Hi!
Is it possible to create folder shortcuts and place them in the program list in tf3d? I want quick access to certain folders on my memory card.
Thanks

Hi,
I've been looking a the Menus applet in Settings to select what I want on the Start Menu, but I cannot seem to work out a way to have a shortcut to a file displayed there, namely a shortcut to a .reg file
Actually, I have a folder on the SD card called RegFiles containing my .reg files and I would perfer to have this folder listed up there with "Programs" and "settings" on the start menu.
I tried creating a shortcut of the folder from the SD card to the Programs folder but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Michael
I installed Sashimi some time ago but as it was a bit too complex for me I deleted it. However in the program list it still shows. How can I delete it from there?
thanks
The icons for your programs are held inside the windows folder on your internal memory, you need to open up file explorer on your phone and go to \Windows\Start Menu this folder is the icons that are on your start menu and the icons on your programs page are in
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\
just delete the uninstalled applications icon from this folder and its done, you can also organise your icons into easy folders like "Internet, Media, Tools, GPS...etc".
Hope this helps you

A bit off topic, but as jab1a said above this is very useful as you can add Category Folders in Start Menu. Name them like: Web, Travel, Utilities, System and Media. Copy relevant shortcuts from you 'Programs' folder in your 'Start Menu' folder to each of these new folders.
You will need to use a 3rd party file explorer to unhide system files and rom files to see the pre-installed icons to copy them to your folders. These icons are '.ink' shortcuts. Also copy the entire 'Games' folder and 'Office' folder from your 'Programs' folder direct to your 'Start Menu' folder.
Finally uncheck all checked boxes in Menus in Settings page. This will allow all 9 folders to show in your Start menu on your home page, where you can access specific apps much quicker. Remember each time you install or remove a program/game, you have to either copy the new 'ink' icon to your category folder or delete it.
thanks a lot - very useful
Thanks for the help with that!
I had the same problem with a game and the icon was still there and annoying me!!
Thanks very much!
Thanks from me too, had three dead icons i had tried over and over again to get rid off! This worked a treat!

1- Can I put a link to the Windows' program folder (the one that appears near the end of the "Start" menu) in the Manila's program tab??
2- Additionally, can I put a link to a folder (e.g. Games) from the Windows program's folder in the Manila's program tab?
Thanks in advance.
I would LOVE to know if this could be done. Fingers crossed.
You can. I have even put files there (Manila program tab)
The thing you have to do is create a shortcut of your desired objecti (prog, folder, tab) and put the shortcut to windows/start Menu/programs folder. I created an extra "Shortcuts" folder there to not mess up the look of PROGRAMS item in start menu.
The point is you can add any shortcut to tf3d progs tab as long as it is situated in the start menu folder

It seems that by clicking the newly created shortcut, it launches the explorer progam to show what is within the folder
Not very sexy, any chance that it stays in manilla to display the folder content?

not working for me either... i did exactly what you said.. i used the built-in Explorer to create the "programs" shortcut .. but whenever i click on the button mapped to that shortcut, i get the message "The file 'Programs' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its componenets is messing...etc"
BTW, when i click on the newly created shortcut from the Explorer winodw, it opens the program folder in Explorer window too. What i need is to open the program folder in the same way it is opened when clicking "Start -> Programs"
Any ideas??
That's the same error message I got too.
Any help from anyone? I would like to know too cause mine is opening up the explorer too!
Bump. Hope this thread is not forgotten
Hi - I've recently installed some programs on my Diamond, some of which were not compatible, so I deleted the files for these from my Program Files folder in Internal Storage.
However, the icons for these deleted programs are still in the programs menu - how do I get rid of these icons?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Delete the shortcuts in the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
With File Explorer go to the "Windows" Folder on the Main Storage (Not Internal Storage), then go to the "Start Menu" Folder and then the "Programs" Folder. The icons should be somewhere in there.
A very overdue THANKS to you two - I somehow managed to lose the link to this thread and couldn't find my post again. n00b uselessness, I'm afraid.
well if your dealing with just a shortcut, you could use a program called SK tools, under a category there is a function there on removing BAD Shortcuts...
or option two, you could do it manually, install a resco file explorer got to Windows/Start Menu/ Programs and choose the applicatiion shortcut you want to delete then tap it then delete...
Hope that helped you...
You can also remove it with ActiveSync,after your connected go to mobile device-windows mobile based device-windows-startmenu-programs.Here you can select the shortcut you want to delete.
Hi guys,
I haven installed a new rom in my phone and I discovered some programs is still on my memory and it can run.
I'd like to add a link in the program section(here i can see only installaed programs so if other programs are already inside my system i cant see them)
How can I do? Thanks
in file explorer you should be able to long tap on the .exe then tap create shortcut, youve then got to move this shortcut to device/windows/start menu/programs
(i have made a copy of all the links and put it in internal storage so when i flash a rom i can just copy all the links at once)
