Energy Management software keeps making shortcuts in the Start Menu

I just recently reformatted my laptop and installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I got the drivers from my laptop model's download page in the Lenovo support website, and everything was working fine - except for when the Lenovo Energy Management software would keep making shortcuts in the Start Menu every time I reboot the system.
I had my Start Menu organized, created folders to categorize my apps, so it's really annoying when a folder I already deleted pops up every time I start my laptop. Why does it happen? Is there a fix for it?

Hi Pommy,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that a shortcut is automatically getting created, I would suggest you to re-install the LEM (Lenovo Energy Management) in the computer and while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error.
Do post us back if the issue persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

How can i remove the jump list (with "frequent", "tasks") that comes with firefox shortcut in the start menu?

im using windows 7. when i tried adding a firefox shortcut to the start menu (above the recently opened programs) it added some kind of a side menu that stores the frequent sites i visited, and have some "tasks".
i dont want it and i want to remove it.
plz help.

Try to disable some browser.taskbar.*enable prefs on the about:config page.
browser.taskbar.lists.enabled;true
browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled;true
browser.taskbar.lists.maxListItemCount;7
browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled;false
browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled;true
browser.taskbar.previews.enable : Tools > Options > Tabs > "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar"
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Lenovo S12 Energy Management Software ?

Hey Everyone,
I had a quick question...
1) Does setting the Processor Preference to (HIGH) in the energy management software result in overclocking of the processor ?
2) Is it safe to keep it always on High (as opposed to Low or Auto)
Thank You

Hi there, no fear ...high setting is cpu 1,6 GHz, more lcd brighness ... all other settings will slower and more less.. brightness and so on...
Allways on high is more comfortable at home & plugged in ... or if you want your battery more earlier empty ..balanced is good for battery use ...

Expanding folders as submenus on the Start menu

You can add shortcuts to the Start menu, in the top left pane. If you add a folder there, when the user clicks on it, prior Windows versions would display its contents as a submenu. Windows 7 instead opens the folder in Explorer.
Is there a way to make it display a submenu instead?

You can do all this is the right pane (Win7, not sure others). R-click on start button, go to Properties, then in Start Menu tab go to Customize. Scroll down until you see Personal Folder and select Display as a menu radio button. Now all files/folders auto-expand
to their contents as you hover over them (click if you want). I added a MyDevelopment folder (just to keep naming conventions a bit, also have a Installs folder there. Now you can put all your development their. If you allready have development folder, navigate
to it. Clicking on an item launches it, or browses a sub-folder. R-clicking on folder allows you the option to open that folder.
As far as the Start Menu their are a lot of articles and utilities to adding expanding folders and moving start menu items to these for better organization. One simple trick is to pick an expanding folder drag copy to another existing folder. Rename that
copy to something and then move back to parent level. I've done this with two folders ("1" and "2") which can be use to create new folders of your own by r-drag/copy 2 to 1 (select copy!), re-name copied folder to what you want, move back to parent level.
Now you r-drag/copy any folder in you system to these (drag and hover over All Programs, continue to drag to your folder, hover, move in till you see a line and let go r-button. The folder and all their sub-folders become expandable.
Copy has to be done (will not copy contents just makes all short-cuts). Looking into making this process easier or write an app for assisting in this method but I sort like the popup menus in right pane.
I have also created my own toolbar on taskbar using my user dir for the new folder. A lot easier to make automatically everything is a popup when hover over. Had to make a "MyPrograms" folder in my user dir and create logical catagories there for programs.
Then same thing having to r-drag/copy folder/itmes in start menu to "MyPrograms" folder.
Have documented all this and if want to you can email me
[email protected]. Soon will have StartMenuOrganized doc done both detailing steps to accomplish all this. I don't know about you, I've looked at Win8 and why clutter up your screen with all these windows (in their new UI Metro/Aero?). Can allready do
this in other windows and drag drop items to apps and launch! Rather have clean desktop w/organized access to programs and data.

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

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"?>

Updating to Latest Energy Management Software

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I downloaded version 3.0.3 of the Energy Management software but never installed it because I first want to be sure it will work with my BIOS version.
I have BIOS version 14CN88WW installed. Does anyone know whether it will be okay to install the latest energy management software with this BIOS, or should I also update the BIOS?
The computer has had no problems (other than slow playback of some HD video). I just want access to the enhanced energy management features in version 3.03. I am currently running version 3.0 of the software, on Win XP.
Thanks again,
MIkejay

Lenovo Y510 Energy Management Software - Windows 7 64 BIT Help!

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (Retail) 64-BIT on a Ideapad Y510 with, but there is an error in device manager, it wants a ACPI driver, but the one provided doesn't install, and the driver software for the Lenovo Energy Management (To work with the Novo button) installs...but does nothing, nor is findable.
So is there other versions out there, or for example...the Y550, 650 etc. models, those running 64-BIT, would their Energy management software and ACPI drivers work?

The text on the Beta site is a bit confusing there is a "Power Management driver" of 20.1 MB this is NOT the driver but the Power Management application.
Then there are two different drivers of 0.99 MB.

These are the actual drivers. However I do not see your system listed for either driver so maybe it is not yet available?

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

The firefox profile manager doesn't come up when I search for it in the start menu or run.

I don't know if I messed it up which I probably did and I don't know what happened. I use two profiles. The default for the aurora/nightly and the one I made for the stable version. The default profile has the compatibility reporter and I wanted to install a program which wouldn't let me, so I changed the profile for the stable release to the default one. Somehow, ever since I can't access the manager in the start menu. So if I want to use the nightly and stable version at the same time, I can't anymore. When I log onto the administrator account, the manager comes up in the start menu and not in mine. Since i guess the manger is missing on my account now, I can't change the shortcuts to put it on a different profile.

Yea. I used it a couple times, so I know I have to close firefox. Also, I asked this late last night so I have to finish editing the post.

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

My sisters iPod four keeps on flashing betweeen the start up logo and the homescreen.weve tried charging it, restarting it and even connecting it to the computer but it's still doing it..... What can we do?

My sisters iPod four keeps on flashing betweeen the start up logo and the homescreen.weve tried charging it, restarting it and even connecting it to the computer but it's still doing it..... What can we do?

if it is taking screenshots, the home button might be defective from the hardware side. Restoring "as new ipod" without using the latest backup could solve the problem if it would be software related.
If it's a hardware problem, you should contact Apple and get it serviced, or visit an Apple Store if you have one next to you.

I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it.
Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read...
I went into the PC settings and tried to change the display resolution. This changes the size of all the icons (not only Adobe) but it does not solve the problem when I open an Adobe application (Photoshop or Illustrator)... The PC is run under Windows 8.1 and my display resolution is 3200x1800 (but again, when I change the settings for a smaller resolution, only the size of the icons is affected. Once I open the software, the problem is still there, extra-small toolbars...). Help!!!

Anything before CC is not high-DPI compatible. Feel free to continue to experiment with your system settings.

The information about pinned start menu is stored in two locations.

And the other is in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage2
