Hello,
I've removed some programs from my Rose, but dead shortcuts were leaved...
How can I remove them?
Thanks.
Start
Open File Manager or File Explorer :: which ever one you have
\Windows\
\Windows\Start Menu\
Might also be \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Find the dead shortcut(s) [*.lnk]
Highlight it/them {using the D-Pad, obviously}
Press the Right-Softkey
Select 'File'
Scroll down to 'Delete'
Press OK
Verify
Viola!
I believe the above may vary per device and WinMo OS version. I verified these steps with a Motorola Q9c {WinMo 6.1 STD}

They will remove themselves. Just open other shortcuts and you will see the undelete-able one drop off.

This won't remove them from the Start Menu, itself.. only from the 'Recent Programs' list.
So I guess it depends on what the situation is. If the uninstalls didn't complete successfully, the shortcuts may have been left behind, though that is highly unlikely.
So @ranxy: If the dead shortcuts you're talking about are in your Recent Programs list, ritch123 is correct. Opening other programs will help knock the dead-shortcuts off the list, but if there are dead shortcuts in your Start Menu, follow my steps above.
It workz! XD
It works! Thank you!!

I have the softkey changer but I can't seem to find a link to sms. All I can find is tmail or something like that but thats leads to the messaging program. If anyone can give the exact location of the sms lnk that would be awesome.
You need to create a shortcut named SMS.lnk (or whatever you want to name it) with the following info inside of it:
24#\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS"
Copy this to your \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder. It will then show up as an option in the softkey app.
I realize that not everyone knows how to create a shortcut file, so I attached one for your convenience. You can unzip it and copy it to the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder on your phone.

As a quick note, using the google search in XDA forums is best. It's more likely to return favorable results. It's the first thread.
Isn't there a program out there thats in .cab form to change the dropdown menu to replicate the one thats on all these wm6.1 roms..?? I've been searchin for a little while and I cant even find the thread that talked about doing it let alone the actual file... Thanks in advance...
ok, well i found QuickMenu which seems to be pretty cool an works very well but it only activates when you click in the top left corner on the Windows Logo, well I lost my stylus an my fingers arent baby fingers so its kinda a pain without an object to click in the corner, is there anyway to make it where it activates by the "Start" section as well as with Windows Logo..??
You can go into Quick Menu Option, and check 'replace system menu' which will now bring quickmenu when you click window start button. You can also enable the option where 'long press' on the window start menu icon brings up the oem windows menu, and 'short press' brings up the quickmenu.
one of the .dll files was missing from the QMenu folder so when I tried to mess with settings it didn't let me but I reloaded it and now it let's me, thanks for readvising me... :thumbsup:
So I've been using QuickMenu for the longest time and I do love it,but I was wondering if there is a better Start Menu replacement that's more finger-friendly.
I have the HTC Touch, so I do realize it comes w/ the larger start menu already., but the program menu, when I choose to run a program, that program menu doesn't close automatically and I find that really annoying.
Plus, I'd like something that looks a lot slicker and utilize the finger gestures betters =D
Have you tried out ScrollLauncher? It's not a start menu replace, but it's a finger friendly program launcher. You just activate it and it lists all your programs on which you can finger flick up and down to see everything. A simple double tap launches the program. Maybe that will help a little.

Well, I'd like to have something to replace the start menu,so it needs to start when I hit the Start Menu icon, and have a similar structure to Quick Menu: Favorite programs, recent programs, Settings, and running programs, etc
Suggestion
Try:
HTC Enlarge Start Menu [eng]

A little CAB file that enlarges your start-menu for fingerfriendly use.
Will look as on the screenshot attached (thanks to google).

I already said that I have the HTC Touch with that Enlarge Start Menu. What I don't like is that when I go to programs and settings folder, and the folder doesn't automatically close after I choose to run an item from it. Plus, I'd like to have something more configurable and also shows running programs that I can close from there
wisbar lite or advance?

They aren't finger touch friendly. I'm thinking along the lines of Schap's TouchXperience, but without all his bells and whistles, more focused on replacing the Start Menu, Programs Menu, and Settings menu. Think of what you get in Quick Menu, but more finger friendly

Wisbar Advance 3 has touch friendly features. You just need to turn them on.
You can use a combination of MortButtons and FTouch.

Can you take a screenshot of this? I've looked around, but all the Wisbar start menu pics show a cascading menu that is not finger friendly

It would be nice to have one app that does this and does not require a finger gesture to launch the start menu; I just want to hit the Start Menu and have going it from there

With WisBar Advance, you can start any program when you tap the start menu icon or window title. Or even different ones. E.g., I've configured it so that it shows the Today screen for the "start menu icon" and a MortButtons menu with the window title. And the default menu is invoked by tap&hold on the title, so I've got a backup if a development version of MortButtons hangs...

Right, but Mortbuttons is not the ideal Start menu replacement. You'd have to put in everything you want to show in it, rather than it automatically showing what's under the Start Menu folder in your system. Plus, what about the Control Panel?
Imagine the Wisbar Advance cascading Start Menu but a lot more finger friendly. That's what I'm looking for

You can add both the start menu folder and the control panel as entries (CP requires new beta). So you can do a MortButton menu with your most used apps, and include "usual" start menu and control panel as submenus.
Do you know SKMenu?
I use it for some time and I'm happy with it.
It let you customize the menus, including start menu and control panel, and create other news.
Now, in the last version, it has a full sreen mode.
Diamond oem (on this forum) has packages for smart scroling and gestures
I have noticed considerable ease scroling windows and pushing buttons with my finger.
I still use QuickMenu 2.7 Is there a newer version?
.Big Tabbed Start Menu

Second one .. contain tabs for programmers folders when user click on any a down menu appear show Program Icons
a third part is for setting contain 3 tabs .. (Personal - System - Connection) When member click on any a menu appear contain the Icons ..somethng like this
I am also looking for something like this. I used wisbar, but since there are no nice VGA skins + it slows down the ppc a lot I am looking for an replacement. Anything new on this?
well all you guys want (as I do) is quickmenu..... with bigger font size.
Maybe someone could have a look into its dll see if something can be done.
Or email nanling (I think) to ask him to get a doubled version out ?
err I know it's been a while but if anyone's still interested, there's FdcSoft StartMenu
this menu is HUGE
Is it possible to put a folder shortcut in the quick links menu such as games folder or office mobile? It would be a lot more convenient to have just the folder instead of each game put up and would save space. I am using cookies home tab btw if that is important at all. I tried searching and didn't come up with anything useful.thanks for the help.

cheers.
you will need resco explorer for my solution.
1. navigate to the folder you want to add to quicklinks
2. long press on that folder to get a popup
3. select "send to" in the popup
4.at the bottom of the menu you will see "startmenu as a shortcut" choose that
5. go back to sense starting page and press "menu" on the lower right side
6. choose "edit quicklinks"
you will now see that the folder you want to add is already there
hope that helped...

How did you solve it???
I have the exact problem and can't find the place to delete quicklinks.
[also, I'm trying to remove stuff like Facebook, Stocks and Twitter from the taskbar].
If its a free link then follows the steps above......
if its in the grid then open the cht menu and select edit quicklinks...
By taskbar Im assuming you mean the slider....??
Go to your settings tab, select "personalise" then "home screen tabs"
Hi,
Sorry to bring this old thread up again.
Recenlty having problem on removing quicklink icon (on Energy ROM). Can't figure out how to delete one of the icon (shortcut) on quicklink page.
Just as schp98ls1b4c mentioned:
"if i click cht editor i get this Quick Links,Free Links,Pages and levels,softkeys,lockscreen,widget settings,applications,miscellaneous".
I can't find the menu as "CHTeditor, edit home screen, tap and hold on the quicklink...".
And also if I click on the Menu button at Home, it came out with menu of Set Wallpaper, CHTEditor, Edit Quick Links, Edit Home Layout, Weather demo.
If I select "Edit Quick Links", I can only move the icon around, but no way to delete it.
If I select Edit Home Layout -> Level 2 - Quick Links, I can only change the layout of the quicklink. If I tap and hold, a menu pop-up with Remove & other option. If I choose Remove here, it will actually remove the whole Quicklink Widget but not one of the icon there.
Anyone can help?
Found the solution already.
Actually is using Menu button at Home -> Edit Quick Links, then just tap the quicklink item once. The tapped item will be marked to be deleted after this. Previously keep using tap and hold, no wonder can't get the delete function.
