• During ANY installation of a program (e.g. Skype), I get the "year error occurred while attempting to create the directory C:\Program\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu.

  original title: facilities program

  During ANY installation of a program (e.g. Skype), I get the "year error occurred while attempting to create the directory C:\Program\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu. What happened with cd installs, but also downloads on the internet.  I already "took possession" of the computer, which is still delayed freaking, but am still unable to fight through all the questions of security, I guess that.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm about to DOWNGRADE to something more user-friendly.  Thank you

  BTW, this is WINDOWS 7 Home Premium

  I had this problem for a long time on Windows 7. Finally, by pure chance I came across this solution that solved the problem. -Take the shortcut of the property

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html

  You will need to run the "fusion" in the context menu of a reg file, published as part of the solution to change some registry settings. On any folder, you'll get a context menu 'Take Ownership' which restores the property correctly. This solves a lot of problems installing.

  Many people have trouble with this and therefore decided to post here.

  Gem of a solution. Thanks to GRIM and Brink on Windows 7 Forum!

• Shortcuts in the Windows Start menu?

  Is it possible to create a shortcut in the Windows Start menu for a program that is installed on a Windows XP VM as of Windows 7 XP mode can do? I would like to be able to choose a program and have the virtual machine starts automatically.

  We added this feature in version 7.1 (currently in beta).  When you are in the unit, move the mouse over the Start button to bring up the start menu in the client. You can drag any shortcut for the program on this menu and drop it on the desktop or any other folder. On a Windows 7 host, you can also lock a window of the unit.

• 'Computer', search, sign, all inherent in the Windows Start menu does not not in Windows 7 x 64

  Menu start search does nothing (it is empty) and nor "see more results". Control Panel opens a blank window.

  Computer [also the shortcut on the desktop], music, Documents, etc. also does nothing. The frequently used icons still work, for example Dropbox and Malware Bytes on this machine.
  "All programs" also works.

  Edit:
  I just realized that the empty window of the Control Panel does not close. There will be no X-out and Alt - F4 does not work.

  I ran the Windows Microsoft 'FixIt'. That said he could solve the problem of the research, this raises the problem of research, then he said he solved the problem of searching (and only this problem), but it did not work.

  It seems that my computer was restarted in the night, or possibly to crash and restart. The first time that's happened I assumed it was my antivirus (Webroot) reboot or something similar, because the time was good for that. But now that it's happened a few times, I'm much less sure about. I'm not under what anyone from one day to the next (like the video compression or download).

  
  I haven't restarted, which I really hope will solve this problem. But there are a lot of quirks of windows you set with reboot (as in new versions of Windows)... is not an oddity. This is a pretty big failure. It's not like "Oh, it is not recognizing the printer, I'll restart."

  A successful operating system should not stop the side OS/usefulness of the user interface like this. Even if a reboot "suit", is a major issue.

  I'm an advanced user but not a pro. I did it and the user support, I'm building my own PC, I have owned them for adults 20 years of age and I am a computer science major. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with advanced Windows troubleshooting, I use usually just Google and a few tried and true solutions to the difficulty of the PC of the user. I never did anything with the Windows log files, and I'm not anywhere near MCSE, obviously.

• 10 Windows start menu bug-Predator G9-591

  

  Hello acer community,

  I seem to have this bug on my windows 10 pro. It happened when I got home too. Whenever I press the start menu, it shows the normal color, I chose, after I press something on it, as all applications or power, it goes darker. If I move my mouse over the start menu it goes even darker. I tried to restore it and others.

  Please y at - it solution

  Finally, I found a solution to your problem. No need to reset factory no need to full reinstall. The problem comes from your Intel HD graphics driver, does not solve the problem in my old laptop se I just disabled the 3D settings without knowing this would fix it. As you use the integrated graphics card which means the correction might also work for you also. Go to intel hd graphics control panel and then turn off the 3D settings. I have no graphics built-in so I can't show you which setting, you must turn off exactly, but the first start by disabling all the and if it does start turning on one by one to see exactly one must be turned off.

  Also update the Intel HD graphics driver to the latest version.

  Hi the user Noob,

  We recommend that you remove the entry that allows Windows to start successfully. Microsoft Windows Vista (C:\Windows) is the default. You can remove the second entry and check the result (delete if it does not work).

• 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.

• Windows XP two entries in the start menu. I followed the program from one to the other files?

  More of a problem of operating systems XP and how to bind the program files for the new version

  My system was not properly initialize (continulally reseting) to repair the fault that I had to make a form of repair of the windows installation CD. I now have version 2 of the windows XP operating system (host1 and windows 2) on my computer. Windows 2 is the version that works (constantly does not restart) ok, but all my program files, documents, etc. are still linked to the old version (windows 1) and therefore do not apear in the start menu. Is it possible to have these appear in the windows start menu 2, so I don't need to reload all my programs and also allow me to remove this old version that has been corrupted and not lose my files and applications. Thanks in advance.

  Hi Bill,

  It seems that you have reinstalled Windows XP on a different partition. In this case, you will not be able to use the installer on another.

  You will need to reinstall all the programs on the new facility and also, redo the settings.

  You can follow the below mentioned article to remove the invalid entry in the start menu.

• 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.

• 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.
