Hi all,
Due to an oversight, I copied a program named "LVMTOPBAT.EXE" into the start up folder, after soft reset, I can't delete this program from the start up folder. A system message shown that "the program is running".
I have tried to use memmaid to disable this program but in vain.
Any other ways to skip running programs in the start up folder and enter into Today directly?
rename it to exe.old
restart and delete it

Hi all,
I just sucessfully installed big storage on my O2 mini and was wondering how i can change the default directory to which my software installs. The software is Imaginet-arabitizer and it uses a PC-based installation. No cab files...
Help please....
help
you can only whether you want to install a program to a default location, storage or a storage card. it will ask you in the beginning of installation by ActiveSync. choose NO and install sonewhere else.. gl
Still no luck....
Unfortunately, this particular program does not use the active sync user interface for the installation....
Any other methods?
i saw a shareware program on the forums once that did that... wish i downloaded it then cause i cant find it again sorry .. thought id let you know its out there though.....
aidil916 - unless it's some kind of ROM update etc, anything that gets installed on the PPC must always use a cab file, even on PC based install. So, start the install, and does add/remove programs or something come up?
Either way, if it installs something to the PPC (i've no idea how the arabizer works), interrupt the installation or somehow stall it. Then use a program like Filetracer or even the XP search tool to find any cabs installed to your pc in the last few minutes. Track down the cab (usually in your temp folder, programs folder or activesync folder) and then take a backup copy of the cab. Then, copy that to your PPC..
Tell me how it goes.

Usually when you perform PC-based installation software asks you for target location but some programs are hard-coded with "\Program Files\ProgramName" path so they will fail to work if you place them to another locations, i.e. to Storage Card
For programs that don't allow you to change target location you can change their registry entries to correct their path from "\Program Files\" to "\Storage Card\Program Files\". Here you will also need to manually move your program to a new location (SD) using Explorer's copy-&-paste functions
ps: don't use cut-&-paste because some of your programs may be running and this will cause sharing violation errors
Example, I have program "ABC" installed at "\Program Files\ABC" folder.
1) Using Explorer I navigate to "\Program Files" and COPY "ABC" folder to clipboard
2) Now I navigate to "\Storage Card" and create folder "Program Files"
3) I open newly created folder "\Storage Card\Program Files" and PASTE my "ABC" folder from clipboard here
4) Using Registry Editors I search for "\Program Files\ABC" entries and change them to "\Storage Card\Program Files\ABC"
5) I do soft-reset. If after that program works Ok, I delete "\Program Files\ABC"
The software is Imaginet-arabitizer and it uses a PC-based installation. No cab files...

Check your activesync's installation location. You will find the cab file within Software name or company folder, like "C:\program files\microsoft activesync\ABC"

There are 3 methods i use,
1st is download the CAB file if you can, copy to your PPC and install with a program called CAB Install http://www.s-k-tools.com/fp/viewtopic.php?t=44 which allows you to install the app anywhere you want.
2nd is to run the standard ??.exe PC installation file but without your PPC pluged in. After the ??.exe install file is finished it will normally produces a CAB file on your PC which will copy across to your PPC next time you plug it in. All you need to is to find the CAB file and manually copy it to your PPC and use CAB Install.
The 3rd way is to do the same as 2 above and then use an app called WinCE CAB manager which you can generally modify the CAB files standard installation directory to what ever you want to.
Hope this helps
Most software including PC based installs eventually use CAB files. For this I use a small program CabInstl.
Samsung Blackjack
AT&T/Cingular
Just updated the firmware
I am trying to remove links from my start menu for useless util's such as AT&T Mall, AT&T Music and Media net.
I've tried to remove them from the device directly by deleting the files from \Windows\Start Menu\*folder or file name* as well as connecting the device via Active Sync and deleting the same folder\file location through Active Sync file browsing.
When I try to delete the files, I recieve the following error:
"Cannot delete file ****: Access is denied. Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permissions to copy this file type."
I have verified that on applications such as Garmin Navigator and Good Messaging (app's I installed after the firmware upgrade) and I am able to delete, or modify their start menu shortcuts located in \windows\Start Menu folder. This leads me to belive that the issue is not related to sufficient memory, or permissions.
I have found articles by google'ing and they state it is possible to delete these specific files but they won't delete on mine. I tried rebooting several times (some articles noted that rebooting would majically allow deletion of files). No luck.
PLEASE HELP.

Hi,
I accidentally put actual file instead of lnk into StartUp folder on WM 6.1. Now I can not delete the file becouse it's already launched and it's not even showing in list of running programs. How do I get rid of it in StartUp folder?
Thanks,
G
it might be running in the background. try using a task manager kinda program to see running processes (e.g. wktask) and you should be able to kill it and then delete it
or rename it from somethingsomething.exe to somethingsomething.exe.bak
and softreset
Or you can usually cut the link or file in startup and then paste it somewhere else. Reset, then you can delete it.
not if it's not a shortcut but he places the exe file itself in startup in this case it will be locked and cant be cut
Can you rename the file to something not ".exe" and then reset the phone? Would it work? I've read somewhere around here someone suggesting that. After soft reset, in theory, you should be able to delete the file.
I cant figure out how to delete MrIncredibles dialer. I was able to delete the cab, but cant delete the rest
Also, I cant delete everything from QuickMenu, when I push my Start button, it tells me that QuickMenu cant be launced(because I have deleted some of the files, jsut cant find the rest)
OK Two things...
One: If it was cooked into the ROM it usually cannot be uninstalled well.
Two: Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs. Find it on the List and Click Remove.
Thanks for the response!!
I'm not using a cooked rom, I did remove the dialer from "remove programs". I dont know why I didnt do that already .
As for QuickMenu, it isnt in "remove programs" anymore, because I removed it from there a day or 2 earlier. It still left something behind though, becuase it is preventing me from using my original Windows Start menu.
I copied "naviPanel.exe" from Windows folder to Start Menu/Programs folder.
\Now, i want to delete this copied .exe file from the start menu folder.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks
