  • Post Virus left side of the Start Menu is empty - XP Home Edition

    Although I had (have) Microsoft Security Essential under my protection against the virus, I have acquired the Virus from Windows XP Recovery. Although there are long, I lost the functionality of system restore using Spybot, Malware bytes and MY, I think I've eradicated the virus. I use the computer in normal mode, and it seems to work normally. However, all elements previously available on the left side of the start menu, including MS Word, are no longer.

    I use a version of MS Office 2003. I can access MS Word documents stored on the computer and laboriously open a new Word document like this, but I get a message that there were a change in the model when I try to close any Word document. The guest in Tools/Options/save message is not checked and no auto-macro display in the macro area.

    Editing the registry is above my pay grade and I don't have the disks of office. Two questions: 1) any suggestion (s) rather than buying another copy of Microsoft Office?, and 2) what are the chances that I actually eliminated the virus?

    Thanks in advance for any help,

  • JumpLists disabled; 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is greyed out

    My option 'store and display of recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar' is grayed out. Are also grayed out any mention of "jumplists" system (i.e. the number of items to display in the jumplists). Have I inadvertently disabled this feature? If so, how can I return it?

    Hi, landonblaine:

    When the option store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar is disabled and grayed out, it is a symptom that two Windows fonts are applied to your system.

    Open the Publisher of the registry (Regedit.exe) and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsMenu value set to 1, delete it. If there is a registry that NoRecentDocsHistory value set to 1, remove it as well.

    Repeat the same steps in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key (it cannot exist).

    Restart your computer and see if the problem is resolved. Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience

  • By clicking on an elements of the taskbar (or on the Start Menu) ask me each time if I really want to open this file. How to stop this?

    When I click on the item to taskbar Windows 7 to Firefox (or on the Start Menu, too), he asks me each time if I really want to open this file:

    ... \ick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\Mozilla Firefox.lnk

    I say YES and it opens... until next time, when he asks again.

    But a double click on the shortcut of Firefox on my desktop doesn't only!

    I tried unpin and re-pinnning program without success.

    I tried to create the pinning of the original exe or shortcut on the desktop or the StartMenu option.

    All have them!  And it has worked perfectly well for years, but I had to reinstall FF today and now it goes.

    How can I stop this annoying feature?

    I found a column that actually addressed this and he said to go to the CMD prompt and enter:

    ICACLS '%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program' /Setintegritylevel (OI) (CI) Medium

    Tried without success.

    Another site told me to uncheck the box that says "ask before opening" but there is no such box on the pop-up.

    Maybe because it's a .lnk instead of a .exe?  I do not know.

    Please do not suggest that I use IE or Chrome instead.  I use IE much... but there are some things that Firefox is just the right solution for.

    Thank you!

    Hi MiloInSanDiego

    The response of the creation of a new user account was because after the steps mentioned by Babu, you said in the post on Jan 3 that you get this message 'Do you want to allow the following program to make changes on this computer' like this could be due to the virus.

    By creating a new user account, if there is a corruption of the profile by a virus, it will be there in the new profile. This is the reason for the creation of a new user profile.

    If you are facing problems with Firefox, I suggest you to post the question in this forum for better support.

  • 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.

    The red x is a mistake - it shows the location of an image that was not loaded.  Check this page for another example of messages with images - why are images on my warped computer so it is not on other computers?  Appear the many photos in this thread?

    You should check the settings in two places for the same problem (but please note that cleaning malware & registry are also for symptoms such as this).

    1 if you right-click on an image & select view the picture to make it appear then it indicates that you have this setting turned off normally.  To put the photos permanently in Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu [alt, t], and then select Internet options, Advanced tab. About two - thirds of the way to the bottom of the list is an article on Multimedia & its final entry is show pictures - the value of this check box.

    2 see also the pictures are not displayed and you see a red X on the Web sites in Internet Explorer , please review, information on using Windows ActiveX filtering - this setting are in the menu Tools of IE that you can get to by pressing alt, t & then selecting the entry of ActiveX filtering to enable it or disable it.

  • 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.
