I have an icon from a broken program (CardExport) that is stuck to my Today Menu. I can't clear it. Is there a regedit or some kind of hack I can use to manually remove the icon? HTC Wizard and WM5.
TIA.
Do you mean it is under the Items tab when you configure Today settings or it it is one of the choices when you click on the Start button?
The dead icon is on the drop-down menu under the Start icon. It's one of the apps you can add to the menu for quick access. When I try to uncheck it in the menu settings list, I get a message saying "Unable to move that item."
Manually delete the short-cut from File Explorer. Windows\StartMenu folder.

Carty..

Yeah but that'll be a shortcut to the "Word Mobile program" not the file/document and I've got loads of word files on my device.
make a shortcut of the file and drop it in the progams folder under windows>start menu>programs. It will then appear in the list of programs to add to HTC home plugin.

OK, here's the solution:
1. Open File Explorer
2. Press and hold your stylus over the word document until a pop-up menu appears
3. Tap "Copy"
4. In File Explorer, go to Windows > Start Menu.
5. Now, tap "Menu > Edit > Paste as Shortcut"
Now, your word doument will appear when you click the + sign in HTC Home
hope this helps
Thanks!
I've done it!!!
adding programs to launcher - not bringing the program
I am trying to add program by hitting the + sign in launcher. It is bringing the programs. after I select a program - launcher is not adding it to the launcher. I can remove the existing programs. I have added 4 programs long time back. If I hit remove they are going away from launcher. But - programs are not getting added.
Any help? Thanks.
I've recently applied the reg edit to be able to view 5 items per row on my programs folder which now makes that page quite usable as a launcher. Now I'd like to assign my left soft key to open up the programs folder.
I'm using Soft Key v1.3. When selecting applications for the key, what is the name of the Programs Application that, when pressed, will open up the programs folder (ie, same as Start/Programs)? I've tried many that appear to be it but none work.
I've searched and searched on xda and actually found a few results but none that worked. I've tried creating shortcuts, even found a 'folderview.exe' file to put into the windows folder but, when pressed it opens up the default programs folder of only 3 icons per row. It seems like this would be an easy thing to do but I'm stumped.
If this made any sense of what I'm trying to accomplish, can anyone help please?
Any news on this?
I've been searching for hours about this subject and didn't find anything.
I'm stuck with this also, folderview.exe does open the programs menu folder but doesn't render the 4 icons per row, instead it presents only the standard 3 icons/row.
Anyone knows how to overcome this issue?
Thanks
BUMP!
Does anyone have a solution to displaying the 4 icon layout in folderview?
Or is there an alternative way to display folders in the program launcher?
Cheers!
@ question 1:
Start Menu\Programs on Soft Key
I actually found an application that is even more flexible:
WM5NewMenu by Saman.cz
It does NOT mirror the above mentioned folder,
but even better: you can configure it just as you like.
E.g.: I created a few submenues (Main, System, Connectivity, Navigation, Utilities, Games) and added the most important prog links to each submenu.
Give it a try and spend some time.
Hey, it's freeware.
@ question 2:
4 Icons in a row
best use Schap's Advanced Config (I used 3.0 as 3.2 did not work).
Then under the 1. menu item "user interface"
select "horizontal icon spacing" and change value to "112"
select "vertical icon spacing" and change value to "115"
select "icon title font size" and change to "6"
... perform a soft reset and ... you're done
Thanks M_O_N_A_C_O, but that's not what we are after.
We know how to set the folder with 4 columns and we don't want a new menu.
What we would like to have is some way to open the "programs" or "settings" from a button or softkey (like WMguy post) and still be able to get it with the 4 columns display instead of only 3, which is what happens if you do it with folderview.exe

Where is d attachement?????
So i've been trying to change the icons on my screen. Tired a few ways but it doesnt seem to work. When i'm on my home screen i hold one of my icons and press replace -> custom icon. i'm sure i have elegant themes and more themes installed from the market already, but all that shows up is ASTRO, bluetooth file tansfer, gallery and messenger withyou. Same happens when i use folder organizer lite to do it! I'm i doing something wrong?
thanks in advance!
Folder organizer works for me.
Open Folder Organizer > Apps > Press Drop Down Menu on any of Apps > Select "Icon"
and then select new icon from "And Explorer" or any other method.
after these steps
Go back to Home screen Long press on Home screen, Select " Widgets" > Scroll left and select "Folder Organizer Item" > Select "Apps" > Now Select the app that you have changed the icon previously. Thats it. New Icon Appears on Home Screen.
