By accident there is a hidden link (for Today) was created in the \windows\Start Menu folder. I could not view the link also. But in the start menu it show Today as a first link. I think the link (.lnk) was a hidden & system attribute. How can i remove the .lnk file?
Moreover when i click on that Today - that was not working

Have you tried to deleted it with Total Commander? I believe this program shows hidden files so deleting them would be easy while using this.
No use with Total Commander
Im tried that also, but no use

I screwed up my camera.lnk file trying to change the properties so that it is not hidden. Could somebody please post it so that I do not need to do a fresh install? Thanks in advance. It is in the Windows directory.
if you copy the actual camera.exe you can paste it as a shortcut, thus creating "camera.lnk"

To create a shortcut, right click the file and choose create shortcut. the way i do it is plug the phone into the computer browse to it via the activesync window and then right click and choose create shortcut.
That was my first thought as well, but when I search for the camera ap, I can't find it (camera.exe does not exist).

oh shoot... i forgot in the orwells version that camera.exe is hidden. you would have to use total commander to view the hidden camera.exe then change the attributes and make it visible and then copy to make the shortcut file.
my mistake

Do you know what directory it is in? It does not seem to be in the Windows directory.

Cool. Do you have a link to Faria's camera app?
I have the same problem. I have camera.lnk but no camera.exe.
Checked where the camera.lnk points. It points to pimg.exe which brings the pictures and videos screen.
Does any one have camera.exe?

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.....
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
i just noticed that i have a few programs installed that are not showing up then i go to Start>Programs.
these missing programs are working fine but i have to access them from shortcuts on the today screen or the start menu. is there a way to create shortcuts for these programs in the 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
Dave
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.

create it/them
e.g. in tc go to \Windows\Start Menu\ and create the new folder/folders/sub-folders as you need them, then create *.lnk files of your progs in it/them
ok...thnx...it works.....thnx....

What he means by that is that you need to create a shortcut. As simple as that.

it absolutely does
I have to translate to English, but in your Explorer it should be like:
Mobile Device - My windows mobile-based device - Windows ...
that doesnt show all the files though

sure?
can you pls add an example? after a very quick see-through I'm inclined to disagree
maybe you should check the following setting in your windows explorer:
Tools - Folder Options... - View (tab) - Files and Folders - Display xxx... option settings, maybe something required is unchecked there
