Remving obselete Today program entries

I have an obselete today program entry that is left over from an old program, does anyone know how to remove it. I cannot remove it from the list of programs displayed in Today by taking out the tick from the menu list as when I try to remove the tick I get a message saying "start menu - unable to move that item"
Any ideas please?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311268&highlight=today+item+registry

Sorry, I'm a newbie to mobiles, how do I get at the plugins, the entry doesn't show in the list of installed programs
Thanks

This is usually what I do as a newbie. Re-install the OLD application related to the Today Plug-In that was left lingering in your Today Screen. This time you can UNINSTALL it correctly by UNTICKING the box for the plug-in found at Start>Settings>Today>Plug-in. After doing this, you can now safely UNINSTALL the application and hopefully the plug-in won't be left behind.

this was the part you should read
"Otherwise get a registry editor and delete the relevant key under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\[item name]"
you get to it by using a registry editor like total commander

I don't appear to have a 'plugins' tab in Start>Settings>Today>. So I guess I am going to have to go down the registry editing route, but this worries me somewhat in case it goes pear shaped

'plugins' should be 'items' not 'plugins''s

Thanks for the correction, the entry concerned does not show in the items list

then i have absolutely no idea what you are asking
in today->items
all today items shown on the today screen should be located
unless it's not a true today item and is a program which is started from
\windows\startup
and if you mean icons in programs
or shortcuts to programs in programs in a launcher you can
1 remove the icon from programs in windows\startmenu\programs\
and if it's in a launcher today item you have to use the functionality of that launcher

Rudegar
When I tap Start the icon appears in the list of things like calendar and call register, but it is an empty icon that just displays an empty box and the name 'copilot'. If I then go to start, settings, menus I can again see it in the list of programs in the start menu, but it wont let me remove the tick to take it out of the list.I just get a message saying 'unable to move that item'

You need to connect your phone through activesync. Then go into windows > Programs and delete the program icon in there. Once you do that, it will not show up on the start drop down list.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I was unable to get at it except by file explorer/windows/startmenu, but deleting the file in there did the trick. The problem was that the icon remained even after the program was uninstalled. Problem now solved... thanks to all your help

Actually, maevro has the right idea, but he gave you the wrong direction to follow. I hope you don't mind if I correct it a little bit.
OK, I assume you already UNINSTALLED this said application a long time ago, right? What happened was an icon was left at these 2 locations:
1) Windows>Start Menu>Programs>(or it could have created its own folder)
2) Windows>Start Menu
Let me explain it as simply as I can. All icons you see in Windows>Start Menu will appear avery time you PRESS/TAP the START windows icon/button. It has a maximum limit (on my device) of 7 applications to show. You can control what is in there using START>SETTINGS>MENU application, BUT since there is also another icon present probably in Windows>Start Menu>Programs it won't let you move it out of that folder.
SO THE SOLUTION:
Delete the said icons on the folowing locations:
1) Windows>Start Menu>Programs>(or it could have created its own folder)
2) Windows>Start Menu
Don't worry if you can't find the icon in list number 1. You can manually delete it using a powerful file manager like RESCO EXPLORER (not free) or TOTAL COMMANDER (free) or use what maevro suggested and attach it via USB and use active sync.
I hope this helps.

Yes and you didn't even manage to do THAT right since you didnt include the IPHONE mod pack thats needed.
To anyone that actually wants to TRY this, the article I posted has links to all the software as well as two methods you can use to accomplish it including one method that doesn't required that you use PIRATED software to accomplish it.

fllllllllllllllllamed lol

Thanks Cujo, you rock man! (just kidding...)

How do you do it again?
/search

how do you do what

I dont think he's realized he totally ripped someone's work off... =P

cujo316 needs to be banned or at least banned from posting for a couple of months so he can read up, learn some things, and quit being an idiotic thief.

I'm being serious though, he honestly hasn't realized it.

I was being sarcastic. It's pretty simple. If you're on this forum, you aren't here by accident. And you're other places as well. I'm suprised someone else hasn't tried to take credit for the iMDA.
If you're going to steal the work, at least get the topic spelling correct. Jeez.

I got this running the hard way...works nice.
I ran into one issue. my mail works, but I can no longer tell which account I am in. it used to put the mailbox name in the title menu, and now it show "inbox" no matter what account I am in.
does anyone know how to fix that?

Maybe it's a nice idea to implement all these steps into a pre-cooked ROM? Anybody who can do this with a clean WM6-rom for example?

well AMAZING
trying now, it says i should have a my midlet folder under my documents but i dont have such a folder. hmm

cool keep us updated

wow. thats a lot of work. my rom is pretty slow coz it has a memory leak and so i thought I would try this on before i reflashed the phone to a different rom. it takes me on average, 25 to 40 seconds to access my windows folder. setting up the applications was a pain. is there any way someone could make a cab file or an installer of this? it would make everyones life a loooot easier. excellent mod though. who needs an iPhone? the wizard rocks!!!

How to add FLVPlayer.exe in default program list

I have the above program FLVPlayer.exe with some *.flv files.
*.flv files now is defaulted to open with windows media player in the properties.
I need to change the default program to open *.flv to FLVPlayer.exe. However this program is not listed in the Default Program List. I have been trying for the past 5 hours how to get this done.
When trying to set default program to run *.flv, since FLVPlayer.exe is not inside the Default Program list, I go manually browse to the FLVPlayer location. But when I selected the file from this location, Windows does not seems to pick it up.
I need to know what is the trick to add any .exe program into Default Program list.
Can anyone help me out..
Thanks.

you need to tap and hold on the .exe file and select copy
then go to windows/startmenu/programs
and the click on the right soft key (should say EDIT)
then tap paste shortcut
then tap and hold the shortcut and tap rename then rename to desired name then you should now see it listed alphabtically i the start > programs path

Hi JayJay,
Thanks for your quick reply. I already have the file in my Start > Program Path.
What I am not able to do is to set *.flv file to automatically open up with Flvplayer. Fyi, I am using Windows Vista and how i am doing it is via
Control Panel>Default Program > Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
My problem is i am not able to get the FLVplayer.exe into the Default Program list from which I can select the .exe for file association.
When I go to Control Panel> Default Program > Set Default Program, Vista will do search, but somehow it cannot find the .exe .
I tried following your suggestion to drop the .exe into control panel > Default program, but when i do OPEN the folder, I cannot paste the .exe in.
Appreciate if you have any more suggestion.

it may be program wont allow thid, maybe if you cinract the reator theg can help

Adobe Media Player
Hi
I had Adobe's media player installed and that played FLV files pretty well. It's on their website.

Help removing a program

I know at least one of you have installed a program before on your Smartphone that wasn't able to be found in the "Remove Programs" option under settings.
I'm havin' this problem with a program called "TopOCR-Mobile LE."
It was an .exe file that had to be installed on the device. So I did, and now I can't seem to remove it. I deleted the .exe under program files, but the blank icons still remain (there's two of them 'cause I thought I could be smart and run the .exe twice and it'd ask if I would want to remove the program; it didn't - instead it just installed it TWICE).
Is there a way to remove those icons? I already used Regedit's and Total Commander's search features, but I couldn't find any files with the name "topocr" or "mtopocr" (it's installation name).
What are my options (besides throwing my Kaiser against the wall or hard resetting)?

Where exactly do you see those blank icons that you are talking about

programs icons are located in
\windows\start menu\programs
it it's a program which auto start then
\windows\startup

Copy/Paste Application

Hello,
first time posting So forgive any silly questions or any repeated ones.
But my question is this:
I got my mom's old HTC Touch HD. I have copied and pasted some applications from the storage card and then did a hard reset. I then copied some applications back to my program files:
*) closeApps, clear temp, etc.
*) Resco Brain Games
*) HD Tweak
Now these programs actually work if I go through the file explorer. But I would like to 'add' these application to the start menu shortcuts. But they do not show up on the 'all programs'. And I understand the concept of it. similar to when you 'install' something on your computer as opposed to simply unzip something and run it. I believe it has something to do with registry entries or rather lack thereof.
So... How do I get these applications to show up on 'All programs' or at the very least on the 'shortcut' menu (when you click the start button).
let me know if i have not been very clear.

2 ways.
1) Find the cab and just run install them. Most of what you listed is freeware.
2a) Find the program's exe in \Program Files\
2b) "Right click" and choose Copy
2c) Browse to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\
2d) "Right click" and choose Paste Shortcut.
2e) Rename the shortcut.
