I removed MS Money 2006 but have leftover icons in the Programs screen as well as in the Menu list. I've searched the registry for any related entries, but nothing comes up. Any ideas where I can remove these bad icons from showing up?
yep!
Goto Start > File Explorer > My Device > Windows > Start Menu > Programs
Then delete the appropriate program, Hope this helps

I've canned the 8125 and got the 8525! Love it!
Question:
In Start > Programs
Games & Active Sync are both missing!
I can access both right from the start menu, but still I find it akward that their missing from Programs list...
Any ideas?
go to Start->Settings->Menus and unselect Games and ActiveSync
they will be removed from the Start Menu and added to Programs
Thanks! Nice to know. I don't like that it's a either/or option!
Know of a way to make it show in both?
TIA
you can always launch File Explorer (or other file manager) and copy the .lnk files into both locations
Hi!!!
How can I put in my "Programs" menu programs like Internet explorer and other programs that are not in the usual programs directory??
Thanks!!!
Hit Start > Settings > Menus. Uncheck the ones you want to appear in the Programs folder and hit the ok button.
You can move them into sub-folders as well if you so wish using Total Commander i.e. Start > Programs > Applications > Internet Explorer.
Its simply a case of moving the shortcuts from Windows\Start Menu\Programs into the folders you want.
Thanks but how can I put there the internet explorer?
How can I make shortcut at my diamond??
Thanks!!
Hey, some time ago i changed some things on my HTC HD and one of those things is my start menu. When i open the start menu i see a list of smaller icons than you see in the standard start menu. In the beginning you only see the 7 programs that you want your start menu to show. But somehow i've changed my start menu which shows the following now:
Agenda
Messages
Contacts
Internet Explorer
Notes
Telephone
-------------
//Recently opened apps
App1
App2
App3
...
-------------
Programs
Settings
Help
The problem is, is that i forgot how i did this... So i was hoping any of you could tell me how i did this.. If i get the chance all also try to add a picture of my menu and the default menu, so you get a better picture of what i mean.

Using a file explorer, you can add or delete new folders to your 'Start Menu' folder. Name them like: Web, Travel, Utilities, System and Media. Copy relevant shortcuts from you 'Programs' folder in your 'Start Menu' folder to each of these new folders. You will need to use a 3rd party file explorer to unhide system files and rom files to see the pre-installed icons to copy them to your folders. These icons are '.ink' shortcuts. Also copy the entire 'Games' folder and 'Office' folder from your 'Programs' folder direct to your 'Start Menu' folder. Finally uncheck all checked boxes in Menus in Settings page. This will allow all 9 folders to show in your Start menu on your home page, where you can access specific apps much quicker. Remember each time you install or remove a program/game, you have to either copy the new 'ink' icon to your category folder or delete it.
You can also use utility apps like HDTweak & Advanced Config to change size of Start Menu
If you go to Start/Settings/System/TouchFLO you also can change Start Menu size

Thanks! That's the one i was looking for ^^
Hi,
As part of my customization process, I would like to disable some icons from the Setting menu's of WM6.5 (not TouchFlo).
I managed to remove a lot of icons through the registry settings in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Speech, by moving them to a non-existing group (Group=3). This works fine.
However, some of the icons in Settings/System do not appear below this registry key, such as External GPS, Encryption, Remove programs... Is there a way to remove these as well?
Alternatively, removing the entire Settings menu would also be fine. My first approach, deleting the Settings folder from \Windows\StartMenu causes the entire Start Menu to appear empty!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: I managed to remove the Encryption icon by ADDING an 'Encryption' key to the ControlPanel part of the registry. Other icons I haven't so far. I suppose the key lies in correct names.
How can I obtain the names for:
Managed Programs
External GPS
Error reports
Memory
Info
Country Settings
Regional Settings
Microsoft My PHone
Remove programs
Screen
Task Manager
Connection settings
??
Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo:HideSettings to 1 hides the Settings folder from the Start Menu. That fixes my problem for now!
I rather choose to "hide" my icons.
You can do this by changing the registry like this:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Encryption]
"Group"=dword:00000002
"Hide"=dword:00000001
This will hide the Encrption icon in the Settings panel. I use this on the Rhodium, Blackstone, Diamond etc. but it should also work on the HD2 I guess
mccune,
The "hide" could be done for entries that are present in HKLM\ControlPanel like Encryption. For those entries that DO NOT EXIST in ControlPanel but whose icons appear in Settings like "Microsoft My Phone", do you have any idea how to suppress them?
Thanks for your assistance.
Noticed there are also some numbers in that registry key. Guess you'll have to trial and error a little to see what number corresponds to what icon.
I'm still looking for a way to hide the "Managed Programs" icon ;-)
Perhaps this program can help you out.....either hide the icons or put them away in a folder......
This program only applies to WM6.5 and also just to the Start Menu. It's fairly easy to remove icons from the Start Menu, just delete the LNK file in \Windows\Start Menu\
The discussion was about the icons in Settings. Most of these files are CPL files.
mccune,
It's exactly that! The file underlying that icon is Windows\MyPhoneLauncher.cpl for the application "Microsoft My Phone". I tried a number of ways to rename the file, rename the extension CPL in CPL2, move the file to other folder, even delete the file in order to remove it from Settings/System but always failed.
The file appears protected as part of the ROM. This is the 2nd day I'm after this problem and I still see no light...
(I tried to use the tool JWMDIconChanger but it doesn't work. Thanks anyway.)

Does anyone know the name of the .cpl file, or the name of the registry key in \HKey_Local_Machine\ControlPanel\, for "Managed Programs"?
I looked, but can't find anything that even remotely looks like "Managed Programs".
Hi everybody,
Like on all my PDA devices I like to organize my Start Menu in folders.
No problem to create folders on HD2. I've moved and organized all the shortcuts in this folders.
The point is some shortcuts are re-created in Start Menu root : shortcuts to HTC Calendar, HTC Footprint, HTC People and Music
Is there a reg tweak to prevent this ?
hi another question on this topic, does deleteing items from the windows\startmenu folder stop apps from working or are they just shortcuts as i installed apps like sktool/memmaid and it add shortcuts to items i dont use like quick clean and stuff and i dont want them but if i delete them will they stop the cleaning from workign in the main app?
No that's only shortcuts
ok thanks will remove some then
thanks
I would like to know as well... it gets really annoying as they keep on regenerating!!!
I have the same problem: deleted them, but they insist on coming back.
Oh, well
I can't find a way... Search in th registry but nothing !...
I have that same. Renegerating are only HTC removed icons like calendar, people, music. And its become with empty white icon.
Yes exactly white icon except HTC Calendar...
its because they are rom files. once you softreset, the device automaticly restors them.

Thats not it. They are being created by Manila. It appears to be related to the personalised tabs option - if you disable a tab it removes the icon.
If you use Total Commander to set the icons hidden + system, then soft reset they wont show in the start menu.

How do you do that ?
Show -> Treeview.
Navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Select HTC Calendar.lnk
File -> Properties
Tick Read Only, Hidden and System
Repeat for the rest...
Argh
Doesn't work for me. After a soft reset, the shortcut are still there
I just tried that, but the icons appear after a restart.
Annoying!
Right, sorry, that was my fault! You have to set read only + hidden + system, otherwise it still overwrites the icon. I had this set but only incase i changed the tabs later, I didnt realise it was required.
Yes it works !
* Show -> Treeview.
* Navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
* Select HTC Calendar.lnk
* File -> Properties
* Tick Hidden, System and Read-only (Keep Archive ticked)
* Repeat for the rest...
Thanks a lot !
