• 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

  Frank

  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.

  Do a check with some malware malware, analysis of programs on the Windows computer.
  
  You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
  
  Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

• Cannot access Internet and all programs on the start menu. How to get rid of a virus on windows xp

Now, my computer is screwed... In the start menu > all programs, everything has disappeared! And I can access the system restore in normal boot and safe mode, but the window remains empty, we never really gave me the opportunity to use it. Oh and I can't get online in normal or safe boot mod either, what can I do?

  Hello

  1. Why do you think that the computer is infected with the virus? See you pop - unwanted ups or odd behavior of all programs?

  2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

  3. did you run any online scanners to remove infections?

  Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  2. Type msconfig and click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
  3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

• By clicking on an elements of the taskbar (or on the Start Menu) ask me each time if I really want to open this file. How to stop this?

  When I click on the item to taskbar Windows 7 to Firefox (or on the Start Menu, too), he asks me each time if I really want to open this file:

  ... \ick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\Mozilla Firefox.lnk

  I say YES and it opens... until next time, when he asks again.

  But a double click on the shortcut of Firefox on my desktop doesn't only!

  I tried unpin and re-pinnning program without success.

  I tried to create the pinning of the original exe or shortcut on the desktop or the StartMenu option.

  All have them!  And it has worked perfectly well for years, but I had to reinstall FF today and now it goes.

  How can I stop this annoying feature?

  I found a column that actually addressed this and he said to go to the CMD prompt and enter:

  ICACLS '%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program' /Setintegritylevel (OI) (CI) Medium

  Tried without success.

  Another site told me to uncheck the box that says "ask before opening" but there is no such box on the pop-up.

  Maybe because it's a .lnk instead of a .exe?  I do not know.

  Please do not suggest that I use IE or Chrome instead.  I use IE much... but there are some things that Firefox is just the right solution for.

  Thank you!

  Hi MiloInSanDiego

  The response of the creation of a new user account was because after the steps mentioned by Babu, you said in the post on Jan 3 that you get this message 'Do you want to allow the following program to make changes on this computer' like this could be due to the virus.

  By creating a new user account, if there is a corruption of the profile by a virus, it will be there in the new profile. This is the reason for the creation of a new user profile.

  If you are facing problems with Firefox, I suggest you to post the question in this forum for better support.

• How to access the start menu? F10 is ignored. ESC is ignored.

  I have a HPE175z running a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium.  I want to change the startup parameters.  When the system boots, the screen tells me that < F10 > give me access to the configuration.  F10 is completely ignored.  A message tells me later < ESC > will give me access to the Start Menu. < ESC > is also ignored.  Similarly, I have try all the keys are ignored - nothing interrupts the boot sequence.  How can I access the start menu?

  The problem is that no key during the boot stopped the boot process and allowing me to enter the installation or startup configuration.  I swapped keyboards and the problem disappeared.  Apparently, the keyboard did not have during the boot sequence.

  Hello

  I checked the screenshot, and it seems that you are using the Windows XP Start menu and not the start menu classic.
  Please, right click the Green Start button and select Properties.
  Then, the taskbar window and the properties of the Start Menu should appear.
  Then switch on the start tab menu and press the Customize button.

  There, you can try to clean the list of programs
  Also, check the Advanced Options tab and the list of start menu items.
