deleting bad shortcuts - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I installed some games on my Wizard and after uninstalling them they still show up in my Games folder. When I click on it, it gives me an error message. Is there any way I can get rid of the shortcut?

With file explorer or total commander etc, go to \windows\start menu\programs\games. You should find the shortcuts there so you can delete them.

Remove Program Icon for Uninstalled Program

I installed Nevo on my 8125, and I couldnt find it in the add/remove progs via activesync, so I just deleted the program folders and short cuts. Now there is just a blank .exe in my programs folder on the ppc. How would i remove this? thanx.
In your file explorer go to windows\start menu\programs and you should see that shortcut and be able to delete it.
Thank you mechle for posting that, its really annoying to have icons that arent linked to anything cluttering up program folders and start menus!!!

[Q]Shortcuts in TF3D

I'm just wondering if there is a possibility to create shortcuts in the Programs-Tab of TF3D of applications that are not installed but just run by clicking the .exe-file in the file explorer.
Like it is with GPong2D.
Does anyone know?
yep, just use a good file explorer like total commander (the stock file exploer may work). go to where you have the .exe storied and copy it. then go to windows/start menu/programs and just paste the .exe there. you can now launch it from the programs list. and when you use tf3d to add a program to the launcher it should show up. hope this helps

Any windows software to remove unwanted files

I installed iDialer and for some reason I am not able to uninstall it. I mad the mistake of removing the folder from the Porgram Files folder and I also tried reinstaling and uninstaling many times. now I have many idialer icons in the "programs" menu. Is there any tool available for Windows PC or Mobile so that I can remove unwanted icons and files?
You can use Total Commander (freeware) or even file explorer (whicih is a bit slower than TC). Search for the file (e.g. idialer.*), usually in \windows.. and delete it. Usually it uses the extension *.lnk (try search idialer.lnk)
If it is just about the icons in the startmenue, open file explorer, go to phone:>/windows/startmenue/programs and delete all unwanted files...
afterwards I would recommend to clean up the device by using eg sktools or something similar.
Thanks guys ;-)

Uninstalling programs on ATT tilt 2, and it says "this is a system file"

Hi all,
I am trying to uninstall program/apps that came pre-installed on my tilt 2. I just go to file explorer and delete the folders. When i do that, it will say something like "_home is a system file and deleting it may cause some programs to not work"
What does that mean and is it safe to continue to delete it anyway? Also, what is registry keys and stuff like that? If i wanted to delete a program or app, am i doing it correctly by just going into file explorer and deleting the folders? I know there are apps like total commander to delete registry keys but im not too sure how to use total commander and dont know what are registry keys. I am a first time WM user and these beauties are amazing, but it takes a while to learn everything. Thanks for all replies in advance!
Cheers

Help with deleting

Sometimes when i remove a program the picture of the program still stays in the start menu... How would i get rid off that???
you're probably seeing the shortcut. if you have total commander (or any other file explorer that would allow deleting a shortcut), navigate to the proper folder and delete it. you should be fine afterward. hope this helps =)
