programs are not not in the start icon

When I click on the start icon in the taskbar, all programs have dissappered, they are still in the add and remove the though.how section make their return to the start icon in this list. all programs are gone.how did it happen? What is fix? When I restore from an earlier date, it does not restore the list of programs.

It is likely that a piece of malware hidden links used by the start menu.

Try to bring up a command prompt window (Windows key + 'R' and then type "cmd") and then enter the following command:

attrib s h "c:\documents and settings\all Users\Menu Menu\Programs\ * ' / s

This should display all these files if they are hidden.

    You can print from your computer?  This is how it normally works.  The printer must have something to print and that something can come from a copy, scan, or your computer, so it seems to me that you do not have a problem.

    Original title: freezing of funds

    Hello Manu,

    Thanks for the guidelines to help me solve my problem. Just to tell you that no, I have no error messages when I tried to access the office programs and Yes, I made a few changes in the pc... in the registry with Glary Utilities. That was my main concern.

    However, I tried the AUDITOR of FILE SYSTEM (CFS) and it fixed some problems.

    I also watched method 2 and did a performance using MICROSOFT FIX patch and ran that the Microsoft SECURITY SCANNER both have not reported any problems.

    Also tried method 1, no problem in safe MODE. I didn't think it was a third party program... so I decided to do a restore to an earlier date... then the problem seems to have disappeared.

    Start the pc also seems to be much faster.

    Thanks for the suggestions... I'll keep them as reference just in case...

  • You are not on the latest version of Firefox. Update today to get the best of the Web!

    Whenever I update my firefox, I get this message, you are not on the latest version of Firefox. Update today to get the best of the Web!

    It - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Page to start Firefox used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. I think that Google assumes that you are using an older version of Firefox, as they hard-coded message 'upgrade' in this page - all versions of Firefox see this message.

    From version Firefox 4, Firefox uses a 'local' with the address Start Page of Subject: House. It looks like the old start Page, but this isn't exactly the same thing.

    Any suggestions?

    Stopping the churn.  If they are unscrupulous - that simply confirms your e-mail address is * well * and it will be resold to new lists.

    Specifically, add them to your list of mail JUNK when you can, if you doubt, you will always receive an email, just to be sure, their entire domain.

    The only other suggestion is to get an other email address for your personal & business needs and start using it.  Make sure that you register for what whatever randomly with this specific e-mail address (control which give you out.)  A * lot * of junk mail occurs usually because someone came to something random at some point and then the address obtained on a 'list' that was happening around / sold.
