Everytime we install new software to our computer, the software shortcut will be listed in the “Start Menu”. Go to “START” button Click on it then Choose “ALL PROGRAMS” and then we will prompted with list of programs that installed in the computer. For instance, if someone who use the computer “ACCIDENTLY” or “NOT” select one of the shortcut or folder listed in the “Start Menu” list, and then they right click the mouse button and on the pop up menu click on “DELETE” option they will “ERASE” the shortcut from the start menu list. It will make you go through more steps to open the deleted software in the computer.

To Prevent this kind of thing from happen ( by accident or not) by you or people who use your computer, you can do this simple steps to prevent listed Software in the Start Menu from “Deleted” by user.
  1. Go to “START” and then click on “RUN”
  2. Then on the “RUN” window box ; type “REGEDIT”
  3. On the “Registry Editor” (REGEDIT” window click to choose or select on “HKEY_CURRENT _USER then select SOFTWARE then select MICROSOFT then select WINDOWS then select CURRENT VERSION then select POLICIES then select EXPLORER”
  4. click on the “EDIT MENU”
  5. And select “NEW” then select “DWORD Value”, give the new DWORD Value name “ NoChangesStartMenu”
  6. Click on “EDIT” menu then select “MODIFY” and on the “Edit Dword Value Data” change the number from ”0” to “1”.
  7. Restart your computer.

Hope this steps will help you to make more of your windows functionality. And more understand of the windows registry.
