I have had a few programs on trial that I did not like and although I have removed them either manually or theough the Remove Software Program I still have the icons sitting there. They are not the original Icons that came when the programs were installed but just the white box!!
Where do I have to go to remove these? I have looked through the system but maybe I'm just be thick (nothing unusual). :?
Any help would be appreciated.
Where are the unwanted icons? In the start menu?
If so, use gsfinder etc to navigate to your startmenu and delete unwanted poo.

They are in Start>Programs
Just sitting taunting me - those evil little pixels :x
I have Resco File Explorer if that helps!!!!!!
That's all you need Stella. If you're sure they're unneeded, and you've uninstalled the programs correctly, then these may be dead shortcuts. Using resco, navigate to \windows\start menu
and just delete all the shortcuts you don't need.

I had some program installed on my Wizard and looks like "Remove programs" did not remove program entirely. There is still icon on "Programs group" although it points to location which does not exist anymore. How can I remove this icons that point to nowhere?
Use the File Explorer to delete the shortcut from
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Thanks!
How can I remove items from the All Programs list?
Remove shortcuts....
The items in your 'All Programs' list are shortcuts. You can remove them by deleting the shortcut from the following location:
\windows\start menu\programs
If you do this, they will not only be removed from HTC's program launcher within TouchFlo, but also from the standard 'Programs' list in the start menu. If you delete them and need them back, you will have to find the executable for the required program and create another shortcut for it so you can place it back in the list.
Thanks, I knew it was simple and if I just looked around in my File Explorer I could of figured that out.
Thanks again!

Using some sort of file explorer application (I use Total Command as you can't usually multi-select in file explorer), browse to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. All your shortcuts are in there.
Simply create sub-folders (media, internet, utilities etc.) and then cut and paste the shortcuts into the new folders. You can categorise it how you like and the start menu will show your sub-folders.
Hi, You might also find it helpful to increase the number of quicklinks (see tip 77 on - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638) and you can reorder your programs so that the ones you want most are at the top. You press on an icon until the "Move to Top" message appears then click on it and the programm will move to the top of the screen.
Regards.
I use cLaunch on my today-screen.
With cLaunch I can place icons for
programs, files and folders on my screen.
cLaunch is freeware and really perfect.

If you install Co0kie's quicklinks cab, not only do you get extra quicklinks on your home tab page but you get your programmes organised into rows on the programmes page.
Neat!

Thats fine, thats the way to do it, some people just delete the folders.
Are the 'white folders' in the Start Menu?
i have 2 folders in the program list, (games1 and games 2)?
and 2 white blank icons in the games folder ?

Ok, if you open File Explorer, you should be able to browse to:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
The ones you want to get rid of should be in there. Be careful not to delete the proper games folder though
Perfect, thank you for the help, I have been searching all night,
