Locked Start Menu Items

Is there any way to move all the WM5 shortcuts to subdirectories? All of the WM5 default shortcuts seem to be locked where they are. If I try moving them via ActiveSync, the won't move. If I do it via PocketPC File Explorer, Windows complains that moving them will break them. Will it? If there's a way to move them, how do I?

Do you mean on the handheld or on your computer? On the handheld, you can change what appears in the menu via Settings -> Menu. But I probably don't understand what you mean.

\windows\start menu
You can delete/add/edit them there IIRC

If I try through the ActiveSync explorer, I can't move any of the WM5 apps (Word, Calendar, Contacts, etc). I was able to move everything except the calculator via File Explorer on the Axim. I like to keep things nice and tidy in subdirectories.

Thanks!

I'm assuming you want to rearrange the Start Menu. So I'll answer based off of that assumption.

Use the PocketPC File Explorer.
Go to \My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Create a new directory (I used "Office")
Copy the shortcut in question (I copied Word Mobile)
Go to \My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office
Paste the shortcut.

If the program still works from the new location, return to
\My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
and Delete the shortcut.

If this isn't what you were looking for, reply and we'll try again.
