Thanks for the hint, but in the autostart directory, there is no file called o2ActiveUI.exe or Connections.exe.

Volkan
but there is a link called Active ;-)
that's it...

Deleting the link will not delete the program but will stop it loading when you reset your device.
Depending on how you use your device it may be better to keep it installed but not running. I occasionally find I have to run it to reestablish my settings for WAP and GPRS when they give me grief.
To remove the program completely, you would have to hard reset, stop the auto-setup from running, install extended_rom cab and then open the config.txt file from the extended rom. Then one, by one chose the programs you want to install but avoid the o2 active one.

I just clicked remove programs on mine and it worked no problem. Certainly didn't require a hard reset. A friend of mine had a problem with the program saying that certain files were in use. He renamed the files that were supposed to be in use, soft reset, then remove, then delete the renamed files.
Hope that helps.

isnt it a today plugin? if so maybe it's just a matter of disabling it then uninstalling.
if not then i'd go with the startup folder and take out the lnk or whatever that makes it run on a soft reset . . . THEN uninstall.
I dont think you have to resort to a hard reset just yet since the issue is simply not being able to delete a locked (running) file, so if you figure the way to NOT make it run, then uninstalling should be easy.
I hav had trouble with installation of software creating multiple icons. The following
- ADBTransit
- ADBWeather
- Xconverter
All of these created TWO isons when I ran the install, but only one of their icons worked. Then when I uninstall, it left BOTH icons there and I can't remove them. Tried soft reset and that didn't help. Nor did syncing help either.
Anyone had this problem before?
This problem is easily fixed without the need for even a soft reset.
1) Open the file explorer
2) Go to \Windows\Start menu\Programs (or whatever it is called - my Magician speaks German)
3) Delete the shortcuts you want to get rid of
Yes, it's really that easy

I want to uninstall some of the default software such as IA Caller ID and Photo Contacts, and the Westtek Viewers (which are shockingly bad). There is no option, however, in the "Remove Programs" dialogue. What's the best way, therefore, to remove the offending programs?

The links don't work
I did it so...
There is no way(i suppose) to uninstall them but...!
Follow this few steps(only if you want to do a hard-reset).
- Hard-Reset your device after necessary back-up
- Wait(Don't enter the PIN code at this time)for the auto-install countdown message
- At this moment do a soft-reset. The auto-install procedure will not be done and all the software from Ext.ROM will not be installed.
- You get now an empty device without any modifications from your operator
- Unhide the Ext.ROM with unlocking tools(available for download somewhere at this site-it is a *.cab file for install to your device).
- Install that cabs from the Ext.ROM which you need(such as Camera,MMS etc.).
If you want,you can cook your own Extended ROM with your favorite applications with the ER2003 tool.
I am unable to uninstall programs from my jasjar. When I try to remove programs from activesyn there is no response. When I try to remove programs directly from jasjar with "remove programs" I get the response that the program was not removed and would I like to remove the name of the program from the list of installed programs. Either way my programs cannot be removed. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks
Softreset first then uninstall... Some times you can not uninstall two apps after each other. You have to softreset before each removal...
I tried your suggestions several times but it does not work for me. Any other thoughts?
Thanks
WM5 doesn't flush the registry until the device is powered off. You should either use a software based reset button - such as from SPB PocketPlus, or turn the device off (this is better), wait 10 seconds and then press the reset button.
Still no luck
I tried resetting after leaving the jasjar shut for more than 10 seconds and still I have no luck removing programs either directly or via activesync. I would still appreciate any suggestions otherwise it looks like a hard reset is unavoidable.
Thanks, a
Other way to remove programs?
Is it possible to effectively remove programs by using resco explorer? And if so, how can you ensure a clean remove?
A.
I have the same problem, I always have to remove manually. I can not install overwrite any software, and when I want to upgrade a new version, I have to find its old cab files to see the list of files to find them and delete. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Still no solution to removing programs
I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to our problem of not being able to remove programs.
Also, as we cannot remove programs via activesync or the standard remove programs from the pocket pc (Jasjar), what are the steps to thoroughly remove files manually?
Thanks

I found some beta WM5 apps cannot be removed even using Remove apps from the control panel or even the "delete" function from the File explorer! In the end I had to hard reset my JJ to get rid off two apps. I have also been told to use the Resco Explorer to delete programs from the directory directly.
Thanks. When you delete with Resco is it enough to remove folder with application or should you also clear things from registry?
Hi I installed a program that did not work with WM5, I subsequently removed it using the Remove Program amplet.
However it still shows on the Program page.
How do I remove it from there?
Don't install non-WM5 compatible apps - it could seriously harm your blood pressure when you find you machine no longer works!
Look here for apps that should work:

Thanks for the help?
The program was reported as working on wm5.
The list does answer the question does it
Try a soft reset.
I had to do a hard reset once because I found apps were removed from the Programs list but were not really removed from the device.
Soft reset does not clear it
So will have to 2wait until I completly mess it up and have to do a Hard reset :lol:
Have you tried:
open file explorer
windows - start menu - programs
and deleted the shortcut from there?
this has happened to me when I have removed some apps and it has left the shortcut in programs
