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.
my settings icon from my start menu on my universal has disapeared!, so when i click on start < settings , (their is no settings) which means i cannot remove programs, amongst other things, i seriously don't want to re-install
(i may have accidently deleted it, )
i think it is just a folder with some short cuts in it and was hoping that someone would be kind enough to browse their universal to windows < start menu < and zip up the settings folder and then email it to me
any help or advise, muchly appreciated
my email address is [email protected]
thanks in advance
cheers

Create an empty folder named "Settings" (no "") in \windows\Start Menu\ and then soft reset.

only thing now is my remove programs shows no installed programs, luckilly they show in pocket mechanics uninstaller, so i'm good to go

Now I can`t re-liberate my shift, was following the old way and instructions, made a total clean, but liberate does not work.
There is no icon under settings...
Any idea? HELP please...
No icon means you didn't copy paste properly> Check your key combinations. What langage is your shift?
Create a new contact, edit it's picture, goes to windows folder, move the selection to the start menu folder (or your equivalent in your language), press ctrl+c, go to the settings folder, get inside it, press ctrl+v. You have a message saying it cannot copy contact. Acknowledge. Follow normal instructions
Hi, the shift`s language is german. I used strg-c and strg-v several times, there was a message "file alread exist", but it is not vissible and no icon inside settings menu. Hm...
You are probably not at the right place when you do this.
The crtl+c must be done in the windows folder, with the start menu selected (warning: start menu is in german, and is not "startup")
You must be in windows\settings when you click ctrl+v
Same problem
I am having the same problem with liberate/lnk file. (can't see it in settings). Read through your instructions but the video description never mentions the settings folder in the start menu for the liberate.lnk file. Are you referring to another process?
Also can't reliberate my shift
I have the following problem.
I Have uninstalled de liberate pack in vista.
And i tried to reinstall the file. but i get the following message:
Installation of Shiftpack.liberate.cab was unsuccessfull.
Can anyone help me.
I have an icon liberate in settingsdir. but it won't install it.
can i customize the Start button on today screen to something like our pc? which can group/put the Programs in the folder, then, we can doggle the folder for all the applications inside the folder. so that, i can have feel folder for Programs, Games, Office Mobile and etc.
you can do that for start menu u need manilla editor or search for ready made soulutiosn
and for programs use any file manager or your pc to manage it by just going to c:\windows\startmenu

What are you using to copy and paste??
You should use file explorer or one of the 3rd party file tools to copy and "Paste Shortcut"
You browse your device to the program directory and copy and the browse to /windows/Start Menu/Programs and either past it there or into the folder of your choice under that ...
You can also do a cut and paste if you just want to move an existing shortcut ..
and just to be sure , we are talking about the "start menu" what you get when you hit the windows key?
Hi,when i hit the window key,i get a list of all the program installed such market place,you tube,email,messenger...
I would like to have igo and solitaire there as well.
on my pc i can't see the folder windows for the htc,so i directly copy and paste from the phone and it doesn't work.

You have to do it ON the phone, and paste shortcut not just paste ...
also if you cannot see the windows folder on your pc, you need to select activesync as your connection type, your phone will show up in your Computer, if your phone is not asking you what type of connection when you plug it in you go to
Settings>connections>USB to PC, and check the bottom box that says "Ask me ......"
It is no different than creating shortcuts on your pc, but it has to be done ON the phone with file explorer or the like ....
I do it alot so I know these steps do work ...

as said above, you should be doing this on the phone, not the pc.
start - file manager - menu - show all files - browse to windows - find solitaire.exe - press and hold - choose 'copy' - scroll back up and click the folder start menu - press and hold blank area of screen - choose 'paste shortcut'
press home hard key, find a blank quicklink, press it, now you should see your shortcut available.
As for why you cant see your windows folder on the PC, , , open up file manager on the PC, browse to your phone - click tools - folder options - change to 'view' tab - scroll down the list and TICK 'show hidden files and folders' and UNTICK 'hide protected operating system files'
