• How to get removed from the start menu programs?

  Hello

  I stupidly deleted my file of all programs on the start menu (by chance).
  He emptied the folder programs on the start menu through Explorer windows as well.

  I still have access to all of my programs seeking for them or through the program files. How can I rebuild my Start menu to the original WITHOUT reinstalling windows or something like that.

  Unfortunately, I can't do a restore because it is configured to do a clean up of all old restore points, and he did it about 5 minutes before the problem occurred.

  Hi mate

  I assume you are using Win7. Right?

  Cannot rename files (programs) that appear in the Start Menu.

  You can ONLY rename folders.
  If you click on all programs, then you should also see some folders there.
  Right click on the folder and you should see the option rename.

  Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
