I added some new software to my Pc (Win XP system) and now I notice that when I use the Start - All Programs - and view my list of programs I have 3 x Wide Columns but I can't se the 3rd column fully as the first 2 are really wide pushing the 3rd nearly off the screen.
How to narrow this view list.I tried to 'drag' the walls of the colunm but that option is not available.
I would like to put my icons back in the area that is reached via Start/All Programs/ and then associated
with the specific program. How to do it?
I want to remove the icons from my desktop.
I know I can delete those, but how do I get the icons back to the Programs
menu?
For example, once I drag the Word icon from Start/All Programs/Microsoft
Office
onto my desktop, the Word icon is gone from the All Programs list. How do I
get it back in that list?
When I open the START menu/ All Programs, the main list with all the program folders is there but the final files to click are blank, I only get a box,raised from what ever background is present at the time.
At this time the hidden icons on the taskbar open and close extremely slowly
when operated.
I found a temporary fix by deleting anything, so we make a new folder and immediately delete it. This corrects both problems instantly until the next reboot but needs to be done separately for each user that logs on.
I am using Windows XP/SP2 a newish computer and some things changed from how it used to be.From the *Start* Button, there is the further button *Programs*. This then has the fly-out menu which used to open only the most recently accessed programs. Typically, after a boot it would show the items which opened in *Start-Up*, the rest were accessible only by hovering the mouse cursor over a button showing downward pointing arrows (more chevron like). This would then open the entire sub menu of programs to choose from. However, in the past week it now opens in that expanded view all the time. There is no sign of the little arrows anymore, and I always end up with a screen full of program lists whenever I go to Start/Programs.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've reinstalled XP and some icons are missing from the "Start"/"all programs" menu. Both Outlook Express and Internet Explorer are missing. I was able to locate them using "search" then open and pin to start menu. (The search function displays i.e. shortcuts for "administrator", "guest" and the other user, but not for me. The icons do display on the "all programs" list for the other user). Any suggestions as to how to get them back on the "all programs" menu?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I click on the "All Programs" in the start menu, it comes up in one long single listing.
It used to be 2 listings, when the 1st had enough, the second listing would be next to it. However it's all in a single listing now. How can I get it back to 2 lists??
This is a clear explanation.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have tried searching this forum and did some Googling but haven't seen a cure for this. I have a pretty fair amount of programs installed and my 'all programs' list is pretty long. The problem is it takes almost 30 seconds to scroll from the top to the bottom, which is annoying when I want to start a program that's at the bottom (or top) of the list. Does anyone know of a registry hack or something that can speed it up?

Is there a way to remove certain things from the Add/Remove Programs file list? I've manually deleted about seven programs, because their Uninstall would not startup, but the programs stay on the list.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a PC running Windows 2000 (Me) and I getting the following error message:
Terminating thread due to a stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed, has consumed too much stack space. Increase the setting of 'MinSPs' in SYSTEM.INI or remove recently installed VxD's. There are currently 15 SPs allocated. Press any Key to continue.
When I press any key I get the following error message:
There are no spare stack pages. It may be necessary to increase the setting of 'MinSPs' in SYSTEM.INI to prevent possible stacks faults. There are currently 16 SPs allocated. Press any Key to continue.
When I press any key I get the first error message again and again. The number of SPs allocated in the error message keeps increasing every time I press a Key.
The only way to acces my PC is with the SAFE Mode.
If there is a trick or program that will let me get a list of all the programs in my add/remove programs list

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an NEC laptop with Windows XP. I ran C-cleaner today and under the 'Tools' section, found in the 'Uninstall' section several strange programs that I have never installed. I don't know whether to remove them or leave them as they are. I've had the experience of deleting some mystery programs off my old computer and then finding that something or other couldn't run, so I'm deathly afraid that the same thing will happen on my laptop. I'll list out my NEC laptop mystery program names here.
what these programs are and whether to uninstall or leave them? Here they are:
1. AppCore
2. AV
3. ccCommon
4. CP2101 USB to UART Bridge Controller
5. Internet Worm Protection (could this be part of the trial version of Norton Antivirus on my comouter?)
6. SPBBC 32bit
7. SymNet
Also, I've checked other forums that say the following programs (which I didn't install but are on my Programs to Remove list in CCleaner) are harmless, but I just want to make sure they really are. Here is the list:
1. CameraDrivers
2. Director
3. QFolder
4. SkinsHP1
5. SkinsHP2
6. TIxx21/x515
7. TrayApp
8. Unload
9. WebFldrs XP
10. WebReg
I am reinstalling windows xp. i have had it running for 4 years and its getting slower so i'm thinking of doing a clean install.
what i want to know is; is there a way to list all the currently installed programs to assist me with the reinstallation. I want to be able to print out a list so i can install the same programs again-- bar a pile i will leave off.
When I do "Inicio/Todos los programas" and I try right button on mouse to display menu to select the option to classify the list of programs in alphabetical order, this not works. Only a blink appears but not
the options list. I have XP Pro SP2.
When I click on start - all programs, the list opens, but only three programs are there now. Set program access and defaults, Internet Explorer, and Windows media player.
All other program links are gone. This is very recent, and the only thing that has changed recently is the XP service pack 2 downloaded and installed. I am currently running McAffee 2004
I can't seem to get rid of the remnants some Nokia programs that my son installed on the PC.
They wouldn't uninstall using the conventional method so I just deleted the folders and used Registry Medic to clean up the mess.
The only thing left is in the add/remove programs list.
I have gone in the registry and in the 'uninstall section' removed all things 'Nokia' but still they remain.
Just ran my Add/Remove Programs utility from the Control panel, and it said populating please wait.
Half an hour later, the list still has nothing in it !
Windows XP Home Edition SP 2
How can I fix this?
When I go into the add remove programs from the control panel, the list never gets displayed. I get a 'Please wait while the list is populated...", but nothing happens after that. This is on a fresh install on a new PC, with only about 6 programs installed (Photoshop, Photomechanic, etc). Nothing out of the ordinary.
