• Start menu don't store and display recently opened programs

  One of the ID of the user (Vista computer) will not store & display recently open in the Start Menu programs. The ID shows them correctly. I know how to activate it in the taskbar and Start Menu properties, but it still won't show them.

  I transferred this profile to a Windows 7 computer and it still does not work. Any suggestions?

  Hi BrianMBC,

  You can try to disable and enable recent items and check if it works.

  1 click on taskbar and go in Properties.

  2. on the Start Menu tab

  3. request for the protection of personal information Division

  4. uncheck the box store and view a list of recently opened programs

  5. click on apply.

  6. click on ok

  7. Navigate back to the tab as well as above.

  8. now Activate store and view a list of recently opened programs.

  If this does not work, you can try to check if the problem is related to the damaged user account. You can try to create a new user account and check if it works.

  1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety, and then by clicking on user accounts.

  2. click on Manage another account.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. click on new account.

  4. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type (Administrator), and then click on an account.

  Here is a link that will give you information on how to create a new user account.

• JumpLists disabled; 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is greyed out

  My option 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is grayed out. Are also grayed out any mention of "jumplists" system (i.e. the number of items to display in the jumplists). Have I inadvertently disabled this feature? If so, how can I return it?

  Hi, landonblaine:

  When the option store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar is disabled and grayed out, it is a symptom that two Windows fonts are applied to your system.

  Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsMenu value set to 1, delete it. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsHistory value set to 1, remove it as well.

  Repeat the same steps in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key (it cannot exist).

  Restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience

• Start Menu problem - another file opens when I select a file to open in the start menu

  original title: Start Menu problem

  I use windows Vista Home Edition.  The start menu is in Vista Mode.  When I select a file the third file above that that I select opens.  In classic mode, it works fine.  How can I fix it?

  Hello

  Try the methods provided below and see if they help to resolve the issue.

  Method 1:

  This looks like a problem with Windows Aero, I would say that you update the card drivers video from the manufacturer's website and check if that helps.

  Method 2:

• Cannot remove the flash drive in the list recently opened in the control panel

  I tried to erase all files recently opened in the control panel taskbar icon. But I'm unable to remove flash player from the list. Can someone help me how to remove it from the list.

  Screenshot attached

  Normally if you want to clear this history of jump list, you can do the following:
  1. right click on the Start button and click on "Properties".
  2. under the "Start Menu" tab, uncheck "Store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar" to turn it off.

  If you are still unable to get rid of the recently-opened items, try to delete the history of list of jump, which is stored in the following location:
  C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

  That should certainly erase the jumplists, but if the problem persists, check the below link for further troubleshooting:

  Is your copy of Mozilla's Firefox, or was it provided by your favorite distribution? Maybe your distro added some extra features in Firefox for a better integration. If you haven't already done so, try to download a copy here and see if you get a menu popup long in the executable file:

  • https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  If that doesn't help also, you may need to use the extension to hide the context menu entries:

• I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen

  I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen randomly with the screen turned on (I mean everything is black and I can't see a thing, but can still see the light of the LCD screen). This often happens when I open/close a window, browsers web example, the records, or even during the boot. I want to know how to solve this problem and if the upgrade to Windows 10 works for her.

  Hi Haolin,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I do not understand that the screen goes black randomly, and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

  • What is the brand and model of the computer?
  • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
  • When was the last time it worked?

  Video card problems are the most common cause of this problem.

  Try the following troubleshooting procedures in the order. If the steps described in the first procedure does not resolve the problem, continue to the next procedure.

  Step 1: Reinstall your video driver

  1. Right click on the bar tasks and then click Start Task Manager.

  2. Click on the processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click end process.

  3. Click file, and then click new task (run).

  4. In the text box open, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

  5. Click on the Start button , go into the Device Manager in the start search box, and then, in the search results, click on the peripheral Manager.

  6. Double-click on display the cards, right click the display device, click Update driver software, and then follow the steps in the wizard that appears. You can also visit the website of the manufacturer of the computer support and install the latest available graphics cards for the same model of computer you have.

  Note: After the driver is re-installed, you may need to restart your computer to complete the installation. You may also need to adjust the resolution of the display to its previous value. For more information, see change your screen resolution.

  Step 2: Search for registry problems

  1. Right click on the bar tasks and then click Start Task Manager.

  2. Click on the processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click end process.

  3. Click fileand then click new task (run)

     In the text box open, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

  4. Click on the Start button , type regedit in the search box, and then, in the search results, click on regedit.exe.

  5. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

  6. Click to select the WinLogon key and then in the right pane, click on Shell. The value of shell in the data column must be explorer.exe. If the value of Shell is not explorer.exe, double-click Shell, and then, in the value data text box, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

  7. Close the registry editor and restart your PC.

  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

  If this procedure resolves the issue, you are finished. If this is not the case, proceed to the next set of steps.

  Step 3: Start the computer in safe mode and run system restore

  1. Click on the Start button , click the arrow next to Shut Down, and then click restart.

  2. Do one of the following:

     • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

     • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  3. In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and then press enter.

  4. Log your computer with a user account with administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you will see marked Safe Mode in the corners of your screen.

  5. Click on the Start button , type "System Restore" in the search box, click System Restore, and then click Next. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  6. Choose a restore point when your PC worked as expected, click Next, and then click Finish.

  7. Restart your computer normally.

  Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.

  If these steps resolve the issue, you are finished. If not, try to repeat the steps and chooses an older restore point (if available). If that does not resolve the problem, contact your computer manufacturer or the technical support for further assistance.

• I use LR on my PC, Windows 8.0.  Recently encountered a problem where I can't access one of my LR catalogs.  The LR error message tells me that another application is using the file.  I have to close the "another version" of LR, then restart.

• Delete only a few files from the recent open those

  I would like to delete some files in the recently opened files only leaving the most used in the list, that is, I don't want to delete all the files in the list, the only option I have in the menu. I managed to do that but can't remember how I did. I use PS CC 2015.1.2.

  Do not delete the files; Move them to another location. Then, click on the files in the list of recent files. Photoshop will not find files and removes them from the list.

  You can then return the files to their original location.

  There is no other way to selectively remove the files in the list.
