  May not, your settings in Windows Explorer is configured to be able to see (display hidden and system files/directories).

• Windows restarts when I select the option to remove the program from the Control Panel files

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed. System of the down stops and restarts whenever I select the option to remove programs from the control panel. First of all, the problem occurred when I upgraded the version of iTunes. Restoration has solved the problem. Same thing happened when I upgraded my version of PowerDVD. Restored again to solve the problem. Just installed Office 2010 and the problem came back. I don't seem to be able to install software without this problem. Any help gratefully received.

  Hi Rugger,

  Welcome to the community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

  This issue could be happen if system files have been corrupted or any third party application conflicts.

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  I suggest you perform a SFC Scan and check if it helps.

  Steps to perform a scan SFC:

  a. click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, and open the command prompt.

  b. type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  [The command sfc /scannow. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.]

  Once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Method 2:

  I suggest you perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

  Clean boot will check if any third-party application is causing the problem, as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  How to solve the problem by running the clean boot in Windows 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: once you have completed troubleshooting, perform the steps in the step 3: to reset the computer as usual.

• Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open

  I installed Microsoft Security Essentials today and I'm trying to edit startup programs. Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open.  However, most of the security will not allow Windows Defender be turned on and I want to change the startup parameters.  How can I accomplish this?

  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

  And now edit startup in Vista without using Defender programs, use one of the following methods:

  "How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"

  Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

• "Options files" disappear from the control panel.

  My PC has been infected by a virus. I've updated my antivirus, scanned the whole system and remove found viruses, but 'Options records' disappeared from the control panel. When I turn on the PC, a message appears saying that "Windows cannot find «scvhost.exe"»

  I'd appreciate any help.
  Thanks in advance.

  The computer is still not clean or the malware did too much damage to the operating system. First of all, make sure that the computer is really clean looking at these removal steps:

  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  If you were this meticulous, you are ready to move to the next step. If you were not this thorough, do the work and maybe the problem will be solved.

  If the computer is really clean, you can try a repair installation. If the repair installation does not work, back up your data and do a clean install of Windows.

• Cannot remove the flash drive in the list recently opened in the control panel

  I tried to erase all files recently opened in the control panel taskbar icon. But I'm unable to remove flash player from the list. Can someone help me how to remove it from the list.

  Screenshot attached

  Normally if you want to clear this history of jump list, you can do the following:
  1. right click on the Start button and click on "Properties".
  2. under the "Start Menu" tab, uncheck "Store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar" to turn it off.

  If you are still unable to get rid of the recently-opened items, try to delete the history of list of jump, which is stored in the following location:
  C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

  That should certainly erase the jumplists, but if the problem persists, check the below link for further troubleshooting:
