The Quick Menu that is normally located in the top right hand corner of the screen has disappeared on my TyTNII. Tried a soft reset and that didn't help. Don't want to do a hard reset as it takes ages to reload all of the software and data. Does anyone have any ideas. Any suggestion is welcome?

when u click on the screen where should be the icon, does it load the menu?
Try running Quickmenu from the Programs folder. That should fix things.
Make sure that there is a Quickmenu shortcut in your Device>Windows>Startup directory. This will ensure it starts after soft resets.
It's is a good idea to invest in a good backup program like SPB Backup which I use or Sprite Backup. This ensures that you save all your PIM info, messaging, settings, shortcuts etc etc. If and when you do need to perform a hard reset, you just run the executable that the backup program creates, and voila, you're good to go.
I normally backup once every week to ten days.
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the quick response. That may be my problem. It is not in my startup menu, but I also don't have a Quickmenu icon on my program window? Maybe it got deleted? How do I restore it?
When I tap in the top right corner where the icon used to be, nothing comes up. I think I must have deleted the program somehow?

I think you may have deleted it inadvertantly. Just restore it and make sure that there is a shortcut n your startup folder.
Here is the App and the two dll files to drop in your windows directory. It is an executable, no need to install. Just copy the executable anywhere on your device and create shortcut in startup folder.
Thanks - very much appreciated. Loaded and working. Great. Have a nice day!

Can someone tell me how to "clear" the recently used apps when you hit the start menu? I find it cluttering and would like to clear it if not eliminate it altogether. Any ideas? Thanks!
sometimes help soft reset, but not everytime..
there is a software.. called.. "clearmenu", or "clearitem".. or just "clear" which is attached to many cooked rom, that is to be installed to your Windows/Startup folder.. which will clear everything in your most recent used list on every soft reset. You can clear it without soft reset, in case you are wondering. and soft reset will not do the job if you dont have the software.
i do not want to spam this thread and discuss it with you, but do not agree with

interesting.. but can I check with you the OS that you are using? Or, better still, you just go into your "\Windows\Start up\" to check if there are anything there, that starts with a 'clear'?
Anyway, since you said "sometimes" soft reset works, I would assume that it is not a repeatable process. If that's the case, probably that the 'sometimes' is the case where the regsitry got messed up and the 'recent used list' gone, and hence coincidently it worked as you wanted to.
Anyway, it is quite a new discovery, but just check with me the `start up` menu (better still, list everything there, can't be too much stuff there), to see if there are any working ones there.
ok, what i want to say is that clearing with apps you mentioned is not only one solution and as you correctly typed, it is done only "sometimes" and i was never trying find out when this happened (or why). now correct?

Ok, guys, there has to be a better way to clean out the recently used apps menu. Anyone???
there is a registry hack... anyone????
Use MortScript and create a text file called cleanup.mscr and place the following in there:
Code:
ErrorLevel off
RegDeleteKey HKCU,Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch,1,1
Place this file in \Windows\StartUp and it will clean up the Recent Menu Items in the Start Menu at every reboot.
big thanks!
do you happen to know the reg location of "recent programs" listed in "start"?
Delete the string entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch then soft-reset. That'll get rid of the recently used app list on the Start Menu.
I have been using the attached file since I had my Wizard and it works great on my Kaiser too! Just put the "startclean.exe" in your "\windows\startup" folder and it will remove the most recently used apps from the menu after each soft reset.
Someone posted this file a long time ago and I can no longer find the thread.
Use this program !!
http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=ClearTemp&platform=ppc
soft reset is OPTIONAL !!
Maybe I am overlooking something... but, is there a way to permanently prevent recently used applications from showing up in the Start menu?
Thanks!
is there a way of limiting the number of recent programs that show up?
thanks
I'm guessing you're looking for helpful registry locations to check out, and I can't help there. My only thought was changing the number of programs always displayed on the front page (Start,Settings,Menu, tick/untick the apps you always want displayed).
I realise this isn't an ideal solution, or possibly even useless, but it does sort of meet your requirements in that the more programs you have 'stuck' permanently to the start menu directly effects (affects?) how many 'recent' programs can be displayed...
Anyone else ever figure this out? I intentionally pair down my start menu, but now it is the entire vertical length of the screen because of the recent programs list. I've searched here and google.
You need to install this cab file. It will delete the recent programs entries when you soft reset.
Excellent, thanks for the help.

Hmmm, mine seems to do this anyway - which I don't always want. Wonder if there's a setting somewhere?
thanks, but i dont softreset my device so often. it would be nice if they were a reg hack or so to limit it...
thanks
cleartemp deletes them when every you want///
I'm being extremely dim here. I'm attempting to copy a shortcut to the start menu folder, but when I paste it in in either PC windows explorer, Resco or mobile explorer either as paste or paste shortcut it disappears into the start menu/programs folder and doesn't appear in the start menu. Any idea?

/*scratch my head*/ did you try the menus option under settings to put the shortcut of the program/item you want to appear on start menu??
Yep tried that- not showing in the list but is under programs?!

that's weird because every program i have installed on my device shows up on the list.. hmm ... i'll have to play around with device when i get home.
It's a replacement handset running 6.1. TBH it seems a bit flaky- I didn't have to set up the screen etc when I unboxed it- booted straight to the today screen. I'm going to hard reset before I load more on. I'll let you know.

hard reset is a good choice if you want the phone restored to original condition when it first came out by manfacturer (assuming no rom or spl flashes). I'll post and see what i get when i get home as far as program popping in list for start menu.
Just completed the hard reset and reinstall. All is well and works as it should inc the start menu. I was suspicious when the new handset (delivered without the battery installed) booted straight to the today screen. This time I had to set up the stylus and go through the tutorial- the only time I was glad to see it!
Thanks for your suggestions thesire.

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 "
