Windows Start Menu recent files do not appear.
I am new to Windows 7 this week and in my Start Menu some recent open Excel files are not displayed. My .xls (old version of Excel 2003 files) files appear, but my Excel 2007 .xlsx files are not displayed. Any ideas why and how fix would be appreciated.
1. right click on the button start at the bottom left of the screen.
2. Select the Properties tab.
3. check the box that says "store and display recently opened items in the Start Menu and the taskbar. All the answers and suggestions are provided by an enthusiastic amateur and are therefore no explicit or implicit guarantee. Basically, you use my suggestions at your own risk.

To start my computer upward as usual and takes me to open a session. I connect and my background appears, however my desktop icons, start menu and taskbar DO NOT appear. I can still access the Task Manager and command prompt, but when I try to use a command, absolutely nothing is happening, leaving this method of system recovery is not possible. What should I do?
bleedorange1998,
Thanks for posting with us. I suggest try to start safe mode and see if it works correctly. If Yes, then you can start using the "last known good configuration." If in Safe Mode, you have the same problem, you should run chkdsk /r and sfc/scannow. Here are the instructions for these suggestions. Post back with the results.This article explains how to start the Windows Advanced Options menu: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222

The start menu and taskbar does not appear.

You can try to leave Explorer yourself. Here's how:
- Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
- On the file menu, choose new task. Type explorer.exe and press ENTER. The taskbar and the desktop should appear.
However, this is not a permanent solution. My best advice to you would be to use the system restore to go back to one hour before the beginning of the question. This restoration process takes about 2 minutes and will not lose one of your folders: it restores only the settings from the system to a point in time that you choose (you can 'come back' as little as a few hours or several weeks).
To do a test, follow the steps below. I guess that you are unable to reach the taskbar for the following steps:
- Press Ctrl-Shift-escape, which should open the Task Manager.
- On the file menu, choose new task. Type rstrui.exe (this name is for 'restore user interface'). When you click OK, the system restore should start.
- Through the system restore program, you will choose a time to come back. When you have completed the program, your computer will restart with the settings at this time.
Please let me know if it helps.

original title: where is the location of the Outlook.pst file in Windows 7?
I want to copy my Outlook.pst to my desktop (Windows XP Pro) data to my laptop. Outlook displays the outlook.pst file which will be located in the "C:\Users\Specific User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook" folder on my laptop. However, when I try to access this folder in Windows Explorer, the AppData folder does not appear in the user specific folder. I find in my office because Windows XP does not hide it, but he must hide in the Windows 7 operating system on my laptop. How can I get it so that I can copy the file outlook.pst from my desktop to my laptop? If the file is hidden, is there an easier way to copy outlook data from one computer to another?

To see AppData, enable the display of hidden files and folders in the Control Panel > Folder Options > view .

When windows starts the user name is not displayed, almost all programs do not work, or I get a message saying that they have permission to run the service, sometimes windows not loading some programs of initialization and I can't turn off the pc by using the start menu, when it arrives, sometimes everything works normally when I turn on the pc except of my antivirus (avast!) and firewall (comodo) , they are responsible, but avast! said that the service is disabled and when I him there is a message saying that he had ceased to maximize or in an inconsistent state and comodo said that the application of the agent is not running.
My Windows is XP Professional SP3.
Thanks in advance.
(Sorry for my English)* original title - I have starting problems I've ever had and I can't find a TomTom.*
Salvation exodus REV,
You did it of any material changes or software on the computer before this problem?
I recommend you to uninstall Avast! & Comodo temporarily from Add / Remove Programs. Later, check to see if the problem persists.
To uninstall Avast!, you can use utility aswClear to uninstall Avast!.
For more information, refer to this link: Uninstall Utility
You can not install Comodo since Avast! has a built-in & antivirus firewall.
Hope the helps of information.

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!

the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os
Hello
I got this message when recovery... I can't get the windows... I have the CD recovery, but when I boot it... It gives me this message
the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os
How do I solve this problemHello
Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.
Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).
An example of a COA label can be seen here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally shipped with your laptop - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, that is the file you need to download ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly file on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here. The source of the Image is - Digital River.
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

All pilots additional and the software you may need are located by entering your full model number or Nr here.
