Please Help!! - General Topics

I have tried to do everything....I have run different spyware programs and tried to manually do it and I am pretty efficient with computers so I don't know what to do anymore! I have an empty folder icon on my desktop that won't disappear! I try to right click and delete it....no option to. I try to create a shortcut...it won't create...I try to move it to a different folder...won't work! It is an empty folder with no name on it. I have Windows Vista. Can anyone please help??

Some programs create a shortcut for its own use. What info comes up under properties?
I have Vista as well, and it is HORRIBLE! I find crap like this too.

Nothing! It does not allow or show any properties. When I right click on it, it says "Open, Explore, "Create shortcut", and it does not allow me to do any of them and then when I open it, it opens a blank folder and closes it.
It originally was from a ZDelete can which would not be removed off of my desktop (even after uninstallation, then reinstallation, and uninstallation again); so I went to the registry and searched for all traces of zdelete and deleted it which left me with this empty folder.
I'm just stuck....

I don't know what I did but it works now!!!! Thanks y'all . I love this board and appreciate all the help!

Uninstalling Intellipad

Hi all, just did a search on the forums, and didn't see anything. So here goes. How do you uninstall intellipad? It doesnt appear in the remove programs bit...does it need doing manually, if so...how would one go about doing thins?
if it start automaticly then looking in windows\startup or what ever that dir is for the shortcut to the program and remove the shortcut and
then remove the files and reg'd it use would be the same thing as what remove programs does
you could also look in the pc activesync's add remove programs if it was installed using activesync
Couldnt find anything to do with it in shortcuts. I think all the program files are residing in the windows directory. Does anyone know which keys from the registry, would rather know for sure rather than guessing?
looking in Windows Directory and there's a lot of file IntelliPad.***
Yes I have seen the intellipad files there, its the registry keys im not sure of.

Error message with shortcuts re: .lnks files

I am looking for some help with "shortcuts" or ".lnk" files
I am using a HTC Tilt 8925 with WM6, but I think this may be a more universal issue.
I went into Windows > StartMenu and added several new folders, and then moved the .lnks formed from program installations into those folders.
For instance, folder "Refererence" now hold Dictionary, Lexipedia, Thesaurus, etc.
All was OK for a while, but then I started to get error messages about 2 application .lnks that I had moved into a subfolder. The funny thing is, the links actually work! It's just that randomly, I get a WM6 message that there is a problem with " Programs > XXX > AAA "
Does anyone know how to make a "new" link, to replace these old links? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and then moving those 2 .lnks, again, to the subfolder where I want it to be, but it happened again!
Thanks for any and all ideas!
PS: I have SK Tools installed; I thought there was a shortcut tool, but I cannot find it
Go into Program Files then whatever application you want the shorcut for. Copy the exe file then navigate to wherever you want the shortcut and paste shortcut. Rename the shorcut to whatever you want and the link is done!
Having said that if your shortcuts work sometimes but not others I cant see how it is a problem with the actual shortcut. You may need help here from someone more experienced than me.

Hi, having some problems with my Touch Pro

Please bear with me, as this is my first windows mobile phone and I'm not all too familiar with it.
First problem is, tapping "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab does not work. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the Opera browser was not installed on my device! Now, as far as I know, it should come already in all devices. So, I downloaded the Opera 9.5 browser off their website. How can I set it up so when I tap "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab, Opera 9.5 will automatically run? Currently tapping it still does nothing.
Second is, I've been hearing about this "Windows" folder in the HTC Touch Pro. I can't seem to locate this. When I browse for it with my computer, the name of the TP's "hard drive" is "\", and then I see the following folders:
Application Data, ConnMgr, Content, Documents and Settings, Music, My Documents, Program Files, cemail (hidden file), pim
Is this root folder the "Windows" folder?
Third thing is, in the "Programs" tab in TF3D, there's this icon there that when I press (looks like the default icon for a folder in Vista), it gives me an error. It says "The file 'wt5jetpr' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
There we go, that's all. Thank you, if you've read this far.
I can't help with the Opera thing but as for your Windows folder, it's a system file and hidden. You will have to unhide it in your Vista/XP operating system before you can see it using your PC>
You see, I already enabled the viewing of hidden folders. There aren't any other items other than the ones I listed.
EDIT: I tried creating a folder called "Windows" and Vista tells me I can't, because a folder of the same name already exists.
That's weird.. hidden folders are already enabled and I still can't see it.
Hiya, i'm a bit of a noob myselft with regards to wm6.1 so for the opera issue i dont think i could be much help with that same with the file that wont delete so i hope someone else will answer that, to see ur windows folder though when the phone is connected to the pc open up explorer on ur pc and click on tools/folder options then click on view and make sure either the "hide protected operating system files" box is unchecked &/or the "show hidden system files box is checked and this should let you see the windows folder.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: looks like someone already answered in the time it took me to type that, my own fault for multitasking ...

Same thing as you, when I browse to the device from Windows Explorer.
However, if I go to Tools - Folder Options - View tab and I select "Show hidden files and folders", the Windows directory is displayed.

By the name, it looks like it is JetCet Print 5.
Strange you have these errors. Do you use a custom ROM?
PS: been too slow to answer too. but at least the answers match ;-)
I'm not using a custom rom =\. The rom came with my device.
It's:
1.90.405.1.WWE
It's a HTC Touch Pro T7272
Then I advise you to do a Hard Reset. Opera and JetCet print should be there, and should not give you any certificate errors.
I advise you to read a lot these forums, gather as much info as you can, and experimenting with your device. You have a powerhouse in your hands, you know? you have unlimited possibilities. Any questions should you have must be asked.
Alright, I'll give that a try tomorrow after the day's gone so I have lots of time to figure things out.
Sorry for the double post, but I figure this message won't get read if I simply edit my last post.
Anyways, I hard resetted the device and I got Opera and that printing program working! Thanks creiz.
Just one last thing I'm trying to figure out.. is there any way I can get a custom alarm ring tone without downloading a program? (I'm trying to avoid having to do that if possible)

Can someone please help me out with this...

Ok so I flash many roms. I love them all and can never find one that I want to keep...lol
I think we are all like this some times
well one thing I hate is when I load a fresh rom up everything is so clean in the programs folder. Then i load, on average, 2-3 games, and another 2-3 programs to the rom to top it off and make it my own. Then I go into the programs folder and everything is all clutter f.... well you know.
There are new folders every once in a while, and all the programs just sitting int he "PROGRAMS" folder. I want to be able to sort everything out and place the icon for each program into the correct folder in the PROGRAMS folder.
How do I do this? THanks
go into your my device section, then go into windows, then into startmenu. You'll have all of your folders and programs there. Move them around as you wish.
Hope that helps

no sorry didint
any other help?
Use a file manager -- Total Commander works good -- and browse to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. From there you'll have all the shortcuts and you can create new folders and/or move the shortcuts as you see fit.
One thing I would recommend is using Sashimi. It has the ability to automate installation of applications and it also can move shortcuts so you don't have to do all this manually.

how to get off from Windows directory

Hi everyone,
I tried to replace Agenda One by the WM one's, so I tried to search the default calendar parameter.
As I entered in Windows directory, my polaris tried to read all items inside, but it seems to be too fat and my phone blocks by reading items of the folder continuously.
I can only turn it off but when i retry to explore other folders, it first try to read that, so as I can't explore anything but this folder.
Do you think of any tip that can help me?
Thanks
Aurelien.
Just wait it out...
Or do a hard reset and it will be quick again
