• How can I add shortcuts to Windows 7 start menu?

  For some reason, it is impossible to add new shortcuts to the start menu in Windows 7. I always get a message "Windows cannot create a shortcut here. Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead? "I tried to select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in the folders and search options > view and to get to the start menu in the ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu but it does not help.

  How do you manually add a shortcut to the start menu?

  Right-click on the file, then select send to desktop (create shortcut), then drag the shortcut on the desktop to the start menu.

  You must not create shortcuts or change files in the box programs unless you are troubleshooting.

• the Windows 7 start menu as a menu display does not respond when selected

  original title: windows 7 start menu - display as a menu broken

  When you customize my Start menu in Windows 7, I chose to 'Display as a Menu', as many items as I could.  It worked well for a while, but now is broken. Now, if 'Display as a Menu' or "Display as a link" is chosen, I have to click the item to open it.  I tried to change it back in 'menu' to 'bind', I tried choose "display only" and then back to "view in the form of a menu, I rebooted. I changed the delay of menushow definition in the registry by default 400 for as little as 20.  All to nothing does not.  Any ideas?

  FYI for those who might encounter the same problem... found an easier solution.  I just put the menu start failing. The button is at the bottom of the start menu.

• Need help with the Windows Vista Start Menu

  So, I turned on my computer today and clicked on the start menu, I expanded the tab all programs and was shocked to see that it was empty. Tab Assecories, Extras and upgrades, games, all of them, all tabs have disappeared. Is any way to restore? I don't know how to get to the Defrag disk or cleaning disc or one of these things without it. Help, please!

  -Tim

  A plus for you to try.

  It still happens today. Yes?

  Why not do a system restore.

  Choose 2 days ago, or a date then your list of all the programs worked as your restore point.

• Always necessary to reset the default boot to Windows 7 start menu

  HP P6632f 64-bit computer

  OS Windows 7 Home Premium version

  Error messages that have been found are

  An unknown error during system restore 0 x 80070002 (used a different restore point and it worked)

  BIOHD 4 error code (this appeared on two occasions however, the computer starts with F4 in the start menu)

  There were no additions to the computer for several months, however there was a power outage that shut down computer just before it started.

  When the computer starts up goes to the first blue screen when you can press Esc for boot menu, F9 for diagnosis, etc..  The boot then fails and requires a boot disk.

  To fix this problem, I used the repair disc and or F8 to access different repair options.  I used the Startup Repair, System Restore, as well as the bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /fixmbr commands.  They have worked to get the computer to start, however, when it came to a reboot I was at square one.  When you use the Startup Repair disk and HD, there would be a report that there are no startup issues or questions start had been repaired but sometimes it would start and sometimes it wouldn't.

  If the safe is a restart then most of the time it will restart correctly.  However if the computer is stopped for more than a minute it will not start.

  I now start the computer by using the ESC key at startup to the top and enter the boot menu. I then use the F4 key to reset the default start menu and the PC starts and works well. The start menu lists first, second HD DVD and the Real tek DXEB03 D00 as third. (Don't know what this is.)

  Any helps resolve this, so I don't have to reset the default start at each start menu would be appreciated.

  It is unlikely that a HP Recovery or repair of Windows will last if the hard drive has failed. If you buy a new hard drive, you can order a series of HP's HP recovery disks or a third party provider of third party.

• Windows 7 - Start Menu power supply lack of button 'stop', 'sleep '.

  Hi all

  My power button on Start Menu is missing the 'Close' and 'Sleep' options.   Everything is displayed is 'Locked', 'Disconnect' and 'Switch user' (in gray).  I searched Internet solutions and tried * everything * recommended that in return, including:

  -right click on the power button and by changing properties

  -modification of the options in the application of power of Control Panel

  -change the registry setting to Start Menu

  -using the Group Editor to change the option to Start Menu power button

  -checked all of my system files to be ok

  I've been smart to do these things and always return the default settings later.

  Other observations:

  -the power button on the main Windows login screen * fact * have these options

  -When you use the Control Panel power approx., I even not give me the option to change the Start Menu power button

  I use Windows 7, 64 bit, professional on a Phenom II X 4 4 GB system.

  Help!  I'm a poster for the first time and I'm completely stumped.

  Thank you

  Minnesota Bob

  I solved the problem.  It turns out that there are two 2 group policy changes that had to be modernized.  Here's what to do (some steps copied from Microsoft article)

  Click Start, run.
  Type gpedit.msc , and then click OK.
  Navigate to the following location:
   
  Taskbar and User Configuration Administration\menu located
   
  Double click on "Remove and prevent access to the close command.
  Select 'off '.

  Double-click on "Start change power button Menu"

  Select "enabled."

  Choose "Shutdown".

  If you don't want to go through these steps, create a new user account will work as well.  Of course, then transfer all your settings of the old user account.

• Pin a shortcut to a network drive for Windows 7 start menu

  Hello

  up to Windows XP, I was able to add a shortcut to a network drive in the start menu, which allowed me to quickly access files stored on these discs without having to open new windows, then click on through the directory tree (I have not tried on Vista). Now on Windows 7, add a shortcut to a local drive works, but doing the same thing with a network drive is not. Is it possible to do?

  Using the shortcut to the root of the computer on the right side of the menu start isn't acceptable workaround because she apparently cannot navigate the directory tree using submenus.

  Thanks for your help.

  Kind regards

  PAGOD

  You cannot add to your Start menu, but you can add it to your taskbar.  Right-click the taskbar, select Toolbars > new nouvelle barre bar tools, then find and select the network drive.

  If it solves your problem, click on the link "Propose as answer" below and vote as useful by clicking on the green triangle for the lelft. Thank you!

• Windows 7 Start Menu Worthless - how to make it useful?

  Once upon a time, you can arrange the start menu with folders of shortcuts for easy access to your most frequently used programs.  This is no longer allowed.  Now you need to pin a single shortcut to the start menu (as opposed to a related shortcuts folder), or access the long list "all programs."  It's a bit like you giving the choice of the purchase of gasoline by tanker or the.

  If you try to pin a folder of shortcuts related to the start menu, it is accessible only in the form of a folder, not a menu.  Is it possible to restore the old features of the Start Menu?

  One of these two tips might help:

  • You can organize Start Menu by adding your own files:

    In Windows Explorer, open this location: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ (this location is specified to the single user. If you want to have an overall effect that is visible to all users, you should go here: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program )

    You can create files there and then just simply drag and drop shortcuts on the Start Menu.

    or...

• [Solved] Windows 7 start menu search work does not correctly

  Hello
  I hope you guys can help me with the following:
  As I removed (through the registry) libraries in Windows 7 (see notice at the bottom) I can't find common things such as 'cmd' 'Notepad' or 'calc (tab'ulator)' find the programs installed in the search from the start menu, but CAN FIND paths like C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe. Research in the Solution Explorer window is not affected by this problem. If I try to search for example "cmd" in the search for the start menu it says "no element not corresponding to your research." When I click on "See more results" it shows This popup (click here). So I restored the registry keys, but it will not work correctly again.

  FYI: I tried several things to solve this problem but never fixed it:
  -see if the Windows Search service and Indexing Service are running (> Yes, auto-start)
  -rebuild the index (it indexes 2 additional partitions on my hard drive, C:\Windows, C:\Users, C:\Program Files (x 86)------and standard folders like the Start Menu)
  -Uninstall and reinstall Windows Search and Indexing Service (via Windows turn on or off features in the control panel > programs and features)
  -delete the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search
  -Tools Microsoft FixIt
  -Troubleshooting (also the problems search and indexing)
  -create new user account

  I forgot something? If so, I'll tell you as soon as I remember.

  Can anyone help me please with my w/out problem suggesting to reinstall Windows?

  I use Windows 7 x 64 HomePremium SP1 on a
  AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor 4200 + 2.42 GHz with
  4.00 GB of RAM and 500 GB HARD drive (partitioned into 3 disks).

  Notice:
  In order to delete the libraries I removed/edited these registry keys:
  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]

  "{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}" = -.

  I found a solution by myself.
  If you have the same problem I had (really the same with above registry keys), just download this file: https://www.mediafire.com/?s4bt0447gk426r6 inside you will find 3 .reg files:
  -to restore the registry keys and resolving the problem of search in the menu start
  -through libraries in the start menu folders 'normal '.
  -to cancel the passage of libraries in normal files.

  To have no problem trying to merge "undo_rem_libs.reg", first give yourself permissions (full control!) of the HKCR\CLSID\ {031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5} key by right-clicking on it > permissions... > advance > owner (tab) > click on your username > OK > again once, click your user name (this time in the 'group or user names') > check 'Allow' in the full control row > OK.
  That's all! Now you can merge the .reg for restoring above file (see problem) removed key strings with the just installed new Windows 7 original data.

  The other .reg files in the archive must be explicit.

  / Edit:
  NOTICE: this works on all versions 32 and 64 bit of Windows 7 (not tested on Windows 7 Starter).

• Windows 7 start menu will not work, no posted solution does seem to work

  Hello colleagues

  I am running Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop.  The question is a common one in the net but I tried all the solutions I can and nothing seems to work.

  It happened once before and I rebooted and no problem then - restart now does nothing.

  The only way I can get the menu up is to simultaneously press Ctrl and Alt and while that hurry, click on the start - menu this opens it - but release Ctrl and Alt and it disappears.  Release one or the other button Ctrl or Alt and it sparkles.  It is also the same if I try and access the hidden icons on the right side of the toolbar.

  However it don't type anything in the function "search".

  I can access 'Accessories' in 'Programs', but do a right click on "Command prompt" does nothing.

  I restored the system twice.  This has been done in safe mode.  The problem continued.

  Off fragging is not a problem, as I did, and it did nothing.

  I did the process NVIDIA and the machine told me that the driver is working correctly.

  I did all the difficulties I can running messages from the center of the action.  What I can't do, however, is check for BIOS update from Toshiba or by a new NVIDIA driver because by clicking on the options either does not a screen (except if this is done also pressing Ctrl and Alt together), or when he does typing anything in the info boxes does not work : nothing comes.

  This is also a feature to try anything in the space of fields such as deposit details to get an upgrade on my antivirus (AVG running) of type - information software simply not clap.

  Extra when I'm looking to solve problems with the updates by clicking on the links produces no results unless I press Ctrl and Alt together - but release the buttons and the process stops.

  Do not type like I said I have been in the nets and tried all the solutions - those that I can complete, such as restoration and so on does not solve the problem - and those who require the information in the boxes do not work as the letters etc in.

  The new ideas/solutions gratefully received.

  See you soon

• Windows 7 start menu search can't find any files.

  Hello

  
  Start menu search does produce all files. The only results it shows are programs and Control Panel options. Essential, the search does not find the word, text, excel or pdf. I tried all of the obvious solutions that includes, by adjusting the indexing options. Enabling/disabling Windows Search on and off through programs and features. I have rebuilt the index a multiple of times. Define Windows Search in auto-start Services. I checked and rechecked the extensions of files included in the research and their individual parameters. I confirmed that the system has administration rights to all indexed files.
  These files are my documents transferred from Windows XP Professional 32-bit with Windows Easy Transfer to my newly purchased Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The laptop has been approved for upgrade of Windows Upgrade Advisor.
  New suggestion would be appreciated...
  
  Thanks in advance,
  Wes

  I thought about it. There is a search parameter slot under the Start Menu Properties. I can't believe that that has not been suggested as a possible cause on any of the fine Web of MS. well sites.

  Right click the Start Menu button.
  Select Properties
  Relative to the opening tab of the Start Menu, click "Customize...". »
  Scroll to the bottom and with the parameter 'Search the other files and libraries' select search with public folders or search without public folders.
  I hope this helps someone.

• Windows 8 Start Menu

  I just bought a new dell last night w/windows 8 on it and I can't find any start menu as if I had on windows7, Vista, or XP can someone help me?

  The start menu was changed completely to Windows 8. It is no longer accessible via a button in the lower left corner, and it seems completely different.

  To find the new start with all of your apps on screen, move the mouse to the top or bottom right of the screen. A vertical bar of icons will appear then called charms bar. Select Start and you will be on the new style start screen.

  Please see this primer for more information:

  Last night I upgraded to Windows 7 to Windows 8, everything seams to be fine work (faster, more fluid, etc.), but none of the tiles work in the start menu of Windows Store, that is to say, weather, maps, etc. When I click on "all apps" it will load installed programs however.

  Thanks for the help.

  I was able to diagnose the problem with agent suspicious actions of Avast turning just stuff the individual parameters, one by one.  After I found the root of my problem was Avast I checked to see if there was an upgrade.  There was.

  I updated Avast and the problem behavior shield now seems fixed.  In other words, I don't have to turn off the setting that I listed above for the tiles to work.  So I recommend to people is to update Avast and see if it solves your problem.  If this isn't the case, then turn off the settings that I mentioned, or disable Avast altogether.

  I sincerely hope one person MS is reading this thread and can transmit this information to their support people.  Avast is one of the most downloaded programs to Vista & 7; There is sure to be thousands of people with the same problem.

  Great, you're saving just a lot of time and grief... Avast was my problem too.

  Thank you!

• How to rebuild the Windows 7 start menu?

  Having had a virus and deleted successfully, I find myself with a strange problem.

  The virus, among other things, seems to have changed the menu start removing the 'pinned' programs is not a problem, but also remove the contents of the folders in "all programs", for example under "Microsoft Office" is a subfolder called "office tools" (empty), but nothing else.
  All programs are always there and the work that they are not available on the start menu. There must be a way to rebuild this menu without having to reinstall each of the very many pieces of software on the computer.

  Suggestions welcome.

  Common to all users start menu is C:\users\all users\microsoft\windows\start menu.
  For each menu C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\window s\start user.
  By default, these are hidden files.
  Open Windows Explorer and create shortcuts, copy, paste etc.

  A search not pulled up this [http://softzilla.blogspot.com/2011/04/free-windows-7-context-menu-editor.html] no idea if it is of no use
