I'm trying to delete some files in \WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS (e.g. "Push to Talk.lnk") but I get an error message indicate I don't have the necessary permissions.
I'm attempting to do this both via PC/ActiveSync, and via the phone's File Explorer.
Help!

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.

Using resco explorer I have hidden files that were in the ROM. Download teh trial and see if that works for you.
Figured it out...

I have htc mogul 6800 from sprint and would like to delete bubblebreaker.exe from windows folder so I or my family members can't access it again. It kills our lots of time.
I tried from tom's blog but it does not help.

You can't remove files form Windows folder
You can remove the link icon in star menu
Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games
Using File Explorer
Or You can try create a empty text file on computer with the name of bubble braker.exe and replace usin Total Commander.
Sory but my english is bad.
But since BubbleBreaker.exe is readonly file can I overwrite with any other file?
you CAN overwrite it.
copy an empty exe file into your windows folder named bubblebreaker.exe
use total commmander to change the file properties from "read only" "rom" "system" or what ever may be checked and then delete.

You can easily do it yourself. Go into the windows directory in file explorer, and copy the exe. Then go to the directory you mentioned, tap and hold and put "copy shortcut."
Thanks a lot. It really works.

Try , in Total Commander, to press and hold the file, in the menu press properties, then uncheck the read only box by clicking it twice.
See if that does it for you.
I unchecked first and tried but failed.
because it automatically checked(Read Only).
Any other solution.
Which dll files are you trying to move and what for?
File Name:"shellresapps.dll"
dont move them. you can copy anything, but you can't move file in use (such as that system file)
PS: becareful editing that file and be prepared for a hard reset if you screw it up
I can't copy also.
I was curious to see if I could copy shellresapps.dll with Resco File Explorer but I also get an error that it can't be copied .-
"shellresapps.dll" is the system file, you can't copy it to /windows folder, another way, first of all install SdkCerts.cab and make a CAB file with your "shellresapps.dll" and install to your device, becarefull, by replace system file your ppc maynot be restart and you have to HR.
So, I edited a word doc from an email, using the built-in Hancom HWord viewer/editor. I used Save As from the menu. I wasn't paying attention to the file path and just added a suffix to the file name. Turns out I was saving in a protected folder. HWord cannot be opened directly from the Applications on the phone, but only by opening a Word doc from email, etc., but that doesn't present an Open option.
So, since I can't open the app and get an Open option, and because the file is in a protected folder, I can't get to this file.
The only method I've found out there for rooting my phone involves deleting the phone. Not an option when all I need to do is get to the file and copy it somewhere else.
I tried installing the latest HWord, and of course it does not have access to the original HWord's folder.
Do any of you know a method I can get to the file? Again, just need to copy it to a readily accessible folder.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
