i had wisbar advance unstalled via the remove program, but in the Programs menu, the empty Wisbar advance folder still exsist. how do i remove it?
thanks, eric
I would think that you could go to File Explorer, find the folder, tap and hold on it for options, and choose delete.
Or, when in Activesync use the explore function to do the same thing. Worth a try anyway.

For some reason my Internet Explorer program never appeared on the
start menu or in the programs folder. Every time I want to open it I need
to use file explorer and open it from the folder. Does anyone know how I
get it into the program folder? I've even tried cut and paste but can't.
thanks
Brett
Start > Settings > Menus* > [x] Internet Explorer
?
Internet Explorer doesn't appear as an item to be checked. That's my problem.
ah
Start > Programs > File Explorer
browse for "iexplore.exe"
tap and hold on "iexplore.exe", then choose "Copy" from the popup.
browse to Windows\Start Menu\Programs
choose Menu, then Edit, then Paste Shortcut
rename the shortcut to just "Internet Explorer".
You'll then find IE in Start > Programs > Internet Explorer
And you'll also find it in that list to add it to the Start Menu.
Thanks for the idea but unfortunately it didn't work. I have tried the copy-paste idea on the xda and I get the message "Cannot copy 'iexplore': Executable and resource files in ROM cannot be copied."
If I try to do the copy-paste thing through the PC the "iexplore" file doesn't even show in the place I can clearly see it in the windows folder on the xda!
It's got me stumped.
cheers, Brett
Those phpBB errors are getting quite annoying.

Silly protectionisms in Windows Mobile...
Try the attached file - it contains a shortcut to IE. Just place the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ - should do the trick.
PRESTO!!
Thanks ZeBoxx. Worked a treat.
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!!!
Hi - I've recently installed some programs on my Diamond, some of which were not compatible, so I deleted the files for these from my Program Files folder in Internal Storage.
However, the icons for these deleted programs are still in the programs menu - how do I get rid of these icons?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Delete the shortcuts in the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
With File Explorer go to the "Windows" Folder on the Main Storage (Not Internal Storage), then go to the "Start Menu" Folder and then the "Programs" Folder. The icons should be somewhere in there.
A very overdue THANKS to you two - I somehow managed to lose the link to this thread and couldn't find my post again. n00b uselessness, I'm afraid.
well if your dealing with just a shortcut, you could use a program called SK tools, under a category there is a function there on removing BAD Shortcuts...
or option two, you could do it manually, install a resco file explorer got to Windows/Start Menu/ Programs and choose the applicatiion shortcut you want to delete then tap it then delete...
Hope that helped you...
You can also remove it with ActiveSync,after your connected go to mobile device-windows mobile based device-windows-startmenu-programs.Here you can select the shortcut you want to delete.
Sorry...As a former Symbian user (and Mac user) I am not so familiar with Windows Mobile file management.
How can I organize my apps into the folders I have in my "Start" menu?
Whenever I install something, it just dumps it there. I assume there must be a way to do it, but I cannot figure it out.
Thanks.
(Hoping it is not a registry tweak...why is nothing simple on Windows?)
try going through file manager and creating a new fodlers and move apps to that?
as above answer, but don't try moving anything pre installed because they will re appear when you soft reset.(I'm thinking particularly of the htc apps. there is a tweak to prevent it, but it can be surprising the first time you see it happen)
Sorry, but can I just move the apps to the pre-existing folders, say....
"Games"
or
"Internet," etc?
I want to just move them. How do I do that using the file manager?
I see a "Send..." option, but I am not sure what part of the file to send. IS that how I would 'move' something to a folder?

It's a bit of a pain with file manager as you can (usually) only do 1 file at a time. Long-hold a shortcut and select cut. Then go to the folder you want it in and do menu, edit, paste.
If you use something like Resco Explorer or Total Commander then you can do multiple files at a time.

from what i understand you just want to reorganize your start menu to look cleaner.
in the start menu you have shortcuts and folders. to access them you need to start file explorer and go to: my device > windows > start menu > programs. then just cut & paste
if you want, you can also make new folders - just tap on menu in file explorer.
some of the shortcuts/folders will reappear after reset. to prevent this you need to do a trick you can find under the "tips, tricks and reg tweaks" thread.
Thanks to all...got it...so far!

If I just boot my HD2 and go to the Start menu... all I see is the list of programs that I wish to move. If I long press on them, it says, "move to top"

Open file manager and navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs then follow the instructions above to cut and paste the shortcuts.
I assume you'll want to create folders to put some shortcuts in, and you do that by going to menu and then new folder.
Hello,
I've already read some threads about this issue, but all I see is this:
"Browse to /windows/start menu/programs and move the shortcuts".
I'm using the latest Topix release and there are already some folders with apps in them, so I just wanna do the same, while using the rom's default folders.
Is that even possible ?
Thanks in advance!

It is possible and it's easy. You will need to use your file explorer. I'll tell you what I did. I'm using the Resco Explorer so I had to make sure that I could see all files and folders including hidden and ROM by unchecking menu options to hide them. Then I justnavigateted to windows/start menu/programs and cut/pasted shortcuts to folders. You'll have to repeat the process for any newly installed applications later on. Hope that helps
easiest way to do this is connect your phone using active sync and simply browse to that directory and swap things around to your hearts content. If you want to change icon files use JWMD icon changer.
Thank you people, will try both and post back !

If you can't see windows folder you need to go to start - folder optons - view - uncheck "hide all operating system files (recommended)" in Vista.
