"Recent items" from the Menu start is always empty in Win7
When I open recent items on the Start Menu, it is always empty. If I right click on it and open in Solution Explorer, it is also empty... I REALLY miss this feature in XP!
Argh, I had only selected to add recent items on the Start Menu... I now see the documents once I ticked the boxes.

TOO MANY ITEMS ON THE MENU START...
I have over 200 BFGames in my computer & when I download, they also appear in my Start Menu.
Recently I started to have the box saying that they can not show all my items on the menu, to go to the higher screen resolution. I know her b/c just games that I buy that automatically appear in my Start menu that is the problem.
My question is, if I remove them in my Start menu, it will delete all over my computer-example: in the downloads, etc. ?[Moved from comments]
You are welcome. I am pleased we got started on the reorganization of the Start Menu.

After a recent update, I seemed to lose my IE icon anywhere on the computer - I couldn't find iexplore.exe when you're looking for all of the C: drive, and the icon has disappeared from the start menu.
I managed to install a Microsoft IE links and the software works very well. However, when pinning the IE icon to the start menu, I just got a regular icon - I don't have the right arrow to go directly to a recent site / or InPrivate browsing etc.
Does anyone know how to restore this feature?
See you soon

How can I remove the item from the menu tab "Mute"?
43 Firefox seems to have added a silent tab item to the right-click menu on the tabs. Where is the new element of the tab used to sit, so I'm constantly hit the darn dumb tab button when trying to make a new tab.
Is it possible to get back to this?I do not fear the icon/button for tabs allow you to read audio data. This is actually very useful.
I use Cyrco, but I guess that's a Firefox thing, because I can't find it in the Cyrco options.
Dumb tab is a new item in Firefox 42 or 43. Cyrco probably inherited. But I would look to Tab Mix Plus for a fix because Firefox (A) allows you to change the context menus and TMP (B) is already change the list in any case.
There is a recent development for the test version, but I don't know if it meets this problem:

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.

How to remove an item from the start menu in Windows 7?
I tried to install a game written for an earlier version of Windows. It did not work, but when I uninstalled the program, he left an icon in my Start menu. I can't find a way to delete the item in my Start menu.
If I click on the link, I get a message that says that this is not a valid Win32 application.
If I right click on the link, I get options:
Play
Run as administrator
More games from Microsoft
Support
PIN to the taskbar
PIN to Start Menu
Sort by nameI miss the opportunity, we usually need to change the Menu start manually!
I did all that, although I had to 'Show hidden files' in two different places, but the guarded program reappear, even after that I deleted everything that I could find that had "Lemmings" in there. I had installed the program on the D drive and I could delete it, but the next time I saw the Start Menu, it would put a file on drive D named Lemmings Revolution.exe (with no data in this document, 0 bytes).
I tried the support link from Microsoft and the thought that should work, but alas, I didn't have the product code to enter the FixIt program when asked.
I finally took a huge risk Open regedit and then sought to any occurrence of the word "Lemmings". I deleted everything in the registry that referenced "Lemmings", then returned to the D drive (in the command prompt) and deleted the above programme, after that I restarted my computer.
So far, it seems to have solved the problem...
(I knew after you remove some of the registry keys, one of the contained key code product I could entered the FixIt program, but by then I had already made changes.)
Thanks to everyone who tried to help me!

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.

Retrieve items from the Recycle Bin?
OK, so I'm a newbie in this thing whole smartphone? Just got my Droid X last Friday and always try to understand everything - it's a bit overwhelming!
I tried to drag something from one home to another screen (easier said than done) and I accidentally threw it in the trash CAN. (I'm not sure that the app was, but it looked a little like a media player).
Is it possible to retrieve items from the Recycle Bin? I can't find any info on the trash anywhere.
BTW - I tried to go to the application menu and pressing applications to reinstall, but, again, I don't know yet what app it was!
Thanks for the help!

No, it's not as intuitive as it could be. You are on the right track. When you enter in your gallery, select an image. Which end the putting in place and he must then take you back to the home screen where your widget must be loaded. Good comments!
