Hi
I installed Windows Live Messenger onto my Nike and then decided that I didn't really want the application so i uninstalled them using the Program uninstaller. However after rebooting the Nike I find that still have "blank" icons with the titles for Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live. Does anyone have a way of removing the icons totally? It seems as if the removal program hasn't done it's job correctly.....

where are the icons in the today screen, tray launch or program files if in program files do this \windows\start menu\ program files and manually delete them. for tray launch and today screen i don't know
if they are in the 'Programs' folder, go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete them there, if in the 'Settings' folder, I have no clue where these are stored. Or alternatively get 'MemMaid' and let it clean up for you

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'm sure this is a no brainer, but I can't seem to figure out how to remove shortcuts from the 'Programs' listing after I have removed the software. For some reason every time I do a 'remove program', the shortcut is left behind...
I have a JAMin with the latest ROM and running Battery Pack Pro as the only Today plugin
It is simple. Open internet explorer and navigate to windows\start menu\programs. Delete any shortcuts that are obsolete.
Big thanks!
For some reason it didn't even come into my mind... sometimes it's the easiest things that we try to make difficult. I do appreciate the quick reply... and for not laughing at me

I'm not completely sure if this will work with WM5 but if you go into your file explorer with your PDA and then navigate to Windows\StartMenu , you'll find each of the shortcuts displayed in the start menu.

Have you tried going into Settings>Remove Programs(or whatever its called for WM5) and removing anything you've installed associated with the dialer and then trying again?

2. I suggest if nothing works for you then try install Schapps Advance Configuration and enable phone skin. Remove all custom dialers before trying this tweak.
1. Go to Settings>Personal>Menus. Check where the those items are unticked. (This is as per as WM6.)
thanks for your effort guys but these items do not exist any more in SETTINGS--PERSONAL--MENUS
I have picked up a bookmark from the favourites menu and pasted it in the start menu with this i am now able to open internet explorer.
for messaging i have enabled it on the today screen with SETTINGS--PERSONAL--TODAY--ITEMS AND CHECKED MESSAGING
but there are no icons for calculator and notes
Ok..normally Menus is a Windows inbuilt program.
Anyways use a file manager like Total Commander and go to /Windows.
There you would find calculator.exe and notes.exe. Create shortcuts and post it wherever u want.
I have installed a few apps in windows mobile 6.5. Some of them automatically categorize themselves under apps and games, but others do not. How do I go about moving the icons within the honeycomb? I wish we could just drag and drop em!
Thought I would post in here as it's exactly what I am asking aswell. Yeah same question. Installed programs. I am using Dutty's R6 ROM - Is there anyway to create folders or move icon inside other folders at least?
you can create folders and put shortcuts inside with total commander in \windows\start menu\programs
there is also a tool called "JSPA Program Manager" to do this in a confortable way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547618
use showaco's reSTART (search for "re/start")
it will let you uber-customize your start icons, folders, shortcuts
Hi, the HD2 is my first Windows Mobile Device, I've never used that OS before. So i got a simple question, is it possible to remove icon in the start menu? There's some like Facebook, Bing, Copilot, Help, Google Maps etc that I never use, so having them wasting space in the start menu is not in my interest.
Thanks
Open in file explorer windows\start menu\programs and delete shortcuts
Weiri cant find that directory :S

In file explorer, push -> Menu -> and then show all files.
Deleted Icons Reappear
I have an issue with this on my HD2. I wanted the HTC icons (twitter, music, people, etc.) to be in a seperate HTC folder in the start menu. I cut the icons from the Programs folder and pasted them in the HTC folder that I had previously made.
Here comes the issue: after a while, the icons reappear in the start menu, while they are also in my HTC folder. The icons that reappear are blank.
Any thoughts?
Thanks a million,
Bruce
