Program Shows On All Programs But Not On Username
May 20, 2007
I have Windows XP Pro, SP2.
I have a situation where a program shows on "All Programs" but not in C:Documents and SettingsusernameStart MenuPrograms or C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuPrograms in Explorer. How can I see that shortcut or whatever in Explorer?
Also, on C:Documents and SettingsusernameStart MenuPrograms and C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuPrograms there appear items (files, shortcuts, whatever) of the same name. What's going on here?

When I click on my Programs Menu and it shows my programs the columns are huge. I don't know how they got so big but I would like to make them smaller because there is no room for new installed programs to show in the columns.

How can I prune down the number of items shown in the context menu for certain file types? I have a situation where several erroneous programs are listed as "Open With" possibilities, the result of a trial-and-error attempt on my part to find the proper file viewer.I also notice that, in the "Open With" options that list "Recommended Programs" and "Other Programs," there are two listings of the same program. How can I eliminate the duplicate?

On boot up I get a notice that file americ~.dat could not be found. Everything is working ok as far as I can tell but this is busting my chops and annoying the hell out of me. I have run registry cleaners thinking this is a left over from an application I uninstalled but it still shows up. An ideas on how I can track down what is looking for this file?

I am running XP. The system is crawling. When I do a Task Manager or Ctrl Alt Delete, the little green square is full up and this is with no programs running except Windows. I am using Finity Soft Memory Manager and this program says Free Ram 54%, Memory Load Index 44%, and CPU 100%. How do I find out what programs are running other than using Task Manager which shows no programs running?

For the life of me I just don't remember how to put a program icon in the (All Programs) list. Start to All Programs. I tried using properties > customize, but no luck. Will make a note after words.

I am trying to remove a program from my computer, its Superantispyware, however I cannot find the program listed in add/remove programs. Very weird! Has anyone ever heard of this happening before? Is this an issue with this particular program? It was recommended to me on this forum, but I decided to stick with Spyware Dr instead.

In Windows XP, the Windows Explorer application is found under "start/programs/accessories". I clicked on the application listing there and dragged it on to my desktop. There is now an icon on the desktop for it, but it has disappeared from the apps listings in "start/programs/accessories". How can I restore the program listing there?

I found something in my Add/Remove Programs called "My Way Search Assistant", which I removed - evidently successfully,as there is no trace of it in registry or programs. My problem is, however, the entry in Add/Remove remains but only with the name "My Way Search Assistant" and when I click on it all that shows is "Used Rarely"It has no size and no longer has any option to change or remove.I have looked for registry entries there are none is there a program listed.

I downloaded a program and found out that I cannot delete it. Every time I turn on my pc It comes out and every time I log out, it stay on on my pc. So, I deleted it and then I discovered that all my programs became a executable link.

I removed a program via the add/remove programs and it seemed as though everything was removed... no traces of it on the desktop or via the start up menu. However, browsing through, (is it still windows explorer?), I saw that the folder is still there and full of goodies. Can I just delete the entire main folder? I get nervous in and around there since something is always sharing something from somewhere else.

Here's my system - Thinkpad T41P running Win XP Pro SP2. Here's my problem. I do not seem to be able to change a username. I can go into Control Panel and the username looks right, my first name, followed by a space, followed by my last name. But when I tried to connect to the c: drive on this machine from another computer on my network, for example from my MAC, I get asked for a username and password and then get told that I do not have permission to access this server. I can try connecting as another user, for example my wife's account, which is set up the same way, first name, space and last name. That connect's fine. So I narrowed the problem down to my username. When I went into the Properties dialogue box for the c: drive and the sharing tab and then checked the permissions, I see my name and then in parentheses THINKPADfirstname. IIf I click Add

When I log into a website the computer is not asking me if I want the computer to remember the password and username so that I don't have to type it again the next time that I visit the same website! The problem is only in IE cause in MSN explorer is still asking me.

I have a client that uses xp on one of there work stations and we have a bit of a issue with the username login field. The field seems to be missing and, the login administrators names is in its place. It cannot be used for the walk in public because we do not want people to use that system for the simple reason of security. Is there a way to bring up the login field? The password field opens up.Why does xp show the color user login icons when it comes to this window after loging in? I would like the user not administrators name to pop up in the login name field every time. and can group pilicy template be moved from one xp desktop to another for replication purpouses? Tried of users adding software and making changes to desktop or OS.

I recently brought an old laptop from work to my home to use as a kitchen computer. I already have an existing workgroup and wanted to change the computer from my office domain to my home workgroup. I went into control panel and took it off the domain and put it on my workgroup. I went to start it this morning and I am unable to log in. XP asks me for a password and I try to enter my old office password and it doesn't log in. I tried logging in as Administrator w/ no password, as "kitchen" with no password, and without any username or password at all and none of them let me log in. How do I get back into my computer?!?!?!?

When you use any Windows plaform (XP, 2000, NT4, 98...) to logon to domain,the logon dialog box always shows the username and domain (last successfulattempt).
Is it possible to clear the username (so username and password field are empty when next logon)?
It is because we have some computers that shared by many different users. I don't want to let them know who was the last successful logon

I need to reformat the entire computer. It's an old laptop that was used for business and therefore has all of these programs on it that I do not want anymore. Things like asking for a username and password at startup. I know you guys may say "boot from the XP CD" but will this erase EVERYTHING? By the way, I do want to erase everything.

I have never had a password set up on my computer (XP home edition) and one day the computer requested a username and password at logon (never had a logon screen pop up). I was in the middle of loading mcafee, which seemed to be the beginning of the problem. I do not know how to get around this. I have tried safemode, but the computer still asks for a username and password for safe mode.

Today when I tried to reboot a Windows 2000 Server box it proceeds through the startup process VERY slowly and when it finally gets to the login box and I enter the administrative username and password that has always worked in the past, I get the following error:userinit.exe - Application Error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.When I click OK the desktop will not come up and the server is useless. I have seen some other information about this error, but most of them assume that the computer is accessible. I have not been able to get to a desktop normally or through any safe mode options.
