i have a crazy question, how do you remove programs when none show up in add/remove programs? there are programs that i dont use annd want to remove and others i want to update..
You can use Total Commander for pocket pc's (google it, it's free).
Just find the software in \Program fileles\ or in \Internal Storage\Program Files\ and erase the files.
The programs list is in \windows\start menu\programs\ and you can erase the program icon from there.
hope this helps.

anyone who help me?
anyone know of an program uninstaller...there's a program that i've uninstalled/removed from my phone, but there's still icons and other things sitting in some of the directories of my phone. i remember seeing something around here in the wizard or kaiser forum. i've searched for removal, remover and uninstall/uninstaller but i can't find a thing. even tried downloads.com since they have a lot of pocketpc apps.
thanx in advance
PS
those that are quick to jump the gun, "Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Remove Programs" is not removing the icon....
Why can't you manually delete these icons if they don't point to anything?
if there's a way to delete the icon from the programs menu, and start menu manually...do tell. otherwise, i think i'll just use that program. i know its out there, i used it on my 8125
\Windows\Start Menu and deeper

oooh unfortunatly im having same problem, been looking and have tried many programs to remove un wanted icons and programs but it doesn't work any one has got any un-installer programs pls......................what is deeper by the way?..........................
thanks
open \Windows\Start Menu
and then go into directory that icon is and delete it
program shortcuts in the start\programs menu are all from the windows folder:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
If the uninstaller doesn't remove the shortcut from that folder, you can delete it yourself.
Invad Shortcuts
In case you guys have still not been able to remove the invalid shortcuts use Pocket Mechanic Professional. It has an option which find and hekps u delete invalid shortcuts.
The App "MemMaid" will clean unused shortcuts, dead registries among other things..
Link in my signature. FYI, this app is not free...
Hi,
I just installed SKTools and tried to free up some memory. After I ran it and it "cleaned" up certain things - I noticed that I lost my whole Java section on the phone.
The java section meaning the application needed to launch the various Java apps.
I really don't use the many Java apps, the only one I use on a daily basis is the Gmail app for Java.
How do I get this feature back...
help!
Recreate your java.exe shortcut from \Windows into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
and DON'T USE SKTools to clean ever again.
If this is too hard to figure out, hard-reset.
thanks i will try this immediately

oh okay thanks...
This happened to me too but no need to panic. All SK Tools does is remove the shortcut as it sees it as a "redundant" shortcut for some reason. SKTools has probably removed some other shortcuts too which you will only realise when you need to run that particular app!!!
I use Total Commander v2.5 (Freeware & latest version) to recreate shortcut. You need to make all files in ROM visible first in Total Commander, then you go to Windows and find the java executable and create a shortcut which you then place in the Windows/Start/Programs directory.
VOILA!!
This sould sort it out.
NEVER use SKTools to do a system "clean" as this will always happen.
I know at least one of you have installed a program before on your Kaiser/Smartphone that wasn't able to be found in the "Remove Programs" option under settings.
I'm havin' this problem with a program called "TopOCR-Mobile LE."
It was an .exe file that had to be installed on the device. So I did, and now I can't seem to remove it. I deleted the .exe under program files, but the blank icons still remain (there's two of them 'cause I thought I could be smart and run the .exe twice and it'd ask if I would want to remove the program; it didn't - instead it just installed it TWICE).
Is there a way to remove those icons? I already used Regedit's and Total Commander's search features, but I couldn't find any files with the name "topocr" or "mtopocr" (it's installation name).
What are my options (besides throwing my Kaiser against the wall or hard resetting)?
Have you tryed to remove via active sync tools? If not in add remove programs and you think you got rid of it then go to Start Menu\Programs with Total Commander and delete the .lnk's
You could also look under HKLM\Software & HKu\Software to see if any REG left over.
Please be careful as we all know how the REG can be a dangerous place
If the icon you are speaking of is a shortcut under the Start Menu, or under Programs, then just browse to \Windows\Start Menu or \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete that .lnk file like stylez said.
Thanks guys. Removing the .lnk files got rid of it.
i am new to my fuze and have beeen messing with a few things.
now i dont know exactly when this folder appeared in my programs list but i know it wasnt there before i did a registry tweak (to remove the startup.gif/startup.wav) with total commander, any ideas?
the folder is filled with all my program files, same thing as if you open up file explorer.
