Start button / Documents broken icon

• Start button and associated icons/elements

  All while browsing a Web site and try to get to the screen to move from left to right unsucessfully, I left said site and discovered that my start (the one with the windows icon) button and icons/Articles related to it, that use to be from left to right, horizontally on the bottom of my screen are now on the right, from top to bottom vertically.  How can I get this back to its original location?  Please and thank you for your help.  I don't like / want it that way.

  I'm sure it's simple, but I am very limited in my knowledge regarding such things.

• Wallpaper, icons, taskbar, and start missing the Start button!

  When I connected my computer yesterday, my office was a black screen dark with no background, no icons, no taskbar and no start button.  Curiously, the 'My documents' folder has been opened and the files it contains coulds will open normally.  Using this file open, I was able to navigate to other files and folders through windows Explorer, but was not able to restore the office via the control panel.  Right click on the screen had no effect, and the windows of the keyboard key is also without effect.  I started the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete, click on 'File', then "Start New Task" and "Explorer.exe" has entered into the box.  It restored the office and everything you still, but the problem is repeated every time that I reboot.  I have run many virus scans, eliminate a virus called "y.exy", as well as some adware in the registry, but the removal of the malware has not fixed this problem.  Is this virus problem, or is it a problem with the Explorer?  Why the monkey (my documents) folder would be always available at startup, when I almost never access that folder otherwise?  Any help would be most apreciated - is not only annoying - I am very worried that the malware may have corrupted my computer somehow.

  Originla title: OS repair

  I recently did a repair of the OS on a laptop, in a microsoft logo repair / reflection bar loop.  I restarted the computer and it starts with windows, but wonder if I want to activate now. I say Yes and it takes me to my office (which has no icons, start button, task bars or toolbars, just the wallpaper).  How can I activate XP or what I need to do another repair or a complete reload?

• How to remove the unwanted icons in the toolbar next to the Start button?

  • I have two of these lines has never asked for them. What are they and can you help me to get rid of them please

  * original title - I have unwanted icons in my toolbar next to the Start button, how can I get rid of them please *.

  Hi Pauline,

  First of all, let's make sure that you have only the taskbar at the bottom and not additional toolbars.  Right-click on the Start button and click on properties.  Go to the tab bar tasks and do not forget to uncheck lock the taskbar if it is checked and click on apply.  Go to the tab tool bars.  Make sure that nothing is checked, unless you want the quick launch icons to show. This is normally what appears next to the start menu and is a quick way to see and start programs of your choice - you can add or remove icons at your convenience as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Add-or-remove-programs-on-the-Quick-Launch-toolbar.  If that's what you want to see (and which resembles what you want to get rid of), uncheck this box as well.  Click OK and the quick launch icons should be gone (but have been recorded and can be added by simply re - check the box).  Personally, I find them very useful, but if you don't them want, then you can remove them as described above - it's entirely your choice.

  Secondly, you say that it is in two rows.  This is probably because of two bars of additional tools, either because the taskbar has been extended to two lines instead of one.  If it is still two rows, then if you deleted all the toolbars, it is because the taskbar are expanded.  Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and make sure Lock the taskbar are not checked - if so, uncheck the box.  Now hover your mouse on the top edge of the taskbar until it turns into a line with an arrowhead at each end and click the left mouse button and drag the taskbar to the bottom until it comes only one line (or up if you want to make three or more lines - your choice).  Release the mouse button and that will be your new taskbar.  You can lock it if you like by checking the lock the taskbar (as described above to unlock the taskbar - just click and a check mark will appear to indicate that it is locked) - this is for you.  Personally, I keep it unlocked so I can change more quickly - but it's a personal choice that everyone else does.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I can't access my account normally in Vista Home Premium: no job, no icons, no start button bar

  This problem started about 2 days ago. I turn on the computer and it starts normally. Then, when I put my password to login my account all I'm getting is the dialog box on a black screen asking if I want to start Vista now or more later. In addition, there are also a message in the corner at the bottom right of the screen saying that it is not a genuine copy of Vista. There is no taskbar, no icons, no start button. So far I tried to start safe mode and it identify you with icons, button bar and try to start but the background is always black without wallpaper. I tried restoring the system and don't have a virus scan with Live One Care, but these did not work.  Sometimes if I leave it alone and come back later the missing items are returned on their own, but the wallpaper is not yet there. In fact, while I was typing this question jumped in the back things. What else can I try?

  Hello

  If Windows has not been activated, the black screen is a normal behavior of Microsoft.  See André solution in this thread for Windows 7.
