QuickTime appends itself to start menu and shows recent files

Everytime I play a movie Quicktime adds itself to my start menu, and shows recent movies when the mouse is dragged over the icon (despite that I have chosen not to save recent movies in my preferences).  Any suggestions to stop this?  Thank you.

Hi John,
This issue is related to the programs package we installed.
• An installation package contains all of the information that the Windows Installer requires to install or uninstall an application or product and to run the setup user interface.
• The developer can specify installation context, and based on these properties, Windows Installer automatically redirects the values of folder properties and registrations to locations.
• The shortcut is added to the profile by these context
We could right click these file and could find out they are the shortcut mentioned above.
For more information about Windows Installer, please refer to the following article.

  • How Do I Change the Language of Start Menu and Modern Apps After I Installed Windows? Applying Language Pack only Localizes Traditional Applications?

    Howdy,
    I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview with original language settings for the US region.
    No that I need my Windows localized to Espanol - Spanish.
    I type "language' in Cortana, select Add language to this device and click Add a language on the Region & language.
    Then I select added language and click Set as primary.
    After the restart I see that while Windows Explorer is displayed in Spanish, Start menu is displayed in English (including app sections such as Explore Windows), as well as Modern apps that have retained their English names (such as Mail).
    I even set the location to Spain in regional settings (although I didn't like the idea, as I want to browse the US market). To no avail.
    How do I change the language of the Start menu and modern apps?
    Thank you.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Okay, I ran the in-place upgrade and it worked!
    What I did:
    1. Downloaded and attached Espanol edition of Windows Setup ISO.
    2. Started setup.exe from that ISO.
    TIP: If need be, you can downgrade your installation of Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview by changing two registry values, EditionID and ProductName. You may use the following registry file on Windows 10 Enterprise
    Technical Preview:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
    "EditionID"="Professional"
    "ProductName"="Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview"
    Import these settings into registry and start setup wizard from the Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview setup CD. Voila! Windows will offer upgrade of your current setup of Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview with
    saving all your settings and applications!
    The only thing that wasn't localized are the new app sections. I still see Explore Windows and Everyday apps. Probably, these UI strings haven't yet been translated.

    I understand that Firefox is no longer working on your Windows Tablet. The development of Metro did stop and has been discontinued. However what version were you on before this started to happen?

    apple tv 2 starts up and shows apple logo then resets over and over

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • How do I select "Start" menu and choose "Control Panel"?

    I am working a a problem with the software on a Canon digital camera. My instructions from Canon Support are to:
    1.Select my START menu and choose CONTROL Panel.
    How do I do that? I have Mountain Lion OS.
    Thanks for any help.

    Those are instructions for Windows.  The equivalent action is to go to the Apple menu (left end of Menu Bar at the top of the screen) and select System Preferences.
    However, that may not help with your problem, because the steps after "1" will be different on a Mac (for whatever it's telling you do to for Windows).  It may help if you explained the actual problem "with the software on Canon digital camera."

  • How to add shortcuts to user Start Menu and Taskbar using Microsoft Office 2013 OCT?

    Hello, I am kindly seeking your help.  How do I add the shortcuts for Word 2013, Excel 2013, and PowerPoint 2013 to the users Start Menu and taskbar when installing MS Office 2013 from a network installation point? I am using Office2013
    OCT to customize setup and deploying MS Office to Windows 7 x64bit clients. I tried [StartMenuFolder] and [AppData], but they did not work.

    Hi
    There is a known issue about
    changing the shortcut location for an Office 2013 application:
    When you try to change the shortcut locations for Office 2013 applications in the Office Customization Tool (OCT), you receive the following error message:
    Invalid start in folder. Please try again.
    Then, you add the Start in location for Office 2013 and run a customized installation. When you double-click the shortcuts that are displayed on the desktop, Configure shortcuts does
    not work and you receive the following error message: 
    Sorry, we couldn’t find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?
    To work around this issue, type a single open bracket ([) in the Start in
    field.  
    In addition, refer to the link below on "Configure shortcuts" in OCT:

  • Outlook 2013 are not opening and showing pst files are not closed properly

    Hi
    Outlook 2007 has stopped working and showing close the program. Again,we re-started then outlook 2007 and it has opened and taken the backup of pst files in a separate hard drive.
    The pst file was repaired in scanpst.exe and again i have tried to put the pst file back in outlook 2007.It was hanging and suddenly i have uninstalled 2007 and started installing outlook 2013.
    2013 applications like word,excel,power point are opening and outlook 2013 are not able to open and showing pst files were not closed properly.
    Again i have un-installed and re-installed the outlook 2013.still we are not able to open the outlook.
    Need your support at the earliest to fix the issue.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    What's the .pst file used for? Archive? Or you set up a POP3 account and want to import the emails from the .pst file?
    Another question, you mentioned you installed Outlook 2013 and it didn't open either. Was this from the beginning right after you installed Outlook 2013, or after you did something such as create a new Profile, set up a new account and tried to import the
    .pst file?
    Kindly answer my questions so I can understand the situation better.
    I've seen some of this issue caused by the anti-malware software, check your anti-malware software to see if it's trying to interfere with Outlook - things like real time email checking can sometimes cause these kinds of problems. To troubleshoot, we can
    simply disable the anti-malware software temporarily to see the result.

    This is sometimes caused by Bad Blocks on the Hard Drive.
    If 10.7, hold down Command-R at startup, and choose Disk Utility.
    If 10.6 or earlier, boot to the Installer/Utilities DVD, answer only the "what language" question and wait for the MenuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu.
    Select your Hard drive by Make & Model and check the SMART Status (lower right of the right window). Choose "Repair Disk" . This ONLY examines and repairs the Directory area of the drive, but may improve things a bit. If errors cannot be repaired, you may need a stronger tool, or a new drive.

  • I have Firefox 4.0 Beta 6 on my system and Beta 9 was installed, now both are oon desktop neither show on Start menu and Add/Remove list only shows Beta 6 but will not remove it.

    Had a problem yesterday and Google chrome replaced Firefox as my default browser without my knowledge. I removed Chrome from my system and can use Firefox. I have two icons for Firefox on my quick launch toolbar one says Beta6 the other Beta9 but both launch Beta 9 but my Add/Remove programs shows only Beta6 and will not remove it. It seems Beta9 is the only version on my system but was not updated in my Start menu.

    If you updated from the beta 6 version to the beta 9 version then the beta 9 version has replaced the previous beta version. It can happen that the uninstall registry key of older versions isn't updated or removed and that seems to have happened in your case. So you have only the beta 9 version installed and an orphaned entry to uninstall the beta 6 version.
    If you are comfortable in editing the registry then you can remove that entry.Otherwise it is better to leave it.<br />

  • Start Menu not showing up after 8.1 Update

    I am a MSDN subscriber and after applying the Windows 8.1 Update (release April 2nd to MSDN) the Start Menu is not showing up as described in the Key Note.
    Is anyone else having this issue?  Its as if the updates were never applied.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Would you please help to provide more detailed description of your concern?
    I suppose that once the computer restart, the desktop show up instead of Start screen by default.
    One settings can change this behavior which is newly added in Windows 8.1 update 1: Show store app in taskbar

  • [SOLVED] Spacing between start menu and tray icons lost

    Hi,
    I am using KDEmod + Arch
    After todays upgrade, spacing between start menu at the left and tray icons at the right lost making the tray icons align to the left side of the tray. An X mark in a red box appeared in between on mouse hover, shows the message that : Unable to load the widget, could not find the requested component: stasks.
    A screen shot is here:
    http://twitpic.com/od3jh
    What is to be done to rectify it?
    Last edited by absolutevoid (2009-11-05 18:31:36)

    Long:
    You're using the stasks plasma widget, which likely just needs to be recompiled for kde 4.3.3, as it was just upgraded from 4.3.2 in Arch's Extra repository and I imagine the same applies to KDEMod.
    pacman -Q | grep stask    will likely show you what the stasks plasma widget is called.
    If it's a kdemod package or returns nothing (meaning stasks is in some other plasma applet package, perhaps kdemod-plasma-applets or something.. pacman -Q | grep plasm would show all such packages with 'plasma' in the name), you'll need to recompile it with ABS or just post on the KDEMod forum and wait for them to update it. If you haven't rebooted since upgrading, there's sometimes something out of my ability to explain which causes KDE stuff not to show up / work properly even after running 'kbuildsycoca4' or 'kbuildsycoca' or killing and restarting kdm until said reboot.
    The two stasks plasmoids I see in the arch user repository are "stasks-manager-plasmoid" (which you're likely using) and "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg". If pacman -Q | grep stask shows one of those, simply recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_widget, and you should be good to go on logout/in or reboot or what have you.
    Short:
    Run in konsole: pacman -Q | grep stask
    If it shows something with "kdemod" in the name or returns nothing, you should probably post a bug report with the KDEMod/Chakra guys at chakra-project.org (bug tracker is currently down, use the forums). If it shows "stasks-manager-plasmoid" or "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg", recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_package and log out/in (or reboot if necessary.. it shouldn't be though).

  • I can't use the search function in both the Start Menu and Windows Explorer.

    This problem occurred yesterday when I uninstalled a program on my computer. Once the program was uninstalled, everything was fine until I tried to search for a file in my start menu search bar. When I attempt to search for something, nothing comes up. Not
    even a single document or piece of text. Nothing. 
    In other posts I've seen addressing the same issue that I'm having, people try to search something and a selection of files come up, like "Programs", "Documents", etc., except for me, it's all blank.
    In other threads people have suggested to delete certain subdirectories in regedit, but when I go into regedit, and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
    folder, there is no FolderTypes folder for me to delete. It's simply not there.
    I've pretty much tried every possible resolution under the sun, apart from completely re-installing Windows 7. Please help me fix this issue, because at this point I'm
    lost.

    Yes, sometimes, we can solve this issue by editing the registry entry you mentioned above, I have a suggestion, do you have a similar system or PC which is working fine? You can export this registry entry from that PC (which i sworking fine), then
    import it to your problematic PC, please remember that incorrect change in registry will cause serious damage, so backup the registry first before editing.
    After finishing editing the registry, restart PC. If doesn't work, open control panel\Indexing Options\Advanced, rebuild the index.
