Why a shortcut for Microsoft Update doesn't appear in the start menu as it always has in previous installations?

In this latest new installation of Windows XP Pro when I upgraded from Windows Update, Microsoft Update no item does appear in the start menu in previous installations? Can I remove Microsoft Update and then reinstall it? Can I manually install the shortcut? I'm comfortable editing the registry.

Off topic, I know, but you can work some magic for another problem. When I boot, when half of the icons appear in the notification area, I get a message that Windows Firewall is disabled. After the last icons appear, the message disappears and the firewall turns on again. It's annoying, and I'd love to [repair]. Thank you.

Assuming that the message "the Windows Firewall is disabled" comes from the Security Center (Windows), looks like you see what we call a "race condition". Essentially, Security Center is loading before the Windows Firewall was fully charged (may be due to the amount of NAV system resources then uses what he loads and runs his own control over the firewall).

Until the warning goes away in a few minutes, don't worry, you see a normal behavior (for Windows XP).

    Maybe your 'Alt' key is stuck.

  • 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.

  • No shortcut/folder "Windows Virtual PC" appears in the start menu after installation.

    I am re - a question that has been previously published by "turkeh" which the answer has not solved the problem. New: after successful Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 Ultimate RC installation the specified shortcut, "windows virtual PC", does not appear under "all programs" as the moderators mentioned; It simply isn't there. Uninstall and reinstall XP mode does not help.

    Help with this is appreciated. Thank you.

    It seems that the information may be incorrect.  You must install both, because the Menus are created by the installation of Virtual PC.  Windows XP mode installs just needed to run files, which are then used by Virtual PC.

    See you soon,.

  • Why the icons disappear from the Start Menu?

    The Start Menu has two regions: a region for applications whose icons are pinned to the Start Menu and two region, for applications whose icons are not pinnend to the start menu... the positions of icons these vary, depending on the frequency of use.

    Why in the region shortcut icons do not disappear into the Start Menu?
    They are not being "jostled" more low ranking... they stop just appear.
    Open an application can hand its icon at two area of the Start Menu,
    but then after a few days (maybe earlier), for example, the icon is missing.

    Thank you
    DaleB

    You already have the answer yourself.

    "The two region" can only hold x number of icons... Let's say 7.
    If you later open a 8th program, among the list of 7 will be "hit.

  • Pin a network to the start menu shortcut

    Create a folder on your desktop called networking programs or files, and then drag the icons for the files or programs in there.  You can then create a new toolbar by right-clicking on the taskbar, go to toolbars and add the new toolbar.  From there, all just point to your folder on your desktop and the appropriate files will appear in your taskbar tasks.  It's not pretty, but it works.

  • Why Visual Studio Cross Tools cmd keep appearing in my Start menu, although I do not use it?

    I use guest a lot, because I find it faster than the Solution Explorer.  I do not use any shortcut to launch this. I use the Run dialog box.  I also have Visual Studio, and there the command prompt "cross tools."  He annoyingly keeps appearing in my Start menu, and I don't use it. The name of the exe for this command prompt is not yet 'cmd', the letters I type in run to start the regular command prompt.  I don't remember the running process.  Why does he appear here?  There is really nothing to do with Studio, so I think that it shouldn't go in the Visual Studio forums.

  • Windows Live Mail does not present as an option for default programs or in the Start Menu.

    Something happened this week. I can't identify enough exactly when so I can't say with certainty whether or not it is the new update of 2011.

    I use Windows Live Mail (desktop application) for the mail. It is installed and since I built the machine first. I've recently updated for 2011 through Windows Update. In the Start Menu, the default e-mail link no longer works. If I go to customize, I have the options of Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, and Outlook. If I select Windows Live Mail, it launches a web browser to go to live.com and use Hotmail (which I don't use).

    Now, if I choose Windows Mail, and then re - open Windows Live Mail manually, I can set it by default. In this case, when I go back into the Start Menu, the link is there but empty and you get a message that "the selected item is not available. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. You want to remove from the list? "I can't get around that. Under "Default programs" in the Control Panel, Windows Live Mail is not yet there. It's as if she is not yet installed, and whatever the shortcut points to (wherever it may be) is apparently nothing. In the registry, under HKLM/Software/customers/Mail, there is no key for 'DLLPath' and "LocalizedString" as there are other programs.

    I must point out that repair installation does not help and neither does file and reinstalling.

    I managed to solve the problem.  I received an email from another user and I'm sorry to say, I do not remember what were the instructions in the email.  The answer to (y) our problem used to exist on the web, until Microsoft has removed the old answers live site, or something like that.

    IIRC, I believe that it was fixing the misdirected registry keys.
