Ilike to start my programs by hitting the Windows Start key and just typing in the first couple letters of the program and then hitting enter. However, when I type in the letters for putty.exe it doesn't show up. puttygen.exe does show up in the list but putty.exe never shows.

I copied over shortcuts to both putty.exe and puttygen.exe to the "Start Menu" folder but only puttygen showed up in the menu. So I duplicated the puttygen shortcut, re-targeted the duplicate shortcut from puttygen.exe to putty.exe, and then it finally showed up in the Start Menu as well as when I typed "putty" in the search.


I did a lot of testing and it seems like there is a database for the start menu entries that is not kept in sync with the links that are kept underC:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu.


The easiest way here is to just move a exe file or create a shortcut to it in Downloads folder. You do not need to configure anything more.TIP: You can even rename a shortcut and thanks to that be able to find it under the other name in Windows search.


More advanced is to just add to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu Places a shortcut to folder where exe file is placed. But I guess it's better to point a folder where you put your shortcuts to exe files.


Afer upgrading to Win 10, I was trying to add shortcuts of my programs to the "all apps" start menu section through copying the program shortcuts to %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. This worked with most of the apps but it seems that windows refused to make this work for some ones, mainly portable ones, instead of being added to the "all apps" section some of the apps just get pinned to the start menu.


I really checked tons of webpages trying to found a solution to this and just can't found anything to solve this bug (they just answered how to add a shortcut in the most common case but doesn't tell what to do when that method fails). It was just by accident that I could find a solution, That's why I added this question to the site which I'm going to answer myself just to share this little trick.


Move that shortcut to C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. At this point most apps should appear on "all apps" start menu section, but if the apps just get pinned to the start menu, continue with the next steps.


Create a shortcut to the new created exe copy using right click over this file and selecting send to/desktop(create shortcut) and here is the trick, once the shortcut is created, rename it so it has the same name that the real shortcut to the program has, once renamed move this shortcut to C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs overwriting the real shortcut that is in there.


Once again create a shortcut of the real program exe file with send to/desktop(create shortcut) and rename it so it has the same name than it had before, once this is done move the shortcut to C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs


If, of course, you're in the unfortunate position of not having that log entry, your best bet is to go through and see if you can determine when, precisely, it was installed, and correlate that with the Security Event Logs to determine with had an interactive logon session at that time.


The Adobe installer logs might be more helpful in narrowing down the precise time of install too, as it's possible your logging level didn't even log a non-MS application installation in the Event Logs. Either way, it's probably a matter of finding the precise time, and going through the Security logs to determine who had an open type 2 or type 10 logon during that time.


It's really kind of a pain, and if you're the one who's going to be relegated to log diving, it might not be a horrible idea to do a quick cost/benefit breakdown of how much it's going to cost to ferret out this [not-entirely-conclusive] information, because it's not exactly a smoking gun. It'll give you a pretty strong case as to who did it, but unless you have a high enough logging level to see which user called the installer, it's not going to be considered definitive proof. (Or at least I've never seen it taken that way.)


Using Event Viewer, you can filter the Application log for Event ID 11707. Search by the particular date/time you think the program was installed and it will also list a user name. Very useful if you need to track who is installing what, when.


I want a way that nobody else, except me, can go there and close this program. A way that only authorized people (me or any other authorized by me) would be able to interact with the computer and/or this opened program preventing it from being closed from anyone else.

You can do this with Windows Kiosk Software Download kiosk software KioWare for Windows . If the program is an exe, the security measures are slightly different, and how secure the app is from users being able to access the OS depends on the app itself.


Here is an example that runs notepad, keeps it on top of KioWare by making KioWare its owner window, and closes it at session end. To use it, replace the entire contents of CustomToolbarCode.js with the code below:


CSD works with local energy services providers throughout the state installing weatherization and energy efficiency measures for low-income homeowners and renters that qualify under the Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). Energy efficiency means using less energy which in turn can reduce utility costs. Some of the benefits of energy efficiency and weatherization include:


Having a high energy bill is not the only indicator that you may benefit from energy efficient weatherization measures. If you notice cold drafts in your home from windows or doors, run the heater throughout the entire day in the winter, or run your air conditioner throughout the entire day in the summer, then you may benefit from having an assessment done on your home. An assessment, or energy audit, is performed by community partners in low-income households to find ways to make your home more energy efficient. Some of the energy efficiency improvements include:


The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) helps reduce energy usage and costs by providing services intended to improve energy efficiency in the homes of eligible low-income households.


In order to receive energy efficiency or weatherization services from a local provider, your household must meet certain eligibility requirements which include income, household size, energy use, and other factors. Income sources and other factors may affect eligibility for services. Please note that our energy efficiency and weatherization programs may potentially prioritize applicants based on the greatest need, income, and households with vulnerable populations. Vulnerable populations may include the elderly, disabled, and households with young children.


I have a batch script that I use to launch a program, such as notepad.exe. When I double click on this batch file, notepad starts normally, but the black window of the cmd who launched notepad.exe remains in the background. What do I have to do in order to launch notepad.exe and make the cmd window disappear?


This was cause by Notepad running in same command prompt (process). The command prompt will close AFTER notepad is closed. To avoid that, we can use the start command to start a separate process like this.


However running this command would just start another blank command prompt. Why? If you lookup to the start /?, the start command will recognize the argument between the " as the title of the new command prompt it is going to launch. So, to solve that, we have the command like this:


Another example we were able to integrate web into the PowerBuilder program. A fault is that the web cache gets filled up and it does not want to paint the page. So we have do an temp internet files to resolve.

The Soundcore App, primarily designed for mobile users, poses a challenge for Windows users seeking to enhance their audio experience. However, the solution lies in using emulators like BlueStacks or MEmu Play, enabling the use of the Soundcore App on PCs.


If the program has neither its own uninstall program, nor a listing in the Add/RemovePrograms control panel, you mighttry installing it again, and then trying to uninstall it viathe Add/Remove Programs control panel.


Blocking a program in a firewall is a security measure that protects systems from unwanted access. This process monitors resource consumption, limits internet access, blocks inbound access from malicious sources, and prevents outbound access from installed apps. Learn how to block a program in a firewall by exploring when to allow or block programs, methods to permanently or temporarily block in Windows or MacOS, and the common troubleshooting tips.


When deciding whether to allow or block a program in a firewall, assess its legitimacy and potential risks of controlled system access. Your network firewall automatically prevents unauthorized access, but new apps may require manual or prompted exception additions to manage communication and handle blocking issues.


This method for blocking a program in the firewall works for Windows 11, but the process is similar for Windows 10 and previous versions. You can successfully restrict a specific software from accessing the internet by navigating to the advanced settings of Windows Defender Firewall. Follow the steps below.
