Orange SPV M5000 - Want to remove the Orange Today Bar

[DragonUK]

Can anyone tell me how to get the today screen back to the normal windows pocket pc today screen. Orange has put that bar of theirs on the left side of the screen. I have tried a few things to overide it but then it comes back up on the screen. How can I remove it or disable it.....


I want to use some pocket pc programs for the today screen but this orange bar overides the program.

cheers

What have you tried to remove it?

Presumably it's not shown in Settings > Personal > Today?
And \windows\start up?

:( Correct it does not work to disable the Orange Shortcuts Symbols on the Home Screen. I have in the shortcuts Contacts, Phone, Messaging, Calendar, Camera Expert Mode, Orange World on the Shortcuts Bar. I want to completely deactivate or remove it from the HTC. The problem I find is that if you go in the settings menu for today you cannot remove it.

Also when I did a hard reset the first time the screen was like it shows in the Windows Pocket PC Manual with the today screen. Orange seems to have put the overide settings in the rom of the unit when you boot-up the unit to show their tool bar symbols on the today screen.

I would like a an suggestion or fix in getting this removed since if I uses as a example a pocket PC battery program I can have full use of the program on my today screen. Currently the Orange seeting overide these setting to there own.

:) Tried a hard reset again and went into the today settings. well this time it worked. I quess there was a lockup somwhere in the software. Question is in the items section what is the today timeout check box used for?

Not sure I understand you but if you want to get rid of the Homescreen as Orange calls it go to:

Settings -> Today -> Appearance

and choose the Windows Default theme.

That will give you the standard windows start page.

If you do a search on these forums you will find most of the answers you need, it saves opening new threads all the time.
