How to search for "Mail (32-bit)" (Control Panel) on the Start Menu?
I would like to be able to hit the Start button and type Mail and then be able to open the Control Panel item «Mail (32-bit)»
Now when I click on start and type Mail I only search for items in the downloads section, but Panel does not appear. When I open the control panel and tap "Mail", I see the article of mail (32 bit).
Thank you!
As an alternative, go to Control Panel , and then change the view by [in the top right] the categories large icons or small iconsview.
In doing so, the entry of mail will always appear when you open the Control Panel in the future.
You can, if you wish, just right-click on the mail entry & select Create shortcut. This is put on your desktop, but you can then move it somewhere else more convenient for you.

Problem Panel of the start menu window opening control
Hello
I have Windows vista premium operating system. I have the problem to open the file on the right hand side starting by, default programs (error, 'class not registered'), Panel, connect (no problem), network (class error, Explorer.EXE, unregistered), computer (class error, Explorer.EXE, unregistered), games (error, Explorer.EXE class, unregistered), music (C:\Users\hp\Music, class not registered), images (C:\Users\hp\Domuments\Pictures (class not registered), Document (C:Users\hp\Documents, class unregistered)
This is the first time I have this problem.
Help, please. I can't open any of the files and my document folders, and all the one I mentioned above.
Thank you very much!
Repost:
If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistarepair/threads
If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.
Good luck!

How to remove 'music' and 'pictures' of the right pane of the start menu?
How can I remove the 'music' and 'pictures' option in the Panel of the start menu right? When I right click on them, there is no option to remove or delete (as some forums suggest). When I go to customize the start menu, everything (Panel, Favorites, videos, etc) except these two are listed. Can anyone help?
Well well well, you will look like this? When you mentioned "libraries", I remembered that a few weeks ago I was cleaning the menus and screens under WMP and apparently I went in organizing-> customize the navigation pane and unchecked near pretty everything in there. I just went and restored these options by default and viola ~ music and images options are coming back as if by magic. Do not understand the logic behind this, but the problem is now resolved. Thank you.

Start Menu problem - another file opens when I select a file to open in the start menu
original title: Start Menu problem
I use windows Vista Home Edition. The start menu is in Vista Mode. When I select a file the third file above that that I select opens. In classic mode, it works fine. How can I fix it?
Hello
Try the methods provided below and see if they help to resolve the issue.
Method 1:
This looks like a problem with Windows Aero, I would say that you update the card drivers video from the manufacturer's website and check if that helps.

On the start menu control panel does not work
When I click on the start menu control Panel icon, it says and I quote": {26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}"the RPC server is unavailable." All other icons are thus working computer, network, printers, etc all its only the control panel is not working. Two questions how to fix this and what is the RPC server?
Hi I.Saenz,
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2 when was the last time it was working fine?
3. do you have security software installed on the computer?
Remote procedure call (RPC) is a part of Windows programs, which is "an interprocess communication technique that allows the software client and server to communicate." CPP is designed to provide a common interface between applications, making it easy for programs to communicate with the servers.
Check if the problem persists in safe mode.
Start your computer in safe mode
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
Restart the computer to return to normal mode
If the problem persists in safe mode then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.
The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

If so, make sure that lock you the taskbar, right-click on the taskbar > check 'lock the Tasbar.

Here's how to get safe mode:
Shut down your computer > turn it back on and immediately and repeatedly tab key F8 until you see a black and white screen. The top/down arrow and select Safe Mode.
If you can see the taskbar in safe mode, please do a system restore. Choose a date where you did not have this problem as your restore point.

somehow everything in messing around with google earth, I have moved the start menu to the upper right of the screen and don't know how to get it back on the ordinary lower left hand side. Also my taskbar has disappeared. Help would be really appreciated. Thank you
The dialog box you describe is the taskbar of Windows XP Properties dialog box not Windows 7 one. It is a Windows 7 forum.

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.

Photos in the Start Menu is more pointing to the right folder
I moved my folder on an external hard drive.
The icon and all images are on this drive, but now the ability to achieve in my Start menu disappeared.
In addition, under the Windows Explorer (do they call it that in Vista?) the icon is missing under my user name.
You know... There is my computer, then my name of user, then under that is, Documents, music, photos, etc..
Well, the image is missing.
Thus, the properties of images in the Start Menu is empty.
I have the icon in Windows Explorer with it to the external hard drive and even with the start menu.
Manually move you the folder images on the external drive without leaving a copy of it to its original location? If so, this is why he does not appear. Bring it back to its original location (it should ask all of your shortcuts to reappear), then create a new folder on the external drive and name images. Follow the steps below to change the location of your pictures folder.
Click on the round to Start
Photosdo a right-click and select properties of
Go to the tab locations
Click on the move button
Add the path to the folder on the external hard drive in the folder box
Click Select folder
Click OK
Click Yes
This will move the photos that you have in the current images folder to the new location and change the destination of the pictures shortcuts. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you. Shane
