pin the start menu website

There are three sites listed in my Start Menu that are incorrectly typed. Attempts to remove them as usual absolutely no results. They just sit there, constantly, aggravatingly using space that I prefer to use for something else.

Is it possible to withdraw outside the right click and click on delete from the list that does not work on this pc.

Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium.

Hi again!

Please start by back up the registry. How you do that, that is described here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/backup-registry-windows-7.htm

Then, create a restore point. How you do that, that is described here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/create-a-restore-point
Now you can try it without risk of finding the registry entry.
Type regedit in the search in the start menu and choose regedit.exe by clicking on it.
You are now in the registry editor.
On the left side under the computer, click on the small arrow next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER to expand a list of items. Search for software and to extend it again by clicking on the small arrow next to him. Now search Microsoft, it redevelop and image search for Windows. Expand it and look for the current Version. Expand it and seek to explore. Expand it and look for Startpage2.
Note: on the bottom of the window, the following path should now appear: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage2

Now, left-click on the 2 home page and search Favorites in the right part of the window. Click on, and then choose delete all values starting with 'Favorites '.

Now your StartMenu must be empty, and you can begin to pin anything you want here.

I hope this helps!

See you soon

  • Pin a network to the start menu shortcut

    Everyone figured out how to pin a netwrok to the start menu shortcut?  I tried to do it the way they say it, right click and select PIN to start menu, but the option is not there for programs on the network.  I was able to find Documents and Settings/User/StartMenu and I dropped the military in there, but they are not yet appearing on the start menu.  Help, please.

    Create a folder on your desktop called networking programs or files, and then drag the icons for the files or programs in there.  You can then create a new toolbar by right-clicking on the taskbar, go to toolbars and add the new toolbar.  From there, all just point to your folder on your desktop and the appropriate files will appear in your taskbar tasks.  It's not pretty, but it works.

  • How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu?

    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.

    You care to offer up what version of Windows, you are talking about but if it's Windows 7, I would right-click on the offending list and either:

    2. Delete the Start Menu if the entry is pinned in the Start Menu (above the most recent / most often used).
  • Automatic scrolling of the list of favorites on the start menu to stop before you reach the bottom

    I open the start menu, point the mouse on the Favorites bar and keep the cursor under the small arrow pointing down at the bottom of the list of favorites, as well as the list of bookmarks automatically scrolls down. But after scroll down a number of bookmarks, automatic scrolling stops before reaching the bottom of the list of favorites, view the rest of the empty list. I removed a lot of unnecessary bookmarks in the Favorites folder in Documents and Settings, but this does not resolve the issue. I would like suggestions for this problem, which I have not come across so far. I ran CHKDSK disk cleanup and defragged the volume of disk hard, but in vain. I have Windows XP Pro SP 3 with IE8 installed on my computer.

  • Why the icons disappear from the Start Menu?

    The Start Menu has two regions: a region for applications whose icons are pinned to the Start Menu and two region, for applications whose icons are not pinnend to the start menu... the positions of icons these vary, depending on the frequency of use.

    Why in the region shortcut icons do not disappear into the Start Menu?
    They are not being "jostled" more low ranking... they stop just appear.
    Open an application can hand its icon at two area of the Start Menu,
    but then after a few days (maybe earlier), for example, the icon is missing.

    Thank you
    DaleB

    You already have the answer yourself.

    "The two region" can only hold x number of icons... Let's say 7.
    If you later open a 8th program, among the list of 7 will be "hit.
    I opened Windows DVD Maker. Later, I opened MS Excel. Windows DVD is moved from the list.

In my effort to move some of the files, a new appeared folder also named 'Programmes', which seemed to be a duplicate in the program file, so I removed it. When I did the menu is empty, so I tried to restore it from the Recycle Bin.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
