Hello!
I tried to open my "windows folder" in File Explorer, and it took forever. Problably due to the many, many files in there.
It seems that my Touch is collecting lots & lots of .dll files (looks like the windows logo on a white piece of paper).
My question is, can I delete these files without causing any problems to the device?
Thanks!
mmmm
Yes delete all of them !! including the ones that say VERY IMPORTANT DO NOT TOUCH ...

FORGET ABOUT IT! It will kill your Elf! DLLs are main system files, deleting them will damage Windows Mobile!
Why do you want \Windows to load faster? Maybe we can help?
The folder always took a minute to open. The last time I opened it, it took about 2 min. or more to open. I thought it was frozen, so I soft reset the phone; tried to open again, and it took over 2 min. I just noticed that the dll files were growing.
With constant use of the internet on my phone, I don't know how many of these files will end up in the windows folder.
Thanks for the second reply
For the first...
You can use some freeware like GSFinder
It opens \Windows folder much faster that Explorer
And yes ... I thought it was frozen, too
Hah; thanks a bunch. I think I can explore with my Memmaid.
Thanks for the replies.
the reason maybe the growing internet cache:
use this tool ClearTemp to clear it
or even better (but more advanced)
change the internet temp folders to the storage card move internet explorer cache to storage card
Hello all,
I have just received a HTC HD2(Leo) from Vodafone and have paired it with my Parrot handsfree, and have set the bluetooth settings to start the Navi Panel. Except it does not start.
I then looked in the Windows folder and can not find Navi.exe , does anyone know if it is not included in a Voda variant?
If not is is possible for someone to send me a copy?
Wan
mine doesn't have the navi panel either
either the original T mobile rom or the new 1.48 rom!
Chaps,
Look here.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581144
Also you may have to use the option of showing hidden files in File Explorer to find it.

Hi
Wacky.Banana
You are correct you have to click MEnu in explorer thencheck Show Hidden Files.
Double clicking the Navi file causes the application to run.
The reason why it doesn't run when connected to my car kit is the HD2 needs to be plugged into a charger

Morning,
To unhide files in explorer go to Tools>Folder Options>View>Show Hidden Files... to solve that problem.
In terms of finding the Navi Panel file you need to explore the Windows folder on the device (fine doing this via Activesync). Once the files have loaded up (can take some time as there are stacks of files in this directory) scroll through until you eventually come to 3 files all called Navi...
Click on the properties of each file; what you are looking for is the file whose properties are application. That's the one you want.
If you want to use it to access the Navi panel, copy that file into your StartMenu folder, which is a sub folder of the Windows folder.
From here exit these folders, go into the StarMenu folder by tapping on Start at the top of your device screen and you should find the Navi file at the bottom of the items listed on that screen (you can tap and hold to get the sub menu that allows you to move the file to the top of the list).
For greater ease of use you can now copy the file as a quicklink onto your front screen. Job done!
Incidentally these instructions are based on using Activesync to access the device and copy and paste that way, not by trying to do all this on the device itself, which you might find tedious and frustrating.
If you get stuck pm me and I will see what I can do to get you there.
Hope this helps.

hi ive found all that on my htc hd2 and done all that but once ive accessed the application it wont let me choose a voice on the app when runnin
Navipanel is designed to work in conjunction with the HTC hardware car kit, which connects with a terminal under the battery cover. It's quite likely that a lot of the functions (such as speakerphone) only work with the hardware connection.
Ok, dumb question now, sorry :-(
In my haste I copied Navipanel.exe into Startup insted of Start menu. Now I can't delete or move it and it's causing some problems. Can anyone help a dumbo and tell me how to get rid of it pls?

Explain what you mean by losing 'games file' i.e. the directory were the shortcut to your games is located or something else?
Using your file explorer go to /windows/start menu/programs. You should have a folder called games in this which has the shortcuts to your games in it. If you may need to create one and copy/move shortcuts into it again
Also, did you try uninstalling game?
hi i have now found it, it was usually available when i go to programs mut its on the start list now
you can just make a shortcut to the exe file
and place it in \windows\start bar\programs
i cant find it to put it in the start menu
to the top
I deleted the following shortcuts "Transformers", "MobiTV", "Market Place" and "YouTube" from Windows/Start Menu/Program, thinking they were redundant since they were already on the home screen. But while the icons are still on the home screen, I can't get to the four programs by tapping on the icons; instead, I got the error message about "Shortcut Target" saying "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".
I was able to find the "MobiTV" and "Transformers" folders, but I could not create shortcuts from the .exe files since the "Create shortcut" was gray and did not respond to taps. My questions are: (1) How do I re-create those four shortcuts that would make the icons on the home screen work again? and more generally, (2) How do I create shortcuts (gray-colored) for any .exe files? Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated.
I know that the "Total Commander" app let's you create links where File Explorer doesn't, but I've never actually messed with that part of the app very often.
Tons of folks are complaining about the movie icon, as far as I know no one has found a way to fix it once you break it
You got it the wrong way round.
First, click on "Copy" option for the exe file that you wish to make a shortcut.
Then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, click on "Menu", the option "Paste shortcut" should be available now.
Re-created shortcut for MobiTV, but not for the other three
After seeing your answer, I realized I should have performed them on my HD2, instead of on my synced desktop PC! As long it is a .exe file, a shortcut can always be created for it on Windows program page by using the method you described. Thanks Zentury!
However, I could only recover (re-create) the shortcut for MobiTV since it is a single .exe file. I could not even find where the .exe files are for YouTube and Market Place to re-create the shortcuts for them... As for Transformers, since it is a folder with two .exe files, I could only create shortcuts for each of the two separately on Windows program page, and the icon on the home screen still does not work. Any ideas?

As for the Transformer Shortcuts use the cab posted, The other exe your looking for are in the windows folder on the phone. You Could always reinstall marketplace, for that shortcut.
Thanks for the attached .cab file! I downloaded the .cab file for Transformers but am wondering where should I put it: in the Device or in the Storage Card, and in what folder?
I did find Market Place and YouTube folders only in the Device's Windows folder, but where are the .exe files for them?! In Market Place folder, there is only one tiny file called ClientLog0 (263B); and in YouTube folder, there are four folders and hundreds jpeg files.... I did the search on my desktop PC for files in HD2 and know there is one YouTube.exc but don't know which specific folder it is in... Without getting to these .exe files, I don't know how to restore/reinstall the shortcuts for them. Please kindly advise. Thanks.

it doesnt matter where you copy the cab file do as long as you know where it is, once it is on the device use the file explorer to find it and run it. Try this cab for the other 2 link files
I tried the Transformers.cab on my Device but failed to install because of "not sufficient system permissions". Earlier, I found Transformers.lnk in Device Windows and paste it on Windows/Start Menu/Program. Tapping on the home screen Transformer button will take me to the two Transformers movies, but I lost the nice Transformers icon on the home screen; instead, I only got the boring old Windows icon in its place. How do I get the nice Transformers icon back on the home screen?
I got YouTube shortcut back to work OK now, but Marketplace shortcut still does not work. The .cab file for Marketplace installed without any error message ("successfully installed on your device") and the Marketplace icon stays on the home screen, but tapping on it does not take me to its web page. Can you suggest anything I can try? Thanks again.

I would just reinstall the marketplace cab and that should fix it. Not real sure on the icon.
I reinstalled the Marketplace.cab file a few times on my Device, still no luck - tapping on its icon on the home screen won't point to the right web page, only the same error message... The strange thing to me is there seems no .exe file for Marketplace on the device, so ... how did it ever get started?

Hi, just catching up with the latest on your problem resolution. (Note: I'm on the other side of the ocean.)
I took a look at the contents of Marketplace.lnk on my HD2 and the file location is "\Windows\WMMarketplace.exe".
Thank for taking the time to look it up - now I know why I couldn't find its .exe file on the device: it's WMMarketplace.exe, not just Marketplace.exe! Next time when I do the "search", I will use the wild card symbol * in the search string. Some valuable lesson learned!
Anyway, the shortcut problem for Marketplace was solved last night after I found another Marketplace.cab (116kB) provide by zelendel in another earlier xda forum thread. The youtube & marketplace.cab file I've been using and did not work is only about 2kB in size so apparently was not a good .cab file.
The only remaining "missing shortcut" problem I have is now changed to "missing icon" for Transformers on the home screen. The two Transformers.cab files I got from the xda forum all have the error message "not sufficient system permissions" when I tried to install them. Since the installations were "unsuccessful", the ugly blank-look icon in place for Transformers on the home screen still keeps staring back at me ...
Anyone got a Transformers.cab to share that would not cause the "unsuccessful" verdict and would restore the nifty Transformers icon on the home screen? Thanks!
Ive just downloaded that Transformers cab thinking it was going to the movie file or some funky robotic program and all i got was a shortcut leading to nothing??
Hmm, now how the hell do i remove it? Ive deleted the cab file but the shortcut is still visible on the start menu.

You probably aren't running the Tmo ROM, right? The transformers link only opens up the player for the movies that are provided to tmo owners on the included 16GB SD card...so all you did was indeed install a "link to nowhere".
You'll need to navigate to /windows/start menu on the phone, and delete the "transformers.lnk" file there.
there is an app on freewarepocketpc.net called "LnkMgr", that you can use to create shortcuts ...
works ok ..
HI, i have seen on this WM6.5 that i can't add any program (ie one thats not say google maps or one of those big companies)
i can run the program via file manager and clicking the application .exe
the phone still wont see the application as a program.
i had a jasjam before and the prgrams i am trying to add worked fine but now on 6.5 cant do this.
the only way is to run these apps, well not run but to get a short cut, is on a program like CHome but then i move away from HTC sense start up display that is nicer looking.
like i said the programs work fine, just can see them in programs.
anything that will help?
cheers
have you posted a shortcut to your windows\start menu\programs\
I'm running 6.5 and any time I have a program installed on my sd card or trying to run an .exe from the storage card (or even if the .exe is just in another folder) thats what I do and it shows in my start menu or whatever subfolder I put it in in the start menu.

Yeap, in programs folder as an .exe, other folders like goggle maps are there too. The programs still don't show or work. Should i not try and get an .cab version? since looking into this takes you into trying to understand a pda rather than a PC. The .exe files still cant be seen, i have to run them via file explorer, although now loaded a short cut via button strokes so am using that to make the task a little easier.
I ran a .cab file on another program and found it distributed files with icons and other th9ngs that seem to integrate better into the host rather than an .exe
Also been looking at all the apps these phones can have its amazing.
I have one on my phone that can change a set of traffic lights in my city!
With authorisation of course, its my job, just saying how the PDA has really started to take off. become the real modern Swiss army knife.
