i have a windows 7 starter edition sp1, and i know that this version doesnt have a gpedit.msc feature and i also tried downloading 1 but no luck about it. now i come to you guys for help coz i know u are all good at this, my problem is i just wanted to remove "uninstall or change a program" tab option when you open my computer. and i wanted to this using REGEDIT.
I got Windows Ultimate and decided to let it install language packs I don't need (I didnt actually know they'd take a huge amount of space). Part way through the installation I cancel one of the language packs and the whole update finishes (This was a fresh install). Now in the history it says some of the language packs installed successfully but in "control panel>Change Display Language" there is only English.I'm quite sure a few language packs did install because the SSD free space was shrinking after every install.
I am unable to open "Uninstall a program" through control panel. Every time when I try to open it, I get the following error message"
"Windows cannot find '::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}...:{7B81BE6A-CE2B-4676-A29E-EB907A5126C5}' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again".
However, I can open this in safe mode. Unsure why this is the case. I use Win 7 64bit.
I have Windows 7 and use Windows Media player. I put a cd in the other day and the thing played and ripped just fine, but everything on it like the song titles, artist, and album name was in a different language! It was a normal Van Halen cd, nothing weird. I have no idea why it came up as whatever that was. It saved onto my pc like that too.Then today I went to create something in Paint, and many of my downloaded fonts were gone. I opened openoffice and a few showed up, but many of the others were missing from there as well. I went into the font folder itself, and half of them were lightly greyed out and had other languages on them. If I clicked on one. then across the bottom showed that this font was 'designed for:' Thai, this one for Arabic, this one for Japanese, and so on. Well when I downloaded them they were in English, and working just fine last time I tried. If I open the font, it displays in English.I go to the clock, language and region, then I go to region and language, then to keyboards and languages and there is nothing there! there are no options to remove languages at all.
I have a workstation that when shutting down, displays the force shutdown option. I know why the message appears but I do not want others to have the ability to force the shutdown. We have a SQL operation running and when the shutdown is forced it corupts the database. How can i disable the force shutdown screen so the user does not have the option.
I formatted the drive that i had installed ubuntu on (it was installed in windows, not in a separate partition). But it still gives me the option to boot into ubuntu when i start the computer.
I have just installed a new ssd into my pc and cloned the drive and everything has been up and running fine for a few days with no problems. But now all of a sudden when I go into add/remove programmes there are no programmes listed! yesterday they were all there...
I installed a game that I didn't like so i wanted to uninstall it but if needed me to upgrade something which I didn't want to do, so I removed the game manually. Most of the time if I choose to uninstall the game after removing the game manually it just gives me an error and asks me if I want to remove it from the list. This time however, it didn't. It tried to uninstall it but gave me a different error telling me that something is missing and it can't uninstall the game. It doesn't remove the Programs list.

window programs adding that function to only .jpg but not other format.no I do NOT want to know how to add those functions to other format, and NO I do NOT want to learn or get use to it, I want it removed.I used default program editor, it doesn't show the way to remove it.I tried using shellexview, shellmenuview, both not user friendly, cant seem to find what I want.However I have found the registry in regedit to the rotate ones through shellviews but it won't let me make any changes. I tried giving permission so i can change it but it wont give me permission to give permission to change. when i change it says some program still running it but of course nothing is running it and ontop of all that I don't even know how or what to change.

I am attempting to uninstall (and then reinstall) Office 2010 Prof Plus. I am not able to remove it from Add/Remove programs, have read through some help info and attempted to use the Windows Fixit, Revo & Ripoutoffice2007, none of which have removed it (Revo didn't take it out and then pulled up a million 'left over' files, none of which I deleted).
Does anyone know how to remove the "safely remove hardware" icon in the taskbar? I do not mean hide it. I have my icons always show in the notification area because I don't like the arrow icon either.
I have a laptop HP PAVILION tx2550er. After installing AMD AHCI driver in the system tray shows the Safely Remove Hardware icon (my hard drive). How to remove (not hide!) the icon?
There are 2 options in the BIOS for my laptop fan:Silent and Normal.Right now, it is running under option 1 - "Silent".This may well be the reason why I don't hear any sound of the fan (unlike my other laptop that has a relatively noisy fan coming ON and OFF from time to time).Do I need to switch to "Normal" mode?Will there be any problem in the long run if I stay with the existing setting?The touchpad area and its vicinity are sometimes hot (not too much though) under the current setting. Has this anything to do with that BIOS option for the fan?
I reformatted/reinstalled 7 Ultimate yesterday. I unplugged my other drives before starting the reinstall.Now Windows 7 DOES recognize both drives.....but I don't get the bootloader screen that gives an option to start Older Version of Windows. It simply boots to Windows 7. How can I get Windows XP back on the boot menu?

I cut a whole novel in word, closed the file, created a new one and went to paste it. But it's not there. I went back to the original file, but the info wasn't there. I went online to get a data recovery software, but it's not in a file. It's just in the air. what can I do?
have Windows 7 Ultimate dual booted with Ubuntu 10.04. I don't use Ubuntu too much, so I want to uninstall it to free up some space from my hard drive.The last time I did this though, I couldn't boot into windows. How can I remove the Ubuntu partition while still being able to boot into Windows?
I am trying to upgrade from Vista 32bit to Windows 7 32bit but in the installation process the compatibility report/upgrade advisor says:
These programs might not work properly after the upgrade. We recommend uninstalling these programs before upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel, and search for "uninstall a program". (Note: Programs marked as * can be safely reinstalled after the upgrade.)
� ATI CATALYST Install Manager * � ATI Catalyst Control Center *
My problem is when I click Start, Control Panel, Programs and Features, I see ATI CATALYST Install Manager (3.0.710.0) and I can completely remove it but for ATI Catalyst Control Centre I can't even see it.
So now I�m stuck on what to do next because I don't want to install windows 7 if it recommends me to uninstall ATI Catalyst Control Center. What should I do?
Just to let you know: On the windows 7 compatibility center online I search software, ATI and it says both ati install manager and catalyst control center are compatible but when i run the upgrade advisor these programs appear. (as shown above)
Any ideas/comments will be much appreciated thank you.
EXTRA DEATAILS:
I have a Sony Vaio Laptop VGN-NW11S/S with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphics card
ATI Catalyst control center is 2.0.0.0 shown in upgrade report.
