Since there is so much bloatware loaded into ROMs, it would be great to make a list of files that are safe to delete after an upgrade, I think most users (myself included) carry around a bunch of junk they never use just because they don't know where to delete it or are afraid to... anyone wanna start a list of folders and files you can clean out? List any files you delete and any known issues with deleting them (ie if you delete contact.gif, x will happen when a call comes in)
My Documents/My Pictures has photos you don't need.
SystemHeap in the root directory is from Sprite backup, I usually delete it
Garmin QUE: you can simply load the detail basemap on the storage card, and remove the 5MB lite basemap in your main memory
Zagat2GO: You can edit your registry and move the entire program and guides to the storage card, just search the reg and replace Program Files with Storage card under each Zagat listing.... you may have to recreate the shortcut.
What about in the Windows directory? There has to be a bunch of "extras" not needed...
We definately need 'nLite' for these ROMS!!

I am trying to map the left soft key on the Today screen to Messaging, but I am having problems. I changed the registry setting of HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = to "\Windows\Messaging.lnk\" since I can't find the Messaging.exe file. However, when I click it, I get an error that says "The file " cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If this problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
When I click directly on the Messaging.lnk file in the Windows directory (using Total Commander), it opens Messaging, so I'm not sure what the problem is, and when I map the key to .exe files, it works fine. Can I just not map to a .lnk file? If not, does anyone know where Messaging.exe is?
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Maybe you should remove the last "\" in the string "\Windows\Messaging.lnk"...
Thanks - tried that. Also tried with and without quotes and with adding a %1. No dice.
EDIT: Found it with help from a great mod (PerfAlbion) at pdaphonehome.com: Messaging in \Windows = tmail.exe.

Have you seen the button under the right softkey button?
well there's no messaging.exe file, the file is called tmail.exe
"\Windows\tmail.exe"
if you want to map it so it opens a new Text message rename the attached file to newsms.lnk and copy the file to your windows directory and map the key to it
hope that helped

Thanks! Any way to make it open a new email message?
yes. create a copy of the newsms.lnk and rename it to whatever u want (maybe newemail.lnk) and edit it to the following
tmail.exe -service "ActiveSync" -to ""

I would also add that if you have a personal POP3 email set up (eg "Cox Email" or whatever you have named this account on your phone), you can edit it to the following;
tmail.exe -service "Cox Email" -to ""
You can also make direct links to your email InBox;
tmail.exe -service "Cox Email" -Inbox ""
Thanks much, everyone.
EDIT: Do I have to change the "28" if I change the script? I read that that number refers to the number of characters in the string.

No, it doesn't seem so, I tried it with "28" in all cases and it still worked fine.
Since I spent an hour or two trying to figure this out today hopefully someone else can use it too.
To get directly to your Windows Live email inbox
Create .lnk on pc with notepad and copy directly to device

I'm running WM6 on a verizon samsung sch i760 i have tried to use a remap softkey app, tried editing it myself and still can't get the right softkey to change i just want it to open my PocketCM app. Nothing. Any help is helpful.
Thanks
hey guys, how would i edit this so that i can link straight to a specific SMS folder?
guys.. U can try this site by Vicot..
http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=KeySwop&platform=ppc
I'm using it and it works like a charm...
there are other great cabs in the site also..
however, when using Clear Temp Express, pay attention to the prompt.
I had re-assigned my left soft keys to New SMS.lnk.
Clear Temp express tends to ask if I want to remove the lnk.
Just click no and it should work fine.
Hi
Something went wrong while restoring a backup using Sprite Backup, and it only partially restored my email accounts. In the TF3D interface, the accounts are visible. But as soon as I tap an email to open it in the WM email program, I directs me to the main Messaging screen. In that screen the email accounts do not show op.
When I try to re-add the account under the same name, I get an error saying the account already exists. I've looked in the registry and file structure to see where WM6 stores mail account information, but was unable to find it.
Does anyone know which files or registry keys I need to delete to make sure all traces of the email accounts are gone?
why don't you try to do a restore again?

The backup was from when I was running a different rom, that's why it's not working the way it should.
I had the same problem. I wrote simple MortScript.
Delete "\cemail.vol"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Place a shortcut to this script to a \Windows\Startup folder and reset. It will have a brand new cemail.vol file when everything boots up. Don't forget to delete the shortcut, or you'll have a brand new cemail.vol every time you boot. It would delete email and sms/mms. After that you can restore your mail one more time.
Problem is in your Sprite Backup and unmark some fields with registry restore ( manual mark fields ). After second restore everything was ok.
Thanks! that fixed it
Perfect fix!
Thanks
I used MortScript to solve the problem. The disadvantage to this is that it wipes out your Txt message history and all your e-mail accounts... all things considered, I'm very happy with this solution.
One thing that tripped me up: When you edit a file in Mobile Word and save it as a text file, it will put a .txt extension on the file, no matter how you tell it to save it. You cannot fix this with File Explorer built into WM6. You will need to either edit the file name with Total Commander or through your computer (via Activesync).
Same Issue
Same issue here, but please How do I write the Mortscript? Any Step by Step guide? This is practically new to me. I just copied what you wrote above into word and create a .txt file?
The ghost email ( 1) on my tab is so annoying

Hey Guys - I have a huge Problem ...
I was playing around with SKtools and "optimizing" the registry ... I dont know if this has anything to do with it and its the first time i'm posting here for a Problem ..
following problem : in Manila tag "messages" there are no more messages - all my sms are gone and im not able to create new ones ... i also cannot access "messaging" in start menue or settings...
same with mail accounts - cannot see mine nor create or edit a new one ...
can anyone help me please ? is this just a broken link somewhere ? Are my messages still eventually stored anywhere and if yes where ?
i would really appreciate your Help
sorry for my english
It could be registry errors.
Try to restore your backup.
well ... i dont find any option for a backup in sk tools concerning automated optimisation of the registry ..
then hard reset is another option...
next time install a proper backup tools like Sprite Backup & backup regularly
well i know
it seems that outlook is broken - is there a possibility to manually search the files/folders where sms and mail messages are stored ?
As long as your WM not discarded all the corrupted data may be you still can get it.
but I'm not sure b'coz I have never try that before.
yes - thats what i thought .. the data might still be present ...
does anyone know the folder / file where sms and mail messages are normally stored ? also I cant't find the "tmail.exe" in my System - does this have to do anything with it ? Is someone out there who has a little background knowledge ?
I had the same problem. It was fixed by going to the sd card and deleting some folder called ~"Inbox.1234123" or something.
Its some error b/c of having 2 different folders for storing attachments. Deleting that folder fixed it for me. It still pops up every now and then, i go and delete that folder, and all works perfect afterwards...

Brilliant. Had this problem and two of these files (as I'm on a mac I only have my contacts etc backed up, but not my entire system)
Thus removing these two files saved me a lot of pain.
Thanks!

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.
