An empty All Programs Folders in Windows 7 and how to fixed it!


If you have experienced this:


All the programs, shortcuts & folders in the All Users and current user Start Menu/Programs folders were there
The Shell Folders and User Shell Folders in the registry (both current user and local machine) were pointing to the right folders
Permissions on said folders were all set as expected
Able to reproduce on BOTH a Clean Windows 7 RC install and upgrade (but it’s much more likely to been seen in a upgrade).
To reproduce on a clean install, open either All Users or current user’s Start Menu and create a ton of shortcuts. I took the IE shortcut, copied and pasted it until I had 80+ copies. At that point, even the lean install’s All Programs broke. After deleting those copies (and end-tasking and running Explorer) the Clean’s All Programs came back. 


Possible solution




1. Click on the Start Menu.
2. Right Click on “All Programs”.
3. Select “Open All users”
4. Open the Programs Folder.
5. Create a new folder named “A”.
6. Drag all the other folders into the A folder.
7. Close Windows Explorer.


You’re done. When you click on “All Programs” you’ll see a limited number of Program Items. If you click on the A folder, you see all of your Programs. NOTE: In this folder the folders follow single shortcut items.

Random black screen while playing games



Well, Black Screen Restart/Crash When Playing Games what could be the problem?
I always recommends to kip your OS, GPU, Motherboard drivers up to date.
 Check with hardwire manufacture, what is the last version of your driver......
If all is fine move to the next step.
It could be GPU issues, you can download OpenhardwareMonitor.
You can run a plot on GPU temperature (select GPU temp) then view as a plot, and set time window to 10 or 20 minutes.
Then play your game, and once in a while pause to check your temperature. You should be able to see the temperature behavior of the GPU as you are playing. and pausing.


 Next step if that not helps, try to swap out parts one at a time.
This way you can locate the culprit, and not replace something that`s not broken.
So you can replace the PSU, then do some gaming, and check if it crashes. The same with all the other parts. Just remember to only have 1 part changed at a time in your system. If you will replace them all at once and you get no crash, you will still not know which one is to blame.

Hope  that it`s either the PSU or the GPU that are to blame here.
The best way to you I think would be if the RAM is effective.

Also, until you manage to get the other PC for swapping parts, try to clean you PC, and get all the dust out of there. Maybe this is just due to the dust in the GPU cooler or PSU, and it`s over-heating.
If any one has IDEA please post.
