Have you ever uninstalled a program and found that it left a junky looking remnant on your program screen? It's happened to us all at one time or another. One of the more common questions I see among the newer users of Pocket PC devices is how to remove these "orphaned" shortcuts from their Program screens.
As you can see below, I installed a particular horrid fighting game based upon one of my most treasured treats. I don't know why I thought a game download pitting one cheesy snack against another for the ultimate mortal battle would be entertaining...but I digress... :P Step 1: The first step to remove your bad shortcut is to launch File explorer:
Step 2:Use the dropdown at the top to choose "My Device": Step 3:Make your way to the "Windows" folder: Step 4:Under Windows, go to the "Start Menu" folder Step 5:The first screen of the Start Menu folder shows your "Start Menu" Shortcuts. But our problem file is in the Programs Folder. So choose Programs folder Step 6:Tap and hold the file and when the pop-up menu appears choose delete.
That's all there is to it.
Any Comments?
Great tip... Did you ever think of putting out a "Weekly tip" that would be cool.... 8)
But this tip helps me out especially because there is a program called "Screen Resolution" on the Toshiba. Once you install MyVGA you can NEVER run "Screen Resolution" or else you have to perform a hard reset.
Thanks.

Hi Nivek,
There are two ways that I know of. One is to get an add-on file explorer like Resco File explorer or you can simply explore your device via activesync.
Open activesync on your desktop while it is connected and choose the explore button. The hidden files should appear.
hope this helps.
Brad, why do you have so many files named "Cheesy snack" on your device?
