Windows 10: "How do you want to open this file" menu includes a program that doesn't exist

Hello,


I used to have Microsoft VS Code installed in a certain directory but I recently uninstalled and reinstalled it to a new directory. The problem is that when I right click a file in Windows Explorer and select the "Open with..." option, one of the items in the menu is the old installation I have uninstalled (D:\Programs...):




Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Files missing from "Start Menu" "All Programs"

RE: WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 32bit, Files missing from "Start Menu" "All Programs" list.

I have several "start menu" programs missing in my "all programs" list. One of the missing entries is the "accessories" folder and all related files.

As far as I can tell all of the missing files are on the system and they can be found by using the "start menu search" facility. This problem is occurring with other users but I can not find a solution which works to get things back the way they were after installing the OS.

I am seeing the missing apps and other items at this location in iexplore.exe %allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs .

Everything I have tried to get these items back into my "start menu" "all programs" list has been met with failure except creating a shortcut. A shortcut is not the real fix as it leaves two entries in the folder.

When I right click on the highlighted "all Programs" box, in the start menu, a small options list pops up, if "open all users" is selected a new window pops up. Inside that window I can click on the programs folder where I can see the missing entries that should appear on my "all programs" list plus those which I presently see on my "all programs" list together in a single directory listing.

How can I get the above directory list of programs back into the "start menu" "all programs" area so I do not have to go through this extra window and select the programs folder to locate what I wish to run?

I also noticed my accessories folder has a lock on it while I am in the primary user administrator account. If you know how to get rid of the lock it would be helpful however I can find that information when I get a chance to look up the answer?

I noticed some hidden (first tier) folders on the C: drive which I made visible while leaving protection on the OS folders. I can now see these folders in an iexplore.exe directory listing. This did not fix the problem in the "all programs" file selection list and I do not remember if this folder was hidden when the OS was installed.

When I opened up the system to allow a login directly into the Administrator account everything shows up the same as it did when the OS installed along with all other programs installed afterward.

After some progress I am still here *Bang Head :banghead: and slowly getting closer to an answer. Can anyone help me get there a little faster?

Uncontrollable opening of File/Edit/View/Tools/___ menu...

I've been having this problem for at least a month now, and it's getting really annoying. Basically, while I'm using a program, the File/Edit/View/Tools/etc. menu will randomly open. I'm not accidentally pressing any buttons or anything, it just happens. While I'm typing on here (Firefox), before I know it I'll be pressing enter on one of those menus and crazy stuff will be happening. While I'm in Paint or CS3 using a toolbrush or something, it will cut off my paint supply and up top a menu will be open. It even happens in iTunes, WMP, OpenOffice, and Vuze (maybe more, but I can remember instances with those programs). Also, sometimes while I'm typing it will give me a ding and cut off my ability to type until I click the field. This whole thing seems to come and go. For example, right now one of those things I told about are happening at least once every 30 sec. But other times, it seems I can go a day with no problems. I've scanned with MSE and MWB but neither find anything bad. So, I'm up to any suggestions and hopefully you guys can help me out. *Oh Well hwell:
