I deleted mywindows/ programs folder...
I wanted to delete 1 bad folder in it, and it removed completely...
:shock:
All my shortcuts and programs(links) are gone, I can't start any.
Is there a trash where I can pick it out?
Also setting back my rom (that I made luckely 1 week ago) don't work.
It says it can't find program A or needs to --register?

Please help, I'm in pain!

How can i remove the junk files installed in my /windows directory? i saw many but i dont know if it is important. is there any programs that deletes any unusefull files or junk files? Thanks
your windows dir is filled with the files that windows contain
most are located in rom and can never be deleted
Some files like when i install a software and uninstall it some files will not be deleted. (ie. Help files, images, .txt etc)
got some exampes ?
i know that sometimes shortcuts are not removed from programs
and it's temp dir is also likely to get some temp files once in awhile
but i havent had issues with alot of space being lost to files not being removed
suppose you could always make a backup using activesync and then try
to remove stuff and softreset if it cause issues with programs or windows stuff then do a hardreset and restore your backup
maybe i was wrong. maybe the files that i saw is important and not a junk files. Thank You anyway.
There are utility programs like SpaceMaker and MemMaid which will do housekeeping for you. They delete the "junk" files from your device.

Hello all,
If you could help id be appreciated :
Now that i have installed the latest ROM, i have a few issues i wonder if anyone could help. I have the O2 XDA MINI S
1. I have deleted init_try.exe and so have lost the battery meter at teh bottom of the screen. Can anyone post the UK version for O2 so i can reinstate it. I have tried running POWERTRAY from the \Windows directory, but this is only a picture and doesnt say in words the % left. Plus it is removed after reset.
2. I have CapNotify.exe in the \windows\Startup folder, but cant get it to work. Any ideas. I click it but nothig happens
3. Every so often i copy a program onto my XDA Mini e.g "PHM Registry" it says "CANNOT COPY PHM RESISTRY MAKE SURE YOUR MOBILE DEVICE HAS SUFFICIENT MEMORY , THAT THE FILE IS NOT SET TO READ-ONLY AND THAT YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO COPY THE FILE.", but my memory isnt full, and if i change it not read-only it doesnt work when i run it on my XDA
please help, id appreciate any ideas

Find enclosed the two files from my rom - should work with yours.
You need to place a init_tray.lnk file in you windows\startup directory and the files in the windows directory.
Normally when you click on capnotify.exe nothing happens - check caps/shift works on keyboard.

Hello I am very new to this and i am having trouble putting programs on my wing. I wanted to do the page pool and the iphone theme but i don't know how to put the files on my phone once i downloaded them. I have my phone synced to my laptop. i tried to copy and paste them put when i go to my phone the paste option is not available... i need help an im sorry if i sound dumb. I was able to put battery status on my phone fine, but that was because it installed itself...
If i'm not mistaken, you can just drag them and nothing bad will happen.
In ActiveSync, click the "explore" button, then click "my windows device", go to program files, make a new folder for the respective applications, then copy them there.
You can then run the .cab's from your phone via the File explorer
it still won't let me. when i try to drag the .cab file into the folder the no sign is displayed....
What folder are you trying to drag it into?
Screenshots? Probably unneeded, good to have.
Sorry to bug everyone with another problem - I don't really have all that many and love my HD2 to bits!
Due to stupidity, I had my phone connected to my PC running XP, and in File Explorer accidentally deleted some folders in My Documents in the main memory (not the storage card).
I tried to recover them, but no luck. They are not in the PC's Recycle Bin, and they are not in any Recycle Bin on the phone. I have no idea where they are and would love to recover them.
Surely when you use your PC to delete files from your phone they are not purged without going somewhere??
If so, then am I out of luck?
And if so, would someone be kind enough to tell me what folders I ought to have in My Documents in my main memory?
I still have:
My Pictures
My POI
My Wallpapers
Templates
but I know I did delete some other folders. Any ideas what should be there? I have installed in my main memory the programs in the attached jpg.
Sorry to bother you all, but I'm annoyed with myself and would love some help.
Thanks,
David

Hi, ever try this one?
"Mobiletimes RestoreUs" (somekind of recovery software for WinMo, just google it - sorry as a new user I'm not allowed to post outside links )
Said it could recover files from both memory card and main memory as well.
I don't wanna think I'll need this software later, but who knows
Hope it can help, let me know the result!!
Cheers,

you could always hard reset. It will bring the proper folders back to My Documents though what is lost will stay lost.
I'm guessing if any programs are pointed to the My Documents area, they will create a folder if needed.
My Documents (phone):
1. Business
2. Data
3. My Music
4. My Pictures
5. My Ringtones
6. My Videos
7. My Wallpapers
8. Personal
9. SwypeData
10. Templates
11. Videos
Hi guys
While looking through my registry using Total Commander, my phone had a little fit and decided to rename a folder. I didn't see what the folder was called before my phone called it ,, and then crashed.
Now nothing is working properly, such as Comm Manager or my signal, I assume because they are pointing to the folder that has been renamed, and which needs to be changed back to what it should be called.
I would attach 2 pics of the problem - the first of the parent folder and where it sits in the registry, the second of the folders that appear in the problem folder - but as a new user I can't, so hopefully I can PM these?
Does anyone have any idea what the folders in \\\registry\HKLM should be called so I can change it back to what it should be? All I know is that it starts with a letter around m-p.
I really don't want to have to hard reset.
Thanks in advance for your help!
You have;
MUI, contains 2 keys for SysLang
nls, contains subfolder Overrides
Platform, contains 2 keys for Provxml
I've got the MUI folder already, but thanks for replying
What about nls and Platform?
You said m-p, right?
I have those as well. I assume it's m-p due to what folders I saw before it crashed. I guess it could be a folder around that area though
Cheers for your help
I gave in - hard reset it was!
