• What happened to my show desktop icon in the Quick Start menu when I upgraded to Firefox 4?

  I value and often use the button SHOW DESKTOP which has always been in my QUICK START MENU... until I recently upgraded to the latest version of Firefox because he promised to be faster (and my experience online in spite of paying for "high speed" is anything but fast!). I see that the icon was not just moved but DELETED and I'm not at all happy about it. What happened and how I get it back? Thank you.

  Hello. I asked an unusual question that I didn't have an answer to and it intrigued me to search my curiosity got the best of me. So here goes.

  How to restore the default Start Menu on the start of OS Windows XP and earlier versions?  On the new operating systems, the options on the Start Menu has a button to do this, but XP and earlier does not work. I made lots and lots of research on the Internet and to my surprise, nobody ever showed how it could be done. (I will not say "never" but if its out there, the solution escaped me.)

• Shortcuts in the Windows Start menu?

  Is it possible to create a shortcut in the Windows Start menu for a program that is installed on a Windows XP VM as of Windows 7 XP mode can do? I would like to be able to choose a program and have the virtual machine starts automatically.

  We added this feature in version 7.1 (currently in beta).  When you are in the unit, move the mouse over the Start button to bring up the start menu in the client. You can drag any shortcut for the program on this menu and drop it on the desktop or any other folder. On a Windows 7 host, you can also lock a window of the unit.

• Satellite Pro C50-A-1E2: problem get into BIOS after the activation of the quick start

  Hello

  I own Satellite Pro C50-A-1E2.

  Default hard drive has been replaced by a v300 kingston ssd. I also enabled quick start.
  I am trying to get into the BIOS but without success.

  I tried all possible combinations (Esc, DEL, f1, f2, f8, fn + esc, f1... fn)

  I found this piece of information through Googling: "press f2, and then press power. But always without success.
  Help with my problem?

  Thank you.

  Quick start can be enabled and disabled too using the Toshiba software called Desktop Help. Within this tool, you would find the HWSetup Toshiba and this part of software must contain the quick start option.

  Check it out.

  By the way: for some series laptop, press INS key then F2 worked too.

• Bug report - activate the quick start causes filesystem corruption and loss of data for Windows 8 NTFS when it is used by Windows 8 and Windows 2008R2SP1

  My hard disk configuration is as follows:

  Disc 1: 0.5 terabytes
  Disc 1 - Partition 1 Windows 2008R2SP1
  Disc 1 - Data Partition 2
  Disc 2: 1 terabytes
  Disc 2 - Partition 1 Windows 8
  Disc 2 - Data Partition 2
  After you install Windows 8 RTM and used for about half a day, I started in Windows 2008R2SP1. From the start in Windows 2008R2SP1, I had "one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency", and it proceeded to chkdsk both the 2008R2SP1 and Windows drives data. No problems were detected
  I don't think a lot of it... and goes to copy several files from disc 1 - 2 Partition on drive 2 data - data Partition 2
  Then, I started Windows 8 RTM one 2 weeks later and told me that 'one of your drives should be checked for consistency", and it proceeded to the chkdsk disk 2 - data partition 2 and found a small number of questions. But after that, all files, I had copied in 2 Disk - Partition 2 data were GONE!
  So I decided to reboot and start Windows 2008R2SP1... and I got the "one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency" again this time what we found thousands of questions! He supposedly fixed, but my files (more than 200Gbytes) still LEFT!
  I believe that it is this same problem: the bug - report serious corruption of system files and loss of data caused other NTFS de Windows 8 CP readers but I think it was not fixed on CP, and it is now on GTR!
   
  One more thing why this site (http://answers.microsoft.com) don't have any option to ask questions about Windows 8 RTM? I had to choose' other/unknown '
   
  Update:
   
  I found another thread in this forum about the corruption of NTFS when dual boot: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_cp-performance/can-dual-boot-windows8-x64-and-windows7-x64-cause/d89a58fd-cde5-41f5-b49d-8c84f79f46ac
   
  I also found this: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/W8ITProPreRel/thread/1be71590-1f43-4525-a341-26bdbccdb9df
   
  Apparently if you use the option "Turn on the quick start (recommended)" in your Power Options, when you turn off your machine, it's not really turn and that's why he won't let NTFS in a consistent state, and so, if the disc is read by another Windows, it will try to 'fix' cause corruption...
   
  This could mean, even a double start between 2 windows 8 facilities system would auto destroy...

• Reference Dell place 11 Pro 7130, how to activate the quick start Intel?

  Hello.

  I found that the system supports the Intel Quick start feature. The setting is enabled in the BIOS. On the support page of drive you, I downloaded the driver.

  First of all, it can be installed as a separate partition must be prepared for it. MADE with manual quick start by Intel. (By deleting the recovery partition, creation of the fast boot partition).

  The driver has been installed and says in the system Tray 'active '. But it does not work. (After waiting on sleep hours, the battery is empty, but should be turned off to the quick start intel). BIOS is Version A6. Any clue?

  According to another thread (answered by DELL), the function is NOT available on the same public participants11 it is listed in the BIOS.

  Thank you DELL to hear me cry...

• Moving icons from the desktop Start Menu

  I was unable to move the Internet Explorer icon in my desktop Start menu.  Does anyone know how to do this?

  Thank you

• 'Computer', search, sign, all inherent in the Windows Start menu does not not in Windows 7 x 64

  Menu start search does nothing (it is empty) and nor "see more results". Control Panel opens a blank window.

  Computer [also the shortcut on the desktop], music, Documents, etc. also does nothing. The frequently used icons still work, for example Dropbox and Malware Bytes on this machine.
  "All programs" also works.

  Edit:
  I just realized that the empty window of the Control Panel does not close. There will be no X-out and Alt - F4 does not work.

  I ran the Windows Microsoft 'FixIt'. That said he could solve the problem of the research, this raises the problem of research, then he said he solved the problem of searching (and only this problem), but it did not work.

  It seems that my computer was restarted in the night, or possibly to crash and restart. The first time that's happened I assumed it was my antivirus (Webroot) reboot or something similar, because the time was good for that. But now that it's happened a few times, I'm much less sure about. I'm not under what anyone from one day to the next (like the video compression or download).

  
  I haven't restarted, which I really hope will solve this problem. But there are a lot of quirks of windows you set with reboot (as in new versions of Windows)... is not an oddity. This is a pretty big failure. It's not like "Oh, it is not recognizing the printer, I'll restart."

  A successful operating system should not stop the side OS/usefulness of the user interface like this. Even if a reboot "suit", is a major issue.

  I'm an advanced user but not a pro. I did it and the user support, I'm building my own PC, I have owned them for adults 20 years of age and I am a computer science major. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with advanced Windows troubleshooting, I use usually just Google and a few tried and true solutions to the difficulty of the PC of the user. I never did anything with the Windows log files, and I'm not anywhere near MCSE, obviously.

  Hello, campus56

  You can try the system restore to when it worked as desired: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

  If Windows Search is installed through Windows updates, you can try to uninstall. In Add/Remove Programs, check the show updates at the top and look for Windows Desktop Search and uninstall it.

• When I log in the background screen of Windows XP appears, but the icons, start menu and taskbar do not appear. What should I do?

I can still access the Task Manager and command prompt, but when I try to use a command, absolutely nothing is happening, leaving this method of system recovery is not possible. What should I do?

  bleedorange1998,
  Thanks for posting with us.  I suggest try to start safe mode and see if it works correctly.  If Yes, then you can start using the "last known good configuration."   If in Safe Mode, you have the same problem, you should run chkdsk /r and sfc/scannow.  Here are the instructions for these suggestions.  Post back with the results.
