I am doing this from my PC
I am trying to customise the start>programs area. When I move some shortcuts i get the error
Cannot move x.lnk, you do not have permission to create this file.
Anyone know how to get around this?
I now cant accss my /windows directory from my PC. 'Windows Explorer' on my PC keeps freezing up...
Sometimes i can get into it but most times 'Windows Explorer' freezes up. and i have to restart it
Is there anyone else who has tried to alter their start>programs bit?

Yes mate. I tried, and failed too. I ended up doing it on the phone instead.
Sorry I can't offer any help.

tried to install resco audio recorder...
it had asked me to put PITools.dll into the windows directory.
I uninstalled the program now there is an erorr message EVERY time i reload.. saying how it cannot find the file or so..
I even tried to replace the file however windows seems to be looking for it still?
is there anything any1 can think of to help get rid of this error msg.
I tried looking in registry edit ( for the dll... but there is no reference to it)
I'm a complete newbie to this!
many thanks!
My first guess is something in your StartUp folder is still there and trying to run.
How did you uninstall it? This frequently happens if you uninstall it manually. You could always try reinstalling and uninstalling using the Remove Programs applet.
You say it told you to put that dll in the Windows directory...what told you? Were there written instructions that told you to do that manually?
And lastly, what is the "file or so..." message....specifically.
I recently insatalled a slide tounlock and pinned it to the start menu. Didn't care for it so I deleted it. I didn't remove it from the start menu so It stayed as a dead shortcut. I tried reinstalling it and then removing it. It became active agian but there was another one as well. No matter what it wont let me "move" or get rid of that item. Any suggestions?
go to the windows folder
-> start menu
-> delete the shortcuts you dont like ;-)
problem should be solved... otherwise (I don't know what you exactly mean) go to settings
->personal
->menus
->tick the ones you like
For some reason that wasn't working. Kept giving me an error message "cannot move that item" . Wierd, like it was pinned to the menu perm. I appreciate the help. Total commander took care of it. Dont know why I didn't think of that before. I love that app.
If you use File Explorer you should be able to remove it. I used Resco File Explorer but had to tell it to show me .lnk files. That did the trick for me. I had the same problem.
Hi. I have few problems.
1. I don't know why I cant install any programs. I downloaded the programs and then moved to my phone storage sd, and then when I run setup file, it opens Opera Mobile, and then that's it, nothing happens. Any idea???
2. My SMS received time is always 4 hours behind. But sent time is correct. I've tried changing regional settings but no use.
3. Is there any way to change file views to Thumbnail view. I moved picture files to Storage SD, but files are not in Thumbnail view.
any help would be appreciated. Thanks alot.
2. i think it has something to do with syncing on your computer...do a search for further info

If you download .cab installer, you don't need to extract file from .cab with winrar!
Just copy .cab on your phone memory and launch installation on your phone (double click on the .cab file in the phone file explorer)

1. What are you installing? Whats the extension .exe or .cab? Im not aware of any .exe installing from PPC, yet.
2. Might sync time with pc using ms activesync to see if that solves problem...
3. No way to change that, again as that I know of. If you want to look at pictures, maybe try to get HTC Album. Just do search....

I had this problem before. This should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31402
I used Total Commander for a registry editor.
I tried to install Battarystatus on my wing with Touchflo. It did install but I was not able to see it on my today screen. Everytime I would run the program I would get a message saying I need to enable battarystatus. It never worked. I even installed Homesreen plus plus and at the exe file it would not load. Anyone know what im doing wrong. I have been reading that i should overclock my wing to 247-260 and would love to know how to do it.
Thanks...

Do you have the actual program on your phone, lol? omapclock.exe
you need that in order to overclock. it seems like you have the startup link to the program but you dont have the program on your phone and you have the program to control the speed.
Thanks for trying to help me lol... I downloaded from my phone first and tryied to install it. as soon as i clicked the zipped exe file i would get to the screen that asked to register and notregistered. it said below can't find the omapclock.ink file?? I tryed a few times then I deleted it. I would like to try it again... can you help me? Is it downloadable from my phone or do I need to use my pc? I did it both ways....
This error is driving me crazy.... Thanks again!!!!

its your lucky day, i just uploaded what you need to overclock, enjoy...
almost forgot, be careful when overclocking, you can destroy your phone! if you overclock too high your screen will go CRAZY (you'll find out what im talking about) so its better to open/click the OmapClock.exe file that you just placed in the windows folder and play around with it before you use OmapClockPlus to register the speed you want. TRUST ME
actually it would be best if you make a shortcut of the OmapClock.exe to your startmenu\programs folder so you dont have to open the file explorer to find OmapClock.
Oh... your the man... Thanks bro. I got it. Quick question for ya though. Does this work the same way as battarystatus as far as it running at a lower speed when its in standby to save your battary?
Sorry if there is an answer somewhere already, but I have been looking around for 20 minutes and I'm giving up and posting a thread. I have like five programs that won't uninstall when I go into the settings-->remove programs application. It comes up with a message that says "XXXX was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"
Has anybody had this also? How do I get it completely off my phone/get the memory back?
One more thing, I have a program called "AA AA" and I know for sure that I didn't install a cab with that name, so what the hell is it? I'm a noob with WinMo so sorry if it's simple **** haha.
Thanks in advance

For programs that say they didn't uninstall completely, the method I use to get them out is this:
1) run the cab again, the same one you used to install a/the app in the first place
2) when it gives you option or error dialogs, just click "ok" or "yes" to all of them, to allow it to go through what looks like another complete install process (yes, it's odd, but this is how to do it).
3) when it's done, soft-reset, and then you should find that there's no more trace of the app in your uninstall list.
Don't ask me how/why that works, but I've used it in many instances for just that reason, and it's worked every time I tried it.
As for that "AA AA" app, I've certainly never seen a cab that used that name (fyi, the name in the uninstall list doesn't necessarily match the name of the cab file...only if the person creating it set it up that way). So...I'd just say uninstall it, and see if any apps/links are missing then.
This thread is closest to my problem,so I'm asking here.
I cant uninstall ANY of my programs, I have tried the usual method from the remove programs section in Settings. I get same error as OP.
When that failed I then try to just delete the program folder from program files, using file explorer, but get an error saying 'Access is denied. Be certain the folder isn't in use and not write protected'
At first I thought I had a memory card problem, but its the same regardless of where the program is installed.
I also tried to re-install the programs from their cab files as described above, but get an 'unsuccessful' message.
I cant rename any files anywhere on my device either.
I know a little about write protection, but cant figure out what my problem is or how to fix it.
I hope I explained properly for someone to help.
Thanks.
It looks like that the installer process "wceload.exe" was not correctly quit and is still in the memory. Terminate the process wceload.exe with a task manager and try again.
Thanks ElectronX.
I did a search on my HD2 for the file you mentioned and couldn't find it. I have Duttys task manager installed and after a soft reset, the problem still remains. The task manager is empty of processes when I start the device.
Im sorry that Im a bit clueless to how to achieve what you suggest.
I have discovered that the problem extends beyond removing and installing programs. I cant do anything in file explorer other than open documents. If I want to move, delete, rename any file on the device I get the 'write protected' error message. I cant do it via active sync either..I connected to the computer and could browse my device, but if I tried deleting, moving or renaming, the message said it didn't have permission to do it.
Last resort is a hard reset, but hopefully someone will be able to help.
Use sktools to uninstall when windows fails. Best program ever...
Good luck
Thanks, but I cant install anything on my device...can sktools be run from my computer to fix the device?
Unfortunately not...
Good luck though..
