• Most start menu missing icons, XP SP3

  I have XP SP3, over time most of my icons in the start menu > programs menu disappeared, only recently added programs have them.

  the icons are shortcuts to .exe files that initiate programs.

  the .exe inside their parent programs located in the folder of disc called "program files".

  to make a shortcut, just right click on the desktop, create new ones and then enter the location of the .exe file

  regarding the missing shortcuts, it is unclear what could happen to them.   but you can hunt down them and try to backup.  simply, do a right click on the menu start and open or explore all users.

  what you'll see in Solution Explorer are the folder parent for users, including the administrator.  you will also find subfolders for the desktop and startup programs.

  then hunt around for your missing shortcuts or the shortcuts in the folder and then copy them from a user account to the other.

  If, however, you still can't find your missing shortcuts.  then re-create the files in the appropriate user account and make new shortcuts to put in it.

• View Manager does not load at startup (Windows 8 - confirmed activated in the Task Manager / start)

  During the recent update MDD, I can't get it to load automatically at startup.

  I am running Windows 8.1.

  I have to run it manually every time that I boot - which is a pain.

  I activate under via Task Manager startup items (oddly there are two DDMs that appears here, both are enabled).

  Any advice / help?

  Thanks in advance!

  It seems that you have installed the display manager Dell with privileges "Run as administrator". DDM cannot load automatically with this option for reasons of security, that is, it cannot start without the explicit permission of an administrator - Windows does not.

  Right-click on the MDD program or shortcut and select Properties, then cliquer click on the Compatibility tab, uncheck the box "Run this program as Administrator" and then click on "change settings for all users.

  Or just reinstall it with the "Run as Administrator" option unchecked. DDM itself doesn't require elevated privileges.
