Open File Explorer and find the icon in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs. Then delete it.
jljones,
thank u so much....it was getting really annoying.
Similar problem, I installed Tube application, then updated and had to re-install after a hard reset. i now have 6 icons in total for application under programs, despite deleting everwhere I could find it. Have tried above fix, but it does not display under file explorer either.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Richard Racer
maybe the shortcut is hidden from explore or something
try the program totalcommander it let you see hidden files
programs really just show all the shortcuts placed in those dir's
and settings just show all cpl files located in windows
I strongly recommend you for permanent use Resco File Explorer, which can show you ALL files (including HIDDEN). This problem can been solved by means of it.

oh, ok, its just said on that thread that it only works for windows mobile 2005
how would i go about clearing out my startup programs??
connect to activesync
explore device
windows/startup
should be a bunch of files. delete the ones you don't want (or the ones that have systray icons)

awesome, so intsall the cab 1st then do that?
nah. you can install the cab OR do that
or you can do both. it doesn't really matter. Cleaning out the startup folder increases your ram too, though

the proper name is StartUp. if you cant find it using your pc, try using file explorer on your wing

Hi all.
Have searched and searched but not found anything so here it goes.
I cannot access settings below the startmenu anymore if I click it the phone reboots.
I tried uninstalling some of the latest programs I installed but to no use (last program beeing BlueFire Mobile VPN which works great by the way).
I can however for instance access the wireless and bluetooth settings if I go via the comm manager.
If I check in file explorer under windows\start menu the settings folder is empty (though I am not sure if its supposed to hold any icons).
So anyone have any tips? Is there some kind of eventviewer available on the device or maybe one you can download (or maybe a crash/debuglogg somewhere)?
Noone knows eyy thats toobad?
Could someone maybe post the contents of the windows\start menu\settings folder and maybe I can sort it out myself?

that folder is empty for me as well.
try to go up one level to startmenu, and check if the setting folder is a shortcut that is mapped to a restart command instead of the real settings.
other than that, soft reset , if that doesn't work. umm. .hardreset is the only thing i can think of.
Thanks for that info then I atleast know seomthing is not missing in that folder.
Have tried softreset several times I guess I have to bite the apple and do a hard reset.
Hi,
Got rather a big problem. I installed Resto Explorer and was using it quite happily until the trial period lapsed. I did purchase the program as I liked it but got the wrong license generated and still waiting to hear from their support on getting it fixed. In the mean time I was unable to edit or do anything of substance.
So in my wisdom I decided to remove it for now. Big mistake! I am now unable to explore my phone as I cannot find the default explorer. I think I may have removed that from the start menu. OCD cleanliness you understand!!
So I cannot explore at all and thus cannot install anything to replace it.
Anyone know how I might recover from this one?
Cheers.
try installing total commander
Ok panic over. I used pcsync to copy a shortcut of fexplore.exe to start menu. Phew!
What someone mind posting the registy location and values of the default file explorer please so I can fully recover as it was and this time keep it there!!
Thanks.

Not quite sure what you expect to be stored in the registry for the file explorer. I've had a brief look and can't see anything in there. Just using it will set up any data storage that it uses. AFAIK it only needs to remember the last location it was in - nothing more.
Well at the mo all I have in the start menu now is "Shortcut to fexplore.exe". I woudl like to clean that up as far as possible to be what it it supposed to be.

Open file explorer and go to windows\start menu\programs and find the shortcut. Just rename it in there.
Incidentally, if you select an application, anywhere on your phone and do "Copy", you can then go to the above mentioned programs folder and do "Paste Shortuct". Just in case you lose any more shortcuts
My standard file explorer takes MINUTES to load from a fresh soft reset. I deleted something on the startup folder with some *.lnk which probably had some stuff to do with it. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks and Merry X'Mas to everyone!
Tell me the name of the ink and tomorrow I will try to find it and post it here
Hey thanks!
It was poutlook (i don't use any email programs except webbased from Opera), and some clear WMPlog file or something (don't remember). Also PG.lnk i've removed. Merry X'mas and thanks for your help in advance!
did you try and install the fileexplorer addon that gives you the extra menus, it makes it slow and crappy in alot of WM6.5 roms, including the ones that come with the leo.
hi thanks for the response again but no i didn't install anything for file explorer (next to total commander as i just couldn't stand it anymore). It seems as if you are RESORTING the order of the file names (eg, date, type, etc). It's just under /windows directory.
Check to see if your files are sorted by name. Sorting by something else might be the culprit.
i had the same issue but it was the storage card, that was defect. I bought a new one and all worked fast again!
Hi,
I am starting to grips with the HD2, and windows mobile slowly but surely. I'm now ready to take the plunge with the registry editor and file editor. A lot of people recommend Resco, so I have tried to install it from here http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/downloads.asp
I install the cab on the phone and ge the resco icno in the start menu, but when I click it it says
"The file ':RRegistry cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the files."
I tried installing it again but go the same message. What am I doing wrong?
And now I have another issue. I uninstalled it and non I have duplicate HTC People, HTC Footprints, HTC Calendar, HTC Music, and HTC Twiiter icons in the start menu. HOwever, the pictures of these 'new' icons are all the same, and are just look like blue and white folders. WHere have these come from and how do I get rid of them?
Cheers
I have installed Resco File Explorer without any problems. All I can suggest is that you remove it then reset before trying to re install.
If you still have problems SKTools also has a registry editor which works well but resco is a really good file manager.
With regard to the icons on the start menu once you have registry editor up and working there is a fix for that in the sticky "hints and tips thread" at the start of the forum.
Good luck
Sorted it, was downloading for smartphone, when needed to download for pocket PC, what a numpty
Snerkler,
Be really careful when using any registry editor. The ability to screw things up is huge!
Always start by taking a backup of your registry first (think you can do this with Resco Explorer) BEFORE making any changes. May as well also backup the device in case you really screw up and need to hard reset.
I'm not trying to scare you, rather give you the benefit of some bitter experience!

PS If yo install the tool BSB Tweaks which you can find here on XDA, you can use a setting that allows you to install unsigned apps.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice. I have already tweaked a couple of settings, but not backed them up :-/ Only changed this though so nothing too major:-
35. Enable Clickable Links in Zoomed Out Opera
This reg edit allows you to tap on a link without the need for zooming in first.
HKLM/Software/Opera/Info/az_overview_threshold
Change value from 64 to 32 (I've changed it to 10 though as found 32 still didn't work)
HOw do I back up registry using resco? And how do I back up the phone?
When I installed resco I got duplicate folders in my start menu for message, emails and things, but the icons were just blue and white folders, how do I get rid of these icons?
Try going to My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and looking for the duplicate entries using Resco Explorer. Delete those entries and you should be OK.
Resco Explorer has a 'Recycle Bin' facility in case you want to make sure you keep the deleted items until you are sure you don't need them.

After a soft reset, the duplicate entries come back.
