Yup, easy!
Using File Explorer go to Windows/Start Menu, then either into Programs or Settings and simply delete the lnk files for the program icons that you want to lose. Alternatively you can create a folder in either Programs or Settings called say, "Others" and cut and paste all the disused lnk files into it. This way you don't lose all the original links (sometimes hard to recreate them all, if you need them subsequently!).

thanks
thanks ... this is what i used from xda community.
fast and right answer
i got my answer, thread can be closed.

CAB to install Office Mobile 2007 onto your storage card (free up some device memory)

I wanted to free up more device memory, but the Office 2007 CABs (I could find) would only install to the device. So I edited the CAB I had, to give you the choice (device or storage card).
It seems to work OK. The shortcuts, on the start menu, weren't pointing to the new location... but I think I have fixed that. Not sure what happens on non-english devices.
The bugbears I have found are;
Hitting the new button in Word generates an error. I think it is because the default template is in the wrong place. So if anyone can shed some light on that, I would be grateful. It's not a biggie tho' I just created a document called "blank.doc" and open that instead.
And the File Associations are pointing to the old location. I edited the registry changes in the CAB, but I screwed up (it couldn't handle the space in 'Storage Card'... hmmm). So I went back to the earlier version, and you have to edit the file associations manually. #
Is anyone willing to lend me a brain cell here?
I'm sure someone will come along now and say, "there is already a CAB that does this".... but I did spend two days looking for one!
Here it is anyway,
LINK REMOVED, see the much better CAB below

there are 3 cases for for software on PDA devices:
applications that are cooked with the ROM installed on your device (in this situation you can not uninstall these applications)
applications that installed as a part of the post-flash customization.
applications that you install yourself
for the 2nd and 3rd situation you may go to "Settings/[Tab: System] Remove Programs" if you want to know which programs are installed on your device and from there you can uninstall the programs that you don't need.
I hope this was a kind of useful for you and it answered your question.
Thanks for replay mate,my case is # applications that are cooked with the ROM installed on your device (in this situation you can not uninstall these applications)so,can't do anything.

other than changing to another ROM (without Office cooked in)... there's a fair choice!
I'll just point out that this cab breaks the finger friendly menus in 6.5.3 File Explorer...

WelcomeCenter Error!

Hi.
After I upgraded my T-Mobile Dash from WM6.0 to Kavana's latest WM6.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374890), I can't use "Getting Started icon (WelcomeCenter.exe)."
When I try to run it, it shows an error "PlatformNotSupportedException."
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks.

I don't think you need it, best bet, install chome configurator and hide that panel. If you need to remove the icon from start menu, you should be able to go to \windows\start menu and delete the link.

thanks, i couldn't remember the reg entry for hiding it.
Thanks. I will just remove it and use CHome.
However, it is strange why "Kavana (someone's nickname, right?)" included "WelcomeCenter/Getting Started" in his/her Dash ROM update that will not work on Dash.
By the way, for CHome, there are many files. Two .cab files and three .zip files. I know what "CHomeConfig.cab" is, but what are "IconPack" and "Ricky ROM" for?

ChomeConfig does not work on my Dash. It shows the same error as WelcomeCenter.
I wonder why.
My guess is that the locale is not English, would it cause this problem?

Rickys rom is another 6.1 rom like kavana's. The iconpack is probably(I'm guessing since I don't know where you found it) the iconpack for chome configurator so you have more options to choose from for the custom icons. And I believe that welcome center works on dash, kavana might have just removed or moved some files that it is looking for.

[TUT] How to change the Internet Globe Icon

Hi all,
I have had a couple of questions on how to change the globe on the internet tab from the globe to a pic of your choosing.
I have attached the files you need. All you need to do is Create 2 png pictures that are 512x256 and name them the same as in the files.
Once you have done this copy them onto your device,turn off touchflo and drop them along with the mainla file into your windows directory using total commander (or similar) and restart touchflo and hey presto your very own internet icon.
Have fun
works great!!
I made a nice Opera logo, maybe someone likes to use it.
Can't find a good screen capture program, just try it.
You have to copy all three files to the windows directory using total commander or other.
EDIT: found screen capture program, so now included
very nice
Hope to see a few more of these on here. People have been looking but no one has replied.

Hi... I like your internet glob. Can you make it into a cab file? I am very bad at this so far so would be great.
Thanks in advance
Hi , sorry to trouble you but could you or anyone please upload the stock 'Internet tab Globe' icon for me ? My operator decided to use its own logo for the Launch Browser icon and it looks quite terrible
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately this does not work on my German O2 stock rom.
They probably use another manila file for selecting the image on the internet tab.
I have to investigate further...
Here try this Cab File.

I have to edit a file in \Application Data\Manila which holds the information about banner and operator links.
Thanks anyway for the information in this thread
BTW: You can add a property Text to the Banner node to display a heading under the banner icon
Many thanks to David. I've customised my Internet globe.
I 'emptied' the Youtube text as well as picture reference fields in your attached XML. So nothing shows. Hmm, now I am wondering how I can incorporate another program icon to be exact ...
remove the globe
Thanks for the tutorial, but to me the globe is useless, i would like to start at the tab with only my favorites and no globe at all; so is it possible to fully remove the globe?
I dont know. It might be possible but due to way TF3D uses the Mainla files you would have to modify it in such a way that it doesn't know there should be anything there and that it going waaay above my head.
It's not as simple as deleting the file you might actually have to change the more progamming but i'm sure someone could help

You just need to delete the "Banner" node (i.e. everything between and including "<Banner [...] />", without the quotes.).

Just played around and found I could remove youtube icon. All I did was to delete the everything within <OperatorLinks>.
Dear friend, after i have copied the 2 png pictures to the manila file, turn off and restart the TFL3D, the globe ico remain unchange. Would you give me more detail on how to fix it. By the way, there are two files named InternetPortal and InternetPortal-zh-CN, anything i need to do about that? thanks.

Would help if I could find the folder \Application Data\Manila\ , let alone the file InternetPortal-en-gb.xml. It is most vexing!
BTW
I am using Total Commander on an OrangeUK 1.14 ROM Touch HD
EDIT

Nevermind, I did a bit more forum searching and found the right file to edit.
It is 27c65cbd_manila in \windows\ (for me anyway)

Start menu problems

I have encountered another problem. I made the ervius package and had the initflashes.txt. I did everything but when I start the phone, the only shortcut I can find is in the startmenu -> Programs and thats one of the places where I wanted it,but, I also want it in the startmenu and its not coming there. I think its not working because u can only put 7 items and I dont know how to remove one item and plug in my software shortcut..
HELP ME OUT!!!
hello,
you write "... initflashes.txt" --> i think, you mean your own packeges/programs.
have a look to OEM_Lang_0xxx-folder. you find there a file "initflashes.dat"
edit this file without wordwrap. this is the file, where the folder-structur will generate and some registries for one time ... and the startmenu.

If you go into windows and delete the file and then soft reset it gets replaced with an original from the root of the ROM.

You may not like it but a hard reset would be your option. There may be differences with other peoples ROM which could cause more problems than you want.
