Removing icon under program
Hi
this is how you do it:
Windows>start menu>Programs
and then find the list of all the lnk in that folder.

I want to create a shortcut that can launch the programs menu like I can when I tap on start, programs. If I create a simple programs shortcut launching it will open the file explorer with small icons instead I want large icons like those I see when I tap on start, programs. I will be grateful if anyone can help me
Two possible solutions:
1) Search on the forum for quickmenu, this program launches programs when you tap on start; but no big icons...
2) Mortbuttons (LINK) i think the pics are self explanatory...and yes customizable big icons...
Mortbutton is the best IMO...
Create a shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\, from the file "folderview.exe" located in the Windows directory. Then you can set a button to the shortcut.
After I remove a program it is still in my program screen with a white folder as the icon. Can I get rid of those?
browse to Windows\Start Menu\Programs... delete the shortcut from there.
or install ClearTemp:

Awesome, it was under the programs area. Thanks so much
Dear all
I have a HD2, and I have installed energy ROM.
Microsoft apps shortcut tasks and calendar are in windows\start menu\office mobile folder
Contact shortcut instead is placed on windows\start menu folder
Questions:
1. if (using file explorer) I move calendar and tasks up one directory (e.g. in windows\start menu) they LOSE THEIR ICON. Their original icon is replaced by window logo flag-style icon (white flag in background with 4 squares of window logo).
2. I use Resco File explorer to copy links onto the main page for quicker access: if I add these 3 programs (selecting from their folder: calendar, tasks and contacts, they are replaced with the above mentioned logo-icon. They work! I mean if I click the first logo-icon I can get CONTACTS...obviously it would be better if I can also see the original contacts-icon...
3. How to restore original icons?
I attach 2 screenshots which are self-explanatory.
Thanks
Saulo
i forgot to mention that I have tried shortcut recreator 2.3, but it too complicated for me to understand...
Thanks and waiting for your kind suggestions
Saulo
nobody can help?
Am I the only person to experience the loss of icon for standard programs like contacts, tasks, calendar?
Thanks and waiting
in other words I need to re-created default icons.
If somebody has ideas I will appreciate
Thanks
Saulo
Where do add-on apps I install store there shortcut pictures? I have one app who's quicklink picture looks way old and out of place, but I can't seem to find the picture on my phone so I can change it and make it look more modern.
Anyone know?
well, to answer you question, i don't know where they are stored.
but to change them, i use Change Start Menu Icon. works perfectly and does the grunt work for ya.
cheers.
I found the problem. The app is hard coded the start menu icon into it's code somewhere (like exe files on your pc sometimes do).
Anyway, I found where programs point to their start menu icons in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ProgramName.lnk
This app didn't have a Icon entry like some of the others, so I added one and pointed it to a Icon.png file I had made for it and placed in the same directory the program was installed in.
Powered off the phone and then back on and it's using the new icon.
The only problem I'm having now is making a png file with transparency that works as a start menu icon in sense quicklinks. The icon has it's transparency in the windows start menu and when I click to add a quicklink in the program list. But once added to the homepage quicklinks, the transparency section is visible. I don't understand it. viewing it in the HTC's picture viewer also correctly handles the transparent part.
Anyone have any ideas? Here's three screens showing what I mean. The WM screen, the add-program-to-quicklinks screen and the Sense home screen (running CHT 1.7.1):
BTW, here's the icon image if anyone want to take a look.

delete finch.png file: Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\finch.png
Change icon. Add Quicklink!! OK?
There's no finch.png in that directory. There is a program launch file "FinchSync_SP.bmg" in that directory.
The actual program and icon file are stored on my storage card at
\Storage Card\Program Files\FinchSyncSP
album.cache
finch.png
finchconfig.txt
FinchSync_Core.dll
FinchSync_SP.exe
InTheHand.Interop.dll
InTheHand.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.dll
syncinfo.txt
The default install of FinchSync has the program's icon hard coded, not a separate icon (png) file. If I delete the finch.png file, after a power cycle it goes back to using the default hard coded icon. Put the icon back and it does as I posted above, showing transparency everywhere except as a Quicklink. I've tried renaming the filename and then changing the reg entry outlined above to the new name and same thing.
FinchSynch is an older WM app, but I use it because I can sync my contacts and calendar with Mozilla Thunderbird, Calendar and Address book. I do not have or use Outlook to sync too, so I use FinchSync for this.
I found it. It's not a png file from that directory, but the bmg file.
So it was Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\finch.bmg
Once I deleted that, it picked up the new icon with transparency.
