you can just copy the shorcut icon that is in Windows\Start Menu\Programs to any other folder that you would like that is in Programs. Or create the folder that you would like the program to be in, under the same path that i listed above. hope that helps

Anyone know how to make the Windwos folder vivible so I can easily get to the RINGS folder fron Explore in ActiveSync. It's marked as hidden and a system folder in RESCO EXPLORER. When I uncheck the boxes in Properties and go back in to look they have not changed. Does anyone know if there is another registry setting to make this viible?
Ta!

Windows folder is always visible, the last folder under My Device is Windows and it definitely is not hidden,anyway which rom are you using?
Using the standard ROM from Orange and it's definitely NOT visiable from within explorer on my PC...it is from the Trinity but its attibutes are hidden and that's why the PC cannot see it. And as I said if I change the attibs and take the HIDDEN off... it puts it back on again (or doesn't take it off)
You cannot change the attributes of the windows folder.
If you change the explorer settings on the PC so as to display hidden files and folders, then you will be able to see it.
Dohh! Stupid me of course..THANKS!!!
As you've been so helpfull....any ideal how I can get a version of Task Magaer on my Trinity. Orange doesn't supply one. Someone posted a CAB they had extracted on here for me that other day. It loaded OK but did not close down the programs only left them in the background as does the OK button???

1. Is there a way to remove the demo bloatware that AT&T packages with the phone (I am waaay past my Ms. Pac-man jones)
2. I notice that, when I do install the games I want, they don't show up in either the Programs or Games folders - though I can search them out through the File Explorer and run them. I'll end up placing a shortcut in iLauncher, but it would be nice to have them show up in the right folder.

Copy and paste a shortcut (.lnk) into the appropriate/desired folder in the \Windows\Start Menu folder on your phone. E.g. drop a shortcut into \Windows\Start Menu\Games if you want it to be there.

If you remember what shortcuts were in this folder then you can simply recreate this folder in \windows\start menu\programs.

thanks, i honestly dont know what shortcuts were in it, i did the bloatware trick right when i took the phone out of the box so unless there were soem factory installed shortcuts, then there wasn't any from me personally.
Missing TOOLS icon

My Tilt is also missing the TOOLS icon now (initially came with it but recently disappeared), the ironic thing is I haven't done any of the tricks and registry tweaks and other fancy maneuvers, but my husband who has tweaked his Tilt still has his TOOLS icon. I have no idea how to get it back, I've been asking people in other forums
Here's the list of stuff that's linked from the TOOLS icon that's listed under Programs:
Proxy Manager
Adobe Reader LE
Bluetooth Explorer
Calculator
Camera
File Explorer
Java
QuickGPS
Search
Sim Manager
Sprite Backup
Voice Speed Dial
Zip
And the icon wasn't just a Shortcut to the "Tools Folder" that's found under File Explorer > My Device > Program Files > Tools folder....
because that "Tools Folder" is empty on both my Tilt & my husband's Tilt, but my Tilt Icon links are missing while he has his still.
hi all
just installed a game but the shortcut is in my programs list. its called hexavirus its pretty fun, and free too just use the all knowing google.
how on earth do i move the sucker to the games folder?
i tried to do a right click by holding stylus down but that didnt work
and i cant find the folder list anywhere when i plug the diamond into my pc (maybe its just a database file?)
Go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, and move the *.lnk file into the Games folder.

When I click Programs on my start menu, the device just returns to the TouchFlo home screen. The settings link works fine.
Any idea what has gone wrong and how to fix it?
Programs menu...
Has the 'Programs' shortcut menu ever worked?
If so, it sounds like the folder may have been deleted or moved. Use a file explorer application and browse to 'Windows\Start Menu' - does this folder contain a 'Programs' folder?

It used to work fine and yes, Windows\Start Menu container a Programs folder.
When I double-tap it to open it in Total Commander, it opens in Total Commander absolutely fine and all my shortcuts are in there as expected.
One thing I notice though it may mean nothing is that unlike my Games sub-folder it has no icon.lnk file. As I say, that could mean nothing!
It appears that Programs in the start menu is a kind of default thing in Windows mobile, is there a reg setting that may have got screwed?
Thanks for the help. Anything else to suggest?
Rename the troublesome Programs folder in start menu to something else like Programs2. Next make a new folder and cut and paste all the shortcuts in the Programs2 folder into the new folder. Finally delete the original Programs2 folder. So you have made a new Programs folder. Let me know if that works.

Thanks for the idea. I have tried that but get exactly the same result.
One discovery I made is that if I disable the enlarged start menu, the Programs link works fine!
Anyway, if there are no more ideas from anyone, I fear a hard reset could be in order.
Thanks
Ahh shucks! Sorry it didn't work. I suggested it because I had the sae problem. I made a new folder in Start Menu called Phone and it stopped opening after a while. I did the trick above and it works fine now.
See I have unchecked favourite apps from showing in start menu by unchecking them in the Menu option in Settings. Instead, I created folders in the Start Menu folder, such as Internet, Media, Travel, Office, Games, System, Audio etc and copied the relevant shortcuts from progam folder to the new folders. So when I hit start menu from my home page, I get a drop down list of folders only. Much better in my opinion.

Interesting way of organising your Start Menu.
However, I would probably forget in which folders I put the apps! I quite like the Programs list - it does exactly what I want - so thats why I will just stick with that. I was actually wondering if there was a way of making that Programs folder look better - for instance removing the scrollbars or something. Just a nicer looking program launcher really, but as I say, I like the way it works for me.
Anyway, thanks very much for the help. The programs link is a special link of some sort I reckon, hence your fix didnt work. I think I will upgrade my ROM and do a hard reset!
