Residual program icons

[FredR]

I have removed several programs from my Axim X51v. The programs screen now has icons that bear the names of the programs I removed. A soft reset did not remove these residual icons. I have backed everything up on my 1 gig SD card. How can I remove these residual icons? Thanks.

Hi,

Follow this thread on Program Removal.

Removal of program???

Thanks for the idea. I don't think it solves the problem.
Do I begin at MY COMPUTER on this laptop, the to MOBILE DEVICE icon> MY WINDOWS MOBILE-BASED DEVICE>PROGRAM FILES? When I follow that path, I cannot locate any of the named programs I have deleted from the Axim.
Starting at EXPLORE on the ACTVESYNC panel on the laptop does the same thing.
Where have I gone wrong?

All Start menu program icons are located in /Mobile Device/Windows/Start Menu. Inside the folder Start Menu you will see the icons that appear directly in the Start Menu. You will also see the Settings and Programs folders, which contain the icons you are trying to delete.

I find it very useful to create subdirectories in the Programs folder to organize programs when I have a multiplicity of them installed.

It doesn't work bcos you are doing it in the wrong place (desktop/laptop).

The instructions refers to the AXIM X51V; not the desktop or laptop.

I repeat. Go to your Axim. Axim use File Explorer. To use File Explorer from Axim:
Start > Explorer.

When you run File Explorer from Axim, select My Device folder. The instructions assumed you know how to start File Explorer.
Most users don't like it when you include instructions on how to start File Explorer, that's why it is omitted.

Here is the instructions again.

Line 1 means:
From File Explorer;
select "My Device" folder;
then select "Windows" folder;
then select "Start Menu" folder;
then select "Programs" folder;

1. My Device > Windows > Start Menu > Programs
2. Look for your program name (calc99). In Explorer, you won't see the filename extension which is *.lnk.
3. Delete it (hold down stylus & select Delete). It will not show up in the Program group.

Step 3 does the actual deletion of the icon. Delete whatever you don't need.

Let me know if it is still not clear.
