how to remove dead icons off pocket pc menu?

[annyksa]

Hello all, i have an annoying problem, i installed a few new programs on the imate kjam and i uninstalled them but the icons are still there and of course don;t work, i tried everything to remove these. i went thru activsync to explore and didn;t see most of the dead icons, but i did see one program and i tried to delete it, but it very loudly and rudely denied me access to remove it! that was pocketdivx, netfront is still there, yahoo, and they just won;t leave, any ideas on how to get rid of these? i went to settings and remove programs, removed them, but the icons are still there, thanks in advance

Launch File Explorer, and navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Locate the icons you wish to remove, tap-and-hold on them, and select Delete.

Any luck?

That simple, huh? Boy, I wish I had thought of that. I've been trying to figure out where in the registry they were located.

One thing to note, you have to tap-and-hold the program's name and not the icon itself. If you tap-and-hold the icon, it won't bring up the menu selection; but instead will try to launch the program.

Thanks for helping me! And thanks annyksa for asking the queston!

Right. I guess this was a case of semantics. Since the topic was asking about icons, I mentioned icons. :lol: Of course, with any file in File Explorer, when it comes to tapping-and-holding, doing so on the file name is the way to go.
