Today Screen and Icons

fsman · #1 (**permalink**) 09-22-2003, 09:54 PM

I recently moved some programs from the "main" memory of my Amim to my SD card. Of course, the Today screen icons for these programs refer to the path of the "main" memory. Is there any way to delete these icons and replace with icons refering to the new path?

I've run into SOME problems with this. My case is a bit different. My case involves having programs installed to my SD card, and then having to do a hard reset on the device. I still have the programs on the SD card, and I am able to run them, yet, sometimes their shortcut icons don't have the associated application icon to go along with it on the Start Menu.

Try exploring while synched; you should be able to create any folders or shortcuts you want and put them in the Windows/Start Menu folder of the PPC. :music:

Or on the PPC, use File Explorer to find the program, highlight and choose Copy, then go to folder where shortcut needs to be and choose Paste Shortcut. :music:

The shortcut folder that you are looking for is in the windows>shortcuts>main.

If the icons do not show up in the folder when opened normaly then the .ink file did not transfer to the other folder it needs to be in. Manually do this in windows>start menu>programs. Copy the .ink file to this folder also. You should have no problems after that.

Post with results.

Good luck!!

I thought you were talking about shortcut files, not folders.

Hello, My question is, When I had my Axim running good. in the Today screen , I could have contacts, owner info tasks, calender and inbox. After installing plug-ins for the today screen and other programs, they are no longer there. I went to windows, shortcuts, start menu, etc and cannot find them. I went to windows shortcuts, main and they are there, but they wont show up on the today select item list. I cannot even find a folder or such that has the ones that are in there now. Where is this folder at? Please help me. Thanks

First off, what 3rd party plugins are u using. Second they need to be in BOTH folders for the icon to show up.
