[QUOTE="Raikou, post: 291791, member: 30056"] Yes, it's a bit hard to explain. So a while back I had a Google redirect problem that I tried to take care of. I can't quite remember what steps I took but I noticed that something happened to my computer where the HP Updates were being blocked (now seems to be working, thanks) and many of the programs in the [B]All Programs[/B] list of the [B]Start Menu [/B]had been altered. There a lot of [B](empty) [/B]directory folders. Some Windows programs were removed or hidden. For example, Paint and WM Player don't show up on there anymore, I have to search for MSPaint.exe/wmplayer.exe in order to open and use them. The common directories (Documents, Pictures, Music, etc.) had been taken off of the Start Menu. I had to manually find them and re-add them on there. I added a screenshot of what I am trying to explain. Also the new scan files. Again, thanks for taking the time out to help me. [/QUOTE]
