I have an obselete today program entry that is left over from an old program, does anyone know how to remove it. I cannot remove it from the list of programs displayed in Today by taking out the tick from the menu list as when I try to remove the tick I get a message saying "start menu - unable to move that item"
Any ideas please?

Is the program uninstalled?
Did you just delete parts of it?
I am wondering if it will not untick because part of it is running in the background.
You might try re-installing it and then uninstalling.
You could also try something like Sktools to examine running processes and stop any related ones.

The entry is from a previous version of Copilot. When the update removed the old version it left the old entry in the Today list along with another entry for the new version. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling without success.
Will SKtools give me the opportunity of getting rid of it permanantly or will it come back after a soft reset?

You could also try Today Plugin Uninstaller. Link: http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=22997

Sherpas's answer might work?
I suspect then, that it refuses to untick because it is either a broken link or it is now pointing to the new version that is ticked or running.
If you have all you need to re-install co pilot then an uninstall would likely remove the extra entry and if not at least I think it may allow you to untick it.
EDIT: Re sktools. I suggested that because it lets you shut down running processes. I thought perhaps it would not untick if it was`active. If you have sktools it would be worth trying. If not then as it's not a freeware application it might not be the first thing to try. (Though it does do a lot of very handy clear-out functions as well.) An unticked item as a today plugin would not be re-ticked by soft reset.

Dumb question- but maybe?
Forgive me if this seems dumb, but do you mean the TODAY screen or the START menu? (ie when you tap the start icon in the corner?)
The programs listed in the Start Menu are contolled by the control panel MENUS (Start->Settings->Personal->Menus)
The TODAY plug-ins are controlled by the TODAY control Panel (Start->Settings->Personal->Today)
I think this is the START MENU you're referring to.
The programs listed in the Menus list are the programs and shortcuts listed in the /Windows/Start Menu and Windows/Start Menu/Programs folders.
If a program deliberately installs a shortcut into the Windows/Start Menu folder, and places another in the Start Menu/Programs folder, you "can't move that item".
Use File explorer, go to My Device/Windows/Start Menu and delete whatever you don't want from there.
If it is actually items in the Today screen, then I'm at a loss.
I wondered about that but the OP refers to tick boxes that I took to mean the today plugins options.
Still he can let us know.
Mike
Nanastas you are a star !!
I manged to delete it via file explorer/windows/start menu.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and help
Ahhh...so it was a "Start Menu" item! Hmmm...ok!

After getting annoyed at missed calls (don't know if it was S2u2's fault, just testing) I decided to uninstall S2U2 using the PPC's 'remove programs'...
However, on an SMS or reminder, I get a pop-up saying something like:
"Error starting windows\start menu\S2U2.lnk"
Tried searching the reg for S2U2 but couldn't find anything - anything else I can do to stop this error?
Thanks!
You need to go into your windows startup folder and delete s2u2 and ilock from there. That should sort out the recurring errors.
If you want to remove all traces of S2U2 then also go into Programs folder and delete the folder with S2U2 in it. Take great care here that you are removing the right folder or you may screw up your device.
If you don't know what you are doing then please don't try this.

Hi all,
I have dutty's latest rom installed, and I decided I wanted extra calendar appointments on my home screen. So I *fistly* Installed "Compact Homescreen - Autohide Call history, dynamic appointment list" from hallatore from this page, then "Homescreen HD - Tore edition" from the same page because I wanted my wallpaper back.
Now, every time I tap the clock to go to my alarm, TouchFlo resets, and tapping calendar entry's goes to the old style calendar.
PLEASE HELP. All I wanted was some extra appointments on my home screen, and a dynamic 'Missed Calls' bar. I've cocked it right up.
.
The cab files seem to include the following:
00000cab.000
1C684C~1.001 = 1c684cd8_manila
25D044~1.002 = 25d04412_manila
2A0AC4~1.003 = 2a0ac464_manila
_setup.xml
Is there any way I can reset these to how they were?
Maybe if someone can copy these files from thier "Dutty HD V3.7 XT Final" rom for me, I can overwrite them in the windows folder... Would that work?
.
.
.
PLEASE!
PLEASE!
Can anyone who has Dutty's latest rom installed, please copy the following 3 files from the windows directory for me!
1c684cd8_manila
25d04412_manila
2a0ac464_manila
PLEASE! I need them back to normal.
.
Here are the 3 files.
They are copied from Duttys 3.7 XT Final with Manila 2.1.
Please press start, and count the number of icons available on the start menu.
If there are 30 slots, you're on Manila 2.1. If there are 24 slots, you're on Manila 2.0.
Please only use these files if you are on Manila 2.1. I don't know how they will work on Manila 2.0.
Edit:
If you go to settings tab -> all settings -> System tab -> Remove programs, don't you have the option to uninstall the two cabs you installed?
This should set your system back to normal.

Thanks for that Royan. It doesn't seem to have made a difference though. Now I'm thinking it's made some registry changes I don't know about.
Can someone check to see what registry entries the attached cabs have changed, and what they should be.
I feel such a fool. I'd just got the phone to a state that I could live with. I'm so annoyed at myself for trying to change it.
.
Both files do exactly the same, and that is installing the above mentioned files to the windows folder.
There are no registry changes made.
The way it looks, is that the second file you install will overwrite the changes made by the first file you install.
If you try to uninstall from remove programs, the system should be back to normal.
If that doesn't work, try removing the files and soft reset.
Soft resetting after removing the files, should restore them from ROM.
Last attempt, if that doesn't work, is hard reset. However, that will wipe the phone, so get a backup of all data you want to keep!
PIMBackup is a good program to save PIM data such as call history, SMS messages, contacts, appointments etc. You can find it by searching this forum.
Good luck

I've tried uninstalling, but the uninstaller claims it can't do it, then asks me if I want to remove it from the list, which it can't do even if I press yes.
I really don't fancy doing a hard reset, I've spent the last week setting it right up.
There must be a registry entry somewhere that tells it what to do when you tap the clock, it used to go to that lovely new alarm screen.
Also, what did the new rom do when you clicked a calendar entry on the home screen? Did it go to the new style calendar? I can't remember. It's currently going to the old style microsoft pap.

Did you try deleting the files with Total Commander ( not regular file explorer), and soft-resetting?
Actually, try renaming then to *.bak instead of deleting (just in case... )

Royan
I renamed them using Resco and did a soft reset as you said, but I'm now thinking it's not those files. The installation must have changed something else.
Damn it.
.
The installation of the two cabs did not do anything anything other than installing the three manila files.
I've opened the packages in CAB Manager, and I did not see anything else.
If the problem is not the specific files, then it must have been something else you installed.
Maybe try to uninstall one and one program, soft-resetting after each, and see what (if any) fixes the problem.
If nothing helps, I'm afraid a hard reset is your only option.
Look on the positive side, If you spent a week customizing your phone, you know what you did. It shouldn't take you more than an hour or three to get all it back.

2 hours later and...
Hard Reset - Done.
Reinstalled everything, resynced, re-setup my emails, put all my favourtites back, all that's left is to remap my contacts with thier facebook selves and I'm done.
NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN...
Unless someone knows how to get more appointments on the home screen on Dutty 3.7 XT...
Congratulations!?!?
Good that you're back to a working device.
Just sorry that it took a heard reset to do it.

The question is in the title

it is funny you mention because the question really is how to close opera. Once you have opened opera it stays on. the only thing is that you cannot see it in the task manager. they made it invisible so you can't kill the process. but now you also cant start it up from there. so when clicking the X you are minimizing the app. don't you think it starts fast when opening it for a second time. when new roms come without manilla, you will see it again in the task manager

just exit the program via the opera-menu then it really closes.
if you use the X it does only minimize.

that still doesnt close it, if u use a proces monitor like Sktools u can still see Opera9.exe running, its even in the top 10 in mem usage. killing it in the process monitor doesnt seem to fix it either as the proces gets restarted somehow, but it does use lots less memory afterwards
I uses Touch Pro (Raphael) before switching to Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium), Opera minimizes visibly in Task Manager. But not in Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium). Now I know...
But is there a trick or 2 to modify the registry in Manila file(s)?
this would explain why sometimes as I'm moving offices etc and connecting to different wi-fi's sometimes although the wi-fi is connected it continues to use 3G.
I shutdown Opera and restart usually to try and force it to use the connected wi-fi but sometimes it just doesn't.
Turns out I'm not really shutting down opera hence why It continues to use it's original connection to 3G (not always though.)

I have been playing around with the registries and it seems there are some registry settings that you can change to prevent that
HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System
If you look into the above folder, you can find a list of apps that will run under exclusive, meaning they will not show up in the normal task manager. You will notice Opera9.exe is in there. If you remove the entry, you can now see Opera9.exe in the task list. But it still doesn't seem to terminate the process when you exit Opera. Hence for the first poster, if you just stop here, your Opera will minimize visibly to the tasklist once you click on the "X"
For those who want to further kill Opera when you click on "X", you need to go to
HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\TerminateProcess
Add a DWORD key (Opera9.exe) and set the value to 1. Now when you exit Opera, the process will be terminated and memory returned.
This works for me.
Cool~ Will try it out. Thanks so much!

It's work! And I was looking for this for a long time !Thank You!
is there ANY possibility of someone posting a screenshot of exactly what this looks like when it is typed in? I am so new and i dont want to mess up anything. Thanks.
But it opens very quickly when you want to use it again. Almost immediatly.
I just use cleanRAM a couple of times a day...Mostly after using opera
As far as I know opera keeps running is because push page is enabled.
Turn off push page in registry and reboot, then and it should not be always running in background.

Hello,
Sorry, it doesn't work for me
I've tryed every solution I found, I believe on registry settings, but all I found doesn't work, the opera9.exe process still become again and again, however I kill it, turn on the registry keys (RealExit, allready on), using the right menu of Opera for the built in "real" exit, killing Opera9.exe from different Task Manager (then OperaL.exe appears a few seconds, then Opera9.exe again), renaming file OperaL.exe to not be launched at startup -> another one was restored (more ancient) !
How is it possible to change any settings on a brower, or installing any plugin, if this one is always running ??
Thanks for help

Yes, you did it ! Woohoo !
Thanks a lot for this tip, it helps me !
In fact, I didn't need to install the NoPushInternet_v2.CAB of TinTin, but thanks to him ; the indication that there is a service to stop was suffisant for me. I set myself the PushInternet service to start manually, with FdcSoft Task Manager. After soft reset, Opera is not launched automatically !
I gain 5% of free memory.
In addition to that, Opera works better now, the splash screen of Opera Mobile appears when he starts, sign that it is really launched manually. And Flash Player runs now, that's great ! Sign that it is not possible to install a plugin when the browser is still running. And also, when minimized, Opera appear in the Task Manager menu of TF3D, great too.
Strangely, when I use the Opera menu to exit, it does not ! He's not minimized, but Opera9.exe is still running. But I can kill it and he doesn ot reappear.
Also, if I use the X button, Opera really exit ! So, all is allright
Anybody has an idea oon which process to chose to do the same with Activesync ?
Should be \Windows\repllog.exe ?
Hello.
I need your help:
I downloaded one program where you move your finger to the left (or right) on home screen, 12 (or 16) squares pop up (where, I think, you have 3 different wallpapers, and 3 themes,...) and after setting one theme (I think the 3rd or 4th square on the top), I LOST MY HOMESCREEN and I can't find it
What do I do???
remove the programe u installed..an reset leo
I don't know where it installed
go to settings> application> remove programs then select the name of what you want to uninstall and click "remove"
soft reset when that's done
That's the problem...I don't have "settings" anymore...everything is gone It looks like the whole "sense" is gone and all its goodies...
what happens if you press the "start" hard key? does that bring anything up? If it does you can get to the settings from there
I'm looking at the thread i posted earlier and it seems I'm stuck on the 3rd screen, because I also have only "phone" and "contacts" on my two soft touch keys...I can't go back to my main screen and even when I uninstalled that program (which I only presume was the right one), it's still the same...
so it looks like you *may* have disabled sense? Easily re-enabled as long as we can find a way to get you to your settings... Have you tried the start hard key at all? Otherwise, then I'd suggest hard-reset as the easiest option unless someone else can come up with any other suggestions
Yes, my hard key works, but the whole "settings" are missing, when I click "settings" it comes up the same as it did before, when I clicked "tools"... I managed to find "remove programes", but even after deleting everything that might have affected my home screen, it still doesn't work...
hmmm then I don't know I'm afraid, you might want to wait for someone else to suggest something else or just go for a hard reset
Thanks anyway, I hope I won't have to hard reset...
"to get back to TF3D, you can MaxTTM and do a TRefresh or the usual manual way of activating your Today items" <---- how do I do that?
You should be able to cable to phone to your PC, then uninstall the problem app using activesync/WMDC. Not sure if you've already tried this?
forgive me if im not entirely getting what ure problem exactly is. take it sense is gone and you can't get at settings because the settings link in start menu only links to the sense page. if you install bsb tweaks found here on xda there is an option to show original settings in start menu. do this and soft reset if the program prompts. now you should have manilla settings and settings in your start menu. go to settings then today settings. then on the items tab check that sense and only sense is ticked. click ok and fingers crossed it should be back.
WORKING!!! Thanks to all of you!!
