Start Menu folder structures

Hi
Is there a way of using Zenworks 7 type linked folders in Zenworks
Configuration manager 10?
I only want specific folders to be displayed and make sure people have to
follow a naming convention - Link folders gave me this functionality.
Thanks in advance
Oli

Just installed Visual Studio express 2013. Start menu folder empty.

I just installed Visual Studio express 2013 For desktop. On to my windows 7, 64 bit laptop.
After it installs it asks you if you would like to launch the program. So I clicked launch. And it never launched.
Furthermore when I go Into my start menu. I find why the Visual Studio 2013 folder.
And it's empty.
So I went ahead and tried to reinstall Visual Studio express 2013.
After I reinstalled it I had to restart my computer. I have done that. And my start menu folder is still empty.
I have no way of finding the executable file for Visual Studio express 2013.
And if I could I'm not confident that it would launch.
I decided maybe I should uninstalled completely and reinstall it.
I went to control panel>uninstall a program.
I selected Microsoft Visual Studio express 2013.
And then I selected uninstall.
a window pops up that says. " Microsoft Visual Studio express 2013 for windows desktop has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly . Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.".
so I can't fully uninstall the program. And reinstalling the program doesn't help.
why is this happening. What do I do. How do I fix this?

Hi HAL9090,
>>I find why the Visual Studio 2013 folder. And it's empty. And my start menu folder is still empty.
Do you mean that you can't find VS2013 in the start menu? Please click "All Programs" in the start menu to see if you can find it.
If you still can't find it, could you please tell us how you install it? From the web installer or by the downloaded setup file? If you have the ISO image, I suggest you verify its checksum. Perhaps you need to re-download one. If you have no one, please
download it from
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 with Update 4 for Windows Desktop - English
DVD5 ISO image
The correct checksum is
4AE40D10B303C034F6D6230CE21F0295E5CD708C
You can download the
fciv.exe tool to verify the checksum.
Once it matches the correct one, please make sure that your windows is patched up and disable the anti-virus software. At last, install VS.
What's more, it seems that you can't uninstall VS2013. If you want to uninstall it, you can use the setup file to uninstall it. Please double click it to open it, then you can choose to uninstall it in the pop up dialog.

Hi Zargar,
>>Using server 2008 R2 and the clients are Windows 7 Professional; i am getting empty start menu.
This is normal, for we disabled the option
Move the contents of Start Menu to the new location. This option is enabled by default and it will automatically move the existing content to the new location.
At this moment, we can manually copy the files we want from the local locations.

ITunes 7 ...too good to be true... start menu folder problems

If any one out there like me and prefers to keep there start menu / programs organized then you might run into this ... itunes 7 automatically installs itunes into the directory directly under start menu/programs....and if i try to move the folder into a sub-folder such as start-menu/programs/media folders ... itunes will reinstall itself and make another new folder under start-menu/programs .... this is quite upsetting

hahahaha!
It said my ipod update was complete. Then when I go to disconnect it, it says "itunes is updating the ipod. are you sure you want to disconnect it?"
lol
it appears to be ruiening all the tracks on my ipod with its gapless playback.
looks like its time to uninstall iTunes 7, go back to the previous version, restor my ipod to factory settings and remove all the songs, then start over.
I love apple "upgrades"

Start Menu Program Group/Folder Evaported

OK, so I really tried to find hints in the forums & knowledge base, but I guess my search-fu just isn't up to it; thus apologies if this is boring:
I'm running CS5 Design Premium on Windows 7 Home Premium x64; all are patched & up to date. I just noticed today that the start menu folder for Creative Suite is missing. I've tried exporing for it in the hard drive but it is missing there just like it is on the start menu. The applications are still installed and I can start them directly from their exectuables. It's just that the folder in the start menu has gone missing. I have no clue why or how long it has been, a few days at most.
While I'd love to know how it happend, I'd be satisfied if if there was a "repair install" facility that will recreate it, short of actually reinstalling (and re-patching) the whole thing, which seems silly, or building one by hand, which seems tedious. The control panel "Programs and Features" entry seems only to be interested in uninstalling.
FYI I also have Lightroom x64 and Premiere Elements installed, in the unlikely event that it matters.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide,
--Bob

Well, yes, of course; this is what I meant when i said "building one by hand". But there's 14 links in there, several of which I would never have remembered. Many applications -- including ones that cost far less than CS -- have a "repair install" option that will go look for and fix any such breakage, and I was wondering if CS could do that, or if the only other option was in fact to fully uninstall the product, reinstall from distribution and re-download and apply all the patches. One solution (manual reconstruction) is highly error-prone, while the other (reinstall) is very time-consuming. I was lucky to have a filesystem backup, so that's a third solution but not one that will be available to everyone.

No Start Menu created during installation

On Vista Ultimate SP1 I installed FireFox 4.0 and choose for custom installation. Under 'Create Icons for FireFox' I only disabled 'On my Desktop'. The other two options where marked.
The icon in the Quick Launch bar is created but there is no Start Menu folder?

Did you previously had Firefox installed?
The Firefox 4 RC version is a regular release and will replace the current Firefox entry in the Start menu even if you do a custom install (haven't tested this, so I might be wrong). You can easily create a new entry in the Start menu yourself if it is missing by dragging the desktop icon to the start menu or by using Windows Explorer to create a folder structure in "C:\Users\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox" if that folder is missing.

Keeping a menu/folder within its portlet

When I post to a page a menu or a folder the first level appears placed in the portlet; however, if I start navigating thru the menu/folder structure then replaces the browser window with the next level. How can I keep it within the original portlet, or in case this is impossible, can it be sent to a different browser window...?
Thanks.

in iAS 1.0.2.1 we have the same behavor (ie when we click on submenu it tooks us to a new window)
The code is done (take look to the Menu Items and Submenus frame), it does perfetly what we want. So why this is not applied to the menu result???
Any news about that?
Thanks

Start Menu items/shotcuts and Start Menu search ability on multiple workstations

2/13/2014 our IT department began to receive complaints of missing programs. After investigation of a few users we were able to determine that the programs existed but all shortcuts and items from the start menu had been completely removed. In addition the
searching feature of the start menu was not functional. This happened to about 90% of our environment and the catalyst seemed to be Windows updates or at least occurred after the auto reboot initiated by Windows Updates. The only items visible in start
menu were items added after the fact, internet explorer, magnifier, command prompt, and notepad. All other items, folders, and the ability to search installed programs or folders were completely removed. However all programs are present in the program files
folders. THe start menu folder in program data was empty except for the aforementioned items. Additionally properties of start menu had all necessary checks in boxes such as search program files and folders etc. Also show hidden items and folders is enabled
for many users so the items were not hidden but gone. And the biggest kicker of all was after a full domain investigation into the issues we found that the majority of our windows server platforms, primarily 2008, were also affected and system restore is unavailable.
This conflicts with our idea that Windows Updates caused this since our servers get their updates on a manual initiated basis by their admins which we have not performed as of yet for this month. This caused me to begin looking at SCCM SCEP as all systems
have System Center Endpoint Protection and received definition updates. Also accessing different user profiles or even a new profile did not make a difference, issue still present.
Due to the enormous inconvenience we sent out a company wide email asking users to perform system restores to get us in a stable state. A system restore to the day before Windows updates (second Wednesday of every month configured by SCCM SCUP) restored
the start menu items.
On a multitude of machines IT performed troubleshooting and system restores recording the changes removed and added. We then, on a healthy machine, started to apply the windows updates and SCEP (antivirus) definitions 1 by 1 with out success of replicating
the issue. Next we performed a system wide antivirus full scan and did not find any viruses. This is obviously not a system criticle issue bringing us down but is a huge concern for us in IT as it happened company wide and caused a large flux of tickets and
some down time for non-technical users. We most definitely want to know the cause and after several days of investigation and troubleshooting Im turning to the Microsoft community for help.
I know I categorized this as a Windows 7 issue and its affecting windows server 2008, 2003, and 7, but I did not see a forum for all windows platforms. Since the majority of affected users are Windows 7 I opened it here.
So to summarize in a bulleted format:
Issue: Wide spread issue affecting around 60-70 users and servers, all profiles, were all start menu items save one or two system defaults were removed. Additionally the searching feature for the start menu looks to be broken as programs
exist in program files and are unsearchable from start menu. IT was also affected and I remain affected until I find the cause.
Investigation and Troubleshooting:
Start menu properties: nothing has changed and search options are enabled.
Missing items are not hidden, hiding and unhiding does nothing and folder options show hidden files is checked.
Program data start menu location is indeed empty as well as user app data start menu location
No group policy's are in place altering start menu items and no group policy changes were made as of recent
No SCCM packages pushed company wide in last month or pushed individually
Windows Updates occurred on windows 7 machines only before the issue occurred and computers restarted and the issue surfaced
System Center Endpoint Protection Antivirus updates and definitions deployed just before the occurrence with windows updates. SCEP def updates happen on all windows boxes to include servers
Paint.exe was completely missing from system32 folder for some users machines to include my own
System restore to that morning before restarts or previous day fixes the issue for windows 7 users
No windows updates were initiated on any servers
Servers were also affected with windows 7 machines
About half the users affected had corrupt Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus Click to Run installations and for some the system restore did not fix this and we had to re-install office for around 10 users
SCEP antivirus did not catch any viruses that could cause this, I performed MBAM scans on a handful of machines and didn't find anything either.
Re-creating start menu shortcuts works
Happened to two of our companies locations NH and MA, all part of the same domain but different LANS of course. Companies are interconnected by MPLS connection.
I combed through SCCM to see if anything deployed and found nothing. Currently I have SCUP updates and SCEP updates disabled. I will post a list of Windows Updates that occurred when the issue occurred as well as the SCEP updates. I have read all the threads
about this types of issues and tried all steps without success. Googling the issue also did not rear results.

Hi,
I would like to suggest you try these steps to figure out what could be causing this problem.
1. Run Troubleshooter
Open the Search and Indexing troubleshooter
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Search-and-Indexing-troubleshooter
2. Create a new library and include fewer folders for test purpose. Now search for a file from that folder. See if it works.
Create a new library
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-new-library
3. Try to rebuild search indexing. Refer the steps from the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-advanced-indexing-options
Also you may use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to check the issue. The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

Desktop/Start Menu Icons won't stay away...

Ok, here's my dilemma. I am very meticulous about my desktop Icons and my start menu organization... I keep a quick launch Icon for iTunes, but no start menu or desktop icons... however, since I've upgraded to iTunes 7, every time I restart iTunes it reinstalls the icon and the start menu folder, and I cannot find an option to disable said icons... it's REALLY annoying me, as was the (seemingly) corrected stuttering issue... this is really a disappointing new iTunes upgrade... I'm very surprised that apple would rush out such a shoddy product...I haven't tried syncing my iPod yet, I'm afraid to... I just hope that my new 80 gig will work fine once I get it...

iBod,
OK, that seems to have done the trick. I had to play around with the grid spacing – there seems to be a setting somewhere just right of the middle of the scale that enables icons to be positioned almost at the L/H edge of the desktop.
Thanks for your help. One of those ultimately unimportant but nonetheless annoying little issues.

Windows 8 Start Menu Shortcut

Howdy,
Prior to Windows 8, I was creating a folder with company name in the Start Menu root and then a subfolder in it for each product.
Start Menu Root :: XCompany :: Product1
:: Product2
:: Product3
Using the same architecture in Windows 8 and 8.1, it just recognizes root folders in Start Menu and disregards sub folders.
It means that all my product shortcuts are shown in XCompany folder and ProductX folder is disregarded.
I checked in Win8 they're here:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Is that behavior expected? Should I force my installer disregard XCompany root folder and just create ProductX folders in the Start Menu folder?
Or solution is something else?
Thanks for advise.

Hi,
In Windows 8, it can allow 2 level navigation on Start screen/ All apps. And yes, we have to create ProductX folders in the Start Menu folder
We must create shortcuts for both your XProduct folder and the sub items under this folder.
For example:
For local user, Under folder:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

How to remove a folder and some links from start-menu

Hi!
An application (Kaspersky Antivirus) is installed on quite
some Win2K-SP-Workstations by the Kaspersky Administration
Kit (with its own installer).
With this installation an entry to the start-menu is made
and this entry shall be removed by Zfd 3.2-SP3. I ran
through some tests with an application-object (run as secure
system user), which only intent was to remove this entry.
First I tried by "Distribution Options - Application Files"
to remove the folder "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
Windows Workstations". Then I tried a "Distribution Script"
with "RD /S /Q "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
Windows Workstations"", which also failed.
Do I miss something? Where could I check the results of
those tries to get a better feeling on what is going wrong
here?
Thanks in advance.
Karl

When doing the job with an *.bat-file it works, when going
with the distribution script it does not. Are all the
windows/dos/batch commands available in the distribution
script option?

Cannot create Folder and then add AppV sequenced apps in the Start menu

Hi,
I have managed to sequence the apps properly using the App-V 5.0 SP2 sequencer. But after adding the package and publishing it globally, when i mount the package in my App-V client machine, it creates a direct application shortcut in the Start menu. What
I want is to create all the App-V sequenced apps in a Folder in start menu so that users do not get confused by the overwhelming list of apps. Please suggest if there is a way possible.
Thanks!

Hi
I managed to install App-V client on a new server and mount the package again.
But still I can't seem to get it work the way I want. I want to see a Folder in the start menu hosting my App-V apps. Even though I have given the same setting in the APP-V management server, it still publishes the app directly in the start menu. I can't
understand how else to test this. What am I missing? Pls point me correctly
Ben
De Vriese & Tiberivs
Find some screenshots for better understanding the issue.
Also when i try the Publishing server URL from my client machine or any machine, I get the below output. Has this got something to do with the problem I am facing? Is it able to load the changes that I am doing, any SQL permissions problem?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<Publishing Protocol="1.0">

How can I start or open Firefox?

HI SBPARK,
When you installed Firefox, did you uncheck the option to create a short cut?
In order to pin to the toolbar, when you have Firefox open, right click on the icon in the bar and select "Pin to task bar".

I did this -- Windows 7 and Vista 1. Select the Start Menu in the Windows Taskbar. 2. In the Search box, enter the following: %APPDATA% 3. Press Enter. 4. From the Application Data folder, navigate to Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. 5. D

When I sign out of FF and want to go back in, I have to go through Task Mgr each time by deleting FF and then signing back in. I followed these directions -- Select the Start Menu in the Windows Taskbar. 2. In the Search box, enter the following: %APPDATA% 3. Press Enter. 4. From the Application Data folder, navigate to Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. 5. Delete the file xpicleanup.dat. 6. Restart Firefox. --- but I could not find Mozilla Firefox under 'Program Files'.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a week ago

Where did you find those instructions to delete the '''xpicleanup.dat''' file?
