Okay, Here's A Quick Question For You...
I was tweaking some of my Pocket PC applications today, adding a couple, deleting a couple, and so on. Every time I tapped on Remove Programs, I had to scroll and scroll and search and search, just to find the desired entry! I soon realized I must have WAY too many applications installed on my everyday Pocket PC.
I took a quick count and -- MAN! -- I have 72 entries! That has GOT to be the definition of overkill!
But maybe I'm not all that atypical... How many entries do YOU have in your Remove Programs list?

I have got 20 in my remove list although I have another 60 not on the list (most programs have been 'uninstalled' but still work straight from the memory card).

"only" 62 entries - all installed. No wonder it takes forever when I do a soft reset.

70 on mine that show up on the remove list and who knows how many direct installs and just the executable on flash cards (33 programs on SD, and 16 on CF card) guess I need to clear it out and start with what I actually still use!!!!!!

I didn't count, but, I have several that show-up on the list that aren't installed any longer -- and that won't delete from the list no matter how many times I delete them.
Why won't these damn things die????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been on a adding spree lately because I just switched over from the Treo 600 to my HP 2215 as my daily PDA. I might just need to get a stand-alone utility for adding / deleting programs to make sure all the errant code is mopped-up when I uninstall the programs that don't make the cut.
