I've found a small bit of wierdness - in my programs group there's a games folder... when I open this folder there's 3 options presented.

1) icon (shows the games folder icon as it's icon)
2) Jawbreaker
3) Solitaire

when I tap on "icon" I get an error message which reads:

"Cannot find 'shellres' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available."

Well, I can't find a file "shellres.dll" on my hand held - closest thing I find is "shellresapps.192.dll" and "shellresapps.96.dll".

Frankly, when I view the properties for "icon" it indicates it's supposed to be a "hidden" file... and I'm guessing it's supposed to be the "folder icon" for the games folder...

Anyone know what this is? I'm guessing it's safe to simply delete the thing?

When looking in My Device > Windows > Start Menu > Programs > Games on my Axim all I see are icons for my games, no other folders or hidden files and all links work fine.

I simply deleted it. Didn't cause me any problems, am thinking it's something to do with that spd utility I installed (to demo)... had some "other" oddities show up in the "home" set as well.. when I added the apps to the "tabs" by the little app.

Once I removed them from the tabs, things where corrected in the home set.

I found the answer!

The answer was "View all files" - when you enable the view all files, this exposes hidden WM2003SE files, and thus the "icon" for games folder is exposed, therefore opening the games folder in programs you will see the hidden icon file - which is the icon for the "games" folder.

Turning off the view all files option then re-hides the icon file.

Of course, this doesn't really explain why the file is linked to a dll that doesn't appear to exist in the OS.

I'm pretty sure it's harmless. I wonder if it's a leftover from an old game uninstall?

It was harmless, it wasn't a left over from an uninstall (since I've never installed a game to my axim) - it was simply the "hidden" icon file for the "games" folder. Which, once I turned on "view all files" - well, the icon became visible..

Oh, and deleting it - as you can imagine, the games folder began displaying itself as a regular folder (iconically) -
