Hide unwanted icons in programs ?

[halftone]

I know i can delete some from Windows/Start Menu/Programs

The ones I want to hide, are things like, Getting Started, Internet Sharing, Messenger, O2, Resco Update, Voice Recorder, Voice Speed Dial,Windows Live and Worldcard mobile.

Im sure I had a program before that did it, but cant for the life of me, remember its name, or where I got it.

Preferably free, or just one with a trial so I can hide them and then uninstall it.

Cheers,

Tony

Use a program like Total Commander to remove the link you wish from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Total Commander is free and can be found here http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm

Best bet for this one is to read the WIKI and learn how to flash a cooked ROM. Choose one you like the looks of you and you will only have the apps on it that you like. plus you will get rid of all of that bloatware operators install as default :D

I flashed with the new HTC one, which removed all the O2 crap.

For some reason they didnt appear (the icons i wanted to delete) when i tried the first time in file explorer.

[livefastdiefun87]

so just to clarify you have flashed the new official ROM but still have the o2 progs on the phone?

Has it all been unlocked both SIM and CID and hard SPL'ed?

Sorry Im at bit of a loss as to how this has happened

yep, got the new rom, says 6.1 (previously 6) on startup screen, sms threading works, so its upgraded. all thats there of O2's is the program to get o2 settings. I think anyway.

Before i upgraded, i had a small O2 taskbar with a little O2 task manager, thats now gone.

I have had the phone a few days, and while briefly reading over the wiki, havnt had a good in depth read yet, so i have no idea how to check if its sim or cid free, or hard spl'ed.

I tried using hard spl, but got a white screen, so i followed a tutorial in another thread and it worked.

(And the 4th edit :) ) ... I assume it is sim/cid free, when i tried running the update utility the first time it said something along the lines of its not possible with that carrier.

[livefastdiefun87]

If it says not possible with carrier then to me it would suggest that it still is SIM locked search for OliPros SMI/CID unlocker and follow the instructions on that to unlock the handset. If it has been updated to WM6.1 and still having probs after you have followed all of these steps then these programs are more than likely cooked into that ROM so there is no physical way of uninstalling them as they are part of the OEM. But TBH you would be better off getting one of the cooked ROMs from our ROM section as they work a damn sight better than the official release and incluse much better apps

It 'said' not possible, then i used another app, which i deleted since and cant remember.

Then it updated fine.

I have now installed everything and re-set it up 3 times. I might wait a while before flashing to a custom rom. Its all the talk of radios that confuses me at the moment. Like i said, when i get chance, ill sit and read through everything properly.

lol I was the same when I first started but you will find that everyone on this forum will help you if you ask nicely. Also although the flashing sounds complicated its really as simple as dl the ROM and click a couple buttons on your PC.

BTW Welcome to XDA :D

Thanks :)

First chance i get ill sit down and read properly :)

Right, i think I have installed Duttys rom correctly.

Device information now says,

Rom Version : Dualtouch v6 WWE
ROM Date : 03/04/08
Radio Version : 1.65.16.25

SMS works, calls work, internet works, my only gripe so far is a slow boot time, it seems slower than before.

Now to install everything again for a 4th time :)
