Take a look here[^].

Not sure what you mean here, Start -> All Programs leads to a Startup folder.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Thanks for the Start-up info, that would’ve been the last place I would look. Appreciate that.
However, I would also appreciate if in the future you do not insult my intelligence making references to "Google it". Been there , done that! FYI - my four year grandson knows how to Google. I guess I need to start posting again that Google references are not necessary.
I think you also misread my comment about Briefcase. Win 7 Help specifically describe how to activate Briefcase after creating New Folder.
There is no such option to do that on my copy of Win 7.

I did not insult your intelligence, nor did I say "Google it". You ask a vague question but give no indication that you have used Google to find any references, so I did it for you. Did you actually follow the link and read any of the entries?

And how did you think I got the notion to use Desktop to build Briecase?
I do my best asking questions, but I am not in habit to spoon feed it to the audience.
Thanks for you help, still appreciate it.
Cheers Vaclav
PS I still do not have an answer why New Folder does not have Briefcase as a option. But at this point I do not want to spend / waste any more time on the subject. Case closed.

No idea, because you did not say. I just opened Windows Explorer and found it in the File and context menus.

I have a PC with Windows 7 OS which is having problem booting up.
It runs “DOS” check disk and does not complete it and does not boot.
By accident I changed the vendor's boot to USB and it booted the OS.
I have been unsuccessful changing the setup to boot to USB. The boot precess runs differently each time I try that and never completes.
So it looks like MBR on the HD is kaput. Since I am new to Windows 7 I hope I can get to DOS fdisk and restore the MBR.
Or is there any other newfangled way to to this in Windows 7?
At one point the OS start running “automatic updates” , but started with #40 out of 72.
My guess is that the original update got interrupted and the result is no boot record on HD.
BTW , for 64 bit OS it is painfully slow, but I do not look given horse into mouth.
Thanks for your help.

Then you should also have a Windows 7 DVD so you can restore from that.

..if the MBR is broken, you will not even see the DOS check-disk. Check the machine for virusses.

how can i make windows7 ultimate genuine without using the product key?

The way to authenticate Windows is by using the product key. I know you were asking how to do it without the key, but this is not a hacker site.
