disconnect all external devices - printer, speakers, microphone, etc...

  Start > in the search bar, type Recovery > select Recovery Manager

  Turn the system power off, reboot and start typing the key F11, F10 or F8 (depends on your system brand) to bring up the recovery screen

  Good luck

• HP Start Menu and the desktop icons for HP printer Diagnostic tools

  Hello world

  I have a HP Desktop F4440 all-in-one printer and I use the Windows XP operating system. I have all the scanning software and others installed from the original HP installation disk or updates from the HP Web site for this printer. Everything works very well at the moment, but there is a small problem. The HP icon shortcuts for the Menu start-up and functions for the printer changed to a generic icon at a time given to these two places after the software installation CD was used by me to install the printer programs or desktop icon HP to utilities "Diagnostic Tools HP printer" original. It works fine otherwise, when I want to go check something on the Tools of diagnosis HP printer or HP Solution Center, but the HP icon changed to a generic at a time for a reason unknown, inexplicable. I don't have no changes to my system until the problem occurred to my knowledge other casual upgrade for the operating system or install a new windows update or HP software updates or restart the computer, but some schooner point after one of these upgrades, HP put to date or restart the HP start menu and desktop icons time replaced by a generic.

  Can someone tell me how I can recover the original HP icon and get her back Amendment? It was an icon on the web since the HP printer Diagnostics utility or function is based on the web. Is there a way I can save a copy of just the file on my computer icon so that if it goes back to that generic again once I can more easily change what it is supposed to be? I thank very you much for your help and advice.

  Hi there yoseph13,

  What has happened to me too, but after a windows update. Half the icons on my desktop have been affected. I hope that this fix works for you as well. Right-click on the icon. Go to properties. Click Change icon. Select the icon and click ok then apply and ok again. If the icon does not appear, you will need to navigate to the folder of the software and select the application.

  Good luck!

• JumpLists disabled; 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is greyed out

  My option 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is grayed out. Are also grayed out any mention of "jumplists" system (i.e. the number of items to display in the jumplists). Have I inadvertently disabled this feature? If so, how can I return it?

  Hi, landonblaine:

  When the option store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar is disabled and grayed out, it is a symptom that two Windows fonts are applied to your system.

  Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsMenu value set to 1, delete it. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsHistory value set to 1, remove it as well.

  Repeat the same steps in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key (it cannot exist).

  Restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience
