Start Menu Items

Facing problem -> the Media parent "search and new" are not shown in start menu even if we enable it.

In Sites 11.1.1.6.0 and later, the Admin UI intentionally no longer lets you find or create content assets. This is because the preferred UI for working with content assets is the Contributor UI. However, you can enable find/create of content assets in the Admin UI by setting
advancedUI.enableAssetForms=true
in futuretense_xcel.ini. See the Property Files Reference Guide for a description of this property.

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.

WCS11G - Start Menu Items for Admin interface?

I'm looking into WCS 11G since I need to migrate a 7.5.5 site.
As it looks now, code or structure won't be modified to better support features such as supporting the contributor interface better so a lot of our users will expect to use the admin interface.
I am however having an issue enabling simple start menu items for content. I.e. a simple Start Menu Item for a Page, simply will not show up. It shows up just fine in the contributor interface however.
I've been going through all the documentation, but I cannot see any references to there being any limits on what kind of assets can be presented in the admin interface.
Is this a bug I'm experiencing? Or simply an approach taken to force users over to the contributor interface?
Thanks
/Lars

By default the Admin UI will not show certain asset types, this is intentional and controlled by the property advancedUI.enableAssetForms in futuretense_xcel.ini. If you set this to true and restart then the Page assets and others will show up. Here's an extract from the Property Files Reference Guide:
advancedUI.enableAssetForms
Used to enable and disable the WebCenter Sites
Admin interface for content contributors. Access
to the following assets is affected:
• All flex assets and their parent assets
• All basic assets
• Engage assets, such as recommendations,
segments and promotions
• Query, Collection, and Page assets
By default, this property is set to false, which
disables the WebCenter Sites Admin interface for
content contributors. The assets listed above
cannot be created, edited, searched for, or deleted,
except from the WebCenter Sites Contributor
interface, where they are supported by default.
Note: In the Contributor interface, asset types and
assets intended for developers are either available
only for inspection or they are inaccessible. They
must be accessed from the WebCenter Sites
Admin interface. For a comparison of features in
the Contributor and Admin interfaces, see the
WebCenter Sites User’s Guide.
Default value: false

Unable to click any of the start menu items ?

Brand new toshiba p55w laptop (win 8.1 fully patched, 8GB, etc.
Start menu is accessible but all options selected result in a "blue /blank desktop" screen and explorer.exe crashes and takes you back to the original desktop. I can work around file explorer not being readily available but having to search
for all the start menu items is just a pain.
I have read numerous references to autodesk causing this.. it is not installed on this system.
I'll gather logs from whatever is needed to diagnose

Hi,
Could you please explain a bit for all the option here? Are you saying the Start menu APPs?
When start the APP, where would you be back on ? Desktop or the start menu?
If you mean the start menu APPs, we may go through C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and try to run the APPs from there to check if the same issue occurs.
Besides, please refer to the following KB about your issue.

Error publishing Start Menu items -12044

Hi,
I am working with WebCenter Sites Jumpstart kit and i am facing error in Mirror site configuration for avisports_store Publish Destinations. The Error is given below. Any Idea how to resolve this problem
Error publishing Start Menu items, -12044, [pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/Admin/MirrorSitePost] Error: com.openmarket.xcelerate.commands.StartMenuDispatcher: Publish: com.openmarket.basic.interfaces.AssetException: Remote object save didn't fire [error was -611]

The said issue is resolved by using another physical machine for publishing Start Menu items. The Other physical machine is the same replica of actual development machine and this machine is used for mirroring and publishing. Note the Other machine must be up and ping properly.

CS4 Design standard Silent Install: Start Menu Items

Greetings!
I've got everything working for a silent install of CS4 (Design Standard). However, there seems to be an issue with creating the Start Menu Folders.
My first try, I asked for all the shortcuts to be placed in a folder called "AdobeCS4." Short and sweet. After running the install, it created THREE folders. The first, just called "Adobe" had the Media Player shortcut in it. The second was the one that I'd asked for, AdobeCS4, and had the rest of the items in it, except for three. The Third folder was named "Adobe Design Standard CS4", and had "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro", Acrobat Distiller 9, and Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2" in it.
So, I re-set the install.xml file to NOT make my custom folder name, but just use the one called 'Adobe'.
However, the acrobat side of things still won't play nice. It looks like in the "suite.mst" in the Acrobat Payload folder specifically calls for the cumbersome "Adobe Design Standard CS4" folder. I tried editing that file, and the install of Acrobat failed, so I assume that the files are checked before install to make sure they're not corrupted or something.
Has anyone been able to make this (Acrobat Install) work properly, and have an install NOT bloat the start menu like crazy? How about the Adobe Media Player install?
I've currently got the install working cleanly using a batch file to change some registry values (disable eula, adobe.com, etc), move the shortcuts, and delete the old folder, which works, but is really not how "software of this caliber" should work.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and hopefully answer!

IWeb will not start, menu items dim, cannot open files

I designed a website using iWeb and need to make modifications to it. However, after I tried to open an html file with iWeb and get this message:
"Can’t open file “~/Sites/qhuyn002/Howto.html”
...iWeb closes on me. While this message is up and before I click OK to make it go away, the menu items are dim, and I cannot access any websites I've designed and saved in my "SITES" folder on this Macbook.
I've re-started the computer many times. Same issue keeps coming up. iWeb seems to think that every time I open it, I am trying to open this html file. I just need it to start as normal so that I can use it!
HELP!

Up until V 2.0.3, iWeb stored the domain file for the last site that was opened in iWeb in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
After I updated to V 2.0.4, I discovered that there was no domain file there. I keep all my domain files in separate folders in an "iWeb" folder kept in a second dock using Dock-It so that I can launch any site with two mouse clicks.
Just for fun, I launched iWeb from the application and a site that I had "lost" during the upgrade appeared. It is still there and doesn't change no matter what site I launch in iWeb!
Some people "lost" their domain file after the upgrade and couldn't find it on their hard drive although it would still launch in iWeb. It wasn't in the default location.
I didn't report this to the iWeb development team as it didn't cause me any problems. Has anybody done this?
Most problems with upgrades to iLife and iWork applications occur because, if they are not instructed to do so, some people don't bother to do a restart after installing them.

Group Policy question about setting Start menu items using devices and not users

I am using Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 R2 servers set up for use as Active Directory Servers.
What I am trying to do is lock down thin clients start menu options and I have been able to get this to work down to the user level. However, what I want to do is have it locked down on the machine level.
We have multiple users that use both "Thin Clients" with Windows 7 Embedded and we also have them using other PC's with using the same log in.
So, for example when you create an OU for "Thin Clients", I want thin client devices in there and when people log in to these thin clients then the start menu will be locked down. I want this to be user independent and thus I don't want Users
in the OU, but I want to lock down the start menu.
How can I do this with Group Policy Objects on a domain level?

Hi,
you could achieve this using GPO loopback processing. It was designed for the purpose of applying settings from user GPO to a certain group of computers.

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

Windows 10 Start Menu not updating with the newly installed apps or programs

I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise Preview inside a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V instance. I've been installing a lot of different applications for testing & I've come across a strange problem. When I install a new application, it doesn't show up
in the start menu. If I search for the app, it comes up & I can launch it, pin it etc. Next time I log out & log back in the application is there. I first noticed this when I used Programs & Features to add OneNote into Office
2013.

Aha, that may well be what I experienced too. The first thing I
installed on Win10 was one of my own products, and while it installed
and worked fine, and the start menu items could be found by searching,
my product directory was not showing up under All Apps.
A day later I installed another product, and after that I noticed that
I could see both this new program's directory and my own. A subsequent
product installation also showed its program directory straight away.

How to remove Toshiba Assist from start menu?

http://www.imagemule.com/uploads/untitledaigw.png
anyone?
How can I remove the icon?

Hi
I have checked the screen shot and it seems that you use the Windows XP Start menu and not the Classic Start menu.
Please click right on the green Start button and select Properties.
Then the window Taskbar and Start Menu Properties should appear.
Then switch to the tab Start menu and press the Customize button.
There you could try to clean the list of the programs
Please also check the Advanced tab and the Start menu items list.

New menu items in the Admin and Contributer interfaces

Hello,
While creating some tree tabs or start menu items I noticed, that some of them appear in the Admin interface, others in the Contributors. So, the question is: is it a feature of web center sites or what, because in the fatwire all newly created items could have been found in the admin interface.
PS using JSK 11.1.1.6.0
BR Denis

Out of the box we placed all content contribution functions in the contributor UI. We want users to use the new UI. Hence the removal from the Admin (formerly Advanced UI) UI. So the Admin UI is not more oriented to Admin/Dev tasks and does not show content assets.

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.

Adobe Items on Start Menu

I just installed Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0. It put 2 items on the start menu. It didn't create a folder on the start menu named "Adobe" and then put the
m in that folder. It just litters the start menu with them. Who does Adobe think they are? When are they going to grow up and follow industry standards that have been around for years and put their stuff in a folder like it belongs? I had to manually create a folder, and move the 2 items into the folder. Then Adobe Updater ran, and duplicated the shortcuts back to the start menu. Agh!!!
Adobe Acrobot is like 30+ megs and does nothing but display PDF's. Firefox is like 6 megs and can display the entire internet. Why is it so bloated?

If you downloaded Reader alone (and not Air...etc), it would have added one item like anything else.
