Hi,

Got a strange problem with my start menu with Vista. The start menu icons changed all of a sudden to the "F" logos you can see in the pic - the "F" is the logo for my F-secure internet security program. Can't seem to change it back to the windows default icons now:



Anyone know how to fix this?

Cheers

 

Have you tried putting it back to win vista start bar? because you have it set as classic at the moment, it might just change the icons back?

 

Either that or use system restore to the day before it changed Works for me

 

Plus why would you have Vista only to use classic menu's?

 

Anyone ever had that start menu just pop up at random??

 

could be a number of reasons

 

when i was on vista, no, havent had it happen on xp pro either

 

Last resort though for me, theres one or two things he could try which wont take a second, if that dont work then good ole system restore to the resue thats if hes hasnt turned it off like a mate of mine

 

Must just be me then

 

First thing I did on my new laptop was to turn off the Vista features, its almost twice as fast now

 

Precisely - i hate the "user friendlyness" look of all the default Vista toolbars - especailly the pointless sidebar. Minilism is the way forward

Ive tried changing it to Vista's default menu system but when i changed it back to classic it was the same problem. Im starting to think it might have been an internet security update that has mucked thins up.

Cheers

 

All sorted now - thanks for the replies.

 

Anyone know why i have no desktop icons on my vista even though there are icons in the desktop folder through explorer?

 

Have you setup dual screen desktops? You could be outputting only one layer of the screen. This is the system people use when using a dual monitor setup.

 

So your saying there was desktop icons but they have now gone? or they were never there to start with?

And were talking my computer, my documents etc folders?
