• XControl start button

  Hello!

  I have a project where I needed a start button. Turned out it was pretty easy to make one in an xcontrol:

  

  I did a search for existing solutions but could not find, and since many ask for a start button I'll leave it here.

  To use, just drag and drop the xcontrol in your vi.

  my taskbar and start button does not appear when I start my computer. Later, I can't get to the control panel.

  Looks like you have your taskbar set to autohide.  If Yes, press Win - or Ctrl-Esc.   Or you could just bring up the run... dialog box by pressing Win - R to run control.exe

  Less likely you can see a case where explorer.exe is not running.   In this case, you can always open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete.   So, then you could restart explorer.exe using the file Task Manager, new task... command.   Or again, just start that way control.exe, if it was really what you wanted to do.

  Although by default, the taskbar is displayed on the bottom of the screen,
  It can be on any of the sides on what you prefer. To move any
  side to side, simply click an unused portion and drag
  where you want it. Don't forget to click inside it, not on the edge.
  by clicking on the edge and dragging will resize not move.

  Moreover, with the screen monitors wide today, I prefer the taskbar
  on the left or the right of the screen. I think that allows a better
  use of real estate than have it at the bottom of screen.

• Start button fills the taskbar

  I have the screen task bar on the side of me, and the Start button is stretched downwards to cover the whole thing, it looks like a green sign instead of the taskbar. My computer has been infected by a malware called "malware protector" immediately before what has arrived, and at startup I now get a message saying

  "Error loading c:\windows\inilicakenakohod.dll".

  The specified module could not be found. »

  I suspect this is related to the malwear when I Googled it this morning and follow-up of the results of the search, I was immediately infected again.

  I tried to adjust the options in the start menu with the size of the icons, layout style, and nothing has changed. I had a few massages in saying that all programs could not fit on the screen.

  I tried to restore the system, but he tells me that he cannot restore as nothng has changed

  I am running a fully updated version (as of May 30, 2011) of Windows XP. I was running Kaspersky Internet Security, but after having been infected with the malware and it is undable to help, I swapped for CA antivirus and Malwarebytes Anti Malware

  The problem is not present when I boot in safe mode

  Follow these instructions, and fix any remaining problems.

  I think you should do the MBAM and SAS scans (referenced in the background) first, then to clean the remnants of the infection.  I had read all this completely through but so you will understand what's going on... then fix it.

  It is sometimes easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.

  I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.

  These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.

  Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.

  There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.  If you can't find a good explanation for the name of the file in a Google search, re chances while your system is currently or has been infected with malicious software.
  A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
  It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
  Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
  So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

  You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

  If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
  If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
  Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry
  . There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
  Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html
  You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
  Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
  When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
  The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
  Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
  If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
  You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
  Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
  Given that you had or have an infection, followed with this:
  Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

• Options for the power button Windows XP to ask what I want to do when the Start button / stop is pressed

  Original title: Start button / stop - "ask me what to do" - where is it?

  Under XP, when I pressed the power button I could put it "Ask Me what to do." This is very useful for two reasons:

  -My PC is under my desk, and if I'm not careful, I can press the power button with my knee...

  -To turn off, I can hit the power button / stop rather than start etc, then choosing.

  The feature exists on Windows 7 (press alt + F4), then how do you link that to the press the power button? Why this was removed?

  See you soon,.

  as support has been totally removed. If this is the case, then the work - a-

  Please let us know if you find a better solution.
