Guids appear in start menu ?

Have a problem which I think occurs when users log onto different
workstations. In other words, if they always log onto the same box, I
don't think it happens.
The problem is that GUIDS start appearing in the Start Menu Folders after
the Group Name/Description. For example, it will be correct and the user's
NAL start menu will say something like MS Word and there'll be an
application object off that which they use to launch the application. At
times, something happens and the Nal Start Menu displays MS Word {CF8EF420-
3DF3-11D0-AC35-00C04FD9338A}. The application still works but the start
menu is really ugly this way.
If I delete the user's roaming profile (from their netware home
directory), it goes back to normal.
We are using Zen 3.2, Naldesk, DLU volatile, roaming profiles, Windows XP
SP1 and some SP2.
Any ideas?

A colleague of mine has reported that this behaviour goes away with the
4.9 Client service-pack 2 and post-service-pack 2 "C" patches.
I haven't verified it.

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop
I got a new laptop Windows 7. I installed Blackberry Desktop apparently successfully. However, doesn't appear on start menu nor desktop.

Hey tgcraighead,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
After the installation did you restart the computer? If you go into Control Panel>Programs and Features do you see BlackBerry Desktop Software listed in the applications?
Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Reconfig of Oracle 10g, Programs in Start Menu.

Hi
1. My window on C: drive was corrupted, and my Oracle 10g was o D: drive.
2. I installed new window, reconfig my Oracle 10g Database.
3 But i have lost all utilites/program listing of 10g, appeared in Start Menu.
Plz, tell me the way how we can reconfig this thing in our window.
Thanks.
Regards
<The above Question was posted on Database Installation Forum two-3days ago, I thing no can answer this>

If you reinstalled the oracle product this is enough to have your menu 'rebuilt'. It actually doesn't rebuilds the menu, it rather creates new entries.
I suggest you to take a look at the installation forum where you posted this same thread. At the installation forum I initially understood you didn't reinstall the Oracle Home, but you 'reconfigured your database'.

SCCM 2012 SP1 - Software Center appears twice in Start Menu

Hi guys,
i just finished implementing a fresh SCCM 2012 SP1 Installation for a customer. The whole OSD works like a charm (except some issues with the latest Windows updates breaking the whole OSD, will open a separate thread for this soon), but after the deployment
the Software Center is appearing twice in the Start Menu (We're using Win7 Enterprise SP1 x86 English with 5 integrated language packs). I first thought this has something to do with the integrated language packs, but both Start Menu entries
are always in the same language.
The strange Thing is, that one entry for the SCCM Software Center is called "Software Center" and the other one "SoftwareCenter" (without a space). We configured 2 Client policies, one with EP-enabled and one without EP. We
deployed the Client Settings to different collections so i don't think that this is causing the Problem?Do you guys have any idea why this is Happening?
Has anyone ever seen this? See a screenshot below:
Thank you.
Cheers
Stefan

Thanks for your Response Thomas.
I don't think it is related to the upgrade to SP1.I think it might be a General issue in SP1. I started with a fresh SCCM 2012 SP1 Installation and i also have 2 Software Center entries in my start menu. If i check the shortcut i can see that one shortcut
was created when i captured my base Image, the other one was created during the Install OS Task Sequence.

RoboHelp HTML 7 Not Appearing In Windows 7 Start Menu

I have W7, 64Bit. When I run RH7 HTML, it never appears in my recent list of programs run in the Start Menu. Other programs do, but RH7 does not. I have my Start menu properties set at the highest number of recent programs and jumps allowed. I also cleared many of my recent programs so room could be made for it to appear.
Not sure if this is a RoboHelp 7 question or a Windows forum question. Just thought I'd see if anyone else ran into the same issue.
Thanks
Shawn

Hi Shawn
I think I'd ask the question as well in a Windows forum just to be on the safe side.
Additionally, I suppose it's possible that some type of special coding is required for applications to register themselves with Windows.
Out of curiosity, you are able to make Windows 7 work with RoboHelp 7? I ask because I never could on my own Windows 7 64 bit system. I ended up installing the Microsoft Virtual Machine with XP mode to do that.
I would also encourage you to report as a Bug to Adobe. While I'm pretty certain it won't have any effect on seeing a patch emerge for RoboHelp 7, it will at least put the issue on the radar for Adobe to monitor with any future versions of RoboHelp.
And as a last item, you may wish to configure your Taskbar so that you have the Quick Launch bar. That makes it super easy to launch items. Ether that or try pinning the item. I'm not all that fond of pinning yet.
Cheers... Rick

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

Mail Icon from STart menu has wrong user info

we set up the new 400 pavilion slimline pc, and see an incorrect user name in the start menu. first question is how to change that. next, when we click on the Mail icon, a different user name appears (what appears is username and password request info that was sent from my work pc to this home pc as a means of testing and practise for the homeowner to access mail) it's like the home pc took over my work username info and installed it in the Mail icon set up!
in sum, how can we change what first appears as an incorrect user name, and set up the correct user name on the Mail icon prompt. the home owner can access and get mail, so that works fine but we added the comcast account link into 'favorites' folder as a means to connect into her mail. we naturally want to make this easier by just selecting the Mail icon off the Start menu. thanks! tc17

Office Start Menu Shortcuts Keep Vanishing!

I have Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Office 2013 Professional with all current updates installed. I prefer to run with Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook on the 'Start Menu' and until recently, this has been working fine. For the last couple
of weeks however the shortcuts for Word, Excel and Powerpoint keep vanishing! Strangely, the Outlook shortcut always remains! I can go to the all programs display, select them and use 'Pin to Start' and they obligingly appear, I move them into
the correct group, they stay there for a while and then vanish! It has even done it in front of my eyes! The Start Menu appeared to slide off to the right and then slide back. When it slid back into view, they were gone!
Has anyone else seen anything like this or have any idea what the problem may be?

Hi,
Was your computer in a Domain?
Please check if there is any schedule or GP to regularity reset Start screen layout.
Also, consider the corrupted user profile issue, you can check whether this issue also happened on another user account.
This issue can also be caused by corrupted system components, you can try to use this command to restore healthy:
Please make sure to run CMD as Administrator:
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Update this thread after you check my suggestions.

Your instructions for recovering your profile with all your info (for vista) is not working on my end, when I copy and pasted the line in the start menu it came up with no hits...

When I tried to recover my profile (I am going to be reformatting and wanted to save my bookmarks and passwords) the line in your help that I was supposed to type into the start menu came up with zero hits, if you could let me know what the problem may be I would appreciate it, thanks!

Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

The "recently used programs" section on the start menu has disappeared - how do I get it back?

On the start menu, the top few programs are those that I use frequently. There used to be a line, and underneath the line appeared the programs that I have most recently used (other than the frequently-used programs above the line). This bottom section has disappeared - how can I get it back? Running XP with Firefox 33.1.

This is a Windows question, not a Firefox question. Try using a search like www.bing.com/search?q=restore+recently+used+programs+windows+xp for help.

ITunes locks up my Start Menu

Has anyone ever run into this? I have iTunes on three machines - my home PC, my work PC, and a laptop. I use an external hard drive to hold my library and all audio files so I can listen to whatever I want any time. The last week or so, on my work PC only (the other two do not do this), when I click the iTunes icon on my Start menu, it freezes the menu in place on my screen for about a minute. Eventually the menu disappears and iTunes starts.
I don't know what this is about or why it just started. When I check task manager my CPU usage is fairly high (50% or more) but not enough that I'd expect problems. And also, nothing is frozen except the Start menu and my taskbar - I can switch to other applications easily, which you would not expect if it was a CPU or memory problem. However, even when I switch the Start menu appears in front of them, which is very annoying.
For what it's worth, I am on iTunes 7.7.1.11. I have kept this version on all three machines because I got tired of upgrading them all every time a minor update came out. I've had no issues with this version on the whole until now, and I continue not having issues on my laptop or home PC.

Did your work's IT dept change something on your PC?
A lot of places map the user document folders out to network drives, and that could certainly slow things down for iTunes while it makes the connections.

Flash player not showing up in start menue?

installed version 11 7 700 202 on new computer running windows 7 and internet explorer. Installations said complete, but the program does not show up in the start menue and does not activate when trying to view videos, sometimes getting the message that I do not have flashplayer plugin downloaded? On the adobe help site the find version help tool displays that "flash player is running on your system" by showing the movie of that text and a red ball. So what the heck is going on. I have restarted the computer a couple time too?

Flash Player is only a browser add-on, not an executable program, so it won't appear in the Start menu.
Regarding Internet Explorer, a couple of possibilities

RDS 2012 App-V 5 SP2, Applications are not pinned in the Metro Start Menu

Hey All,
I've been building a new App-V 5 Environment using server 2012 R2 for the App-V management\Publishing\Reporting servers.
I've installed app-v 5 SP2 on the RDS 2012 R2 servers and installed the App-V 5.1 SP1 Hotfix (KB2897087) for the 2012 R2 support.
I have run into the following issue; When triggering a app-v publishing sync the applications are only added in the classic start menu. The applications aren't pinned in the Metro Start menu like our App-V sp1 RDS 2012 clients.
I have checked the App-V client eventlogs (including the debug logs) and I haven't been able to find any errors that point out the cause of my issue.
Has anyone experienced the same issue or has anyone got any tips to get the app-v 5 sp2 client on RDS 2012 R2 to pin the sequences to the Metro Start Menu?
Thanks.

This is the default behaviour of Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 - there are no programmatic ways to pin shortcuts to the Start screen.
Here's a way to customise the Start screen layout: http://stealthpuppy.com/customizing-the-windows-8-1-start-screen-dont-follow-microsofts-guidance/
Here's how to go it with Group Policy: http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2013/06/customising-windows-8-1-start-screen-layout-with-group-policy/
Note that neither approach will help you pin shortcuts to the Start screen for users that have already logged on, without overwriting their existing preferences.

Start menu not working

Probably you need to install updates, particularly KB3036140.
Since you cannot use Start menu to go to Windows Update, follow this method given by Insider Hub.......
Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes.
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart.

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.
Best regards,
