New applications installed not highlighted in start menu
Hi everybody i installed a few new applications. After installation i don t see them in my startup menu, not like in xp were new applications were marked via new programs installed - I already tapped the options show newly installed programs but still they arent show up
Anybody any suggestions?
Thank you very much
Hi broeckie27,
It may well be that the applications you installed didn't create Start Menu Items (alot don't nowadays from what I've seen)
Could you be a bit more specific about which apps they are? chances are someone uses them and can tell you whether they have Start Menu entries.
Also: You can add them yourself, by going to C:\Users\<Your Username>\Start Menu\Programs and putting shortcuts in there :)
Hope it helps,
Martin
I have the same problem... when installing a program it will create an icon on the desktop. in the All Programs menu it creates a "folder?" and when I choose this it displays (empty)
This happens on both of my Win 7 machines - 1 is Win 7 x32 and the other is a Win 7 x64...
the concern is many programs normally install more than the run shortcut for the program - there may be an un-install or maintenance option missing...
Hey everyone thanks again for your advice these tips were very helpfull
problem resolved now
thank you
