  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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.

  These problems occur if the value of the Start Menu common registry entry is inaccessible or if the value is not valid. In this case, Windows XP cannot initialize the shell program.

• Explorer.exe takes more than 90% of the CPU when I opened start > menu programs

  IM using Vista Ultimate with Aero theme. I am a single user of this computer. When I open Start-> programs menu, an explorer.exe process takes 90% and more CPU resources and remains to be done (even if I don't move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard) until I close the menu programs. What continues?

  Hello Serresjio I can almost guarantee you that the troubleshooting steps will flip over as soon as you start back. my suggestion is if possible, remove the hard drive and the scanner on another computer with Malware Bytes Anti Malware, Avast! Antivirus and Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG etc. (all updates of course). usually, I use this method when everything has failed. Don't be too surprised boyfriend so often that I have a USB-(e sata, 1394, 2.5"/5.25 IDE) converter for the toughest jobs.

  Everything do you to not lose hope and format as most of the people do. I have corrected problems of windows than most irreparable thought technicians. It's just a matter of removing the cause and repair the damaged windows files. the problem can be solved the difficulty is just to use the proper tools/software. Lately I use Avast and MBAM with 100% recovery. It IS not JUST a single unrecoverable machine!

• How to permanently delete a recent list of the start menu program?

  Hello

  I would like to know how I can prevent a program from appearing in the list of most recently used programs on the start menu in Windows 7 (Pro).

  For example, "notebook" is in this list, but I've only start it by double-clicking on text files, never through the start menu. In this way, 4 of the 10 last menu entries are shortened I will never use and that take away space for other, more valuable shortcuts.

  I know that I can delete items manually by using the right-click menu ("remove from list"), but I really prefer a way to do this is permanent.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance!
  Michael

  Hi Michael

  I don't think there is a way to accomplish what you describe. There is no way to set this component to "ignore" specific programmes.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7
