I have a Wizard (Cingular 8125) and poked around my \Windows folder. I found 11 T9 files for different languages, called T9EnglishLdb for example. I guess I need to keep the english one, but I'd like to remove the other 10 (totals about 800K). They can't be deleted or cut and pasted to another folder (like in my storage card!).
Are these needed in my \windows folder? How can I get 'em out?
Thanks!

You can't and you shouldn't.
These files are part of ROM, so there is no way to get rid of them. There is no reason to do it, since it won't give you additional memory.
This is strange...
I keep my Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder organized with several subfolders (Games, Network, Utilities, Media, etc.). Recently my "Network" folder disappeared.
I figured it wasn't a huge issue -- I thought I must have deleted it accidentally, and it's not a big deal to re-create the shortcuts that were in that folder.
So I go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs in TotalCommander and try to create a new "Network" folder, and I'm told that the folder couldn't be created. The same sort of message I would have gotten if there was already a folder with that name...
On a whim I append "Network" to the address in TC's address bar, and lo and behold, there's my Network folder, complete with shortcuts!
So the folder is still there, but it's hidden -- TotalCommander doesn't see it. File Explorer doesn't see it. Wisbar Advance's Cascading Start Menu doesn't see it.
How did this happen, and how can I fix it? Any ideas?
This is on a Prophet (Dopod 818 Pro) running one of the WM6 variants... PDAViet's 4.0.0.5 Cross, I think. (I've flashed so many over the last few weeks I lose track).
TIA for any help!

you didn't need Total Commander to investigate this. Go back to windows directory/start menu/programs. When the list of programs comes up, scroll until you see the sub folder or program in question. when or if you find it in the program list, simply tap/hold/copy. Go back to windows/start menu and paste or paste shortcut there.
Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread, so I'm assuming it's not in the program list. you said you found the program with the complete sub folder, but it's hidden in the directory. Have you tried tapping on "menu" (lower right)/show all files?
Hi all.
I want to make icons in the program folder for applications that aren't installed on the device, but run off of a memory card. For instance, I run putty from the memory card, as it is a standalone .exe file. It would be easier to go to programs and launch it from there, rather than go to a file explorer, direct it to the memory card, and then click on putty.exe. Just want to save myself some time really. I know it can be done because BackupPIM does it.
Thanks for any advice.
PS I tried searching first, but it was a fairly specific thing and so I couldn't see any results. If you find any, shame me for being a noob, and point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
you go to the exe file that you wan to place in the program menu... then copy it.... then go the program folder and paste it as short cut... I dont know whether this will helps you
Shortcuts are text files with a *.lnk extension that you can place in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder. RESCO Explorer can do this for you (Send to Start Menu as Shortcut) or you can do it manually as explained in the WIKI. Hope this helps.

Make sure if you do it by hand you do it plain text
Here is a tutorial.
Thanks guys that worked absolutely perfectly, just copying the file and pasting the shortcut. It's funny to think that you know so much about Windows Mobile, and then realise you don't know something so simple as this!
This will make a huge difference in my day to day life. It may even mean that my partner can now use TomTom (any more than clicking three buttons and she is annoyed, lol). This question and answer section was a great idea by someone, don't know why it didn't happen sooner.
Cheers! Keep up the good work.
Thanks
You guys are REALLY helping us noobs out allot. This worked like a charm.
One day we might have the "smarts" to do the same for others
By the way, I suggest you create a cab (you can use WinCECabManager) to have the *.lnk installed in your device so that everytime you flash a rom or hard reset you can just intall it.. I create a cab for all programs running from the storage card. one cab and i have all the shortcuts i need in my programs menu
Dear nir36
Can you explain that how we can create a cab of shortcuts the programs stored in mem card
Best regards
Get Quickcab 2.0 (hacking forum). It's pretty self explanatory to use, but when you make the cab, make sure in the name field that you name it 'mycabname.cab'. If you don't put in the extension, it doesn't work (at least not for me, lol).
The easiest way to set up the cab is to put quickcab in your c: folder, then inside that folder copy your start menu from your device. Delete all the links in the start menu you don't need, then just send the individual folders with the links into the \windows\start menu\programs directory shown in quickcab. Select 'no uninstall' so the cab doesn't go into the installed programs list. Having the named folders on your pc makes things much faster. You don't have to create the directory for the cab, and everything's organized properly. Do not create an empty folder in the cab file-this will give you an error, and a stupid command window will open, leaving you very disappointed.
Hi, I really need to get some of my space back on my Verizon Diamond. In the windows directory i've noticed many duplicate files and the original opera cab and other files that are just taking up space. (For example: Theres a folder for rings and then there are copies of the same rings just laying around in the windows directory.) Ive tried using Total commander to delete the extra files and they won't delete. Does anyone know how i can remove these excess files.
Hello,
I'm having a hard time locating the \windows folder to change the audio for my alarm clock? When the device is connected via ActiveSync, the folder should be
"HTC Touch Pro" \windows correct? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT: The only folder I see are Application Data, ConnMgr, My Documents, Documents and Settings and Program Files.
It defaults you to "\My Documents" not "\". You need to go "Up" a level.
Moved to TP general.
EDIT: (Seen as though you edited )
In Windows (not mobile) do you have Show hidden files / folders turned on?

The windows file on my TP is hidden so I have to unhide the hidden files and folders in Explorer on my PC first. Then it is where you said it should be.
