This might help:

Does MSE have the ability to scan from the command prompt - Microsoft Answers

To open the MSE window try this Command

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\msseces.exe"

This file location is for Win 7 x64 / MSE ver 4

I don't have Starter, but you can search for msseces.exe to find the file location on your system.
You do need to wrap the command in the double quotes (as shown).

What version of MSE do you have? (Version 4 is the latest version.)

Do you have Real Time protection enabled? (MSE starts when Windows starts)

Please clarify what "That did not work" means.
What happens, what error message(s) do you get, can you post screen prints of the error(s) ... ?

thank u,
worked!

Hello fluidmotion,


You might see if the paths used in the shortcuts in the tutorials below will work for you as well. :)

(For just MSE itself)
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Security Client\msseces.exe

• Microsoft Security Essentials - Cascading Desktop Context Menu
• Microsoft Security Essentials - Full Scan - Create Shortcut
• Microsoft Security Essentials - Settings - Create Shortcut
• Microsoft Security Essentials - Update - Create Shortcut
• Microsoft Security Essentials - Update & Quick Scan - Create Shortcut
• Microsoft Security Essentials - Quick Scan - Create Shortcut

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Open MSE. Click on small down arrow next to Help > click on About Security Essentials. Another dialog box will open with current MSE info.
