Is it possible to create folders in the programs menu? like NATF has done? or as you would have on your PC - for e.g. Media, Internet, Tools etc etc?
many thanks
Yes you can, using a file explorer program (Resco, Total Commander, etc) navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and create away!
nice! cheers buddy
ok got resco, but how do i move files etc into created folders?
anyoen able to kindly give me an example of how this works please?
Hold your stylus on the file name. This will pop up another menu, including Copy, Move, etc.

My start menu settings are gone (e.g. windows media players, contacts etc). How can i bring them back?
Takes quite a bit of effort:
Use gsfinder, go to Windows folder, copy all the .lnk files into the start menu and then rename them.
Otherwise, if you can't find the .lnk file for app you want, find the app itself (eg tmail.exe for the inbox), choose Copy in gsfinder, navigate to start menu and then choose Paste Shortcut.
Easier way would be to get someone to send you a copy of their startmenu folder (I'm afraid I don't have one in a good format, so can't help you).
Alternatively, backup your PocketPC, hard reset the system, and then restore your pocketpc but DON'T restore your Windows>Startmenu folder.
Then, everything will be back to normal, except you will have the Original Start Menu in place.

I notice that the Windows folder is hidden somehow -- is there a way to unhide it or get access to it?
Thanks!
Hmm what file explorer app are you using? On file explorer i can see it and on resco i can see it.
These will help you........
Total Commander

Resco Explorer

Sync your phone with your computer and navigate to it. I dont remember if by default window's is always hidden, but under view options you can display hidden files and folders.
I was writing an email using Pocket Outlook and wanted to attach a file but there seems to be no way to navigate to the file using Pocket Outlook. All it offers are folders. It doesn't seem to allow me to navigate to subfolders.
Is there a way to make this possible or has it been overlooked?
The weird thing is that attaching images allows me to navigate the subfolders. It is just attaching normal files where navigating subfolders is disallowed. Really strange descision.
I usually use resco explorer, select the file and select send via mms/email, it's easier, faster.
There's also a replacement for the default (ridiculous)file picker, you may try to look for that.

I was looking for a replacement, but couldn't find it.
Using resco explorer, is it possible to sende multiple files attached in 1 email?
I tried selecting multiples files and then send via mms/email but nothing happened, but resco has built-in support for compressing files, so, just compress them and send the archive.
I ran the ClearTemp software and it deleted the .lnk file or whatever it's called for my Outlook Contacts icon. So, I can no longer get into my Outlook Contacts. The icon for Outlook Contacts is gone both in the programs and the Start Menu. How do I get the file back, or create a new file? Where are these files located on the phone? They don't show file extenstions with File Explorer, so it makes it really hard to find anything. I can't even find a search feature to search for files. Thank you for your help and time.
If you did this, it's easy to find this.
Edit: BTW, you need TotalCommander.
Thanks for the information, but I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to do. It's very confusing. I just create a text file called anything I want, like outlook.lnk and I just put "poutlook.exe" in that text file? Then what folder does that file go into? Does it matter? How do I get a link on my, "Programs" desktop to it? I'm really confused. Thanks.

Just look in your windows folder with active sync. Organize by file type, and scroll to the .lnk files. That's where you'll find it, although it may have a different name (check initflashfiles.dat if the naming is weird). Copy to the start menu and rename if needed.
Hello, I like to take photos and videos using my Note PRO 12.2 However, it has happened a few times that when I showed people photos/videos in Gallary, those that I did not want to show also showed up. What is the best way to hide these videos/photos? I am using an un-rooted device. Thanks.
Rename those files (or folder containing them) to start with "."
They should not show up on your gallery.

Create a new empty file and name it ".nomedia" without the quotes. It will hide any media in the folder that you place it from any gallery/media app.
Thanks. In the case of putting confidential photos and videos in the folder called .nomedia , how do I view those files?
I guess the above approach is very good if everything is in one folder. If I organize the files into folders like "Summer trip to the US", "winter 2014", "school", "research", etc., it may be a bit inconvenience to move selected files from each folder to one big .nomedia folder or create one such folder inside each bigger folders.
Alternatively, is there a good photos/videos viewer that allows me to drag and drop files or folder to it so that they are perhaps password protected?
Try Quickpic. Under its settings there is a browse menu where you can exclude certain folders.

You're mistaking two things for eachother.
A .nomedia file is a file. You can find one, for example, in the Android folder. It excludes the content of the folder it is located in, as well as any subfolders, from the MediaScanner/Indexing Service process. (Thus the solution for excessive Media battery usage). This excludes the files from the gallery, no matter the gallery setting.
Renaming a folder with .[foldername] does not require it to be called NoMedia, you can call it anything you want. This excludes the folder from apps that have the settings 'exclude folders starting with .' to hide the folder. Meaning you can also show the folders if you want.
Folders with a .nomedia file in it will not show up in the gallery or mediaviewer, but the files can still be opened the normal way from a file explorer.
I've excluded all folders with media in it except for the Alarms, Ringtones and Notifications folders (or the alarm/ringtone won't go off), and opening videos, pdf's and images is done by simply opening the file through a file explorer.
Basically, you can either make a .[foldername] folder and drop them all in there, or make a regular folder, drop all the images in there and copy a .nomedia file into it. The effect will be the same, except that you can choose to show or hide them if you use a .[folder]. .nomedia can not be disabled in the regular gallery. (It can in Quickpic.)
