Similar Questions

• Yet once again, I ask. How can I put "recent documents" on the start menu in windows 7, I use Office 2003.

  Just need a shortcut for 'recent documents' which has disappeared.  It had XP & Vista.

  Could find and add a shortcut to 'new document' that displays white screen, fax, letter, etc.

  Cancan, probably not what you want, but is "Recent Articles" in the start menu of good?

  It will contain recent documents, but also has other types of files like images.

  Sorry if you tried and it's not what you need, or I misunderstood.

• PC Tools Performance Toolkit, removed from the list of programs recently used in the Start Menu and a new one is born not more

  I used the destructor of the demo feature PC Tools Performance Toolkit allows you to delete a directory that I couldn't take off any other way. At the same time used a few other functionlities software to clean my computer, the software promised to improve the performance of my computer (Vista). Then I discovered that the software deleted the list of programs recently used in the start which was not desirable. Now there is a list of recently used programs, and a new one is created either. How can I get the list to create again?

  It is not recommended to use any cleaners/tune Up all registry program on modern operating systems.

  And they can do more harm to your any good operating system that they claim to be able to do.

  See if that helps you.

• Opening of the "Documents" on the start menu

  When I select 'documents' on the right side of the start menu and then click twice on the doc to open it, I get an error message that the requested doc not be found.  However, if I open the MS Office application (Word or Excel) and then go to open the document, there is no problem.  How can I fix the problem of not being able to open the start menu?  This device worked well for a long time, but the end does not work correctly.

  Right-click on the Documents icon and check the path on the general tab.  Does say "C:\Users\?  Otherwise, click on the location tab and type the appropriate path and click OK, and then see if the process works.

  You can also open Documents by clicking on the Start Menu on your name and user then scroll on the left side to the Documents and then clicking on it to open it on the right side.  If you do so, the same problem occurs with the impossibility of finding the requested document?  It doesn't work anywhere in Windows Explorer, but works in real-world applications?  Have you tried other types of files outside the Office (as a PDF)?  The same problem occur?

  If this is the case, it looks like there may be something wrong with the Windows Explorer.

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  Make a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929135?p=1 and see if the problem persists.  Otherwise, follow the procedures in the article to find the program/process causing the problem and either remove or uninstall.  Don't forget to put your system in normal condition when done as explained in the article.

  Boot mode safe (repeatedly clicking the F8 key during the boot process until the menu appears) and see if the problem exists in this mode.  Please post back and let us know that this information is important to track the cause (regardless of the outcome).

  Your user profile may be corrupted.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered. If that doesn't work, then let's try to check your hard disk for corruption and system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to start at the next startup.  Okay, then restart so that the program can run. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  If it doesn't (or if SFC detects corruption it cannot repair), we you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope this helps.  Please post back and let us know in all cases (and if the problem persists - try to include the answers to the question asked above).  If you have any questions as you go along, feel free to post back.

• How to permanently delete a recent list of the start menu program?

  Hello

  I would like to know how I can prevent a program from appearing in the list of most recently used programs on the start menu in Windows 7 (Pro).

  For example, "notebook" is in this list, but I've only start it by double-clicking on text files, never through the start menu. In this way, 4 of the 10 last menu entries are shortened I will never use and that take away space for other, more valuable shortcuts.

  I know that I can delete items manually by using the right-click menu ("remove from list"), but I really prefer a way to do this is permanent.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance!
  Michael

  Hi Michael

  I don't think there is a way to accomplish what you describe. There is no way to set this component to "ignore" specific programmes.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• Documents in the Start Menu

  Hi all!

  I have a strange question. When you go to your Start menu, click Documents on the right side, it opens your window of documents in Explorer. Well when you go back to your Start menu and click on Documents, once again, it bring up the window, even just opening. How can I make sure that whenever I return to click the Documents button in the start menu, it opens a new window and not the same? It's really bugging me! Help is very appreciated :)

  If you press then 'shift' and click on documents and then choose 'Open a new process', what do you mean?

  So the first time just then

  The follow-up time of 'shift' + right click "then"open in the new process"

  Or have I misunderstood?

  I don't know if there is a way to make this default value for the menu or not?

• Recent articles: in the Start Menu, I want to know the date of the notice of an element of the latter.

  In the Boot Menu, I want to know the date of the notice of an element of the latter.

  Hello

  You can check some dates that those were the last time.

  Start - Recent Articles - click with the right button on any entry and select Properties - general tab
  This may not work for some.

  Also check the contents of this folder:

  "C:\Users\Your user Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent.

  Where C: is the drive where are your user profiles.

  Right-click on any entry - properties - general tab

  I hope this helps.

• Recent programs on the start menu is not - don't know why?

  I read the other posts and have not used "CCleaner", but have used other registry cleaner products. Any ideas how can I fix?

  Hi K_Wallett,

  There may be not much that can be done for this, if the registry has been modified or corrupted/damaged. You can try one of the options is to perform a repair installation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917964 however, before this just so that there is no other issue you will want to make sure you have all your programs, files, folders, and everything you don't want to lose saved on an external device. (just to be sure that your data are safe).

• My link to Documents in the Start Menu folder is slow to load

  I use Windows XP SP3. When I click on the My Documents folder in my menu start, it takes 20 seconds for the windows Explorer window to load. If I use the shortcut on the desktop, it loads immediately.

  • My Documents is redirected to a network folder.
  • If I click on my drive that is mapped to that folder in my computer, it opens also immediately.
  • When I put the My Documents folder to its default location, it will open immediately.
  • All documents I opened the folder my documents, if I use the shortcut to get them or not, to take 10 seconds or more to open.
  • All records on shared drives network open immediately.
  • All documents, I opened those shared drive records however also take 10 seconds or longer to load.
  • All users of the network are working properly.

  Any suggestions?

  I ended up coming back and restore my computer to an earlier point in time and that fixed the issue. Thanks for your reply.

• After the upgrade "My recent documents" on the Menu start is still there but does not work.

  Original title: upgrade to IE8 problem

  Windows XP Pro SP3 System.

  Recently updated to the latest version of IE8 - after Upgradeing "My recent documents" on the Start Menu is still there but notworking.

  Have already checked the settings are fine and recent documents demonstrate in applications Office OK.

  MSTech notified support registry check I have for you ensure that value to start showing RecentDocs has the value 2 (Enabled), it is.

  Anyone can shed light on this issue? all answers gratefully received

  First, there has been no recent updates for IE. There were two updates of security for XP this past

  On 12 July.

  The latest updates for IE (KB2544521 & KB2530548) realize the June 14,2011.

  Being a user of Microsoft Security Essentials , I wouldn't know of the latest updates for Norton but I am aware that some antivirus programs may cause this problem soyou might consider a posibility.

  In fact I think that Imran M may have been on the right of remember suggesting someform has corruption. Nothing will do it easier than the registry cleaners because I see that you have two-Registry Mechanic and WiseFixer.

  You may be lucky enough that you would have only to reset the permissions for the recent Documents.

  And then there is no way to assess the damage, to use Registry cleaners. I HAV come across situations where the permissions would be reset, which is best left to the Microsoft Support using the remote connection. I've also seen cases requiring a full reinstall of the operating system. Personally, I would rather deal with malware infections.
