Just go to the folder Windows/Start Menu and delete all unwanted shortcuts!

Why? Windows?
I'm on my HTC Mega, the only buttons i see are: "Block" and (when i press up on a folder) "move up"
In my phone when i connect it to my pc, there are no folders called Windows or Start menu
Can you explain better? Thank you

Hi Exkill,
Do edit your file system, you'll need to install a different Explorer. The one in-built with ROM will not be able to help you. Try for these given below
"Resco Explorer"
"Total Commander"
Google & install.
Using these explorers, you'll be able to find the "Windows" folder on your device. Then Browse to "Start Menu" & then delete the unwanted folders / shortcuts.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

You can just tap and hold on it in File Explorer and tap "Copy" then in File Explorer go to My Device --> Windows --> Start Menu --> Programs and paste it in there.
the exe file has to be installed through activesync.
Not necessarily. Sometimes an app is downloaded as an EXE and you run it on your PC and it installs via ActiveSync. But sometimes you download an EXE and it is supposed to run on the phone.
If you use the file explorer to make a shortcut to the exe rather than copying the exe, you don't have to copy any dependencies across.

I tried this first before posting this topic, and after reading some instructions, learnt that the only way to get it to appear in the Programs list is to install it via Activesync.
note: i recall that some one was able to extract the cab file (from exe files needing to be installed via activesync) from the installation so that future installs can be achieved without activesync.

You should be able to paste the .lnk file into your start menu
but the pro doesnt show the start menu, TF3D i do not know how we can add a link
create the link in \windows\startmenu, rename it if you like, and it will be shown in the programs list.

First, installing iGo to your storage card should still put an iGo program folder in Programs.
Second, all you need to do is open File Explorer and navigate to the iGo.exe, and copy it to the desired location.

how to add shortcut to the start menu?

Hi Guys
I've got a folder on my storage card which contains a mobile ver of online comunicator(GG) this works without instalation so could you tell me how I can add a shortcut to it to the program list (start menu) to be able to put it on the quick links? thx
You can use Resco Explorer. Just right click on the exe file and choose send to start menu as shortcut.
Other file explorers will probably have similar functions.
Or just create a shortcut for it and paste it in \windows\start menu\programs
thank you.
thanks
thanks alot.. it help.. now i can add apps to my desktop

Creating shortcuts
Hi.
Easiest way entirely on phone is:
1) Locate .exe in file manager
2) Right click (Hold down on the file) to select it and 'copy'
3) Navigate to Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs (it can take a while to load sometimes
4) Right click & select 'paste as shortcut'.
Hope this helps
That worked like a charm! thx!
I needed to do this for my igo8.exe.
I tried doing it on my pc but the paste shortcut option was greyed out I'm running windows 7 64 bit, does anyone know the reason for this.
I managed to do it using the file explorer on the device but would really like to know why it doesn't work via my pc?
thanks
It's (I think) to do with the way that Activesync/WMDC interprets actions on our WM devices as it doesn't see it as a straight-forward flash device for obvious reasons. The best way is through your phone.

The below works for me.
Run the exe of the installed program from your SD Card (In my case, SASHIMI), and a shortcut will be placed automatically in the Start Menu. Now when you try to add it on one of the CHT empty quicklinks (either 1.8.5 and 2.0), you'll find it in the programs list.
Hope this helps.
I have fexploreext installed which adds additional features to the file explorer. one of which is the ability to click on any .exe and create a shortcut in the start menu without all the hassle. you can then select it to be used in CHT.
and if you still want to know how to do it manually :
- copy an .exe file
- past as shortcut in : Device/Windows/Start Menu
Go into file explorer.. find the exe.. hold it down.. in a few secs a screen appears that gives.. add to start menu... as an option go back and it should be with al lthe other programs
Thanks
Thank You all!
Ii's OK for my iGo!
