    I don't have access to the start menu or desktop


    I no longer have access to the start menu and the desktop, I see a view of tasks that I don't want.

    when I try to go to the start menu or the desktop, it just appears this to me:

  2. Does anyone know how to put recent files folder on the start menu list?

    Start menu LIST, you note! Not the tile on the start page (or whatever is the name of that place holder) or a link in ALL APPS!

    This used to be a relatively simple line in start menu lists of all (as far as I can remember) previous Windows systems. Why Microsoft has decided to MOVE it to the quick access pane is beyond me.

    First off, it involves an extra step of opening up the Explorer. Second, the list of things the user can put on the start menu list using
    Settings - Personalization - Start sequence, is limited by the contents of

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu Places

    which is VERY UNFLEXIBLE, to say the list!

    Third, in quick access pane I don' t seem to be able to revert back to the initial groupings of recent files and frequent folders (these are gone and now shown as a list altogether)

    Accessing the START Icon at the Bottom Left of my Desktop Computer

    I'd sent a post half-an-hour and I meant to say I can't access the START menu at the bottom left of my desktop computer by left clicking it like I always do to get the listings of all the functions. What I have to do now is RIGHT click the START menu.
    Any suggestions?
