Thanks for your reply. But half of my programs are not located in that folder so i can not even move them to the folder.
Please help, as they are totally unorganised and it is doing my head in. (Love your Work by the way)

Hope that this are the names as I have a german version.
Don't think it's "ROM Development"... and it's a double post => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408664
And finally, I think that mahsidi should make difference between the program, and a link to it. In Windows\Start Menu\Programs, you'll find only links. If a program that you install don't automaticly create a shortcut in this place, you'll have to create yourself : with Resco, go to the install folder of your prog, tap and hold on the .exe file and then, use the "Send to" fonction (the "Start Menu as Shortcut" item).
I have been terminating Voice command throuhg Celetask everytime I start my htc-s620 with wm6.1. Reason I do it is to free up memory. Id love to remove this voice command permanetly so, I dont have to worry about terminating voice command everytime i start the phone.
I tried searching. With no luck.
Is there a way to completely shut off this feature to free my memory up?
Please let me know.
Dude, using active sync....go to \windows\start up folder
delete the voice shortcut.
ok, well i went into my windows folder and i didnt find anything that was related to voicecommand.. Couldn't find the "startup" folder you were referring to either. Just program files, My documents, application data, mapi, connmgr, docs and settings

when you hit explore in active sync, go to tools > folder options. from there hit the view tab. then in that big list you see, hit the button next to "show hidden files and folders". hit ok. then do what mikey said.
What if you have windows vista and you do not have active sync but rather windows mobile device center.
Ummmm....you do know how to explorer your phone?!?!
Go into the \Start Up folder and delete the shortcut.
hey guys. Been busy lately and forgot to get back on here and update you guys.
I did figure out how to delete the file off my dash. Thanks everybody!
Now I opened a new topic about my skyfire beta not installing. Anyone who can help, check it out!
You guys are the best for helping. Top notch help here!

Is there a reg entry to disable recently used programs displayed in start menu?

Move all the shortcuts from the /windows/Start Menu/Programs to another folder and it will be done

But this wont be permanent will it? - i.e. I never want any listed at all.
When WM don't see any shortcuts in above folder, then it wont create recent programs list
Disabling recent programs in Start Menu
Does anyone have a registry fix for this. I don't want to loose everything from the Start Menu|Programs folder. I just want to permanently stop recently used programs showing in the start menu.

You will not loose anything if you create a folder (e.g. /Windows/Start Menu/Main) and move all your shortcuts inside 'Main'...

The result of this is that I have unused 'Recent Programs' and 'Programs' items on my Start menu and everytime I install a new program I have to manually move it to the 'Main' folder in order to disable recently used programs showing in the Start Menu.
There must be a more elegant registry solution to this.

Since today, I haven't heard for another way to manage it.
Hope that someone knows for a better solution.
Problem solved. Delete registry key (and all sub keys):HKCU-software- Microsoft - Shell - TaskSwitch.
Then soft reset device immediately, don't even close registry editor before resetting.
Viola!
Doh!
Ok, this only clears the recently used items list. It will repopulate.
Back to the drawing board.
I bit the bullet and purchased ($9.99) WisBar Advance 3. This does the job and has a number of other nice Start Menu related features. Works well with Dutty's Xtreme 2.3 ROM.
***removed duplicate post***
I installed a program called feather weather on my HD. It didn't install correctly so I reinstalled it.
Both times, it didn't work so I uninstalled it using "Remove Programs" in settings.
The problem is, it didn't remove the icons (there are two of them... the original one I installed and a copy)
I used a registry cleaner to no avail and went line by line through my registry editor but can't find anywhere anything about feather weather.
Where would I find the icons for them?
Thanks,
Mark
Windows > Start Menu > Programs
here you can remove it manually

Just to expand upon dreshah's post, use File Explorer to access those folders and just delete the .ico files.
Thanks guys.... I didn't know where the icon files were kept. Now I feel stupid.
MUCH APPRECIATED.

in explorer i go to windows start menu programs
