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.

  • How to remove the search box in the Windows 7 Start Menu?

    I'm a guy from keyboard. Encoder, mudder. Therefore, I prefer my Start menu for user-friendly keyboard, which includes the removal of the search box as the focus of pigs. I can't find this option in the control panel to the taskbar and Start Menu. I lack, or it is impossible to get the classic Windows, looking for the start menu?

    I forgot on the thing... If you want to remove the search box, try this: start > Control Panel > programs > Turn Windows features or disable > uncheck Windows Search

    ...

    I said that you can press Tab... wrong... you must press SHIFT + Tab.

    ...

    About to express my opinion - there is a simple reason why I do this. Some time ago, someone asked how to remove the search box, and it received no response for a few days. After that, I found this option, how to remove... When I said on this subject after a few days, I heard that this person used to this new feature of Windows and now it will keep it. I'm not saying that your opinion is wrong... this system differ only from XP... so we have to try to learn something new and check after a few days we don't like this solution more than the previous.

    ...

    I wonder why write you in commentary edition which has pasted the link almost not worth it. You will get exactly the same behavior of Menu start as in Windows XP. I thought that you, like this old solution... "Pinning just something that mimics the classic style"... No... you have clicked on the first link... you should read more prudent. There was also another. But even if you have selected the first solution with menu PIN... I guess you don't know that you can run all the pinned programs by pressing the Windows key + number... for example, WinKey + 1, so that each action is made without a mouse.

  • Windows 7 - Start Menu jump list (right)

    I'm trying to customize the start menu in Windows 7 to make it usable, however, it seems much more difficult than in the previous version of Windows.

    On the right side of the start menu, above the 'Shut Down' button, there are a number of shortcuts for various things.  Some shortcuts such as links for 'My music', 'My videos', 'My images' can be changed to point to the desired files.  Other elements are not so easily changed.

    I wish I could add a set of shortcut to this list that are more useful, such as the 'links '.  I have several menu items that I located under 'Links' with shortcuts that go to various programs, etc.  However, there don't seem to be an easy way to actually get the links folder.

    I can add the folder and the links to the 'Programmes' section, but it is heavy that I have to click on, highlight, click on to access the menu item that I want to access. -not very friendly.

    I tried many solutions already posted, however none seem to get the results I'm after.  Many places, I was able to add a folder, but it simply do not appear in the menu on the right.

    Is it possible to customize this area such that I can put a submenu with links program frequently used in it?  (similar to the start menu classic).

    I apologize - it is called 'Favorites '.

  • 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.

  • 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. If please see "Software media and command pilot" page or contact HP Customer Support. to order a set of HP recovery disks. You can also buy the ComputerSurgeons.com recovery discs if you prefer.

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer: upgrade to Windows 10 - Start Menu disappeared

    I updated July 29 to 10 Windows using the Windows Media authoring tool.  I was very happy with the new system, everything was working fine until 2 days ago the Start Menu disappeared.  I looked for solutions, as it seems a common phenomenon and Microsoft are aware and working on a fix (this problem occurred with a previous version).  The most popular and apparently successful solution is:

    Open Windows PowerShell (run as administrator) the Task Manager (as a new task) and enter:

    Get-AppxPackage | % {Add-AppxPackage - DisableDevelopmentMode-register "$($_.)} {"InstallLocation) \AppxManifest.xml"}

    This has not worked for me.  After much trial and error I havefound change affected 'Standard' to 'Administrator' account and restart work.  Long term, however.  Someone at - there a better solution?

    Thank you. Unfortunately, I was one of those for whom this solution did not work.  The problem turned in my case to be caused by AdAware 9.0 that was included in the upgrade.  He was using a lot of memory and seemed to be blocking updates.  He was not enrolled in a program control panel, so I was unable to uninstall it.  I tried to replace it with the latest AdAware (currently 11.0) to save the program and then can be removed but was not able to uninstall version 9.0 or (AdAware 11.0 seems to cause problems with Windows 10).  I finally managed using Revo Uninstaller http://www.revouninstaller.com/ and find the program that even this program has no seeAdAware 9.0 installed programs.  After a complete withdrawal of all remaining files and a few reboots and allowing Windows Update to automatically install updates a backlog of orders, the Start Menu is back.  Problem solved.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • [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
