Help! The "Settings" menu item in the Start Menu list has suddenly disappeared - what happened to it?
I think You tried Pocket Mechanic 2.xx Professional?
You must creat empty directory Settings in Windows -> Start Menu - and here you creat directory

Hi
I am somehw missing the icon in the Start > Programs Running Programs ..the one that shows wut applications are active ..with the icon that shows a running figure.
Can someone tell me where to find that application in my windows folder so I can create the link back to my start menu?
it is in the control panel - memory - running programs
I dont see control panel
it is called 'settings' in wince.
but i think he's asking where the exe file is located so he can make a shortcut to it
It's not a link
The "Running Programs" that you see on the Start menu or Programs menu is not a link. It is the executable file itself, named "Running Programs.exe".
I dont see any "running programs" under "start" or "programs", the only place I see it is under settings/memory.
there is no separate program, it is part of cplmain.cpl, you can start it by running
Code:
ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,4
"Running Programs.exe" and "Free_Memory.lnk
There is a 5,120-byte EXE file named "Running Programs.exe". I examined it. It looks like all it does is launch "\Windows\Free_Memory.lnk", which contains "18#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2". The EXE file also provides a nice icon that we see on the Start Menu. Running "Free_Memory.lnk" directly produces the same result as running "Running Programs.exe". So you can just copy "Free_Memory.lnk" to "\Windows\Start Menu" and rename it to "Running Programs.lnk". You won't have the same icon though.
I have uninstalled some programs but the icon still appears in Programs. Is there an easy way to remove the icon.
Thanks.
jpfrost,
to remove the shortcut in programs: Open file explorer, Go to folder “My Device > Windows > Start Menu > Programs". You will find the shortcuts there. Delete it and it should disappear from programs.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I upgraded with a cooked rom, and want to know how to make new folders or catagories in the "programs" folder off of the start menu. For instance, I used the "create misc folder" from stephans kitchen and would like to create additional folders, such as office and accessories inside the programs folder.
If I create or copy the items/folders I want into the //windows/programs dir, nothing appears when I open progs folder off the start menue.
I have them on the start menu as items to launch, but would also like them to appear in the "programs" link off the start menu.
Any ideas?????
so you want folders in the start bar like in windows ?
or do you just want dirs in your program files dialog when you open it ?
i recall some program which made the start bar work like it does in windows and it was pure agony to use
You need to create your folders under //Windows/Start Menu/ these will then be displayed on your start menu.
I'm an idiot.
Ignore this thread.
But thank you for the help, you made me look a little differently, and I saw the err of my ways!(I only put my custom folders into the start menu, not into the start menu/programs/ dir)
my settings icon from my start menu on my universal has disapeared!, so when i click on start < settings , (their is no settings) which means i cannot remove programs, amongst other things, i seriously don't want to re-install
(i may have accidently deleted it, )
i think it is just a folder with some short cuts in it and was hoping that someone would be kind enough to browse their universal to windows < start menu < and zip up the settings folder and then email it to me
any help or advise, muchly appreciated
my email address is [email protected]
thanks in advance
cheers

Create an empty folder named "Settings" (no "") in \windows\Start Menu\ and then soft reset.
perfect, thanks a lot
it works.
only thing now is my remove programs shows no installed programs, luckilly they show in pocket mechanics uninstaller, so i'm good to go
