Sorry - but can´t you delete it simply??
For me it works with all .ink in the startup folder - that i don´t need.

if you simply delete the .lnk while the program is running it will re-create the .lnk, you have to get a task manager that shows the hidden processes and kill both instances myfav and then delete the shortcut ........................ and that should do it

worked like a charm, thank you.

Or you can run this little cab, it will give you an error on boot that the application does not exist. then you can delete the link out of your startup folder. Easy as pie.....

CAB file problem

I have installed a version of Opera that came in a CAB file, the problem is I want to remove it but it dose not appear in the Add/Remove programs list, I can see the folder under /windows, how do i go about removing it completely including the start menu shortcuts ect without just deleting it
any help appreciated
cheers
Andy

easiest way would be to delete the opera folder plus any shortcuts tbh

how to access windows folder in Vista device center 6.1
in active sync 4.5 it was easy

Open Windows Explorer. Press ALT. You'll see a menu. Press Tools -> Folder Options. Go to the View tab. Uncheck Hide protected operating system files and also chose Show hidden files and folders. Press OK.
Now you'll be able to see the Windows folder on your PDA.

Removing Program/Removing Icon

I recently downloaded realplayer one to my Tilt but decided that I really did not need it after i downloaded it so i removed the program but the icon for realplayer is still on my programs list. How can i remove the icon?

Go to windows>start menu>program files and delete it from there.

Yea i've deleted the folder from program files but the icon still appears when i go to start menu>programs

Open file explorer, go to My Device, then go to windows>start menu>programs, and delete it from here. the 'program files' is a different area.
Note: using the remove programs (settings > system > remove programs) option would have probably done this all for you.

Thanx. I jus removed it through the 1st option u mentioned.
And i did actually use the remove programs option 1st but the icon still remained

This is common when you rearrange your start menu... since the start menu .ink file is not in it's original location.. the remove program option won't take out the link

missing program shortcuts in Program Folder

If they are in the start menu, then they are not in Program by default. You can probably copy the shortcut from:
\Windows\Start Menu\
to:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\

I use Total Commander. Theres an option on the "File" menu under >>>>>
In File Explorer, Copy the exe and then do Menu, Edit, Paste Shortcut and rename it.
Thanks

Or if you are lucky some nice person might come along and feel sorry for you and generously give you the answer.
Still lurking, Dave.
