Why MSE appear in red in the start menu

• Why they provide a compression of the start menu?

  I would really like to know this because I love the way the start menu works on Windows XP.
  Since Windows Vista, and now with Windows 7, when I go to "all programs" all my program items are listed in a 1 list under each other and considered as nested when I click on a folder. I always have a certain programs installed that use the start menu and it really clutters the list. Of course, everything is sorted, but which is not what I mean. I would like to see "all programs" fold on display again as the classic Start menu or how it worked in Windows XP. It worked simple and effective. Now I need to find a great list of applications, I installed and sometimes to open a file that makes the list even longer.

  Now I use 3rd party applications which changes the start menu to do these things, but these programs are often not free and when they do they have other problems that I won't discuss here for obvious reasons. ;)

  So my question is simple: is it still re-create they way manipulated XP style 'all programs' expansion? As it is now it greatly reduced my experience with Windows. All the guys at the office think also that it is quite a problem.

  I hope that I have explained the situation well otherwise I try to answer your questions. :)

  Thanks in advance.

• The option change username isn't appearing any more in the start menu

  Hello, I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit. After several months of normal use, the option change user (fast user switching) has disappeared from the start menu. Why he's missing out, and more importantly: is there a way to restore this feature? I'm not aware of any change in my system. Thank you.

  Hello Rami,

  I think that your answer should have worked but... I solved the problem already yesterday! The solution was restore the system to a previous restore point, but these, like last month, when the rapid change of user feature still worked. It took me a few minutes to do and my data were unchanged.
  It seems that the problem came from one of the Microsoft updates. I got the system configured for automatic updates and these are quite common. I have now disabled the automatic update option as the system is stable as is.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

• Windows 7 Excel and Word 2010 jump lists appear only not on the Start Menu

  Hello

  I would like to apologize if this is in the wrong section... I got here by looking at another thread, which ultimately does not solve my problem. I read the same solutions on dozens of different threads and not one has done something to help, so I thought I'd try to ask once again, indicating that I have tried and see if anyone has any other ideas!
  ... I also like to apologize if "jump list" is the wrong term. I mean, it is when I click on my Start Menu, and "Microsoft Word/Excel 2010" icon is the small arrow on the side right does not allow me to click everywhere for what files I recently consulted on Word. I have exactly the same problem in Excel 2010, but No problem at all for Powerpoint 2010 and it seems that programs such as Notepad and so forth are very well as well.
  What I did:
  1. right click on 'Taskbar', click 'Properties', select the "Start Menu" tab, under "Privacy", I checked the boxes ("Store and display recently opened programs in the start menu" and "Store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar").
  Make a right-click on 'Taskbar'-> properties-> select Menu-> customize-> items recent fact make it appear a list but less it is tab and not attached to the application (which is what I want to xD).
  My original problem was that the list of recent items for Word has not been updated and it was stuck on what he was about 3 months - which eventually prove needless after I lived my computer and deleted, renamed and moved a bunch of word documents! Unchecking the boxes got rid of the arrow completely, and when I checked hide them he refused to reappear for Word and Excel.
  2. I was at '% AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations' all files deleted from here and restarted my computer - ' 1b4dd67f29cb1962.automaticDestinations - ms' seem to be for the word, and I think that ' 3d961d1bb3da929c.automaticDestinations - ms' are to Excel. I have them I deleted, I moved it out of the folder, I renamed them, I sang for them, etc. etc. and every time it did not work.
  This seems to be a really popular solution that works for most of the time everybody... it does not work for me!
  I've also been to '% ' AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations and deleted everything from there.
  3. I checked that related to open different file extensions in Excel and Word programs are associated with Excel and Word. Everything seems to be strong in that Department.
  I use Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and fight with versions of Word and Excel 2010!
  Then... I don't think anyone has any other ideas?
  Thank you in advance!

  I emptied two recent used folders but did not work.   Then I fixed my office installation to add/remove programs in the control panel and that did the trick.  I have office 2007 and 2010 installed, but make sure that I only use 2010.  Will probably uninstall 2007.

• Cannot restore my laptop-"Repair my computer" not appearing is not in the start menu

  Once or twice in the past had to get my phone and it was an easy process thanks to the construction recovery option (computer repair) in the start menu (when you press F8 on the Toshiba screen), but now when I press F8 during the Toshiba screen and go to the boot options, there is no option to fix my computer. Fix my computer is usually the first option, but the first option is now "Start Windows in safe mode". Fix my computer disappeared! :(

  I think that the cause of my problem is that I started my laptop using my friend's windows startup disk when my computer would not start a month back. In fact, he got my laptop going again, but after starting my laptop, he told me that there is a problem with the start and he asked if I would like to repair and restart, I did. In addition, the windows startup disk, I used to start my laptop computer is a 64-bit version and my laptop has a 32-bit operating system. I don't know if that makes a difference.

  Could someone please help me by letting me know if there is anything I can do to get "Repair my computer" back. It is handy recover my computer when I want to just go back and get my laptop clocked in so it is better again.

  Short answer:
  There is nothing you can do about it except to include adjustments to plant again. I'm sorry. :(

• Why are most of my grayed out icons and my programs do not appear in all programs on the start menu?

  My computer crashed the other day. I returned with a system restore. I have scanned for viruses. Now most of my icons (computer desktop and folders) is grayed out. When I click on "all programs" in the start menu, none is listed even though they are still on my computer and still work.

  Hi homeWJ,

  Method 1

  See the Microsoft article below to download and install the fix, check if it helps.

  When you point to "Programs" on a Windows XP-based computer, the program list does not appear, or the list of programs is empty

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/941248

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then analyze and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check if that helps.

  You can also use Microsoft Security databases to scan your computer

• 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).

• 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.
  I opened Windows DVD Maker. Later, I opened MS Excel. Windows DVD is moved from the list.

  Hello, it is likely that there is an invalid extension installed on Firefox. Can you please try to start Firefox in Mode safe and then see if you experience the problem

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  Original title: how to install windows vista again portable hard drive

  Hai I bye a hard disk for my computer laptop is 550 HP Seriers notebook, because my previous hard disk have complaints, but when I corrected this hard drive in the laptop the start menu does not display of hardisk why?

  Hello

  1. you have a single hard drive connected to the computer?

  The issue could be related to the physical connection of the hard disk, I would suggest that you check the physical connection of the hard drive and check if that helps. You can also get in touch with the manufacturer for details on the connection.

  The issue could also be tied to the BIOS settings. You can get in touch with the computer manufacturer for help with the BIOS settings.

  Note:

  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
