Help me please, I have huge problem with some icons in my start menu!
Problem is that since last night I dont have those 5, if I can say normal-official icons named People, Calendar, Music, Footprint and Peep in my start menu, but I have some strange icons (white square with blue ribbon on the top of square) with new names HTC People, HTC Calendar, HTC Music, HTC Footprints and HTC Twitter in start menu.
Every time when I removed them (delete) from windows/start menu after every new restart of phone they are still there.
Does anybody knows how to remove that white square icons and to restore "normal" icons in my start menu folder in order to see them when I press start, or at least how to change look of that white icons, just to look like normal icons?

Where I can find that read only files.look, and will it solve my problem?

There's a lot of other information in there, but the answer to your question is in the hints and tips thread, linked in my sig.
I'd highly recommend reading through the tips in there. Like I said, there are a lot, but they're very useful and often the most commonly asked questions in new threads.
Goo lukc mate
Thanks I'll try to find answer there.
I hope I'll find right answer and solve problem without hard reset.

Definitely no need to hard reset for that!
As johnc.. has said, take a look at the tweaks and tips threads.
I did as johnc... said and I found how to move duplicated blanc icons and not to see them again but I couldn't find how to restore original icons of calendar, twetter, people, footprints and music to start menu.

Hey guys, I've been searching the forums and can't find a way to remove the start text. How do I do this?
Thanks
bump
if I wasn't specific enough, I don't want it to say Start on the today screen. I only want the windows logo to be there.
thanks
I searched a while back, couldn't find out how to do that either. I also wanted to removed the gradient background behind it on the home screen. That would allow me to use smarttook kit's auto-hide feature. Free home some home screen space and add a pretty cool affect. I don't know if it's in the registry or not, but I looked on my Excalibur and couldn't make it happen. I also tried a few things in the homescreens xml file. Still drew a blank.
Hopefully someone knows how to do this.
wisbar advance can do it
Possible in one of the "today*.dll" files. I tried to copy to desktop so I can take a look but can't gain access.
Anyone know how to get system files off a device?

Hi all.
I'm new on this section, I've just bought my Leo
Flashing to official 1.48 ROM (HTC), I've experienced just one problem : I can't delete shortcuts I've placed on home tab... I've installed 4x4 rows favorite tab from this forum, is it the problem ? Have I to delete this ? This cab has some known pb on Leo ?
Please help me
Thanx to all for your answers !
OK, I've uninstalled the "Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab" to get back to 3 rows... and now I'm able to delete shortcuts. But I'm still on 3-rows (9 buttons) in home tab.
Is there any way to get 4-rows or 5-rows buttons on home tab ?
On my Touch Pro 2, with Valkyrie ROM, I've 5-rows in Sense 2.5 ...
No one on this section use any cab to get mroe buttons on home tab ?
Please share your experience !
I've got 5x4 on mine, and it seems to work fine. I can remove links without issue, and contact images work too.
You can get it here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591333
You need "Vovichek_Jamrecords_20shcut_m2525.cab"
thanks ! =)
No problem mate

I've seen a thread about that and did mess about with some of the icons to see if I could fix it, but to no avail. (I've just had a search, and can't find that thread, but it is there somewhere!)
I personally don't have contacts on my quick links. I'm happy with the people tab being 1 tab along and just use that instead.

What programs have you installed? Did you do any tweaking? Did you flash a new ROM? If you could give more information about your phone and when the problem first occurred it would be easier for the experts on the forum to diagnose the situation.
Did you try doing a soft reset yet?
flashed to 1.48wwe and have duttys task manager and the official sim contacts upgrade but that was put on after the ROM upgrade. the additional icons are just plain blue & white with the names underneath, but even when i delete the additional shortcuts they re appear!
Get this from the cabs link in my signature...
Touch X Permanently Delete Reappearing HTC Icons.cab
Install that and then use file explorer (or similar app) and go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. You will see the shortcuts in there - just delete them and they won't come back.
Hope this helps

First off I gotta say what a great forum. ;o) There's so much neat stuff in here! I just got me a HD2 and I simply love the phone. Been using some HTC's earlier but just for e-mail handling.
Well, to start off I have a couple of questions as I can't seem to find similar posts on the forum on the subject.
1. Is there a .cab for removing the "bar's" around the date, alarm and calendar on the first page/home page? Or if someone know of a theme-cab that wil make the choices on the home page transparent-like.
2. Found a cab here for removing the upper curtain so the bar get's transparent but it didn't do the trick. The curtain is still black.
I'd like the home page to be as transparent as possible so it's possible to see most of the background image.
Using stock ROM v1.66.409.1 (Manila)
Sorry if this/these question(s) have been asked before as I have been searching and going through posts for a day now. Hehe. Pardon my English.
Thanks in advance.

1a. Copy "Calendar and Date transparent" cab to phone and launch from there. Soft reset phone to take effect.
1b. After soft reset, if there is a black vertical bar between the words Date and Alarm then copy "Remove black line" to phone, launch and soft reset.
If you don't like the effects done, go to "Remove Apps" and uninstall.
2. Found a cab here for removing the upper curtain so the bar get's transparent but it didn't do the trick. The curtain is still black.
2a. For operator bar, use the "Touch X remove top curtain" cab. If is the taskbar where the Start button is located, search for HDWall in the forum.

I just downloaded the FB update and it took forever, Ihad to log out of market and reboot to get it to work. Before reboot, after exiting market I removed the FB quicklink, leaving it empty. However when I redownloaded the update and tried to quicklnk, it wont link, the space stays empty...........super annoying because no other program can be placed there either. I rebooted, soft and removal of battery and no improvement. Now I have an empty quicklink in the number 2 position and its annoying that I can't put anything there. Has this happened to anyone else, I haven't seen any other posts about it......
look up that link position in the Registry and either empty the contents, or copy the contents of another quick link to it then reboot. Try the second option if the first doesn't work, you should be able to remove the quick link then.
Thanks for the reply but TBH i am all new to this registry thing, I have just had a quick look but have no idea what I am looking for. any help would be appreciated.
also I have changed a lot of my icons now and they do not seem to have changed on the quick link menu even after replacing them and doing soft reset.
Any tips help is greatly appreciated.

sense caches icons, have a look a JWMD Icon Changer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080
It can clear sense cache allowing your new icons to show.
Ignore all above if using Android ...
Well i managed to sort the new icons issue, but still i can not place a new quick link in the second slot. it just stays blank. any other ideas?
