burnpsy Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 How do I find some of the standard Windows 7 applications (Calculator, Movie Maker, etc), and how to I add them back to my Start Menu? I haven't the slightest clue where to find them under Program Files, nor how to put them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Does your start bar have a search function? Could probably do it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Oh. Yeah, that'll do it. I forgot that feature because I've literally never needed it. In that case, does anyone have a list of default Windows 7 programs handy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 It's really just whatever you use the most. Mine has internet, calculator and powerpoint only because I use those more often than most of my other programs. Unless you mean the shortcuts like Documents and Computer.

burnpsy Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I meant the pre-installed programs like Movie Maker that are there when you first use the computer. I don't want to need 'em later only to not find them. My Desktop was wiped too, so I have to track down nearly everything. It would help if I knew about the stuff I didn't personally install. The bar at the bottom was also emptied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzi Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Just get used to searching for stuff, because search is way better than the shitty menu they introduced with W7 (or was it vista? and search is even better than xpstyle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
