I saw many items that I already uninstalled still showing in the registry, will it slwo down the system? Or can they be deleted from the registry without causing any problems?

Is anybody experiencing a problem with Opera Mobile? Since late last night the app is spontaneously closing on me a few seconds after it is opened. I do have a licensed copy. I did a soft reset and reinstall of Opera but no change. Everything else on my Tilt works fine and the problem occurs even with no other apps running. I have not made any recent changes. I am using the OEM AT&T ROM.
Uninstall
Delete [|Storage Card]\Application Data\Opera
Reinstall
Looks like some corrupt cache files were the culprit.

If your feeling adventurous you could try unistalling it. The deleting all opera related orphaned registry entries using Resco Reg Editor or PHM. Then soft reset and try again. As it is possible that some orphaned reg files could contain the config causing the problem.
Let me know how you get on and beware of what you delete (maybe use a backup program first.
Resolved
Registry was the first thing I tried. One benign entry in HKLM\Security\LockStream\Browser that made no difference.
But I discovered that uninstall of Opera does not remove the cache files in \Storage Card\Application Data\Opera (I installed Opera on the Storage Card). Deleting this directory after uninstall and then reinstalling cleaned things up.
Thought this would be automatic, but my programs list is a jumbled mess. Is there any way I can sort them alphabetically?
Thanks!
using a registry editor, naviagte to HKCU\Microsoft\Shell\Startmenu and remove the key "Order". Soft reset device and everything should be fine.
OK, so it seems that just about every time i want to uninstall/upgrade a program on my tilt (not cracked, only bypassed the att crapification...er, customization).
what happens is, certain programs (most recently cetwit) will not fully uninstall when i goto remove them from remove programs. it says this and asks if i wish to remove the program from the list of installed programs, and i usually say yes. that program is still listed when i goto start/programs, and the program files are still safe and secure in the program files folder through file explorer.
the worst part is, when i try to reinstall/install an updated version, it shows two icons in my programs list, which is very frustrating...enough so that it causes me to hard reset and reinstall everything over again. i've run registry and junk file cleaners to no avail.
is there any way to COMPLETELY remove a program in this situation, or am i required to hard reset each time it happens?
maybe here i will also ask for a good registry cleaner that knows what to kill and what to leave...
sktools wiped out some important things, had to hard reset and start over because even my backup app couldnt fully recover.
Get a file explorer, delete the program's folder in Program files, delete the shortcut in the start menu and most of it is done. You can then use a reg cleaner to remove the last remains in the registry.
That has happened to me with a couple of programs, I'd blame the programs rather than WM.
I have a similar issue. I've removed the program folders, shortcuts, registry entries, etc. but the programs still appear in the remove programs list under settings / system. Although it's not causing me any problems per se it is really annoying. If anyone knows how to fix it I'd love to know.
on pc's the list in add/remove
is
located in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
would asume that they are stored in reg on pda's too
I've had that happen a few times also, what usually fixed it besides manually deleting the folders and shortcuts, is to remove it in add/remove programs in activesync. Just check the box that says to delete from handheld and desktop.
I've tried that - using AS to remove the applications - but it still doesn't work. They all show up with a size of 0.0K but removing the tick in the box and selecting the remove from both device and computer option does nothing - they still show up in the list on both devices.
Hi all,
My P4350 is showing the Notification Error for every now and then. It says "Cannot execute\Application Data\Volatile\pockeplayer wakeup.exe"
The Conduit Pocket Player had no problem. Once my friend took the phone to listen to the music. After the phone came back to me this error is appearing.
I uninstalled the application. But, still the notification persists.!!!
Help me.
Hi all,
I uninstalled the application and reinstalled. But, the error still pops-up every now and then.
There is nothing in that path, which the error notification shows.
Is this a virus? Do I have to change any registry?
Please help me.
Any solution?
Hi,
I may sound that I am in hurry to get a solution ofr the problem.
In mean time, I renamed the S2U2 as pocketplayerwakeup.exe and saved that into \Application Data\Volatile\
May sound crazy!!!!!!
So that, if the phone wants to do something, let it lock the keys. So, now I am not getting the Error message.
But, still is there any solution for this?
error again
The error appeared again on today. i was surprised to see that, the duplicate copy what I created was not there. Don't know how that file was deleted. I again created the file.
Is there a solution to this? (Apart from flashing the ROM).
Whenever I connect the phone to computer, it is deleting the duplicate file what I created.
So, whenever I unplug it from computer, I again start getting the same error notification.
It looks like some background services tried to execute that path. Here is my appoarch, but be caution, if you are not familiar with the registry, please make a backup before editing anything.
First check if no "weird" stuffs is in the "\windows\startup" folder, then check if that path or file is refered to in the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init and \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services of the Registry and delete them. If still nothting there, make a complete search of the registry to see any reference to that file and delete it (it's ok since you already uninstall the program). Hope this help.
I am even more dumb when it comes to registry. (I can modify something if the name of the particular key is given.)
I could find the follwing thing in Windows/Startup
Capnotify.lnk
poutlook.lnk
WifInit.lnk
sddaemon.lnk
iLock2.lnk
WkTASK.lnk
GPRSNotify.LNK
Among these I don't know what does Capnotify.lnk and sddaemon.lnk do. I don't even know how to find the registry key which it referes to.

Try PHM Registry editor. Do a search with "pocketplayer" or "wakeup.exe".
No success
I finally installed PHM registry editor. But, did not find anything for wakeup.exe
What to do?
I have no need for emails or programs tab...no matter how many times I've tried to disable them with config, after reset, thet're still there...
Is your laungage set to english in config? I set it to polish and they showed up. set it back to english and it was good.
I seem to have 2 SMS, 2 E-MAIL blocks blank on the available tabs screen...email tab just keeps popping up...got rid of programs, lousy email...
Removing Tabs
I've got this exact same problem, Diamond TF3D Config does not do the trick, but I have the same problem as the thread maker. THe problem occured when I updated my Manila to the newest one. Is there any way of editing this through the registry?
I also had that problem after I installed the calendar tab. It seems two '26948339_manila' files appear in the /windows directory. I backed up the windows directory then removed the '26948339_manila_disabledtabs' file and it seemed to work.
