Hi,
This question must have a very small answer, that I’m missing:
- How can we remove an icon from Programs folder, if no longer needed?
This is how I got the icon:
1. Installed an application (let's call it "Xpto")
2. Got “Xpto” icon and “Xpto (2)” icon in Start > Programs
3. Since I whant just ONE icon...
4. ... tried to uninstalled the Xpto program and...
5. ... the “Xpto (2)” remains there!
Any ideas on how to get rid of this icon?
Thank You.
Just delete the shortcut in /windows/start menu/programs using File Explorer, or Explore in Activesync.
hi Guys.
i have a problem here with the herald and the quick App select in the HTC HOME.
i can only select apps that are on the programlist. But i have apps on the storage card. i want the exe files to appear in the programlist so i can select them in the quick app menü in HTC HOME.
i tried to make a shortcut from the apps exe an paste it in windows... in windows/programs but it doesnt work.
do i have to edit the registry ? i dont know what i have to add in there.
please help
You need to paste the shortcuts in windows/Start Menu/Prorgrams and whichever folder you want to drop it in or just drop it in that folder and it will work ^_^.
It worked !
THANK YOU !
Update
I have now created a CAB for the script.
It will install a link to the program in Programs under the Start Menu.
IMPORTANT: You need to have MortScript installed. There is a CAB in \Program Files\HideFolder. If you already have MortScript you can delete this CAB.
The new cab is at the end of this post.

Hiding folders from HTC Album has been discussed elsewhere, maybe for different reasons than mine !
When I select 'Storage Card' a list of folders appear that have no interest to me and do not contain any images that are mine.
I have written a script that allows you to Show or Hide folders from HTC Album. I included the ability to 'Show' folders in the event that you may want to temporarily hide a folder but re-enable it at some point.
You need to have Mortscript installed on your device !
Unzip the file and copy to your device.
When you run the script you will be given a choice whether you want to:
1) Show a Folder
2) Hide a Folder
3) Exit the Script
When you select Show or Hide you will then be asked to select the folder.
If you select Show: A previously hidden folder will be enabled (If the folder is not hidden you will get a message informing you of the error)
A confirmation message will be displayed and you are done.
If you select Hide: The selected folder will now be hidden from HTC Album (If the folder is already hidden you wil get a message informing you of the error)
A confirmation message will be displayed and you are done.
I've run the script in as many combinations as I can think of and all seems to work, please let me know if there is something I hae missed.
CAB Now available see above.
Thanks for such a necessary utility, I was actually looking for this for some days now...I needed this... you know to hide some things when your is taken over by some enthusiast who wants to check out everything in it and occasionally press wrong links....
This app. does its work what it supposed to do but I have Resco photo manager installed the hidden folder is visible in this photo manager...is there a way it could be hidden to resco as well.

is this also possible for HTC Music Player ß
I don´t want to see my ringtones and others on the SD card.

I edit the registry to hide the folders. This saves me a lot of work. Simple enough. Thanks

Apologies
Hi All,
I am really sorry that I have not been able to respond to recent requests.
I have some personal stuff going on at the moment which has meant my head has been inserted up an unattractive part of my body.
I am sorting myself out and will try to help where I can in the next few days.
Apologies and thanks in adavnce for your understanding.
Hide more then one folder????
it seems as if i can only hide 1 folder and not multipl folders. How can I hide multiple different folders? When i attempt to do another folder the error always says this folder is already hidden and its not.
Thanks man, nice little app!!
tried on hd2, doesnt work
hi
i have a qeustion, can you do so that music player only finds your music folder on sd cardand not all other music files such as navigation voices.
U can try changing the folder names you want to hide. You just have to add "." In front of the folder name and Android will hide them from searches. Don't know if the prgram, like your navigation, will still fund it or not. There are some programs in the market that help but I just got up and can't think of the names they've been posted before in this forum..

Hey this also works for images
1pen notepad in windows - you dont need to type anything.
2:Go to file menu and Save...
3: In the Save as Type: dropdown select All Files
4: Name file .nomedia (just that - include the dot - no extension)
Copy this file to the topmost folder of any directory you don't want to play music from.
Alternatively: If you have Laputa book reader installed look in the Laputa Books folder on your sim card and each book folder will have one of these files in it - copy it wherever you don't music to be found
nomedia
Also search for "nomedia" app in the market. It will allow you to exclude folders.

Hello guys,
Does anyone know of a file manager app where you can hide unwanted folders ?
for example - when i open the app i find loads of folders created by apps i use i.e go book, go sms, zipper ,gameloft etc
Though these are necessary, i wouldnt wanna access these.I need my folder with songs or themes or roms etc and is tiring to see the extra folders. Hence the post. thanks in advance
ES file explorer (playstore)
Long press folder
select the more key at bottom right (three dots)
scroll to top of menu
you will find the hide option
Thanks
