View 5 RepliesI do not want to see any of the programs at the top of the list of All Programs (especially Internet Explorer). I just want to see the program folders listed, preferably sorted by newest or most recently modified first, by alphabetically would be OK. How to get rid of the 8 programs shown in here? Thanks.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed Vista Ultimate on my PC then after loading all of the drivers and Kaspersky AV everything was working well so I installed SP1. Now none of the programs will load up, I can go to Programs/Windows Update but it does not load. I right click on Computer and select Properties but nothing happens.

"Cannot find P:pathprogram.exe Check your spelling and try again". This started a couple of days ago. And it only happens on some programs and not on others, When I log in as the superadministrator I have now problems at all.
View 4 Replies View RelatedVista always says "Windows has blocked some start-up programs" when I reboot. So What! It doesn't offer a way to turn them off. How can I get rid of these bad programs, and why are they there? My Avast anti-virus and Ad Aware say I'm clean.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bits installed on my computer. Along with installing this, I also installed tons of drivers etc. however I do not need all of them at the start of every boot. So I wanted to delete them from the startup list, but this is not possible. When I go to Windows Defender > Launch programs, and click on the programs I want to disable from launching along with Windows, the options to Delete or Disable go grey.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a problem accessing some programs in my start menu. I use Windows Vista Home Premium. Some programs are accessible (such as iTunes) and some are not (such as Nero ShowTime). When I compare the properties of the Start Menu links for the accessible and the nonaccessible programs, I notice differences: In the Properties windows of the nonaccessible programs, there is no "Compatibility" tab and the "Target field" is grayed out, as are the "Open File Location" and "Change Icon" buttons. I don't get an error message when I click on the non-accessible links, I just get nothing. btw, I can access the programs from the Quick Launch bar or from Windows Explorer, but that is a hassle.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently had to reinstall Vista Windows and had to copy some of my program files across from the 'Old Windows' program file to the new Windows program file and they are now not all showing in the Start - All Programs menu or in the Programs and Features 'Uninstall or Change a program' list. How can I get all my programs into these two locations?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOne program is blocked. I have not been able to locate it in any start up folder, but it still shows up in Software Explorer's "StartUp Programs", with a "Not Yet Classified"Classification. When I try to "Disable" the program from Software Explorer, it grays out the Disable Button. Alternatively I have added the program to Advanced Options "Do not Scan...". No effect. I would prefer not to uninstall the program, but Defender's constant flagging is annoying.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOn my laptop, the Start Menu/All Programs items are listed with the Single Program items first and the Folders after them. Normally on the Start Menu/All Programs, the Folders are listed first and the individual programs after them. How do I get this order back? I tried going to Start/properties/start menu/customize and click and unclicked the "Sort All Programs...." feature and the order remains the same.
View 4 Replies View RelatedExplorer is no longer working properly in a few ways. Programs often take a long time to start and display “(Not responding)” on the their top window frames. Right click menu sometimes takes a long time to appear while explorer freezes. The explorer window itself is sometimes quite long to change the display when I change folder (this is far from often, but happens).
The first window to appear when we click on the Start Menu, the one with the large icons, is usually OK, but sometimes it does the same as the “All Programs” second window;
Here, the folders do not open and on Task Manager I can watch explorer taking up all the CPU available resources immediately after I pass to “All Programs”;
However, if I click “Back” (explorer stops abnormally using all CPU resources);
Then I click “All Programs” again and the previously clicked folder is now already open, but explorer is again up with CPU resources, so if now I click on a subfolder or on another folder, it all repeats again.
At this moment I don’t have backups to install.
I installed Photoshop CS3 today on Vista x64 Ultimate and gave it whizz to see if it worked ok - which it did - but i noticed that the start menu headings for the Photoshop programs are highlighted in yellow. Here's a screen grab:
The thing is, when i right-click on the yellow highlights to send the Photoshop icon to my desktop as a shortcut, i get no menu just the Aero mouse cursor rotating for a split-second and then the right-click doesn't work at all nor the shut-down button doesn't work! Now, i got the program off a mate who assured me it was from an original disc, but now i'm not too sure as it has all the hallmarks of a copy with a dodgy attachment - and no, i didn't see the disc in question as i just transfered the data from a folder on his drive onto a USB pen.
I am the only user on my laptop. I accepted the Toshiba settings when I bought the machine, but I realise that there are a number of features that are disabled that (as an administrator) I should be able to use. for example:
1. Windows Defender will show me the details of start-up programs but not allow me to remove/enable/disable anything (the buttons are greyed-out/disabled).
2. There are some folders (e.g. in my internet favourites) which are read-only and when I switch read-only off, it ignores what I've done - they remain read-only.
Windows defender alerts me when it blocks one of my start-up programs. Trouble is, it keeps alerting me throughout the day. I want to turn the alerts off. In Defender-Tools-Default Actions, I have set High Alert, Medium Alert and Low Alert all to Ignore. But it still alerts me.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDefender alerts me that it is blocking some start-up programs (little yellow speech-bubble in sys-tray says "Click here to see which programs are being blocked"). When I click the alert it opens Defender, but there is no indication of which program has been blocked. How can I find out?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhy is it that these Notebooks only are available with WindowsXP? I am
looking to buy one with 2GB of memory.so Vista would surely run which in
time I would upgrade to Windows7.
I purchased Microsoft 2007 Small Business.which installs with a DVD.
Notebooks don't come with DVD's. If I copy the DVD to a Flash
Drive.would Small Business install from the flash drive? Or, as I have
been told in the past, Microsoft software cannot be copied.period.no matter what you try to copy it to. It may copy but it will not run the Install file. Is this true? How would I install Small Business onto the Notebook?
I am looking forward to buy a netbook with windows 7 ; I?ve seen lots of configurations for Notebooks and Desktops, going from 2GB to 8 GB RAM. Of course more RAM is ok ; The thing is I want an acceptable computer, and the most I?ve seen announced is 2 GB RAM I know it will probably run Windows 7; but is 2 GB an acceptable number? Supposing a buy a computer with a Core 2 Duo processor and having in mind that I don?t care for games or graphics at all is the above configuration OK?
