I had the File Explorer icon in my programs folder. It is now missing in my Cingular 8525 Windows Mobile 6. How can I get the icon back into the programs folder?
activesync you device to the pc, then from the pc browse to \windows
create a shortcut for fexplore.exe, and move that shortcut to \windows\start menu
it's
\windows\start menu\Programs
unless he want it in the quick list
also you dont have to use the pc
you can make perfectly good shortcuts
using total commander and other explores
maybe file explore itself cant being that it suck a bit but reso
and total does the job

hi,
I am having problem deleting an icon from the promgrams section of o2 XDA2.
I downloaded one program and later deleted the program through romeove program. The actual program has been deleted but has left behind an icon on the programs list. I cannot figure out a way how to delete it. Can anyone help

Deleting items in program list
Look in "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" - they are all there.
use explore or what ever file browsing tool that you use to get your kicks
go into the dir called windows
go into the dir called start menu
go into the dir called programs or something like that
it's just like on a pc
Use File Explorer. Go to \Windows then \Start Menu. Open \Programs and do whatever you want.
Coming from a magician, i have problems editing the start menu of my tytn...
Plz can you give me the key/keys to unlock (and move/delete) the links into start menu & programs folder?
thnx!
Just use the File Manager to cut and paste, or use the "explore" function of Activesync and do the same on the PC.

some default start menu shortcut cannot be deleted from pc (using activesync) as there are with read only attributes. just copy all the shortcuts to pc first, then delete all the
shortcuts from ppc using file explorer or totalcmd or any file explorer. then u can rearrange them back from pc and just copy back to pda.

Thanks, i know how to organize ppc menu & subfolders, but the ppc give me an error if i delete/move files into it.
Thanx 4 the tip!
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
Hello all, it may be a stupid question, I'm new to WinMo (moving from Symbian) but how I can create folders in Start Menu list (WM 6.5) and move installed applications to these folders ?

Hi Muntos!
The easiest way is to connect your device to the PC via activesync. Then click on "Explore" and copy your programmes and paste a shortcut in the windows/start menu folder. Don't put the actual programmes in the windows/start menu folder.
An alternative way would be to do it on your Diamond 2 using the file explorer. Use your stylus to press and hold the programme, then it comes up with a menu. Press "copy". Then using the file explorer, navigate to Windows/Start Menu folder and then press and hold the stylus in a blank part of the screen. Again, a pop-up menu will appear and you select "paste shortcut".
Total Commander PPC
Hi all
Total Commander for PPC is a very useful tool for this exercise. In particular it has a function to "Hide files in ROM". This allows the Windows folder to load in a fraction of the time but won't hide any of your start menu shortcuts.
You need to navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\XX where XX is the folder you want to edit/populate. If you want a folder to appear on the start menu itself, e.g. Games then create this directory:
\Windows\Start Menu\Games

Thank you guys, you made it very clear !
If you mentioned Total Commander, have you found a solution to the freezing problem when accesing Show\Directory hotlist ?
the program is uninstalled but the icons are still there. how to i remove them?
x2
I don't own X2 but I would expect it's similar to other wm devices: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\...
all you have to do is delete them there
best
didnt say it in my previous post but i already did that ;(
If you had really deleted the corresponding entries in the start menu folder you would not have any shortcuts there. Because that's what a program does when it is installed. It places a shortcut either in the start menu folder (visible in the start menu) or in its subfolder programs (visible in the programs menu). I recommend you check again those two folders for shortcuts and if you find some you delete them. The folders are
windows\start menu
and
Windows\start menu\programs
Depending on the language of your rom these foldes can be named slightly different.
P.S. Make sure you use a decent file explorer like Total Commander or Resco Explorer which show hidden files too.
