  a. press the keyboard Windows logo key combination + R to bring up the Run dialog box.
  b. type cmd and press ENTER to open the command prompt window.
  c. in the command prompt window, type the following commands pressing ENTER after each line:
  Taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
  attrib-h "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db.
  del "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\IconCache.db.

• Lost start menu shortcuts/program after you perform a restore of the system under windows 7

  I did a restore of the system to an earlier time, today and for some reason any now my shortcuts on the start menu and programs have disappeared. I tried to reset the default settings in the properties and clicking on and and unclicking show open but recent programs that made my start empty set menu. Go to an another system restore does not resolve this problem. As far as I know everything works but I can't search for certain things in the start menu.

  I could really use help on getting things to what they were.
  Thank you
  Chris

  OK I fixed the problem. It seems that the system restore point, I tried was automatic when windows update tried to install something. Something to do with this restoration has been listening on the start menu. I restored before this restore point and my menu start came back to normal :)

• Missing files to user in Start menu - > all programs

  I recently found a folder "Programs" in my "All programs" folder in my Start menu. This folder contained essentially all my custom folders as well as the default folders and icons to the start menu. Because I thought it was a duplicate, I decided to remove it and then realized what he deleted all files recently opened and all my custom folders (apps, games, programming etc.).

  I still all files windows vista Home premium and icons, but nothing else. I searched the Internet and tried all of the suggestions that I could find (check the registry, restoring files, searching for missing files, ensuring that the Program Files folders are not hidden from program data/Menu start) and nothing seems to have solved the problem. Is there a way I can back my folder structure for programs on the start menu? I checked the system restore, but I have not activated. Unfortunately, I did this in the middle of the tent to free as much space as possible so I deleted shadow copies of my drive, as well as everything in the trash.

  Is there any chance of the folder structure is always on the PC but just inaccessible? I'd rather spend on it from this angle instead of having to reinstall all applications in order to hand over the files of shortcut in the Start Menu-> all programs.

  Here is the procedure; http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/79571-start-menu-shortcuts.html.  Do this for all users.  Note that this will only restore the shortcuts.  If the programs themselves have been deleted, they will have to be resettled.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck.

• After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers

  Hello

  After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers. I get an error code 21 when I try to install the drivers AMD apparently missing.

  May 14, last night I had several (automatically) downloaded windows update

  Today, I was unable to boot my computer with Windows - tried the disk check, start checks etc, and eventually had to use System Restore (for help before the critical update to restore).

  Perfection, everything works, but knowing that windows will attempt to redo an automatic update, tried to check online - no one seemed to have a problem and (naivly) thinking I could always do another restore of the system, I rebooted again.

  Same thing worse. Could not do a sys restore either just before restarting or last night. Chose a date earlier (last week) but then lost the USB drivers and pilots display. Downloaded updated but refuses to let my AMD driver install Windows I have a very unpleasant screen... and I must now stop the installation of this update "critical."

  Would appreciate advice how do my installed display driver or whether anyone else has problems following this update

  Thank you

• problem with aspire menu start v5-122

  Hi, I just bought this acer v5-122 a week ago and I'm still learning to use it. the problem is, it does not display a start menu in the screen is just blank. What should I do to return to the start top menu?

  Murray, my first reaction to take it back to the store while it is still under warranty.

  However, you can get to the desktop? Did you save the machine? If you can get to the desktop, install the free program of the classic interface to get a start button. Then do a scan in depth with your antivirus. Then install the free Malwarebytes program and do a scan in depth.

  If none of this works, you should definitely take it back.

• Problem with the Menu of Microsoft starting and turning off Legacy USB Support

  I recently bought an Adesso ADP-PU21 active USB-PS/2 adapter. Most of the time it works OK except when the computer wakes from sleep. For troubleshooting I tried to turn off Legacy USB Support in the BIOS of my computer settings just to see if that helped what whatsoever. However, my keyboard does not work until Windows has finished starting when the legacy support is disabled. I can't use the Microsoft boot menu to select an operating system to start. This is the reason why I made this thread to get help with it. I have dual boot between Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Is there a way to fix this, so I can have usb legacy support turned off and continue to use the start menu? I had this problem before, when I tried something else but I don't remember what it was. I hope in any case, there is an alternative for this switching usb legacy support back on. Any suggestions?

• Cannot access Word or Powerpoint in my Start Menu "all programs"?

  I downloaded and paid for microsoft office 2010 student. I have a sony vaio notebook, and it works with windows 7. However after that I downloaded and then entered my product key, everything was working fine, but recently, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Powerpoint have not shown in the section programs ALL in my Start menu. I know that both programs are still on my computer, because I can still access the files that use these programs to run, and the programs, then perform perfectly well. It's just that I can't access these programs without having to open a previously saved document, then move and clicking new blank document. In addition, microsoft exel works quite well and it is in my Start menu and I can access it easily, but the other two, word and powerpoint, aren't there, HELP PLEASE?

  Start button > all programs > scroll down to find Microsoft Office, click on it > now find them?
  If Yes, you can do one or both the following:

  1. right click on the word > Pin to the Start Menu
  2. right click on the word > Send to > desktop (create shortcut)

  Do the same with PowerPoint.

• Satellite A200/A205 - problems with start-up and sleep modus

  I have a problem with my Toshiba (running on Windows Vista).

  When I start the computer, sometimes it starts normally. But often, it starts to beep, I can hear the fan start fan and lights up blue. But the system unbootable and I see only a black screen. When I turn off and try again, the ringtone happen or it starts normally. Sometimes I have to turn it on three times and sometimes it starts the first time.

  The other problem is when my laptop into sleep mode. Sometimes when I push to the bottom of the screen, but also when it rises. It turns into sleep normally, but it won't come out. I see only a black screen. I always turn it off and restart.

  I don't know much about computer and computer-language programs, but I really hope someone can tell me what to do. I bought recently and I can't work with it like I want to.

  Hello

  This code beep at startup always means there's a bad material work so I think that there is not much you can do.
  The problem could be related to everything, RAM, card graph, processor, motherboard, etc. and it is not easy to diagnose it exactly.

  What you can do is to test the RAM with Memtest86 or other memory diagnostics tool. Maybe he can find something

  If this isn't the case, I recommend you contact an authorized service provider. Guys can you help solve this problem. :)
