Hi Mates,
Would somebody like to guide me that how can i remove or change a program name from a " Remove Program" window instead of removing the actuall program.. In that way i think we can hide a program from other onlookers....
Max621
HTC TYTN II
It seems to me that; I asked a very technical question.....
RegEdit
Have a look at the Reg Keys in [HKLM]\Security\AppInstall\
Change the keys in there to change the display name.
If you are skiddish about the registry, you can use SK Tools to remove the name as well. Another easy alternative is to go to \Windows\AppMgr & delete or move the file for the program you want removed from uninstall. Then go to unistall Programs & click uninstall. The device will say that it can't find the uninstall information (which is kept in \Windows\AppMgr) & will then ask you if you want to remove it from the list. Chose yes & it's gone, but the program .exe & other files will remain. You will need to reinstall later if you ever want to remove it.
Thanks Guys for the help and i think playing with the Registry is a lot more fun

I have tried to uninstall an app, but it says that it is only partially removed. The app does then not show up in \windows\appmgr, and [HKLM]\security\appInstall\. But it always shows up at \Setting\uninstall list and cannot be removed even I tried again and again. Any idea what on hell it is? Thanks.

Look under /Windows/Startup. See if there's a .lnk file from the app and delete it - then reset.
If that's not the case, you could search for remaining files and registry entries and manually remove it, but it might be easier just to reinstall it, reset the phone, make sure the application is off (and not enabled in the Today Screen) and then uninstall it.
Thanks for that. I did manage to remove it.
Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!
I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in
Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

wow, thank you very much mtiberio!
your link really hit the spot!
Very odd - my Registry setting for 112 was already showing Calendar as the default value but on screen it shows email.

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.
i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want
was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

You will need to reset your device for it to show up in your programs list.

Hi, thannks for the direct links. I'm going to try installing it. i hope it'll be fine.
seems it doesn't work with wm6. after installing it, the program isnt available in my program.
i have a remaping app for my tilt , but i cant seem to find the lnk or exe for device lock.
any one can help me on remapping my left softkey to "lock my device"
thanks !
Re - Remap left softkey to lock the phone
Why don't you try HTC end Key.cab, it works great and you don't have to lose the use of the soft key.

I just tried this and the phone lock is not an option on my phone with this. Also when I tried to uninstall this cab my left softkey that is mapped to calendar, now gives me an error, something like, the file 'htc calendar cannot be opened......' Also when I installed it, it changed the color of my today screen back to att default. I fixed this by just changing my theme and then changing it back. Any clue how to make the calendar button work right again?
alright im going to take a look @ that.
What Rom are you using?
Found the solution for you but need to know what ROM you're running.
On your phone, open your registry editor. If you don't have one, get it here. Navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open. Change the Data String from \Windows\??????? to (This is what a stock ROM should be) \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Device Lock.lnk
If you have a different ROM, I have no clue. But, I will keep checking for ya.
I am running the stock rom from att. I don't have a registry editor yet, but I will try the one you posted and try to fix it in the morning, when I get back up to work. Thanks!
Good luck, bro. I'd check the link I provided (Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Device Lock.lnk) to make sure that Device Lock.lnk is there. If it is then you'll be good to go. If not, check in other folders for it. It will be in your windows folder or windows sub folders somewhere. Let us know how it turns out for you.
i think that devicelock.lnk is what i cant find when remapping . its not in my windows folder
im using L26 v11 Rom
I am not able to find the devicelock.lnk either, I have looked in the windows/startup/programs folder and it is not there. I looked all through the windows folder also and could not find it although the windows folder itself is quite large and I may have just missed it.
hi i have installed a the Colour 3G 10 Button touch home dialer comm manager on my tytn ll but dont want it anymore and now i cant uninstall it, i try to run the installation process again to have the existing installation removed but i always get a message that it cannot be uninstalled, so i have gotten the SKTools program to remove it but still cannot find or remove this thing, can someone tell me where to look or how to get rid of it. thank you.
In SKTools:
- to be safe, start by doing a backup of your device (Sprite Backup or similar)
- select installed programs, then select the app you want to uninstall (and no other, otherwise they will also be uninstalled !)
- it shows all the components installed for that app
- make a screen capture of the installed components and save it for later reference
- select "Action", then "Uninstall marked" (not Uninstall marked standard !)
- if all goes well, it should be uninstalled
- otherwise, manually uninstall the components in your saved screen capture.
hi and thanks. see this is the problem tho, this 'Colour 3G 10 Button touch home dialer comm manager' is not showing up in the installed programs, i actually cant find it anywhere, i mean i know its there somewhere obviously, but i've even unzipped the file on my computer then looked for the files that came out of it manually in the windows folder and a few other places and using the search function of the fone and on SKTools and still can't find it haha. bugging me man. actually the search function doesnt bring up anything, i type in the exact file name of a few of the unzipped files and get no results. and now actually my original dial pad on the phone has been messed up too.so if anyone knows where i can find the windows mobile 6.1 phone dialpad i'd appreciate that too. does it even come separate?
First, did you soft reset after your uninstall? It often helps.
Also, being careful and using a registry editor, did you check if there are any unwanted remnants of the old dialer in the registry?
hi, thanks. no i didnt do a soft reset, i dont even know what that is actually. and i can't uninstall the app thats my problem. how would i know what files to look for in the registry?
thank u.

1) search for soft reset on this forum
2) under HKLM/software and HKCU/software, look for the name of the editor/developper or the name of the app
Again, be careful
Have you made sure commanager is not running before uninstall?
A way to make sure is to soft-reset "turn device off then on "
Hello, I have problems with program,which I downloaded and installed.This program locks messages. Program is running and everything is allright, but I don´t know how to delete message icon in my main menu. I deleted icon in start menu but in main menu, the icon is still there. Can you give me an advice? Thank you...
Michal if you want help, please tell us what device and operating system you have ...
I ´m sorry...I have Samsung Omnia i900 and operating system is windows mobile 6.1
Can you post a picture? It's difficult to understand from your description, is it a today plugin? And what the program you installed?
Edit: I don't know your device but I read a bit on it http://pocketnow.com/review/samsung-omnia-i900?p=2 maybe you are talking about a widget? In this case there is a tab which pulls out a menu to remove widgets, see first pic.
In main menu, I would like to delete the icon of message,in the right top corner. (Pic 7 on your added link)
I am not talking about widgets. Name of program is Lock Down. I found a lot of informations about this program, but I can´t find any informations about deleting of mobile icons.
Ok, I think I understand after I figured that Samsung 6.1 version is different from Htc . You can't remove icons in main menu unless you remove the program that created the icon in settings. As for this message icon I believe it's part of the operating system and cannot be uninstalled.
I hope it helps
Thank you.In our slovak forum people said, that it is possible,but they can´t talk me how can i do it So I have other question. Is there any option, how to remove the program that created the icon? Or what can I do, if I want to read messages secretly? If I open messages in program Lock down, the program asks me for password. But the program is unnecessary, because everyone can reads my messages in menu :-/ . Can you help me again?
Hi Michal,
To remove ( uninstall ) go to Settings, you'll find Remove, click and find the program you want to remove. If it's not in the list it means it's part of the Rom.
As for the icon you don't want to see :
Sync the device, in Active Sync window on your Pc click Explore, navigate to Start Menu/Programs and find the shortcut, remove it or hide it by moving it to another folder. After Reset your icon has disappeared (sorry I didn't tell you before, I haven't been using this OS for a long time).
I can´t find shortcut... Where can it be?
When you click explore, it opens in My documents I believe, go one folder above, it should be the root, there you find a folder called Windows, open it, find Start Menu, click, find Programs, click and you see all the icons.
can anyone help?
