• Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account, how can I stop this?

  Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account. I find it tiresome and very secure as anyone who uses my computer can read my emails.  I guess my computer is somehow related to my Windows Live account. I did a search for these emails in my Hotmail account and they don't even exist.

  How can I go to stop this? I tried to look in the Windows Live options but couldn't find anything. Thank you

  These files are probably within your e-mail program on your computer (for example, Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or another program).

  You can turn off the messages to appear in the search results, but anyone could still just open your e-mail program and snooping.  The only way to be really sure is to use a password on your computer and let other people use a guest account (or make their own account).

• When I search on the start menu, I see emails that I deleted.

  Original title:

  Start menu

  When I search on the start menu, I see emails that I deleted.

  I want that these emails deleted permanently and is not presented on the search menu. How can I do this?

  The search system is performing one analysis every few hours to check what's new.  Looks like you deleted emails but the scan has not yet executed.

  If you find that the scan never works at all, you can rebuild the search system by opening the Indexing Options (search to find it) and click on rebuild indexes.

• Programs Windows missing from the Start Menu

  All my Windows programs have disappeared from the start menu.  I was playing with the option hidden files on some of my shirts.  I followed the suggestions of another post on changing the property of my programs to uncheck hidden and which did not help.  Any suggestions?

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

• How can I recover windows files on the start menu as "Accessories" after the fake recovery tool?

  My pc has been infected recently with the fake windows recovery tool. I don't know how to recover the files/folders in the start menu and the desktop that were there before.

  It seems to remove the shortcuts in the start program, so a show systemic does not help.  Or it does solve the problem of the "NoDesktop" under political Explorer setting, which prevents the user access to the desktop (see  ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938265.aspx).  I had to deal with a computer with these questions last week. I'm not sure it's the same virus (it was a fakesysdef one), but some things can not easily be corrected.  My experience was that I had to set up the shortcuts to start again, as they were not hidden, but they seem to just disappeared.

• Internet search in the start menu

  I thought that Vista can look on the internet alongside the HDD without launching a browser engine or search by customizing the start menu - is it true?

• "You must format the disk in drive J: before you can use it"

  Says error message "You must format the disk in drive J: before that you can use" I have a removable USB storage drive that I always connected to my computer whenever I have download movies save disk space on my computer.  Now, he wants me to format this disk storage.  Also, where he used to qualify this drive as "Removable disk", it is not labeled as Local J: drive. I don't want to format this drive because it erases all my files and folders on removable USB storage drive.  Please help me.

  I had the same problem.
  And I have a solution for you... The problem is that when you plug in your HD first, Windows 7 install your hard drive and associate it with only this USB port (whether the USB port "4") If you want to use (HD) again, you need to plug it into the same USB port (USB port '4'), where it was first installed. It's stupid! But that's how it worked with my HD.

  Try all USB ports you have on your PC.

  Good luck.

  Hope this has been helpful. : D

  PS: the same problem is with all the damage that connect you to your pc.

• The SD card no longer works. "You must format the disk before you can use it"

  I have a dv8000t supplied with XP.  I've upgraded to Vista 32, and after the driver updates and adding the SMCISEnable key in the registry, the SD card reader has worked well.

  Now when I try to use the SD cards, it is said: "you must format the drive until you can use it" as an error message.  I tried the SD cards on other computers, and they work, so I know that is only the HP dv8000t problem. This is perhaps the result of a Windows Service Pack or other update?  I have Vista Service Pack 2.

  Any ideas?  Thank you.

• USB Flash Drive gives the error "you must format the disk in drive E, before you can use it"

  I just plugged my USB pen and a message pops up saying: "you need to format the disk in drive E, until you can use" I was wondering if and how I can solve this problem? Can anyone help? Sam
  * original title - USB pen problem *.

  Hi samanthaGibbons,

  What is the make and model of your USB Flash drive?

  The USB Flash drive works in any other computer?

  It might be a problem with the drive itself, or it may need to be formatted.

  I suggest you check out the website of the manufacturer for possible troubleshooting or know how to reformat the disk, if necessary.

  I hope this helps!

• My search in the start menu box does nothing

  When I click on START and open the classic Menu, I have the normal search below box and I can type things in.

  But using enter, does nothing.  If I put the cursor at the end of the text to search for, it still does nothing.

  How to READ the text to find?  especially I need help with the features in Windows 7 no files, records, etc.

  The only way to make it work is to KILL the classic menu, return to native Windows and use the search box, but that requires initialization, etc..

  Thanks for the reply.

  I use Microsoft Essential antivirus and there are no questions.  Have made no other major changes that some installs of some free software simple.

  But, today, I rebooted and re-installed and now it seems to work.

  Thank you.

• Search on the start menu does not remember recently opened programs and files

  "" Search programs and files "bar in the menu 'Start' to remember what has been typed"
  Is it really possible that MS desinged this search bar without the ability to remember what has been typed recently? I'm sure this isn't, so can you help me find the option that allows me to turn it on. In the contrary case, retype repeatedly repeated orders in the bar!

  I found a way to save at least research. See the link: http://content.techrepublic.com.com/2346-12843_11-94748.html?tag=nl.e064
