It's really irritating. On my Tmobile HTC TP2, I added Morphgear to my start menu. I also added the games folder. The morphgear application glitched and had to be reinstalled. Now there's two phantom icons on my start menu that "Cannot Be Moved" off of the start menu through the Menu settings. Is there anyway to manually override this dumb glitch and DELETE these two ghost icons from my start menu?
go to \Windows\Start Menu & delete them.
Everytime I try to open the Windows folder through the Active Sync explorer, the explorer goes unresponsive. Is there an alternate way to access the Windows files?
Use a program called total commander. Keep in mind to be patient, the windows folder takes a while to load.
even through active sync it will hang, but just let it keep thinking, it will eventually show everything there.

Hi all,
Just received my XDAIIs. Overall impression so far is good. One thing I can't stand though is the O2 Active software. I have never liked it. It was easy to disable this on my XDAII - I just moved the application from the Windows folder into a temp folder and did a soft reset. However on the IIs there is no O2 Active icon in the Windows folder so I'm unsure how I can disable. Any ideas?
Cheers

a good place to look for autostarted programs is \windows\autostart
I don't seem to have a \Windows\Autostart folder but I do have a \Windows\StartUp folder. Is that what you meant? The contents of that folder are:
aPerSaveStar
Camera_Dete...
CheckAutoRun
ChgDfLnk
Connections
cPerSaveStar
nPerSaveStar
poutlook
RegNotify
Run_BTTrayC...
STK
tPerSaveStar
I'm not really sure what any of these files does. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Cheers
Carlton
yeah thats was the dir i ment
what i would try was to copy all those files to your pc
and view them in a text editor to see what they point to
and so find out what they are and remove the one which point to that o2 thing
or if the program is installed from the extented rom i would think it would be possible to go to remove programs in system and find it there and then remove it untill your next hardreset (unless you remove it from the extented rom)
another path would be to get a registry editor and search and destroy it's settings
sorry i cant tell you 100% how to do it since i never had the program on my device
maybe somebody else will stumble across this thread knowing how to go about giving it the axe
connections is the link that starts the connections manager app. The o2 symbol in the middle top. Delete that from your startup and it will not start after a soft boot then.
Getting Rid of O2 Active
On first time installation or reistallation of the XDA -
Choose Corporate -
On the code wanted type in 0506 -
That should give you the Windows Pocket PC look back ...

no, tried that already. It's still starting. Is there a run section in the registry just like a dektop windows?
Looks like i got rid of it now. I removed the o2active shortcut from the windows startupscreen as well as removing "connections" in the windows/startup folder and rebooted for the second time.
I can actually keep the o2 battery indicator if i like. It doest seem to do any harm...yet.
Did I miss something here, why not just uninstall O2 active from the "remove programs" icon under settings (the program name is something along the lines of o2active_UI). It won't reappear after a soft reset then but will after a hard one.
It fails during unistall because of active files but yeah that should be possible if you manage to close all the active components first. But then you lose the battery plugin as well.
There are better battery plugins out there....
And fro my experience you could unisntall o2 active on an xda II while it was running, with a couple of folders being left over as a result... but with o2 active gone all the same...
thanks for the corporate code saks, just what I was after!
Anybody know which unlucky corporate client got their 0506 code leaked onto the web?
How the hell do you do it? - It not compatible with spb pocket plus.
If I attempt to uninstall it throws an error, saying it is running, but there is no process in the task manager to stop.
Help greatly appreciated.

to stop it from running, i've just deselected it from the today plugins (start / settings / today / items), which seems to have done the trick.
Thanks - but I am trying to get rid of the O2 icon on the top menu bar.
I can move it from left to right but not uninstall it!
Any ideas?
ok here is all you have to do goto the startup folder in windows directory and remove connections from the folder this will not remove active but will stop the anoying o2 icon personally i like the very simple battery indicator and the profiles so i kept it alternativly you can ditch the whole of active by hard reset and use the Coperate option the password is in another thread think if i remember it is 0506
just checked it is that ..
A perfect answer many thanks
right i had my ringtone set as something personal that i wanted - though i cant even remember how i did that as it was an option somewhere that moved the song its self anyway for some reason i cant use my own ringtones any more - every time that i try to select one it saves but then i open it again and its selected the last ringtone there is some windowsmobile one which i dont want
is it something that i have done?
how do i fix it?
could it be an application that i have used? i added the media player "Nitrogen" could that have affected it?
the apps i have installed:
TomTom Navigator
Southampton Navigator Map
Spb Mobile Shell 3, Weather, Keyboard, time, TV
Dusk comm mgr & misc
VolDeus MS3Config
Fingerkeyboard
HDTweak
changescreen
Nigrogen
could any of these affected it?
Right it seems that Nitrogen isnt the culprit as i uninstalled it and i still cant change ringtone back to what i had it as. i am also missing the option when holding down on a music file to set that as the ringtone i have no idea what i have done but im desperate need of some help
right i might be getting a bit closer - the Touch HD seems to think that all my audio files that i have on my memory card are windows files could this have something to do with it? and i keep coming back to Nitrogen i remember during the installation that it gave me a box to tick for MP3 now, which i ticked could that have something to do with this?
Not sure what you've done to lose the option in file explorer but a workaround is to copy the song/sound you want to the 'My Ringtones' folder which is located in the 'My Documents' folder.
You should then be able to go to the sounds settings and choose your song as a ringtone.
Good luck...

nope i have tried that as well. it wont let me use it from there either - i have them there i can select them it just wont use that song when the phone rings. i just copied a song over from my computer and even that didnt work - still goes back to one from the computer - im running out of ideas maybe im going to be forced to do a hard reset as a soft reset didnt do anything
right its fixed - it took a hard reset though
it happened to me as well
open nitrogen mp3 player
click options--- then settings---- then file associations
and clear the box for use nitrogen to open mp3 files
that causes the problem, i hope it works for you too.
Has anyone had this issue:
When calling notes, or the Voice Recorder app, or opening HTC Album, they take a very long time to become ready. The Album is usable but take 30-60seconds to populate the thumbnails, and the notes app just spins the wait icon for about the same time til its usable at all. It used to work fine...
I tried removing the storage card to see if its was the issue. Notes weren't ANY different, and the few wallpapers i had in internal storage still took longer than it should to show thumbnails.
Suggestions?
Well the problem was more extensive than I thought:
Every app that loaded a file browser, ex. Word/Excel/PPT/Voice Recorder/Notes/etc took a good 30-60 seconds to load and save, and to choose a new folder to browse.
The built-in "File explorer" responded normally and quickly. I had not installed the "file dialog changer" or the file explorer extension.
Turns out, it was the "expose Network folder to other programs" option in Resco File Explorer. I use it all the time to transfer stuff to and from my other machines, so its kind of annoying that either I have the network folder, or programs are speedy and usable. Don't remember this being an issue with my Touch Pro or my 6700.
I guess it timed out trying to search the network folder for various file types every time the file browser appeared in a program.
Hope this helps someone...
Yes, definitely. This did help me and probably saved me an awful lot of time.
So thank you very much for this hint!

I don't know what happened but I can not view DATA in my TF3D Communication Manager Tab. I did find a registry tweak to keep DATA on at all times - but that is no good for the long haul.
I also attempted to go to SETTINGS in the Windows Start Menu - and although the folder is in Windows/Start Menu/ - it doesn't appear here anymore. I'm using QUICKSTART as a work around - but fear I must be missing some other settings to get to the DATA being visible in CommMGR
