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?

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

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.

Hi All
Newb here - I just bought a HTC 710 and was wondering is there anyway of of unlocking the ROM so you can change settings - I have two issues - I cant browse the Windows directory from a PC - that is the main one - second one is I want to change the sound file which is played when the keyboard is slid open
Many thanks
Kp
PS I posted this in the unlocking section before I found this dedicated area - Sorry
I guess you've found this by now but changing the sound when you open / close the keyboard is just in the settings screen. Settings / Sounds i beleive. I set mine to "None" since it would never play without skipping anyway!!
I have no idea about the other problems though - sorry.
How to see the windows directory from your PC(via Active Sync)
Just connect your VOX to your PC, via USB. I am using ActiveSync version 4.5.0. Press the Explore Device(not sure how exactly it sounds in english, I have it in russian). This should show you the files on your mobile device. In the Mobile Device window, at the top chose Service(also not sure how it is in English, it's the fourth one from File, the one befor the last). there chose Folder Properties(the last choise) Then in the tab View at the bottom in the smaller window you should have the choise "show hidden files", choose it. Now when you open My Windows Based Mobile Device, you should see the windows folder.

Ok connect your phone to your computer with either Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1(Windows Vista) or Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5(Windows XP) and then copy the tsk files you downloaded to your phone's Windows Folder using file explorer.
Once you have them copied to that folder, then you should click on the start menu and click settings. From there click personal and then click the Today icon. In that directory you should be able to select the new theme.
Have a look at this forum: http://shadow.myfreeforum.org/
They are specifically for the shadow. The shadow is not a Wizard so that's why my advice isn't helping you.

If the tsk file is now in your phone's windows directroy go to:
Start > Settings > Personal Tab > Today
This will show you the list of themes that are installed. Select the one you want and click OK. It will take a second to change the settings.
using a the computer u can only acces the windows directory on the phon threw windows xp, it dosent work on vista...
Atleast that what I have seen

Shadow is a smart phone i think. I dont think .tsk files will work. You can change the back ground picture, thats about it.
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)
First, im a complete noob. i just stumbled upon this site today and already done to my phone in 3 hours than i even ever done to a phone period and i want to thank you guys.
Secondly, here is my issue. i have the GPS garmin Mobile 5.0 software for my ATT Fuze. the files for the GPS software are all on my storage card as a " all package up file " without need to install or run a cab file. so the only way i currently lauch the GPS tool in by browsing to my SD card to my garmin folder and then launching the garmin.exe. that is too tedious. i want to be able to go to my programs and see my garmin there, but even better, i want to be able to remap my PPT button to launch my GPS but i cant remapp the GPS since its not a part of my installed APPs. so my question is how do i get my GPS to appears an installed app so i can remapp it to a button on the phone?
you can use resco explorer and select the .exe file and then menu->file->send to->Start menu as Shortcut
thank you so much man. is there another app i can use thats free? the resco app is not, i did use it but its a trial software. i wanted something to keep thats free. any ideas anyone? also, i have decided to keep the Official ATT Raphael US_5.11.502.2 Rom. but I LOVE the clock in the EnergyRom 2/3. Is ther anyway i can get it and add it into my ATT official rom?
use file explorer that comes with wm. find the program tap and hold to get the context menu and hit copy, then go to windows > start menu and hit the right soft key to get a menu and go to edit > paste shortcut. rename it to garmin mobile xt if its not already named right.
Thanks Jack. But im afraid I lost you where you say " then go to windows > start menu and hit the right soft key to get a menu and go to edit > paste shortcut." what right soft key are u refering to?
the one that says menu in the bottom right corner of your screen.
Or...
While still in explorer (after copying the exe for Garmin), navigate to the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder. Scroll to the bottom, tap and hold. The context menu that pops up will include "Paset Shortcut". Select that.
You will have an item that says "Shortcut to " and whatever the executable file's name is. You can then tap and hold on the shortcut and select "Rename" and rename it to "Garmin" or somesuch.
thats what i said... just figured it would be a little simpler to hit the softkey than find a spot they would have to find for the context menu.
