(Q) Removing desktop shortcut arrows on Windows 8 - Windows 8 General

Is there a way to remove the desktop shortcut arrows on windows 8? I used tuneup utilties and it worked fine. But then my Metro apps stopped working

i would not recommend tune up utilities yet..not until a full RC is release..theres a lot missing in this DP version.....but if you google the probelm you should find the registry lines to edit...should be the same...

removing only Pocket IE scroll bars

The registry tweak for pocket internet explorer is great for the 1-Handed Navigation. It would be even better if there were a way to remove the scroll bars from pocket IE, since they're not needed with the 5-way navigation. (Not removing scroll bar throughout the system, just in Pocket IE)
Is there a way to do that?
...
any ideas?
You can't get rid of them in PIE, but you can make them smaller. I used HTCustom to make mine very thin (all ppc menus not just pie).
i installed ver 1.1 but i cant find where to start the program? its not under programs or settings. help!
EDIT: NM i had to use Ver 1.8
works awesome, thanks! also I love the Date and time being in the top taskbar. more screen realestate!

Remove Left Over Icons

Hi
I installed Windows Live Messenger onto my Nike and then decided that I didn't really want the application so i uninstalled them using the Program uninstaller. However after rebooting the Nike I find that still have "blank" icons with the titles for Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live. Does anyone have a way of removing the icons totally? It seems as if the removal program hasn't done it's job correctly.....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
where are the icons in the today screen, tray launch or program files if in program files do this \windows\start menu\ program files and manually delete them. for tray launch and today screen i don't know
if they are in the 'Programs' folder, go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete them there, if in the 'Settings' folder, I have no clue where these are stored. Or alternatively get 'MemMaid' and let it clean up for you

Calc Problem

Hi i have a problem with calc windows mobile application.
I have installed the SpbCalculator skin pack but it not work i have disinstall and now the calc don't appear right and when i try to open say to me that is impossible to open digital sign is impossible find component.
Thank to you.
The icon is still linking to calculator.exe (from spb) in the windows directory, which has been removed because you uninstalled.
Create a new shortcut to windows/MobileCalculator.exe and you should be fine.
calculator.exe --> SPB calculator
MobileCalculator.exe --> default calculator that came pre-installed.

[Q] Simple SPB Pocket Plus alternative?

Hi!
I'm looking for a application that would add program shortcuts to the WM 6.1 home screen. Just 6-10 shortcuts, no tabs needed. Something like HTC Home (not available for my Acer M900) or SPB Pocket Plus (annoying tabs, too many unneeded features).
I tested a few programs like this, but they made too many changes to the start menu.
And it would be cool, it that or another application would allow to quickly change phone profiles (normal/vibrate/silent) either by a programmable button or better by shortcuts on the home screen. in this regard SPB Pocket Plus does not work on my M900.
Please recommend, thanks.

[Q] i780 - WM hang at startup - please help

Hi
I would like to ask You for real help, advise, suggestion what to do.
First of all I know I can make hard reset but it is not a solution for me - more important is data on this mobile than to use it.
Samsung I780, WM 6.5 with HTC TODAY (big clock, six tabs) with tasks, calendar and wireless plugin.
I wanted to add Resco today plugin. Installation without problem . Restart and my phone hangs - loading startup animation, bottom bar with soft keys and nothing else. It hangs in today screen loading moment and phone doesn't respond to anything. Tapping, keyboard, buttons - nothing.
When I'm pushing buttons for example left softkey with shortcut to contacts after restart - they will open, so means that system respond before loading today screen, but then it is loaded in background and system hangs
I tried to restart many times with power button, removing battery.Soft restart with hole on left side. I hoped that after keys combinations Fn + enter + power - to force upgrading state will help, green + red + power to prepare for hard restet will help. After restart it is the same. In all those situations windows 7 x64 mobile center or windows xp x64 active sync, windows xp active sync cannot connect with mobile. In case when I connect it by cabel and I turn phone on activesync is trying to make a connection but after one or two minutes the sync icon is grey and nothing happend. With SD or without - still the same.
I was trying to establish connection PC-mobile by Mirage soft.
Mobile doesn't respond (for sure because of today plugin)
The questions are:
1. is there a key combination to force startup to default theme without loosing data, clear startup without any theme, plugins?
2. is there a possibility to make an autorun file on SD card to overwrite today theme configuration file at startup?
3. is there a possibility to make any batch file which block theme loading or will change theme registry entries?
4. is there a possibility to force connection between mobile and PC to get data without from PC?
5. Do You, HACKING WINDOWS MOBILE GODS, have any idea how to recover data from this mobile ?
If You have any friend, who knows or who has I780, or who has huge knowledge about WM - please show him this post.
Thanks in advance.
Guinnesss
6. any possibility to disable today theme registry entries by autorun from SD ?
