I cant access my settings. The setting shortcut in my start button is missing even the shortcut in O2 Plus is not pointing to the settings . Thanks
Hard reset
Check your \Windows\Start Menu\ folder if there is the folder named "Settings". The folder should be empty. If not, try creating this folder (eg just an empty folder named "Settings". Might able to help.

Thanks, that worked. got my settings back. I just wounder why its disappering well atleast I can put it back on. Thanks for your help.
my settings icon from my start menu on my universal has disapeared!, so when i click on start < settings , (their is no settings) which means i cannot remove programs, amongst other things, i seriously don't want to re-install
(i may have accidently deleted it, )
i think it is just a folder with some short cuts in it and was hoping that someone would be kind enough to browse their universal to windows < start menu < and zip up the settings folder and then email it to me
any help or advise, muchly appreciated
my email address is [email protected]
thanks in advance

Sorry...As a former Symbian user (and Mac user) I am not so familiar with Windows Mobile file management.
How can I organize my apps into the folders I have in my "Start" menu?
Whenever I install something, it just dumps it there. I assume there must be a way to do it, but I cannot figure it out.
Thanks.
(Hoping it is not a registry tweak...why is nothing simple on Windows?)
try going through file manager and creating a new fodlers and move apps to that?
as above answer, but don't try moving anything pre installed because they will re appear when you soft reset.(I'm thinking particularly of the htc apps. there is a tweak to prevent it, but it can be surprising the first time you see it happen)
Sorry, but can I just move the apps to the pre-existing folders, say....
"Games"
or
"Internet," etc?
I want to just move them. How do I do that using the file manager?
I see a "Send..." option, but I am not sure what part of the file to send. IS that how I would 'move' something to a folder?

It's a bit of a pain with file manager as you can (usually) only do 1 file at a time. Long-hold a shortcut and select cut. Then go to the folder you want it in and do menu, edit, paste.
If you use something like Resco Explorer or Total Commander then you can do multiple files at a time.

from what i understand you just want to reorganize your start menu to look cleaner.
in the start menu you have shortcuts and folders. to access them you need to start file explorer and go to: my device > windows > start menu > programs. then just cut & paste
if you want, you can also make new folders - just tap on menu in file explorer.
some of the shortcuts/folders will reappear after reset. to prevent this you need to do a trick you can find under the "tips, tricks and reg tweaks" thread.
Thanks to all...got it...so far!

How can I get to my device > windows > start menu > programs?
If I just boot my HD2 and go to the Start menu... all I see is the list of programs that I wish to move. If I long press on them, it says, "move to top"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open file manager and navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs then follow the instructions above to cut and paste the shortcuts.
I assume you'll want to create folders to put some shortcuts in, and you do that by going to menu and then new folder.
When I press Start menu button, it brings me to the screen with only one icon on it - "Today". The rest of the icons is not there.
The folder with Start menu shortcuts
"\\\WinCE Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\.." is not empty, there are application shortcuts there.
The screenshots are in the attachment.
Any ideas, what could be wrong?
Thanks,
I have the same problem...
How do you solve it?
Not yet, I guess I will just have to hard reset it...
possible hidden folders??, worst case you'll need to hard reset

I have the same problem. Please post the solution. Thank you!
Edit: vvv Fantastic! Thanks!
("\Windows\Start Menu")ermDir("Settings") problem!
folder "Setting" must have original native 6.5 name.
For me it was
("\Windows\Start Menu")ermDir("Настройки") <- Settings
but correct
("\Windows\Start Menu")ermDir("Параметры") <- Parameters
Terms Setting and Parameters for russian language is similar, but for wm6.5 are different : )
so google string ("\Windows\Start Menu")ermDir("Settings")
for you device language
it is 6.5 language related problem
I think it is not device depended. Move to general ?
please can somebody write how fix this problem? I tried google it, but i have no solution.. its frustrating I cant get to some my programs..
Thanx
(and sory for my english)
I might have a solution, but keep in mind that I am brand new to this.
I had the same problem. I discovered that WM 6.5 has a special structure to its Start Menu inside the Windows folder, and gets confused if that is changed.
You can change around the programs folder any way you wish, apparently, but you cannot move, rename or change the SETTINGS folder that sits outside of it.
In other words when you open the folder START MENU in Windows you will find two folders, Programs and Settings. The Settings folder must be there in order for the Start Menu to work properly.
It can be empty, it just has to be present.
Use file explorer to surf to your Windows root folder, and find the Start Menu folder. Once inside make sure you see a Settings folder. If you do not, create one and make sure there is no Settings folder inside the Programs folder.
Then shut down and restart. When the unit comes back up and you hit the Start Menu, your icons should have returned.
Let me know if this works for you.
All useless until fixed initflashfiles.dat.
Enlish language:
("\Windows\Start Menu")ermDir("Settings")
Turkish language:
("\Windows\ctrlpdacom")ermDir("Ayarlar")
etc.
This did the magic!! THANK YOU!!
