• What happened to the shortcut on the start menu in Windows?

  After the Muse on Windows 10 2015.2, I can no longer pin the program in my Start menu, which is the case until now, I always recorded. I can not even find the program by searching for, and it is not in the folder program files. To open the program, I had to do it directly from the Adobe cloud program, and I later opened by double just by clicking on one of the Muse files I was working with. I can still pin Muse to the taskbar, but I'd really rather in the start menu, I have try to keep the taskbar pretty clean and do not use Muse too often that the other programs that I keep there.

  In any case, this change in the installation by design is? Seems very counterintuitive not to be able to access it from the same location as other programs Adobe. I really have no idea where the executable file is still at the present time.

  Hi Brett,

  Thank you for pointing out this bug! The shortcut on the start menu should be back in our latest version of Muse, version 2015.2.1.21.

  Thank you

• The start menu and taskbar does not appear.

  original title: the start menu and taskbar does not appear.  IM on windows 7.  Any help please?

  The start menu and taskbar does not appear.  IM on windows 7.  Any help please?

  You can try to leave Explorer yourself.  Here's how:

  1. Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
  2. On the file menu, choose new task.  Type explorer.exe and press ENTER.  The taskbar and the desktop should appear.

  However, this is not a permanent solution.  My best advice to you would be to use the system restore to go back to one hour before the beginning of the question.  This restoration process takes about 2 minutes and will not lose one of your folders: it restores only the settings from the system to a point in time that you choose (you can 'come back' as little as a few hours or several weeks).

  To do a test, follow the steps below.  I guess that you are unable to reach the taskbar for the following steps:

  1. Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
  2. On the file menu, choose new task.  Type rstrui.exe (this name is for 'restore user interface').  When you click OK, the system restore should start.
  3. Through the system restore program, you will choose a time to come back. When you have completed the program, your computer will restart with the settings at this time.

  Please let me know if it helps.

• Determine the target of the shortcut in the Start Menu

  I have shortcuts to folders in my Start Menu.  They seem to be of two different types, judging by their icons, although I don't know what circumstances lead to one type over the other.

  The 'good' type have icons that look like a single file.  I can pull up to its properties, the image of a folder appears with a small arrow in the lower left corner and there is a target field showing the trajectory of the target.

  The 'bad' type have icons that look like a single file with a preview of the content.  I can pull up the properties, the picture shown is always a file with preview and there isn't * no. * Target field showing the trajectory of the target.

  For both types, if I go down the shortcuts, the path in the address bar is not the true path, it's a false path that looks like it branches in the Start Menu (where the shortcut is) i.e. c:\Documents and Settings\Ma.F\Start Menu\TheShortCutName.  Two shortcuts are in folders on a network drive.

  1. How can I get the path of the target for the 'wrong' type of shortcuts?
  2. Is it possible to have the address field display the actual path instead of making it look like the folder is located in the Start Menu?

  My mistake.  Records that have not shortened * resident in the Start Menu.  They contain simply other shortcuts or folders of shortcuts.  Answer to the question #1.

  So, if I go down the shortcuts, the actual path of the target * is * displayed in the address bar.  Who responds to question #2.

  It doesn't seem to be a way to cancel a thread in this forum.  I'm sorry that this erroneous thread drag.

• some of my (links) shortcut in the start menu programs are "empty". How can I fix the problem? Ron

  Links to programs on the start menu appear as "empty" when I run the mouse over them.  I've recreated some of them, but it's not the biggest problem of why it happened in the first place.  Help, please.  Win XP Pro SP3 IE 8.0 Dell Dimension 2400.

  Hi RonaldPease,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         What do you mean by "links to programs on the start menu appear as"empty"when I run the mouse over them"?

  ·         You are able to launch programs by clicking on them?

  Perform a system restore and check if the problem persists.

• On the start menu control panel does not work

  When I click on the start menu control Panel icon, it says and I quote": {26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}"the RPC server is unavailable." All other icons are thus working computer, network, printers, etc all its only the control panel is not working. Two questions how to fix this and what is the RPC server?

  Hi I.Saenz,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Remote procedure call (RPC) is a part of Windows programs, which is "an interprocess communication technique that allows the software client and server to communicate." CPP is designed to provide a common interface between applications, making it easy for programs to communicate with the servers.

  Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Restart the computer to return to normal mode

  If the problem persists in safe mode then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

• All program files and shortcuts from the "Start" menu disappeared

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2) (64-bit).  Two days back, I've updated my windows.  After restarting the PC, all program files and shortcuts in Start menu disappeared.  The shortcuts that I myself had added manually do not work.

  Have you tried to do the restore of the system in SafeMode as stated in my answer 1 to you?

  If it doesn't/does not work:

  If you do not want to repost in the Windows Update Forum (they are the specialists it for the best advice regarding your problem), make this disc Bootable startup repair and use it to do a system restore or uninstall the updates by using the method 2nd in my 1st reply:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Windows 7 - LAN connection in the start menu, speed indicator bar not there

  I use Windows 7 on several machines (64 and 32-bit). The LAN icon is visible in the taskbar. Under XP, LAN icon showed the name of the local network and its connection speed. Windows 7 does not seem to indicate the name of the LAN - no speed.

  Can I get the speed is displayed on the icon (for example, 1.0 Gbps speed)? If Yes... How?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  This feature has been removed with Vista. Start the Task Manager and go to the network tab, there you can see the speed of the network connection.

• How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu?

  HIDDEN PIN TO THE MENU SHORTCUT START

  How to display a hidden shortcut that is pinned to the Start Menu? This problem occurs very simply but does not quite simply. I've pinned a shortcut to the Start Menu before you uncheck the hidden attribute (knew I had) causing the shortcut to be recorded without being visible. When I tried to pin it again I was alerted to his presence by the fact that the second pinning made an extension of title (2). When I tried to change the title, I received the message that a link of this title was already present. I don't want to stay as a situation lasting this is why I need instructions on how to change it. I could just change the title of the second pinning something close but different but then I would have two shortcuts to the same program pinned on my Start Menu, without being able to be removed. I just * because if I can tell. I could uninstall the program and then run another program looking for broken shortcuts to 'fix' and then (I guess that means deletion when they can't be 'fixed') but I would like to avoid the extra steps for pedestrians to the advantage of learning a new technique of Windows if such jurisdiction exists. Could use this help as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you.

• Why the icons disappear from the Start Menu?

  The Start Menu has two regions: a region for applications whose icons are pinned to the Start Menu and two region, for applications whose icons are not pinnend to the start menu... the positions of icons these vary, depending on the frequency of use.

  Why in the region shortcut icons do not disappear into the Start Menu?
  They are not being "jostled" more low ranking... they stop just appear.
  Open an application can hand its icon at two area of the Start Menu,
  but then after a few days (maybe earlier), for example, the icon is missing.

  Thank you
  DaleB

  You already have the answer yourself.

  "The two region" can only hold x number of icons... Let's say 7.
  If you later open a 8th program, among the list of 7 will be "hit.
  I opened Windows DVD Maker. Later, I opened MS Excel. Windows DVD is moved from the list.
