Hi
Is there a registry treak that will allow me to remove an icon from the programs folder,
I recently remove a program from the magican but for some reason the icon is still there, any ideas?
Thankx
You need to soft reset to make the icon disappear. Check with your explorer that the file in the programs folder is really gone first - Windows/StartMenu/Programs

Where is the icon appearing? If it is in the program folder then simply delete it by using explorer \windows\start menu\program.
Hi, have done everything you sugguested,
i even went to the registry and deleted everything that was associated with the program, everything seems to be deleted, the icon that remain isnt the normal icon that is displayed when the program is installed, but rather just a white box with a blue strip across the top with circles and the name of the program under it, if u try to run the program an error notification occurs that the program is missing.
You are descibing what happens when Windows has not updated itself to reflect the deleted program. A soft reset should always force Windows to update. If this is not working for you then try reinstalling the program again and then delete it using the "remove programs" in settings/system then soft reset. If that still does not work then it may indicate that Windows is corrupted and a hard reset may be required.
Wait with hard resetting! You can always navigate to \windows\start menu\programs using file explorer or better total commander and delete the shortcut there. I did the same thing for a orphan shortcut to Egress, which I uninstalled properly from the add/remove menu :?
I want to remove the shortcut 'Services +.lnk' (pointing on: \Windows\STK_UIPPC.exe ) from my Start Menu.
I can remove it, but each time I do a soft key the shortcut is re-created ! how can I avoid this ? I have really no idea what can re-create this shortcut.
I have thiso2 sim icon that does not want to go away. It is in root start menu and if you move it or delete thing will be back after soft reset.
Any ideas as it is a ugly and useless icon?
you need to disable STK service.
Registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\stk_service]
"Keep"=dword:00000000

Thx, added to my main reg changes cab.
Hello,
I would like to remove (or hide) some of the icons that are on the desktop of my MC75A Device.
I know that theses icons can be found in the \windows\start menu\programs but unfortunately they are in 'read-only' mode : I can't remove them.
Could there be another way to hide or remove them ? maybe by using [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start] keys ?
Thanks a lot

Take Resco Explorer or Total Commander or some other more advanced file explorer than default WM Explorer, and remove the read-only flag from shortcuts You need to delete. In Resco for example, just select and hold the shortcut icon, take "Properties" from context menu and uncheck the "Read only" box. After that You can delete them. Unless they are in ROM, which is doubtful, but with MS You never know...
