Getting a program on the start/programs menu

[bsyyy]

For some reason my Internet Explorer program never appeared on the
start menu or in the programs folder. Every time I want to open it I need
to use file explorer and open it from the folder. Does anyone know how I
get it into the program folder? I've even tried cut and paste but can't.

thanks

Start > Settings > Menus* > [x] Internet Explorer
?

Internet Explorer doesn't appear as an item to be checked. That's my problem.

ah

Start > Programs > File Explorer
browse for "iexplore.exe"
tap and hold on "iexplore.exe", then choose "Copy" from the popup.
browse to Windows\Start Menu\Programs
choose Menu, then Edit, then Paste Shortcut
rename the shortcut to just "Internet Explorer".

You'll then find IE in Start > Programs > Internet Explorer
And you'll also find it in that list to add it to the Start Menu.

Thanks for the idea but unfortunately it didn't work. I have tried the copy-paste idea on the xda and I get the message "Cannot copy 'iexplore': Executable and resource files in ROM cannot be copied."

If I try to do the copy-paste thing through the PC the "iexplore" file doesn't even show in the place I can clearly see it in the windows folder on the xda!

It's got me stumped.

cheers, Brett

Those phpBB errors are getting quite annoying.

Silly protectionisms in Windows Mobile...

Try the attached file - it contains a shortcut to IE. Just place the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ - should do the trick.

Thanks ZeBoxx. Worked a treat.
