I had a few apps which I uninstalled and now I notice that under Settings -> Buttons
When assigning an app to a key, in the list of apps there is 1 unicode character (the square) . Any help on where the app gets the list of installed applications? Hopefully I can change that to remove the annoying char.
The programs there are whats listed in \windows\Start menu and any subfolders.
Use desktop file explorer or a more advanced explorer on the device like Total Commander to see if there are any strange files in left in those folders.

As I've been installing and removing various software I find that sometimes I'm left with the application listed under the Program drop down menu.
How can I remove these items? The application doesn't exit on my MDA as it's been removed so I don't need these shortcuts .
John
just go to \windows\start menu\programs and edit the shortcut links there.
What do you have to to do make programs appear on the "programs" menu in wm6? I installed a new ROM and have soem apps installed in the storage card that I would like to put back under the programs section.
Thanks in advance
You have to create a shortcut to the app that you want, and then copy it to /windows/start menu/programs

Or, if you have installed "Resco Explorer", tap and hold on the ".exe" file then select "Send to" -> "Start Menu as Shortcut". After add all the shortcuts, soft reset the device and the added shortcuts should go to "Start" -> "Programs", (otherwise, they are staying under "Start").
i have a very easy solution ;-)
(if you know how to do shortcuts on a Windows System)
Open 2 Windows with the explorer. With the one you go to the Mobile-Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/ - Folder
and the other one you go to the directory of your storagecard, where the exe of the program is.
now do it like in Windows.
Right click and Hold the exe-file, and drag&drop it to the other Window with Start-Menu open. And click "Create Shortcut here"
Here's a solution if you don't want to install a third party application or don't have access to activesync
Thanks to mobinauts for this.
i) Open your File Explorer (default application).
ii) Locate the application's .exe file that u wish to create a shortcut for (usually found in its application folder and also usually the most outstanding icon in that folder).
iii) Tap and hold on it and under the sub-menu that appears, tap 'Copy'.
iv) Go to 'My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\' folder.
v) Tap and hold on an empty space and select 'Paste Shortcut'.
vi) U can then rename the shortcut file by doing a tap-and-hold on the file and selecting 'Rename' (e.g. 'Shortcut to Bejeweled.exe.lnk' to just 'Bejeweled.lnk' or just BW.lnk).
vii) Done = u should be able to access your application from the Start>Programs menu.

Ok, i reinstalled a couple of programs, then i get the shortcut in right place, but programs like tomtom i doesn´t want to reinstall i will try your way. But i don´t have resco, any regedit program will work, right ?
Here is the right way to assign a shortcut (and WM6.5 "Bronze" icon) for any program
This can be manually added to the registry or via .REG or .PROVXML
This example is for a standard REG (RGU) unicode text file, and will add a start menu ("bronze") shortcut with anasociated icon for a software called "goleada4.0", which is installed in "Program Files\Alcorcon" (just an example, not a real app, just wahtever came to my mind first )
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\Goleada4.0.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Profgram Files\\Alcorcon\\Goleada4.0.png"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher]
"\\Program Files\\Alcorcon\\Goleada4.0.exe"="\\Program Files\\Alcorcon\\whatever.qtc"
Notice the last line MUST be empty, following the standard .REG / .RGU syntax
Hope this helps
Wow! That's complicated. Why not just use the file explorer on the device, navigate to the .exe, copy and then go to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and paste a shortcut there?
Or you can use the attached programme.
Something that has probably been discussed before:
Is there an app that enables you to customize the WM6.5 start menu without having to move around .lnk files in \Windows\Start Menu via File Explorer?
Hi,
i have htc td2 with wm 6,5 original rom,
after a soft reset, when i tap the start menu , i can not see any icon of programs. list is empty, there is only one icon which is Today icon.
can u help me?
thanks.
Or you try to install Total Commander and goto
\Windows\ directory
See if Startmenu is present, if not create that directory and within it you should see/create;
Program Files
Settings
Know that on all phones 'Settings' is empty!
Now set TC (I have TC set to Show Virtual 2 window Mode) in one screen to
*1 Windows\
and the other screen to
*2 Windows\Startmenu\Program Files\
Then search in TC for .exe to show all executable files..
Then press the little CTRL button below in TC and multiple select your desired programs.. Then goto Menu - File - Create shortcut(s)
Or if the above does not work, a hard reset is all that's left.
Success,
Senax
