how do you actually delete the ones you want to get rid of? i under stand this is to stop them reloading but how do you get rid in the first place?
file manager
go to windows>start menu>programs and delete them from there.
Might be an easier way I've not heard of though?
Thanks czar.nik
I have made new folders using activesync in my windows/start/programs folder. The new folders are programs, apps web, etc.
Using the phones file manager, I have cut and pasted the appropriate icons in the start menu to their respective new folders that I created. Ex: I put opera and IE in the web folder, camera, video recorder in the mutimedia folder and so on. After I did the cut and paste, when I look at the windows/start/programs folder with either activesync or the phones own file manager, the icons that I cut and pasted are in their new folders, and not in the windows/start/programs folder. But, when I open the start icon on the phone, the icons I cut and pasted to the new folders still are visible, along with the same respective icon that I cut to the folders.
I did all this to unclutter the start screen. I have installed the touch X remove reappearing icon cab and have validated the registry change to 0. But, the supposed cut icons are still there, cluttering up the start page. Any ideas on how to get rid of this things forever??!!
Any solutions......anybody?
"Fun & Info" can be removed somehow?
iarapilot,
See in the registry, there is somes information about start menu tree cleanup, reset and all is fine !!
Search in the forum, you find it
Please can you tell us the link? Can´t find it.

Try to restart your device. If it doesn't help, delete those icons from star menu entirely (or move them somewhere else), restart your device (then there should be non of these icons anywhere in start menu) and then move them anywhere you want. It worked for me when i encountered this problem, so it's at least worth the try.. Good luck
not working, please help
i installed the cab and tried deleting icons on both the file explorer and on the windows mobile center on my pc. It is not working. The files are no longer there but the icons are, except now they are grey files, not the icons as before. Please somebody walk me through this step by step.

I've also been told there isn't a way to get the original icons off the start menu that tmobile had on the phone when i got it, such as bn eReader, blockbuster, etc. I need help.

I have 4 duplicate shortcut icons in my start menu. They are htc music, footprints, people and calendar. They appeared after i installed then removed a cab file to extend number of icons in home screen from 9 to 16,
Can someone help me to remove them, many thanks. Also does anyone know where footprint images are stored, and is there a way to plot images taken with camera using GPS other than footprint
windows/start menu/programs
Create new folders, move icons around...hide some, and, yes, delete as well...
I have the same problem of having duplicate shortcuts. There are the originals which have the usual icons, and the duplicates do not have custom icons, just a blank icon.
The problem with just deleting it in windows/start menu/programs is that I do not know which is the one with the icon, and which is the duplicate.
I started by deleting HTC Twitter as I do not use Twitter and deleted the one with the icon, and do not want to repeat with the other shortcuts. After a reboot the HTC Twitter icons have returned.
Any suggestions?
If they are returning then just use your file explorer "i use Total Commander" to change the properties to hidden
stylez,
Thank you for the suggestion.
When I look at File Explorer on the mobile I can see two copies of the duplicated icons, when I look on File Explorer on my PC only one copy is visible.
I changed the attribute of HTC Twitter to 'hidden' and it is still visible on the phone.
Try using Total Commander on phone
Thank you for your reply.
Changing the attribute to 'hidden' on the phone makes no difference either!
What I have found to work is:
Hide Reappearing HTC Icons from Start Menu
If you delete the HTC shortcuts to Peep, People, Messaging etc and reset, they always come back. To hide these shortcuts for good (not the apps just the shortcuts) use the tweak below.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\IsShortcutEnable
Change to 0 and soft reset. You may need to change their shortcut's properties to hidden by accessing them in Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder.
Posted elsewhere on this forum, I am unable to link to it.
Then delete the shortcut and it does not return.
thank u so much for all ur tips...the last solution works
i looked everywhere but thank u for finally finding me a solution!!!
Hi everybody.
Just deleted my HTC Calendar icon from Windows/start menu/programs. But deleted the original instead of duplicate. Is there a way to recover it somehow ? Or replace it with a downloaded one ? The duplicate is working now but too ugly.
Thank you.

Good tips.
I connected my HTC HD2 to Win Mobile Device Center, and thru the activesync connection, i go to File Explorer on the PC to try to change the attribute to Hidden for those 4 duplicated shortcut files on HD2...but in my File Explorer i can't get Windows/Start menu/Programs folders to appear...I initially thought the whole folders were "hidden" so i have already set File Explorer in my Win7 PC to show all hidden files...but still not showing those 3 folders (Windows, Start menu, Programs), any idea why? Pls help and let me know.
thx in advance....

Have just done the same with the HTC Footprints icon but haven't got a duplicate. The program is still there because Footprints is still available as a Home Screen Tab.
Does anyone know how to re create a shortcut on the start menu?
Thank you.

i've just got my HD2 and noticed this too, can't access my windows folder from my laptop!! - total commander it is... for now!
how about this "JSPA Program Manager v3.10"
will it be help ...
shortcut links still appearing after being moved
I'm having some issues with moving various shortcut links around...
I've used JSPA program manager to change my HD2 start menu screen (not the sense home screen). I've created a few new folders and moved various shortcut links into the folders to make the start menu screen less cluttered. However I've an issue, which I can't seem to resolve.
I've created a folder "Skyscape" and moved (or at least I thought I'd moved) 60 various Skyscape application shortcuts to the Skyscape folder. After closing JSPA down, and navigating to the start menu screen, all the skyscape shortcuts still appear. Checking the Skyscape folder I find all the links are there, though they appear in a random order - is there any program that can help organize links & folders into varying order i.e. alphabetically, creation date etc.
I've navigated using 'Total Commander' and 'Resco File Explorer' to My Device>Windows>Start Menu>Programs and I find that the various Skyscape applications links aren't there... and checking the My Device>Windows>Start Menu>Programs>Skyscape folder I find all the links as expected.
I've also checked HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\IsShortcutEnable is set to '0' which it is... as detailed in hint 42> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Seems like something is amiss, almost like the start menu screen needs some kind of refresh...
Anyone got any helpful advice or hints as to how I can rid myself of the links on the start menu screen?
Hi,
Just got my hd2 (tmobile) day before yesterday and its amazing, i can go on and on about it
on my previous winMo device i had spb mobile shell installed which allowed me to add a shortcut tab "my shortcuts" on the home screen clicking on which would open a window where i could have my favorite programs, contacts, docs etc in one place.
is this possible to do this on the home screen of sense UI, where there are 9 customizable tabs present or is it possible to put a shortcut of any folder on the home screen.
i ask this question because one of tabs on the home screen has a transformers icon on it, and clicking it takes me to the transformers folder on the sd card which has transformers 1 and 2. this same transformers icon/shortcut is also present in programs menu.
i added some mp4 files in the transformers folder on the sd card which has both movies and after doing that when i click on its icon it does direct me to its folder but only shows me the 2 movies not the added mp4 movies.
i hope iam able to explain myself
having a shortcut tab on the home screen which can add a shortcut to a folder would be very helping other than just having the stock program, bookmark, contact options.
thanks in advance.

Touch and hold over an Icon, and drag it off the screen to delete it. Tap to add a new shortcut.
Look into Cookies Home Tab editor to add more shortcuts
Explore folders, find and select program file and hold it, tap copy, now explore windows folder-startmenu- programs- edit- paste shortcut, done. Now you can add it to quick links. If I understand you right.

i have a couple of movies in my storage card and i would like to have an icon on my device to each movie on my storage card, that way i can put them in my quick links ,
The T-MoUS version, has Transformers pre-installed. it has a Transformers icon in the start menu that when selected, it opens a window with both movies lined up in a list type format located in the storage card . Is there a way to create your own?

i had to return mine today at the store because it had a small spot inside the screen, maybe a dead pixel, giving the same affect as you would see when you would sprinkle a drop of water on LCD.
the store reps. were acting up for a replacement saying that even when they get new onces they have already reserved them for new customers, also the tmobile (611) rep told me they would be able to help me had i purchased the phone online
so i returned it
Hi all, Im sorry if this has been covered before but ive been looking for an app that allows me to move,delete,place in folder icons that are in the start menu (The one that comes up when you press the start button on the phone). I have apps that are all over the place and would like to reorganize them if possible.
hello.
I just reach to this aplication on the HD2 that could work for us too.
as I am new I can not put the whole link sorry

Looks like a great program but its not what im looking for....i want a program that allows me to rearrange my programs shortcuts under the start menu and the app provided only allows me to change the icons of the apps..thanx thou
Still looking for an App to do the above please
Have you tried your file explorer to cut and paste the shortcuts to wherever you want. You can add folders and rename them to put apps of a specific type into too if you want.
Ive had a look previously and there is no one repository that the shortcuts live, and i`d image that windows would arrange them by name if could find them which doesnt give me the option i want..
What i want to do is say move the facebook app which is at the bottom of the list and put it about half way up under all the system shortcuts or in a custom folder. The only option the rom gives is "more to top" or "move to bottom".
I hope im making sense.
If you are using WM 6.1 or 6.5, the shortcuts are in \Windows\Start Menu.
Perhaps you are referring to the Manila/Sense program tab are you? If yes, then you should be able to add/remove these from one of the soft keys.
Perhaps you can give us a screenshot of the programs you are referring to....
Hi there sorry for the delay...ive attached the screenshot as per your request.....
So what im wanting to be able to do is re-arrange any icon in the menu so like games to where marketplace is for example
Is this possible?
Hi
I don't understanding something
Is simple drag and drop method not working for you?
Longpress icon until it popsup, drag there you want, release finger.
i cant drag and drop, i think this is a limitation on the rom which is v2.1. The only option i have is to move the icon to the top as shown in the screenshot. All i want to be able to do is move one shortcut to somewhere else in the same menu... aka in the order i want. Im sure someone would have asked this before and that there would be an App that would allow a user to customize this menu.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080
Try this.
Thanx heaps i1ll give a go now and report bk...much appreciated
What rom are you using? If its a 6.5 you can use the drag and drop method described earlier to rearrange start meu icons.
Otherwise they are in this location: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
To create specific folders to move shortcuts to, would look like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Media]
"Name"="Media"
"Group"=dword:00000001
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Media.png"
... where "Name" is the name of the folder, "Icon" is the picture that will represent the folder on the start menu, and "Group"=1 tells windows that this is a folder. Once you have created all the folders you want you can use your file explorer to drag and drop the shortcuts into whatever folder you want
Thanx so much "artukas613" that program was exactly what i was looking for.....worked a treat. Thank you to all who helped.
Ok, Ive looked to see if I could find an answer to this, but no avail......
Im running v2.0.0.0 CHT Editor on WM6.5 on a HTC Blackstone, and I am wondering, as I cant fin the answer here or in the fone settings etc....
How do you remove quicklinks from the page after they have been added?? What has happened is that with my fat thumbs, I have added multiple instances of the same program, and instances of programs that I don't want on my quicklinks table, and all I wanna do is remove them and replace them wih the programs etc that I actually want on the table....PLEASE help, this is getting incredibly infuriating....Thanks guys.
I don't know which version of CHTEditor I'm using, but if I click "Action," then "Edit Quicklinks," I just tap the ones I want to delete, then hit "Finish," or whatever, and it's done.
I don't have my phone in front of me, so I'm not actually entirely sure of the names, but you should get the general idea.
Hope this helps.
On the bottom bar: Menu - Edit Quick Links - Then tap lightly the quicklinks you want to remove (if you hold, then you move them) and a "X" icon will appear on their side - On bottom bar: Done and voilà, the icons you (and ME too) don't want disappear.
