Question

Getting Started arrow missing

by Dec 25, 2012 12:04AM PST

I am running windows 7 home premium and the getting started shortcut pinned to start menu by default has an arrow for sub menu of programs and now my arrow is missing. I run ccleaner but may have removed the arrow. How do I get the arrow back?

Try System Restore & avoid registry cleaners
by Dec 25, 2012 12:13AM PST

First of all registry cleaners are snake oil so avoid them. They do no significant good and can cause problems,

Try System Restore to go back to a date prior to the beginning of the problem. To run System Restore, click Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore. Click the box that says Show more restore points.

You can check for corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above doesn't help. Click START, then type CMD in the search box, right-click CMD.EXE and click Run as administrator. Then from the command prompt type sfc /scannow.

Good luck.
