• Some icons on the start menu are missing after a remote desktop session in Windows 7

  I use Win7 Pro SP1 and whenever I come back to my office after finishing a session desktop connection to my computer remotely, I noticed several of the icons in the all programs from the Start Menu section changed to default page icons. If I try to open any programs that are pinned to the start itself, it will indicate that the program cannot be found. Notepad and Calculator in particular to keep more victims of this problem.

  I also noticed that the audio controller is disabled until I restart.

  I found a batch file that will rebuild the icon cache, but this very annoying to have to keep doing it because I have to remote into my computer almost every morning for the daily scrum meetings we hold in a conference room.

  Does anyone know a permanent fix?

  Hello

  This could be due to a virus or infection of malware on the computer or problems with the Database Cache icon on the computer. I wish I had this information to better understand:

  (1) have you run an analysis using software registry cleaner on your computer recently?

  (2) what antivirus application do you use on your computer?

  Refer to these methods in the order in which they are presented, and check the status of the issue.

  Method 1:

  Run the difficulty of following article and see if it helps:

  Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/system_maintenance_for_windows/

  Method 2:

  These types of problems occur sometimes due to the infection by the virus in the computer. You can scan your computer from a Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Method 3:

  If the problem persists, then check the suggestions by Gaurav Prakash in the following thread and check if that helps. Skip the steps you have done already.

• Copy of the Batch (.bat) file to the Start Menu for all users User/Each

  Created a lot on each machine (file1.bat) leader to create a queue (file2.bat) of lot for a launch of a page to start windows.

  This is the content of file1.bat:

  off @echo

  @echo > C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\file2.bat «»
  @echo start http://www.MSN.com/ > C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\file2.bat

  Expected result is to copy the file2.bat to the start of each user profile.  However, the file2.bat is not copied to the Startup Windows 7, 8, 10 folder after the test.

  However, it will work in file1.bat:

  off @echo

  @echo>"C:\Testing\file2.bat
  @echo start http://www.MSN.com/ > C:\Testing\file2.bat

  I have not the network joins a domain.  I need to send the file1.bat to all staff.  I intend to deploy to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

  Thanks in advance to all.  Any help is appreciated.

  To run a command as Administrator file, you must click on it & select run as administrator.  Despite being connected with an Admin-level account, individual actions like yours needs as the run as Admin permission.  This is the way Windows works.

  

  You cannot add anything in a batch file to run as an administrator.

  You will see the system's responses to your batch file by adding a last line containing just the word break [test]

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  "File2.bat is to launch a web page which start machine"-Yes, I understand that. ""  But using a batch file to do this isn't better than just sending them the URL shortcut to the Web page instead.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  "Wish only to send the file1.bat for users" - you must give them instructions to run as admin.  Since the instructions are necessary in all cases, then you might as well keep it simple by sending them a shortcut in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder and url of msn [shortcut].  In your email, you can tell them to use the first shortcut [Startup folder] to get to the good copy of place and then * the second [msn url] in there, giving approval to the Admin when / if * it is called for.

  Some target computers may have lower security settings [settings "UAC"] meaning permission Admin is not necessary, but since you do not know that in advance, you will have to warn that it may be necessary.

  If there are multiple users on each computer only one of them has to do this on each machine.  You must choose a user who is either an Admin user who knows the password for this computer.  If you ask each individual user to do this, then only the first will be something to see; others may follow your instructions, but they will see that it has already been done and he can stop then.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  It is difficult to tell many users on many different computers to do something.  Some will ignore your instructions & do nothing.  Some will try to comply, but will make mistakes.  Some will do what you want.  You won't know the results even if you ask them to email you back to let you know.

• Problem with the taskbar and the Start - Menu icons broken shortcuts and icons 'White Pages '.

  I'm having a problem with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit where all the icons outside of a couple in my in my Start menu and task bar have all lost their icons (and are now blank white pages) and clicking on their displays the screen where you choose which program to open the. Files with the INK.
  I tried to empty the cache icon, but it has no effect. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  There are ways to fix file associations, but I would recommend first trying to use the system restore to 'back in time' before the beginning of the question.  Don't worry, the system restore does not cause you to lose all the files, emails, photos, etc.

• Cannot delete the libraries from the Start Menu icon

  When I right click on icon libraries as in the image below and select "Remove from this list", it does not go far.

  

  Of http://sbctooling.com/how-to-automagically-remove-programs-that-are-pinned-to-the-start-menu/

  I found a way to remove all items from the start menu. I hope that I followed the instructions in an appropriate way, it did not seem a few typos, so I followed his instructions implicitly given by the photo he attached.

• only the wallpaper don't start menu icon or start from the beginning. How can I solve this problem?

  This problem happened very suddenly... Everything was fine the day before. Thank you

  It's a good start.

  Think the process explorer.exe as your office.  If it does not work because the file is missing, you will have no office or the taskbar, or start button until it runs, so you need to replace.

  c:\windows\explorer.exe file should never be missing.

  It is even difficult to remove on purpose since it's a protected Windows file.

  You haven't told us your situation Antivirus antimalware software, but I suspect whatever it is (effectively deleted) quarantined your explorer.exe file.

  Since it is a protected file, there should be a copy backup of the file in this folder:

  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

  or, depending on your installation, you might find a copy in this folder:

  c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

  You must use the Task Manager to click file, new task, browse... and navigate to these folders and search for a backup copy, and if you find the explorer.exe file, copy (Ctrl-c) and paste then copy it (Ctrl-V) in the c:\windows folder where it belongs to replace the missing file.

  Since it should never miss, the backup copy may also be missing, so I put one on my SkyDrive do you can download (sinus your Internet Explorer works) and replace the file c:\windows\explore.exe.

  I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows
  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

  http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, it cannot save the file with an extension (for example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called explore when the name of the file should really be called explorer.exe (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

  You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

  That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

  You could also get a copy of explorer.exe from a working system and copy it to a floppy or USB key and use the Task Manager to browse replace the file (in two places)

  When the file has been replaced, use use the Task Manager to run this command again:

  %windir%\explorer.exe

  (%windir%\System32 is the c:\windows folder)

  How is it now?

  If it looks good, reboot and then run these scans:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
