The search box in vista under the start menu ceased to find certain files and downloads, how to fix this?

When I search documents, download or file in the search box I know are on my computer, I receive the answer that no items match my search.  Even if I open my download folder and see what I'm looking for and search for this article it says "no element not corresponding to your research."  It is very recent and I've used this feature quite often.  How can I fix?

  • Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account, how can I stop this?

    Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account. I find it tiresome and very secure as anyone who uses my computer can read my emails.  I guess my computer is somehow related to my Windows Live account. I did a search for these emails in my Hotmail account and they don't even exist.

    How can I go to stop this? I tried to look in the Windows Live options but couldn't find anything. Thank you

    These files are probably within your e-mail program on your computer (for example, Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or another program).

    You can turn off the messages to appear in the search results, but anyone could still just open your e-mail program and snooping.  The only way to be really sure is to use a password on your computer and let other people use a guest account (or make their own account).
  • 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.

    Hello

    Borrow Vista disc a friend if you can - they are not copy protected - it must be a
    full commercial copy or real OEM for your computer brand and model.

    Other options: (run checkdisk first to make sure corruption is not a problem).

    How to run the check disk at startup in Vista
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/67612-check-disk-Chkdsk.html

    and restart SFC/scannow.

    Don't you installed SP1 if not install it.

    If you have installed SP1 do you have SP2 installed or install.

    If you have installed SP2, and then uninstall - reboot - and then reinstall it.

    I hope this helps.

  • I don't want the new tab with apps opening when I open Firefox, how to fix this?

    I want to just the home page to open without the new tab with a search bar on this issue.

    Sometimes the home page changes are caused by a new extension or external software change your Firefox settings. These can sneak in when you install other software, as many free programs include a set of less useful things.

    Could check you your extensions for the actions essential or unrecognized? Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. Or if it's obviously nonsense, delete.

    If the button Delete is absent for an extension, you can usually find a way to remove it using the Control Panel, uninstall a program (or all what is it called now to the point Windows 8.1). By clicking on the column heading to sort by date, "installed on" is useful to find and remove unknown elements not trustworthy bundle or other additions.

    Once your system is clean, your preferred homepage appears, either immediately or after the update the setting in Options?
