Tweaks2k2 can hide various settings icons (Menu, Connections, etc). You can try it for free from www.handango.com:

How to remove start menu items?

As the title say. How can i remove some of the start menu items??
In advance Thanks
Start menu?
Do you mean homescreen, program menu, or programs that automatically start when you turn the phone on?
Windows has a start menu!
hehe, I'm a old windows user
I mean program menu

Probably have to uninstall the app to remove its icon.
Or install something like 'Apps organizer' to group together apps with tags.
is there not other way to remove icones
(ex. I use handcent sms, so it would be nice to remove the pre installed sms icon from the program menu)
Why even use the program menu?
Create your shortcut to Handcent SMS.
I just have the programs I actually use on the homescreen, e.g. handcent sms. The program menu will show all installed apps so it can get a bit messy there and I don't know of a way to fix that.
drag the icon into the trash bin. when you press and hold the icon, drag it to the menu tray. it will get it off your homescreen.
Because your an x Window user like myself im guessing you want to organise your apps in the apps menu because its getting messy as there are loads just in one long list!
Unlike in windows where you could organise them into seperate folders for example: Games, Tools, Media etc.
If this is your issue its something i looked into when i first started using Android. As yet ive not seen a solution.
There is an app that does some sort of tidying maybe it was mentioned in this thread.
If im on the wrong lines just ignore me!!

I don't get it.
I just installed Apps Organizer.
Whats the difference between this and using Folders?
There is no app that organizes the app drawer.
AppsOrganizer helps organize them on homescreen(s).
I recall an app when I had my G1 that created folders in the app drawer. Launcher2? I think?
Maybe someone else knows.

That'd be pretty sweet.
Abc Organizer:
1. You can assign icons to your "folders"
2. You can back up your "folder" configuration to your SD card
3. You can customize the sorting of the app shortcuts, like most used first (on top), last used first, alpha
That's about all I can think of at the moment. It's not that great if you have a simple config and don't mind folder icons on your desktop.
Apps Organizer, I believe, is similar, but doesn't have contacts/direct dial or url support.
What I really want is when i press the program menu button, at the bottom in the home screen. That I come to a organized menu with my favorites at the top and some programs organized in the sub menus.

Correct. As far as I know, this is not possible.
I too wish it was possible, because I would love that feature. I don't need things like Amazon MP3 sitting there being useless and taking up space.

I beleive a home replacement app called dxtop can do what you want. Not sure about the other ones.

Once your apps are tagged, you can create shortcuts to app-organizer tags (folders). If you tag more apps they automatically appear in that tag folder, same with uninstalling.
Other benifits include:
1) tag one program with multiple tags (labels), ex: tools, gps. This will make the icon appear in both folders.
2) long pressing on an icon in a app-organizer folder gives you options to change labels and uninstall.
3) new applications go into a default "other apps" folder, so you don't have to hunt for them later.

All Settings Icons on Star Menu..

Hi everyone,
1st thread I startup.. I have the TMOUS HTC HD2.. While messing around with the phone I came upon the following.. It's a hassle to have to go to Settings then click on All Settings to try and get to Remove Programs, Bluetooth, Today Etc..
Here is a neat trick to have the All Settings Icons on your Start Menu.
1. Go to Settings/All Settings
2. Click and hold the Icon you want.
3. Select Move to top.. the icon remains in its original location..
Now go to your Start Menu and the Icon you had clicked on will now appear here!!
I included Images for better illustration on before and after, you can see i moved the Bluetooth Icon over. You can also delete the copied Icon from the Start Menu by simply holding it and selecting Move Down. It will not be deleted from the All Settings screen.
This is not that big of a deal but I figured it might make it easier for others as it does for me..

floating pop-ups

hi. anyone found out how to disable floating pop-ups? i see the option to disable it, but then you'd also disable the vibrate/sound.
is there a method to disable only the floating pop-up?
What are you referring to?

no. when a text comes in, it pops up at the top of the screen. thats the thing i want to get rid off, but cant seem to unless you turn off sound/vibrate as well.
Did you try settings>apps> then select the app that you want to disable floating popup > scroll all the way down to the bottom and select apps that can appear on top and then switch this option off.
I did this for esexplorer which kept showing floating add icons
