Is there any app that will allow you to take a shortcut and put it in a folder?
Like put Ramcleaner into tools folder or bing into Internet folder?
Thank you
there are several, and the one on your phone is called file explorer ..
/windows/start menu/programs
move them around how ever you want, via cut and paste ...
Or
connect to your PC via active sync goto the root of your phone then
/windows/start menu/programs , move things around create folders what ever you want ...
(sometimes the windows folder can take a while to load)
Remember any quicklinks may have to be updated if you move the shortcut ...
Thank you it was that easy!

hi,
I am having problem deleting an icon from the promgrams section of o2 XDA2.
I downloaded one program and later deleted the program through romeove program. The actual program has been deleted but has left behind an icon on the programs list. I cannot figure out a way how to delete it. Can anyone help

Deleting items in program list
Look in "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" - they are all there.
use explore or what ever file browsing tool that you use to get your kicks
go into the dir called windows
go into the dir called start menu
go into the dir called programs or something like that
it's just like on a pc
Use File Explorer. Go to \Windows then \Start Menu. Open \Programs and do whatever you want.
I installed TomTom any want it to go into the GPS FOLDER, how the HELL do i get it there?!?!?!
Well I just use file explorer to move or make shortcuts, depending on what you want to do you either select the exe file in file explorer, then go edit copy. Go to the folder where you want the shortcut then go edit paste shortcut. If you want to move a shortcut you just cut it and paste it into the desired folder.
There also is a nice app called reSTART that you could use to move shortcuts.
Is it possible to make a shortcut to the Games Folder (or any other folder) as a Quick Launch button on the today screen? I have several games and it would take up too many Quick Launch slots so just using one slot to the Games folder would be great.

You'll have to create the shortcut yourself using the file explorer (copy and 'paste shortcut'). Once you have the shortcut placed in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder you should be able to add it to the home screen.
In case you didn't know the Games folder itself is located in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs
Thank you profahmad. I'm new to Windows Mobile so I'm still learning.
I tried your tip and now I could add the Games folder to the quick links. Unfortunately I thought it would open upp the Games folder like it looks in the Start menu. Instead Resco Eplorer opened the folder. Well well... no biggie.
Interestingly enough when I tried the same thing with another folder called "Shoutcast" on my storage card (contains pls-files to Internet Radio channels) I could add the folder to the Quicklink but I couldn't open it.
Anyway... thanks for the help
I don't think it's possible to force the Start menu itself to open a particular folder directly. You'll have to stick with the default file-explorer you have associated with the folders, in your case that would be the Resco Explorer.

That's strange, did you create a shotcut and paste it into /Windows/Programs? I just tested it with a folder on my storage card and it works perfectly. You may have copied and pasted (and not pasted a shortcut) by accident. Try it again.

Aah you're right, Start Menu can't be forced so that's the best we can do at the moment.
Hi all, I'm a noob to the Hd2 and liking it very much, certainly beats my old Nokia n95. I'm trying to do these 2 things listed below:
Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files
and
Enable NaviPanel Without Owning the Car Kit/Navigation Dock
Go to Windows folder and copy NaviPanel.exe as a shortcut to Windows\Start Menu folder.
I've hooked the phone upto the computer using sync and got show all files/folders hidden and system, and have found all 3 exe files, but after i have right clicked on them and copied them, when i go to paste them into the windows\start menu folder, I get an error and it won't let me put anything in there.
Is there a setting i am missing somewhere?
I'm on T-Mobile in the U.K and with stock rom.
Thanks in advance for any reply and help

do it from within the phone, not from the pc.
browse to it in file manager, press and hold, copy, browse to games folder, press and hold,emty area choose paste as shortcut
cheers for that.
how did you find the hidden files? I, for the life of me, cant figure it out. I have resco explorer btw.
I installed a program in the storage card, but nowhere I can find the program icon. So everytime I have to open file explorer to run the exe file. How to make a quick link so it can be shown in the quick link tabs? When I tried to add, it's not listed in the programs to choose.
Also, when I install games, the shortcuts either be under start UI or under start\games. I want to move the games shortcuts in start to start/games, how can I do it?
Thanks.
Just copy the .exe (using explorer) and paste a shortcut to Windows/Start Menu/Programs for your apps or Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games for your games.
