Hi. I`d like to ask. Do anybody know is any program for xperia to uninstall some programs like "vodafone live!" etc. from my programs but the are not in settings>system>remove programs? Is it any way to remove them?
Vodafone Live is nothing more than a weblink in your Programs foldered. If you go to \windows\start menu\programs you should be able to delete the file.
Thanks a lot. i did`t know that.

I recently have uninstalled a few 3rd party apps but for some reason they are leaving their icons in my programs folder, how do I remove these icons? I have already run the uninstall program and have deleted any leftover folders (pic below with red circles around what I'm talking about)
----anyone?----
\windows\start menu\programs
and remove all the shortcuts you want
know yourself out
it will not allow to remove the icons fromt the programs folder (the programs have already been installed but the icons were left behind)

Really, it's OK. People have weekends on the internet too.
Rudegar was correct in what he said to you. Maybe he assumed that you were a bit more savvy when it came to this kind of stuff. What he means is that through the File Explorer or another similar program like Resco or Total Commander, navigate over to the "\windows\start menu\programs" folder on your device. Once there, delete the invalid shortcuts. This will resolve your issue.

Lazy didn't read below, Memaid does a nice job at cleaning a bunch of that up too, and dead registry installs etc.
If this wasn't suggested already.
Hey,
I have iGo8 installed on my touch diamond.. but just by moving it to my storage card(no installation).. But now it isn't viewable in my installed programs sections.. so there is no shortcut now..
Is there a way to make a shortcut, or make it look like the software is installed?
tia
Go to the exe in the iGo8 directory and tap and hold on it>copy. Navigate to windows>start menu>program files>paste shortcut there.
works like a treat..
thanks!
only thing now is that.. iGo doesn't seem to save my configurations.. any ideas on that one?
i do exit by shutting it down..

Yeah you can create one with registry editors or you can manually create one like this.....
create a new doc and type the directory
\storage card\program files\{{{program.exe}}}\
or whatever then count the characters and put tht number in the beggining folled by a pound sign and put parinthacies around the directory..... should look something like this....
46#"\storage card\program files\{{{program.exe}}}\"
save as a .txt file
{{{program name}}}.txt
then rename the .txt as .lnk
lemme no if need more help than that
Hello!
Is there any standalone cab or reg fix so you can have the name of the program under the icon in the Program tab?
EDIT: and when you go into Program from the start menu, can you move the icons in there to a specific map so you can get the program view a little more organized?
You can move all the programs around and rename the files by using total commander or resco file explorer.
I have done this to organise the folder into many sub-folders.
Thank you Dave!
Now for the name under program tabs, couple of cooked roms that have the feature in them so there should be a easy way like a cab or a reg-hack

Sorry - I meant the program view in the START menu not the TAB (you had both).
I don't now use the program TAB in TF3D as I have all the programs organised in sub-folders under windows\programs and windows\office mobile.
I use that with quick menu and it's so much faster for my many apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3117017&highlight=secondtoday#post3117017 - it's grown since then !!)

Yeah, I realized that you mean't the ones that you access by the start menu and got it fixed, just need the solution for my main issue. Will try yours though, but if anyone know how to fix the names please tell anyway!
Dutty's ROM does that

Yeah I know, installed it right away when it came but there were a few things on there that didn't suited me (big props to duffy anyway) so I would really like to have a solution that doesn't require a whole rom.
Hi friends I've a question, when i get into Start/Programs my Programs looks like this and as you see its little bit messy and confusing http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7677/94146686.jpg

\windows\start menu\programs
use a file explorer
thank you very very much
as above. totalcommander works best for this
How do you remove programs such as Telenav when they don't show up in the Remove programs list?
Some programs are just (exe-)Files.
You can copy and delete them as you want.
I use cLaunch on my today-screen.
With cLaunch I can place icons for
programs, files and folders on my screen.
cLaunch is freeware and really perfect.
Sorry, wrong thread.

i was wondering the same thing. anyone have a solution?
anyone out there on this one?
Curious about this one myself...
I could go with post #2... if I wasn't sure you're talking about programs that are already installed in the rom image.
In that case, just like Opera 9.7, you have no way to uninstall them, not even by manually deleting the files. At least, I tried to manually remove opera 9.7 files to save space, since I now use opera 10, but it wouldn't let me.
So your only chance is to flash a custom rom without the bloatware in it.
