Can you show us a screen shot of what you want remove and where it is. The Menu will hold a group of the last Five programs used in the Menu.
i disabled the "recent" listing.. "softset" disappeared also..
i didnt realize what was going on..
thanx for the replies

Silly question...
...but have you tried a soft reset?
Open windows explorer and navigate to \Windows\Start Menu. Do you have 2 folders called "Programs" and "Settings"?
If the settings folder is missing, just create a new folder and name it Settings then soft reset. Your settings menu under Start Menu should then magically return!
If you have both folders already, then I have no idea whatsoever why your settings menu under start has disappeared! Someone else will be along shortly to assist!

Thanks a lot Steve... that did the job!!! First it failed, made the folder Settings but it disappeared after a soft reset.... Then I realized... I have a Dutch OS.. (hate it) so created a folder Instellingen.... And... voila... have my settings back.
Thanks again.

I helped someone, and learned a foreign word! So a cool day all round
I did the very same thing once. Not nice the blind panic feeling is it?!
Thanks for letting us know it worked!
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.

np we r all here to help each other.
Is there a registry key (and if so, what is it) that limits the number of programs shown on the start menu?
I want to be able to add a few more as there is room.
Thanks
PS Using AT&T Tilt with factory ROM.

U can try quickmenu 2.7. Its a lot better then the standart start menu.
7 items on the start menu
Thanks, but I am looking for a regsitry key, etc. I am not interested in running an other application as I have one (Wisbar Advance) that I like.
Hi, I'm interesting too with this thread. Did you ready know how to put some more items on start menu? Is there any possibilities to do this without installing other softwares?
7 items on the start menu
I dont know how to do this. I would think there must be a way, but I cant find it on Google.

LOL. Copy the link that are in your Windows/Start Menu/Pograms folder to your /Windows/Start Menu. There they shall appear
7 items
Yes, but I want to do it the 'right way' for a couple of reasons that dont matter here.
That is, from teh GUI interface, where you select what ites you wan tto appear. When you have 7 selected, when you then select another one (8), you get an error prompt stating only 7 can be added.
This has to be a registry key, I would think.
I'm sorry if this has already been asked: when you scroll to the right-most tab of TF3D, then press the left softkey for "All Programs," you are presented with an Iphone looking scroll list of programs. I've just installed a program (moBlue) that is not appearing in this list for some reason. If I go to Programs from the Start menu, it's there.
Does anyone know what file/folder in WinMo has the apps that are shown in that scrolling list? If I can find that, I'll just add it manually.
Check on bottom of that list...sometimes the program is located on bottom of list. i don't know why

You're right! Thanks Whitecell.
I wonder why that is? It doesn't make sense. I wonder if there is a hack or regedit to re-order them. I definitely prefer alphabetical order!
Programs starting with a lowercase letter will be at the bottom of the list, after all programs starting with an uppercase letter.
This is the case for "moBlue".
Ahh I see. So it seems then all I have to do is change the filename?

Yes, find the shortcut in the Start Menu directory (\Windows\Start Menu\Programs) and rename it. Make sure the first letter is uppercase. That will do it.
Yep, that did it! Thanks Snark!
I loaded a program on my Diamond and added it to my menu. Didn't like the program so I deleted it but it still shows on drop down menu and it won't let me uncheck it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Check \Windows\Start Menu folder
Sweet!
Well that was easy, thanks!
You are welcome
ok
Do you know how to get TF3D to work? I just get a error message when I try to launch it. Is there another program that lets you take off tabs on touchflo?
Thanks again
