Problem of Menu start major.

I have a laptop Pavilion 6v6097ea entertainment, running windows vista. My Start menu has recently created a subfolder called field of all programs 'Programmes', which was an exact replica of hand all the programs directory. Think about this question, I tried to delete the folder, but was denied permission to do so (regardless of the fact that I am the administrator and the only user of the laptop). Then I tried to delete the files in this folder a, but was dismayed to find that, while deleted files appeared in the trash, they were simply reappear in this folder. Finally, I moved the folder on my desktop and managed to remove from this location.

Once I did, a few subfolders in my programs folder all gone, and so, naturally, I restarted the laptop, after having corrected this weird problem before. To restart the laptop, files had indeed reappeared, however, did in a folder on my desktop called "programs." Thinking that a simple question, I moved the files of this folder on the desktop and from there attempted to return to the start menu. Instead of reappearing in the start menu, the programs on my desktop folder was re-created, and records moved to here. No matter how many times I reboot, delete this folder, move these files around, he keeps reappearing. I had to tackle this kind of problem the last time by formatting my HARD drive.

My warranty missed until I managed to find the money to extend it (i.e. the unemployed it is quite difficult for me currently) and so the HP technical support will not help me. Anyone have an idea how I can fix this problem?

Thank you. I managed to fix this by erasing the files of

Menu \Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start C:\Users\[user name]

and then copying users from all directory. After restarting the laptop, the question was no longer a problem, and I have my Start menu full-back. Also, thanks to CherylG that I found about this page.

    I have a laptop A210 running windows vista. Whenever I close my browser that my windows menu start page and icons all disappear, and all I'm left with is the wallpaper on my monitor.

    Also when clicking on the control panel the same thing happens.

    Hello Gerry

    To be honest, I can't believe you have this problem on the first day. Am I right about that?
    Nobody here knows anything about your system and preinstalled software. Maybe you have installed something and now your laptop does inexplicable things.
    What you can do is to follow: I guess you know, in terms of cycle, when these problems started. Try please use the System Restore tool and roll back the BONES at that earlier time.

    I really hope that you will be able to solve this problem on this way. In the opposite case. post again.

  • Programs missing from the Menu start Windows 7 Enterprise

    We do some tests before a possible deployment was of Win 7 and have encountered a problem of Menu start which left us speechless. On the machine in question, a number of programs and files 'disappeared' in the menu 'programs'. When you look at the two folders that should be merged to display this menu, programs and missing files are present, but those that are listed in the user profile do not appear in the start--> list all programs from the Start button Menu. The records are "Start\program C:\Users\%user_profile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start" and "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program". Any idea where we should consider? Y at - it all Ploicy of ad group that can have an impact on this? We run W2K8 - R2 on our servers so that the announcement should be OK with Win 7. Help! Ralph Miller

    This may mean that you have over 70 entries in the two Start Menu > programs files. Try to click the Windows Orb (start), click all programs, and then click Open. Again right click all programs, and then click Open all users. Right-click the taskbar, and then click windows next door. Take a look in the two program records and if it has more than 70 entries, some of them combine or create subfolders. Right click on the task bar to cancel the side by side.

    Finally, using the Task Manager, terminate and restart Explorer or reboot the computer to refresh the list.

  • Problem with the start menu of windows 8.

    So my type of computer is Windows PC. My windows 8 Start menu automatically brings me too my "Apps". Then I have to click an arrow button and it brings me to 'start '. I can't find a way to 'lock or PIN' from the menu 'Start '. So, whenever I push the menu button start it brings back me to the "Apps". Is there a way to solve this problem, so that the start menu button will lead me to 'start '?

  • Menu start cannot open or pane of Notification after system restore

    I think I might have discovered what caused my problem with opening the menu start before. I had an operation system restore and now cannot open the start menu or the notification pane. I tried to cancel the system restore, but that did not help. Does anyone know how to fix this without using the Windows restore feature? I tried editing the registry found here, but it did not work. The haptic feedback that happens by pressing the soft Windows button on the front of the computer worked again (because it is not this worthless), but the start menu still does not open.

    If you haven't tried the "last known good configuration" among the Advanced startup options then do that first.  If this does not help, you must run the System File Checker to search for possible system problems.  Then, you must run the upgrade from the system tool and then see if you are able to run the SP2 update.   Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

    Hello

    What changes have been made on your machine for there to be a black screen with a cursor?

    Rather than doing a clean install of your operating system, I suggest you do the following.

    Step 1:

    Remove all external devices (printer, USB flash drive), as appropriate, and start your computer again and check.

    Step 2:

    If this is little help, start your machine in safe mode and check if it starts on the desktop.

  • Windows Live Family Safety - menu start closes

    I have recently installed Windows Live Family Safety on two desktop computers.  Menus to start the computer both are now practically unusable.  The start menu closes / disappears in the opening moments.  It took several attempts to be fast enough to click on start, then on the button restart button.

    After many attempts, I was able to open the control panel.  In the Parental controls window, down under additional controls. I changed the selected provider of Windows Live Family Safety to zero.  Without even closing the window of Parental control, the start menu resumed its normal operation.  When I cycle between zero and Windows Live Family Safety menu start immediately works or does not work according to the configuration.

    Given that he is on both computers is a setting in WLFS or this, I chose a big bug that makes unusable WLFS?  (Hard to believe)

    All windows updates have been applied and multiple reboots have been attempted.

    I would like to use the product and would appreciate any help.

    The issue seems to have resolved itself.  I don't know if WLFS needed to synchronize with a server, or which solved the problem.  When I came back to this computer the next day, however, the start menu was working fine.

    Although this is resolved itself, I found mention of this issue in an online journal of magazine and in another forum of responses, so I hope that Microsoft will continue to address the issue.

  • Wrong icon in the Menu Start 10 Acrobat

    I have Acrobat X Pro on a new computer running Windows 10. Recently, I noticed that the Acrobat icon on my menu start changed the icon Photoshop PS. When I click it, it opens Acrobat, but it is the icon of the PS on the taskbar. When I go to the location of the application in Windows Explorer, the .exe file has the correct Acrobat icon. If I create a shortcut on the desktop, the icon is also correct. When I pin the shortcut or .exe file in the menu start, however, it replaces the PS icon. When I right click and go to properties, the 'change icon' button is grayed out.

    While this does not seem to take into account the problems of functionality, it is annoying and I worry, it might be another matter. MalwareBytes scans turned up clean, but obviously I am concerned also with the possibility of a virus. I tried 'Repair Acrobat Installation' as well, but no luck.

    I don't know if this is something Acrobat or a problem of Windows 10, since it seems to happen only with the icon on the start menu. The only possibility I can think is that I had done research on some software manipulation of PDF for the client's work. I don't know if this has changed in some way of the icon. I uninstalled the software and the icon is always false. I know, he had problems with PDF being changed for Firefox symbols at the time, but PDF files are very well. It is only the Acrobat itself and only the icon on the start menu.

    In any case, I want to remove Acrobat before moving on to the search in Windows 10 as the culprit.

    Than you!

    I had the same problem and solved with the following workaround.  Detach your Launcher Acrobat in the task bar and create a new shortcut on the desktop of the "acrobat.exe" in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat (not from the start menu). Open this shortcut Acrobat and while it is open, PIN to the taskbar.  You can safely delete the shortcut on the desktop after it and the correct icon will stick.
