Hi
How do you delete icons in the program list that have been orpahned?
I had Sktools Lite installed and later uninstalled and that left me with a "Registry Explorer" link that does not work. I re-installed Sktools ran a clean and uninstalled in hoping it would go away. That just left me with yet another "Registry Explorer (1)" link.
I tried finding them in the registry but couldn't - any advice?
Anyone? It seems like it would be simple enough to fix ...

Bit of a waste of time just to delete unused program icons.
use file explorer to browse to My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Delete the ones you don't want.
Seems a bit silly to install software just to remove software......!

Hhmzz...I don't agree with you....especially when it's not possible to delete it the old fashion way this software is good! and it doesn't do only that, you can optimize your PPC as well...I stick to it neway!

At some point in the past few days HTC Home stopped displaying the Contacts/Favorites tab. I am (and have been) using HTC Home Customizer and I see Contacts as a choice on the Tabs setting and have selected (and de-selected several times) it but it still won't display the tab on the home screen.
I tried re-installing HTC Home but no joy...
Any and all thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. I'm hoping someone can share their registry entries for HTC Home and/or Contacts?
Did you install one of the TouchFlo/Biotouch Cube installation cabs? They add a registry key that hides the contacts from HTCHome
^^^ If you did
i had the same problem and this worked

I did (unsuccessfully) and the registry tweak above fixed it.
Thank you all!!!!
Greg
ZILLA - thanks, couldn't remember the exact registry value off hand ... didn't have time to look it up at that point
gregeast - glad to hear that fixed it. Sorry you didn't get the cube working ... it's not an easy install at this point, but pretty cool when you do get it working.
Thank the lawd! It works! I've been searching and reinstalling for a week.
Nice thanks
Where do you find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial on the unit, have searched loads of directorys but couldn't find it to delete it?
Well sounds stupid, but you really looked in the Registry and not the File Structure? It is exactly there under MASD....

You have to use Regedit program and to search you have to search for QuickDial
not the whole thing. If you cant find a registry editing program, I think you are out of luck.
Does anyone know the .lnk or .exe for the programs folder page? I dont need the one for the folder itself but the one to the regular page showing in icons view rather than in list view. Hopefully someone out there understands what Im trying to ask for...
\windows\start menu\ programs ?
Wow that was fast! but thats the folder link that I didnt need, that link gives you a list view rather than the icons view. Hopefully this can help people understand what Im asking. Thanks
So what you want is a link that does the same thing as clicking Start>Programs?

Hi,
did you find the solution?
I am looking for exactly the same thing.

my guess is that you have the homeplug so you can use this
\Windows\folderview.exe
Here it is...

I think there are several versions of the folderview.exe, this is the one for the programs folder
Hi,
many thanks!!!
do you know if the exe file takes arguments so as to to reach sub-folders of Programs?

Hello,
For the past few days the (from what I gather) well-known problem of not being able to install or run an 'untrusted' application has been plaguing me. However, I've been searching here and googling around for a long time now with no result...
Been using Dutty's 5.2.19199 (WM6.1) and I really didn't change any setting! So what gives? Any ideas?Basically, how do I get the prompt back (the one during installation)?
Thanks in advance!

Check your registry settings! Use KaiserTweak or Schaps' AdvanceConfig!
Yes, I know it must be something in the registry, but what? And, I thought of Tweak and AdvanceConfig but -guess what? They're not authenticated! Argh!

If you are technical, try this: Download KaiserTweak's latest XML file and open the file in Notepad. Then see what registry key(s) is(are) modified for this tweak.
Ah now - that's a great idea! But, do you know of any PC-based registry editor, since I cannot install one on my TyTNII?
If you're really technical, you can follow through with cmonex's way found here.
If not, search for dot fred task manager, which includes a great *FREE* registry editor amongst other tools, much better than PHM Reg Editor, imo....
Whoa, thanks a bunch. I'll try the task manager first (found here, btw), but I'm not sure if I'll be able to run it either - the whole system seems VERY restricted! I'll try to make heads from tails with the instructions in the other thread. Thanks so much!
Btw, I do seem to remember a program that allowed you to edit the PPC's registry from Windows PC, anyone remember that?
Thanks again guys - much, much appreciated!
You can run the untrusted app, i.e. Advanced Conig. Just select yes. Then make the changes.
BTW, to view the xml, just Open notepad on pc & drop the xml in the notepad window.
No I can't that's my problem - it just flat refuses to run it, it doesn't give me the prompt.. that's why I'm asking for a PC-based registry editor!
Anyhow, I'll try it today and will let you know if I manage it!

Here is another PC based mobile registry editor. Simple to use and works well. Havent found any serious problems with it
Yes, I'm trying this right now
Btw, the registry setting seems to be:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a
Value=1: disabled
Value=0: enabled
Desc.:Enable or disable the warning you get when opening a program that is not digitally signed

The problem with this cab (and another one I had found) is that, once the mobile goes berzerk, you can't install it because, of course, it's unsigned... Catch 22! Thanks anyway - and, by the way, superb site, added to my RSS aggregator at once!
Anyhow, I just applied the reg tweak (set to 0), reset, thing asks me to verify running unsigned start-up programs, I OK them, and then... still same problem! What the heck? There doesn't seem to be any other tweak...

It has to be set to 1 for disabling.. You set to 0?
Regards,
Carty..
Yes, I set it to 0; it was set to 1 (probably an earlier KaiserTweak session), but I actually wanted to get the prompt so that I could tell it that f*cking yes, I want to run/install the app!
Anyhow, been switching between 0 and 1 with no effect... Feel a hard reset coming on, but it's weird because I've found quite a few posts around (not necessarily here) and no solution...
Got the same problem after a white screen after hardspl, but changing the registry worked for me. Thanks, now I can try jumpspl.
So after 40 minutes of wasting time (searching how to do it) I got nothing.
Anyone know how i can make Internet Explorer the default browser? I tried and couldnt find it.. An answer is all i am looking for.
This was originally named something else, but I renamed it so I could find it again. It's buried in a thread somewhere.
Anyway, this restores the registry settings for IE and has fixed IE getting hosed a few times. By Opera, or seemingly randomly. I've had to run this at least 3 times in the last 3 months.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.. you made my day :]
Thanks
Thanks works perfectly on my T-Mobile wing
This worked on my Fuze too. It is a big help.

There are cab extractors I'm sure that could be used on it, but otherwise I wouldn't have a clue, I just saved it from another thread. I couldn't find the thread, so I just attached the cab I'd saved.

Unzip it was WinRAR and have a look at the _setup.xml.
Or try a product like WinCE CAB Manager, or any other good cab creation software
Or just google, creating CAB files, there's lots of suggestions

IE vs. Opera
So I have tried switching OPERA TO IE on

Hi Just a question.
Can you uninstall the app once it has set IE back to the default? Will this leave IE as the default?
thanks
[thanks its working
thanks
thanks it is working
Sorry if this is a newb question. It's working with email links, but how do I change the HTC touchflo settings to make IE the browser that is invoked from the touchflo menu at the bottom of the screen? I can't seen any touchflo settings besides the thing about sounds when finger scrolling, etc.

I've wasting my time looking for a solution for this, as just making an association ended up in infinite loop! (this Microsoft sh*t!), but your program solved it!!!

This worked on my HTC Touch Pro and my HTC Touch Pro II ...Opera just isn't ready to be the default browser. Too much overhead, its just too slow (even on the Touch Pro II) and I just cant count on it for viewing web pages consistantly like I can with IE. One day I will be able to watch a YouTube video on my Windows Mobile phone ...still waiting for that day. The Droid certainly is a fast bugger and can you tube but between the keyboard and the excessive power usage ...and quite honestly lack of application support ...I am sticking with Windows for now. This little fix made my life much better. Thanks again.
After upgrading my kaisers os to a new cooked WM6.1 with manilla 2d on it, I no longer had room on my today screen for batterystatus. So, I decided to try out batti since it seems to be so popular as a battery indicator only to find that it puts a nice little battery % indicator right in the same spot as HTC task manager puts the x button. Since I find task manager to be slightly more useful than batti I decided to remove batti. The problem is is that even though batti has been removed and I searched through my registry and removed all leftover registry keys for batti, the % indicator is still there. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it?
Personally, I would open up the batti cab file and take a look at exactly what files and registry entries batti creates to make sure they're all gone. One registry entry that I can think to look at is HKLM\Security\ResOver\Bitmap\ and hunt down the dll listed there and see. Also, I'm sure you have soft reset since removing, but I'll throw it out there just in case.

Using "MSCEInf" will help you to find what was installed by the cab.
Thanks for the reply's. I did try opening up the cab and checking what registry entries were made, but didn't find any others other than the ones I had already deleted. Unfortunately I already gave up and just opted for a hard reset.
Hmm, Batti doesn't put such a thing here. Are you sure it's not another program doing it, like quickmenu?

No wonder I couldn't get rid of the thing. I didn't realize quick menu put that there. I wish I had known that before I did a hard reset and had to reinstall everything. Thanks for letting me know though, I won't install quickmenu again.
