got my new Dell X3i this week, and started downloading programs last night. I downloaded Warring States and it didn't work because I moved it into the Games folder in using Windows Explorer. When I uninstalled, the shortcut icon in the programs folder was still there. It was now a dead link. I cannot delete it, it does not show up in the stupid file explorer or on my PC looking at the explorer. I also downloaded Vindigo and it asked me if I wanted a shortcut installed. It installed two shortcuts. Neither deletable. I did a hard restart. I installed Warring States again, but now was told I was missing visual basic runtime (something for WinCE?).

I uninstalled it and once again I have the shortcut stuck.

What do I do to remove these shortcuts, other than a hard restart?

Are you looking in the right place???

Use file explorer (on the Pocket PC)...

Look in "My Device", "Windows", "Start Menu"...

They should be listed there, just delete them...
