        Dad has recently retired. There is nothing else to do at home except for some flowers and plants. In the first few days, he still felt very relaxed, but in a few days I could see that he was very depressed. According to reports, when the old man just retired, he was easy to be lonely and lonely. He needed family companionship and enlightenment. But my daughter could not be with him for a long time, so I thought of buying a computer to relieve him.

natural need to configure the computer so good, after all, the old man is usually browse the web and what a game of chess, and choose the right machine, naturally chose the most popular now Win7 operating system. Just caught up with the genuine upgrade promotion of win7, although the bought brand desktop is pre-installed with Win7 ordinary home version, but because of the activity relationship, it has been upgraded from the online mall to the home premium version. When I went home to brag about the performance of this computer, I naturally boasted that I finally learned to save money and not squander. Although I didn’t know how to understand my father, I still laughed.

father a few days to call me home Ji Zhao, said he could not find these days fell in love with the latest "Landlords", so I gave him a look, I received a transfer order natural I rushed back to my home. I thought it was the program that was accidentally deleted. I didn't expect it just because my dad got used to the shortcut in the start menu. I didn't see it again this time, so I don't know how it is. it is good.

Because when I was doing simple computer literacy for my dad, I only taught him several ways to use shortcuts. Generally, when I open the software, I double-click the shortcut on the desktop of the computer to start the program. Quick and easy. Below, let's take a look at how to make the program that my father loves appear in the start menu again.

First of all, we have to consider that these shortcuts is how it disappeared? There may be a virus in the computer. The malicious program of the virus cleans up the shortcut of the start menu. It may also be that the optimization tool cleans up the extra shortcuts on the start menu when optimizing the system. Of course, there are not only these two possibilities, but only the two most likely ones.

Look at the picture is the shortcut in our usual start menu, if it is empty, it is really inconvenient. Not only that, but in the above we can also directly find other commonly used Word and other documents, do not have to go to my computer to find. If we just have fewer individual shortcuts, not all or most of them are lost, so you can use manual repair directly. But when all or most of the shortcuts are missing, but you can search for them from the start search box and they can run normally, it is possible that the related folder is hidden.

When losing individual shortcuts, we can directly find the running file of this program, then create a shortcut and paste it into "C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\" Menu\\Programs below. This way, the shortcut for this software will appear in the Start menu. Have you found out that it is very simple to solve?

When all or most of the shortcuts are not seen However, when we can search for them from the beginning of the search box and can run normally, what we have to solve is the hidden problem of the folder. First we have to enter "C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\" in the address bar of the page. Start Menu", and press Enter.


Then right click on the blank space of the open window and select the "Properties" option, the page shown above will appear. We will see now Just under the "General" tab, look at the properties option and check if the "Hide" property is checked. If so, clear the checkbox and click "OK"

There are also some computers involved in the permissions issue, if the pop-up confirmation window pops up, you just need to enter the administrator account name and password, or click "Continue" to complete. One possibility is that if even "all programs" disappeared, we can check the configuration status of the computer group policy related items to try to solve the problem.

Summary: After completing these steps, everyone goes Look at the start menu, are the shortcuts that have disappeared come back? If the above methods have no way to solve the problem, in the end we have the trick, that is to use system restore or use the installation CD to repair the computer's system. solve.
