View Full Version : Double entries in Manila's program launcher

I have a few double entries (all functional) in Manila's program launcher (see pic) and want to get rid of them. Looking for the respective links, I didn't find any double entries in the Windows/Start menu. Also, the standard windows program launcher does not have any double entries.

Where, the heck, does Manila store the list of entries of its program launcher, and how to rebuild it? It looks like it must have cached these links from old installations somwhere. Soft reset and restart of tf3d didn't help, either.

In the registry, I found the list of "favourites" (HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher), but no key for the complete list of programs (where you choose from to add to the "favourites" which comes up when you hit the program tab in tf3d).

A more detaield description can be found here: http://forum.thumbapps.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=110

Any clue?

Using a file explorer check the "\Windows\Start Menu" (or whatever it's called in German) folder for double entries. Check subdirectories too!

I think this is where Manila gets those entries.

Thats the first thing I did (as pointed out in the post). No double entries there.

But I discovered another thing: The links concerned are also in the Start menu (once). If I want to remove them (Settings...menu)..I get an error message "Element can not be moved".

Sorry I missed that in your post, oops.

What about \Windows\AppMgr, can you delete the program that won't uninstall from there?

Yes, installing and uninstalling is no problem.

But what I discovered: the problem seems to be related to the manila patcher. I used manila patcher to replace the launch of the standard calender by Thumbcal. Now I deleted that patch and rebuilt it. That also resorted the program list, but didn't take care of the double entries, nor of the problem that the entry in the start menu cannot be deleted.

I found a solution to this problem. It occurred to me too, when I was organizing the startmenu by creating folders. Accidentally I copied one link to the folder, so the original remained. In this situation Manila gathers the links that are in the startmenu and displays them in the all programms list in TouchFLO 3D.
So if a programm is double entry, the .lnk exists twice in the windows startmenu.

^^ Where can you find the files?
