Accessories Missing From Start Menu Windows 7 Solved

Hello Everyone,

One day i needed to get to my command prompt to use it for a class homework and noticed that my accessories folder was missing from the start menu. I searched everywhere online to find a solution and it gave me complicated ways for a solution, such as: download a program and then change the folder of that program with everything that is in accessories which could be found in this folder.......and so on.

But as I looked deeper into the problem I figured it out!!!! Somehow the Accessories folder was assigned to be hidden, so you could not see it when you click on the Start Menu button. So to change it follow these steps:

1. Go to:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

2. You should be able to see Accessories there and it would look fuzzy compared to the other folders. Right Click it and select properties.

3. Under Attributes, uncheck Hidden.

4. Click Apply

5. Click Ok

6. Restart Computer

Kukuicup Billboard 2

So last week I said that I was so close in making the 1,000 resources and that I had to stop entering resources and change the titles to be more interesting. So this past week Taka and I have completed that task and now I can go on in entering more resources in to the resources form. Maybe this time I will add the goal to be higher again, maybe 1200.

But other than the resources page, Taka and I have been tasked with recreating the resources page and this is what we have come up with as a mockup:









Personally I like this one, because it displays the competition name, logo, and the url.



What we based these mockups on could be found here: Billboard Requirements. Also, the project page could be found here: kukuicup-billboard2.

The billboard is going to be the recreation of the kukuicup-billlboard following the mockups above.

This is going to be another great experience because now I get to work more with javascript and html. My past projects that I worked on in Professor Johnson's class is in java, php, Content Management System, and CSS.

Tune in next week to see what me and Taka have created with the billboard.
