Start Menu items in Settings: how to remove? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

In my Settings > Menus tab I have several items which appear twice (i.e. Orange update). While not urgent nor really bothersome, it's annoying. Is there a way to remove items from the list? Just to clarify, this is not about adding/removing items to the Start menu but removing them from the items listed in the Settings > Menus list.
On the same not, some of the items (again i.e. Orange update) can't be removed. Error message "Unable to move this item" when attempting to uncheck the item. Is there a way to nevertheless remove them from the Start menu list?

You can do that by using a file explorer and going to the following directory : Windows\Start Menu\Programs and then just delete the icons you want ^^

Thanks but I guess that would have removed the items from the Programs folder (Start > Programs). But I solved the issue. Strangely enough, I had to delete the shortcuts of the applications (\Windows\Start Menu) which appeared twice in the menu of the Settings list.

Add folders to sms messages

Dear Group, if i start messagers, then look under SMS i have inbox, drafts and so on. Is it possible to add an additional folder so i can store texts from different people into separate folders?
Or better still, is there a program that will automagically filter them out into different folders depending on the sender?
Many Thanks
Bring up the messaging app, go to SMS, then Menu -> Tools -> Manage Folders.... and when the Manage Folders window comes up, tap and hold the "Text Messages" at the top of the folder tree. "New Folder" should be the first item in the menu. As far as a program to filter, google probably knows more than I do.
Excellent! Thank you very much, much appreciated

SMS Deletion

Can anyone tell me how to move read SMS into the Deleted folder? After choosing the Delete option they seem to get completely deleted, rather than being put in the Deleted folder. Is this normal? Even when going via the "All Messages" tab, the option of Move isn't available. I would like to be able to clear the Touch Flow message screen but edit the Deleted folder later.
Thanks.

True, the messages get completely deleted if deleting using touchflo. My method (to get deleted messages to deleted folder) is by going to "All messages" - SMS/MMS Inbox - Menu (bottom right) - delete. This should send the message to the "deleted folder".
Thanks, You've solved the problem!
But be careful, by default only 50 messages are kept in the "deleted" folder, so you might lose messages that way. You can increase this value with a tool like advanced config...
To keep the manilla sms page clean i created an "archive" folder where i move all old messages, so none get deleted and the sms page only shows the newest ones...
How did you create the extra folder? I have tried to do this but Manage Folders option in Tools is "greyed" out on mine. Might not be a problem as I've just noticed that I currently have 51 items in Deleted folder! Might not have a limit on my version but would still like to make additional folders.

How come on my version, there is NO "Extras" selection. There is no "Manage Folder" either.

This is how I worked around. Edit registry to disable chat mode.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Set SMSavailable=”0″ to disable chat mode (default is "1" = enabled)
Restart.
Go to "All Messages"
Menu - Tools - Manage Folders - menu driven from there.
Now you can move messages to the newly created folder including "Sent" messages. However I am not sure about the storage capacity allowed.

Method above is no good. It also kills the incoming SMS (sound) notification.
Follow this one. I've tested and works fine.

Problem with "All settings"

I have a problem when clicking the "all settings" in the settings tab, sometimes it won't work.
I've searched and found that somehow the system deletes the files, so i have to go to "windows\start menu\" and delete the Settings folder and create again, than do a soft reset, so the system puts the programs back.
Do someone know what is happening?
I figured out the problem when visiting the settings I have to press the end buttom and do not click on de X, if I'd click I'd shut the all settings down and couldn't open.
Don't know what happens but the answer is DO NOT CLOSE THE ALL SETTINGS
