you cant move them. if you are trying to place them in a different location for easier access, what you do is create shortcuts and move the shortcuts to the locations you want. but you cannot physically move them or else you will mess up the program. plus some are built into the rom so they have to stay put.

anyone know of an program uninstaller...there's a program that i've uninstalled/removed from my phone, but there's still icons and other things sitting in some of the directories of my phone. i remember seeing something around here in the wizard or kaiser forum. i've searched for removal, remover and uninstall/uninstaller but i can't find a thing. even tried downloads.com since they have a lot of pocketpc apps.
thanx in advance
PS
those that are quick to jump the gun, "Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Remove Programs" is not removing the icon....
Why can't you manually delete these icons if they don't point to anything?
if there's a way to delete the icon from the programs menu, and start menu manually...do tell. otherwise, i think i'll just use that program. i know its out there, i used it on my 8125
\Windows\Start Menu and deeper

oooh unfortunatly im having same problem, been looking and have tried many programs to remove un wanted icons and programs but it doesn't work any one has got any un-installer programs pls......................what is deeper by the way?..........................
thanks
open \Windows\Start Menu
and then go into directory that icon is and delete it
program shortcuts in the start\programs menu are all from the windows folder:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
If the uninstaller doesn't remove the shortcut from that folder, you can delete it yourself.
Invad Shortcuts
In case you guys have still not been able to remove the invalid shortcuts use Pocket Mechanic Professional. It has an option which find and hekps u delete invalid shortcuts.
The App "MemMaid" will clean unused shortcuts, dead registries among other things..

I've installed 50+ applications on my new HTC kaiser (which runs WM6.1 OS), its getting a little bit embarrassed because its very hard to pick a program up from the sea of icons.
Is there any way could possibly sort applications into different folders? (e.g. all gps applications go to a "gps" folder, all instant msg applications into a "IM" folder?)
btw, Is it possible to create a shortcut for the "green" application in the "programs" page(no installation needed, just run it in the file explorer) ?
thanks in advance!

You can add as many folders as you want. Just use a decent file explore & create as many new folders as you want in \windows\start menu\programs
Then cut & paste the shortcuts located in \windows\start menu\programs into the new folders...
I have many programs & my programs page has about 7 folders. You can even add custom folders & Icons by adding a resource file & a ?xxxxxx location direction command to the end of links....
For instance I have in my start menu a Phone & Messaging folder with all my phone & mressaging apps. Another for Multimedia.
got it!!!!!
Big thanks to *legendary* GSLEON3!
Legendary??? Well, ok, I guess in my own mind at least...
I'm nobody, Just a guy that can read & has been around long enough to know that you will learn more reading old Blue Angel & Hermes threads than you will anywhere else. Sure, most of the stuff won't work on Kaiser, but all of our tools & methods are adopted from there. The theory behind everything lies in those old threads.
I have allot of program folders with grafix in them on my phone, and I don't want to scroll thrue all of them when I'm using Camera -> Album...
I know how to add folders to the Ignored list in registry...
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored\
but I cant get it to work with folders in the 'Storage card'...
Anyone that can help me?
'I just want to say BIG thanx to everybody in this forum!! Without you I would be completely lost!'
I have the same problem. Plus, I would like to open a picture in HTC album from file explorer, but it always just opens the default album, not the picture I want to open.
Any help is appreciated!
Yeah, I would be lost without the forum as well!

make a .lnk file with the following:
20#"Windows\htcalbum.exe" -directory:\my documents
if you want another folder just replace my documents with what ever you want

Hi Laser 21,
Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Ross.
no. Anyone else?

No, nothing here either
Can block all folders except in Internal Storage..
Hello,
the only solution I'm aware of is to set the 'hidden' attribute on the folders which should not be visible in the HTC-Album.
In my experience each individual image has to have the hidden attribute set, rather than the folders.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424784
Hello Dave,
yes, you're right.
I used "Total Commander/CE", and tried to set the hidden-attribute on a folder called "Musik", and selected "Recurse subdirs". Then I checked some subfolders an saw that the folders were not marked "hidden" (that does work with "Total Commander 32" on my PCs). But after a reboot, HTC-Album didn't list any of the subfolders inside the "Musik"-folder. So I thought it was enough to mark the top-folder hidden to hide all subfolders, too.
I just checked the folder again and saw that Total-Commander/CE had marked all files 'hidden'.
So it's not as easy as I thought.

It's easy enough from a desktop computer in USB disk drive mode.
I don't generally use HTC Album but this is a fix I have to do with my music album art in order to keep the program actually usable. It's a really flawed bit of software IMO.
I switched from Palm to the Sprint TP with WM 6.1 (I love the change). When I had my Treo, there was a program called Sharklinks http://www.ludustech.com/sharklinks/ . It was great. It would create a palm launcher icon (shortcut), that was related to a browser url.
You would click on the shortcut, it would launch your browser, and bring you to the site.
Is there any such program that will work on the sprint TP.
TIA
You have a few options. If you want to access the icon from the today screen, you can add the URL shortcut file as a document to Today plug-ins like Resco Explorer.
You could also drop the URL shortcut into your /Windows/Start Menu directory or /Windows/Start Menu/Programs to get to it other ways.
I made the switch from Palm OS several years ago and am never going back.
use touchflo
as i recall, touchflo 3d displays your favorites from opera on the internet tab under the youtube link!
I guess I am trying to figure out how to create the url shortcut.
I want to set up a folder under the start menu for streaming radio stations.
I then want to setup shortcuts in the folder so that when I click on them the Station starts to play.
Do I just copy the URL, and past in the folder to create the shortcut for that url.
I am a windows maniac, but I am just learning WM 6.1
Bump to the top

Is there a way to create folders in the Start menu in WM6.1 Pro? And, to this guy's point, is there a way to make an item in the Start menu be a URL?
I figured my problem out. I was able to click on the radio station links, and they created ASF files in the music folder. I then used Shortcut Creator to create shortcuts to the ASF files in a folder in the programs section of start up.
And to answer JonDeutsch's question: the easiest way is to access your mobile device re: activesync, go to the directory windows/startup/programs, and right click, and new folder.
Hope that helps.
P.S. I still have not figured out how to actually create a URL Short cut that I can put into any folder I want. This community is a great group of developers. This would be a great program to develop.
binar1 Custom App Folder Project
I love changing folder icons on my pc desktop computer so they are easy to recognize and wanted to do the same on my PPC and phone.
There is plenty of info on how to change icons on mobile device and software such as SK Shortcut Manager that can make these changes quickly.
However there seems to be a lack of standard folder icons that represent the application or files it contains.
So i have started a project to make custom folder icons for all apps on my phone, and thought I would make them available here as a thank you for all the help the members of this site has given me. Even though this is my first post I have spend many hours searching, reading and learning.
Seeing as folders manly show in a file explorer I have made the first test set for Resco Explorer and a few other Resco apps. The sample set below contains a dll with Resco icons in Win2k, WM5 and WM6.1 style folders plus standard app icons (see screenshot)
Now the plan is to duplicate this for as many apps as I can, but this is a slow process. I am still learning and need some help to move this project forward.
I have tested these on my TyTN II and ipaq RX1950 and they look great to me.
If anyone would like to test the samples set and suggest anything to improve future sets please let me know.
Current ideas include.
Making separate dll for each folder type.
Matching pc desktop folder icons
Creating other formats for use in other apps
Update
Added Spb Folders Separate dll for each folder type
