Unneccesary startup items...

[UK badboy]

Does anyone know if any of the items in my starup folder are unneccesary as my XDA II seems to be running really slowly:

Aflashman.lnk
Battery Monitor.lnk
BPinsert.lnk
BTIcon.lnk
CFlashMan.lnk
CheckAutoRun.lnk
HandsFree.lnk
IA_Caller_ID.lnk
MMReg.lnk
MultiIE.lnk
NFlashMan.lnk
poutlook.lnk
SMSreceiver.lnkstk.lnk
TFlashMan.lnk
USSD.lnk
VoiceCommand.lnk

There seems to be a lot here. Any ideas of what I could lose?

Look at www.ppcw.net (special story about it) or at www.tekguru.co.uk (last part of his review).

Your problem of running slow is probably due to a MS Mobile 2003 bug My I-mate was running really slow.

Download this freeware (both of them), install them and run them. I had over 500 entries in the database which I cleared with the util and it went to 9 The speed of my Imate returned to normal.

Hope that helps....

Thanx drj bro! I had 830!!! Down to 11 after running app. My XDAII is running real smooth now. The second app says its only trial though....

Your welcome...glad it worked!

It will build up over time and as you soft reset. Just run the util every once and a while and all should be well.

Thanks from me too! I had my alarms fail, which made me oversleep, which could have been very embarrassing on any other night as the bands I drive rely on me getting them to the next gig on time.
I installed this freeware which seems to have (a) cleared a lot of unwanted dross & (b) sorted out my alarm problem (I think!)
I also use the very useful pocket alarm from Burr Oak Software, check it out here:-

My Australia i-Mate came with a whole bunch of Telstra customisations. I would actually like to get rid of these because they interfere with telephone functionality (e.g replaces caller ID with a telstra logo!).

However I am unable to delete the Telstra setup files using File Explorer. Anybody have any ideas how to do it?
