Hi,
Relatively new to the PPC - switching from Palm;

THis might be a silly question - whenever I install a program/application via ActiveSync, they all show up under programs! I would like to organize them in categories - eg. just as the GAMES folder - all games automatically install there! What is the easiest way to do this - creating folder A - and putting here all pertinent programs, Folder B and so on... :exc:
however, if I have to do a Soft Reset, I don't want to lose all this ans have to try again!
perhaps there is an application that already accomplishes this?

I am installing most programs to SD card; some critical ones to BUILT-IN STORAGE!

Also, what is the best way to automatically rotate your TODAY's THEMES?

Finally, should I stick to the PPC calendar/contacts or switch to Agenda Fusion or Pocket Informant?

Sorry - lots of questions - thanks in advance,

CP

If you go to Windows/Start Menu/Programs, you can create new folders in there (just like the Games folder), and cut and paste the files into these folders as you see fit.

A small correction to this: Do not move the files , just the shortcuts from the Windows/Start Menu/Programs directory

ther is the Theme Switcher but I guess it's too buggy

pocket informant is much more complete solution but I prefer SBSH PocketBreeze

Thanks Jukov - but how do you move /re-point the shortcuts?
sorry about the dumb questions,

No dumb at all! When i swithched from PalmOS you wouldn't imagin what sorts of Q's I've asked!
BOT: All programs installed through the active sync leave shortcuts at Windows/Start Menu/Programs directory. Open the Windows/Start Menu directory using built-in File Explorer (Most of us use Resco File Explorer, though) > tap Edit>Create New Folder > now go to the Windows/Start Menu/Programs dir and tap-and-hold the icon you want to move > select Cut , > Paste this to a newly created directory

BTW the reason many use Resco File Explorer is for the mulitpule select option and drug'n'drop , plus other usefull functions

Yes. Or you can use Total Commander (from C. Ghisler), a very capable program which is free, with versions available for both your PC and your PPC.

Are there only certain program icons that can be pasted into a folder? When I try to move the office ones (Excel, Word, etc...), it says that I can't do it because i don't have permission or something.

Thanks
