in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps there are atleast 4 instance of fresh paint, 4 for reddit to go and the same for many apps.
is it happening with you guys too?
for most of the apps, you cant delete them by generic methods, unlocker has to be used.

Here is the way to access the Windows Apps folder (don't thank me - I just copied it from answers.microsoft.com:
Windowsapps folder is where all the Modern apps data is stored. If you install any apps from the Windows Store is also stored in the same location. This folder is not provided full permissions so that if anything wrong happens by mistake, you might face issues with the modern apps.
If you still want to take ownership of the folder, you may try to follow these steps:
a. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.)
b. Enter “CMD” without quotes in the search box, tap or click Apps
c. Touch and hold the Command prompt tile in the search results. Then drag your finger down until the tile is outlined by a solid line. Once it happens release your finger from the screen.
d. Tap or Click Run as administrator.
e. At the command prompt, type “takeown /f <foldername> /r /d y” without quotes and then press ENTER. (Replace <foldername> with the path of the folder).
f. Then, type “icacls <foldername> /grant administrators:F /T” without quotes and hit enter. (Replace <foldername> with the path of the folder).
Using the above mentioned commands, we took the ownership of the folder and then assigned the Administrators group Full Control Permissions for the folder.

whats this for?
I tried to do this but I got an Access Denied error message, on my computer it said that
"I don't have permission to create this file" what can I do?
Is it a matter of pasting this:
<city name="Joplin, MO" loca="64801" land="Missouri"/>
over another city and following the rest of the directions. I tried this, was able to get the city to show up on the list but it is unable to download the weather info?
Device: HTC touch
i can now add a city but then nothing happens. Once I click select it goes back to the main weather screen and thats it the city never gets added.
Thank you,
ed
Nothing? I've been hoping that someone would answer some of the questions in the last few posts.
I am still having the same trouble as above. As soon as I click on the city on the city selection list, it just comes up as no weather data available, but if I click on a city that I didn't have to add, it works just fine. Interestingly enough, this was working just fine before I flashed NFSFAN's newest about 3-4 months ago. I am not sure what is different, but I wonder if I had to edit the registry somehow to make it work, I don't remember now, considering I got it working the first time about 1.5 years ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can't get this working either. I have Windows Mobile 6.1 and have tried everything everyone has suggested. All I am getting is my city in the selection options however if I choose it, it will fail to retrieve the weather data.
Any suggestions?
I am trying to put a shortcut in Start menu on the device while conected via active sync with Windows Mobile Device Centre but the windows folder does not show up. Can someone tell me how to get to windows folder please.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL.......
no one know?
You will need to show all hidden files and folders and all protected OS files on your PC. You can do this in the Organise>Folders and Search options (in windows 7) In Vista i cant remember off hand.
Merry Xmas
I noticed exactly the same thing today! I don't know how to solve this or if it can be solved
But don't worry, you are not the only person. I can only view the windows folder from the device file explorer
I have exactly the same problem. I need access to this folder to do some cleaning up. The chore is too cumbursome on the phone. I really need to know how to access this folder on my computer. Anyone?
Open up file explorer on your pc, and browse to your phones windows folder, then press alt, and a set of menus will appear along the top of the window, click tools - folder options - move to the 'view' tab, scroll down the list and check 'show hidden files folders and drives', then scroll a little further and untick hide protected operating system files.
The phones windows folder should then be visible.

My Savior!!!
Thanks 1.000.000!!!
Ok. so I copied a shortcut of a folder from my SD to the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. The folder contains all my movies, and my plan was to put the folder shortcut from the programs on the quick links on the home page. But i ran into a problem, when i try to open the the shortcut by pressing the windows start button, scrolling to it and click it, it gives me this error message' "the file 'folder shortcut' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its componets cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling tor restoring the file."
Its weird cause when i go to file explorer and follow the path \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and click on the folder shortcut it opens and takes me right to the files. Anyone else encountered this? I spent like 4 hours today with my phone trying different things, and about 3 just now surving the web and here and cant find anything.
I have the TMOUS version of the HD2 and the transformers movies are located on the SD card and i can access them through the Start programs on the home screen. Any help would be appriciated, Im really stuck. Thanks in advanced
links to folders don't work the same.

Thanks for the info samsamuel, exactly what i needed. After reading the link i did some more research, and got it working perfectly. For anyone else intrested here are the steps to get a folder shortcut from your SD card to open in the programs area:
To make a shortcut on the start menu of a folder on the Storage card do these following steps:
1. Open up notepad on your computer
2. type in the command line (no quotes) “35#\Windows\fexplore.exe \Storage Card\’Folder Name’ ”
3. Replace “Folder Name” with the name of the folder in the Storage card you want the short cut to go to.
4. Click “save as” and name the file “whatever you want.lnk” (L lower case not I)
5. Copy The file to your phone, then to “windows\start menu\programs”
6. And your done!
Thanks again for your help

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'
