Deleting useless apps

[bboobbakajay]

Dose any one know if you can "delet useless apps" Such as the Quick Tour, or the Welcome app? Please let me know Thanks

Yes.. On the Home screen, press the Menu button.
The default option is 'Delete'. Select that and you will see what to do.

Unless the apps are in ROM, which both of those mentioned by the OP are... :tounge:

I was sure I had removed those applications at some point.. but you are right.

I guess, if the OP finds the icons annoying, he could move them into another category that he doesn't use much, but it will not save any space.

Yeah, before I started using a 3rd party launcher, I created a category called Unused, and put all of my, well, unused apps there.

Hi, may I ask which 3rd party launcher you are using, as I want to get one too. Also, is there a file explorer we can use on the 650? Many thanks

Hi:

A search of the boards using "launcher" will give you lots to read about. The big gun seems to be ZLauncher (not free), but it does so much the learning curve can be extensive. Search the boards, use a few for the free trials offered and decide which way you want to go.

You can also the search function to search for programs like FileZ. FileZ is a great program I believe to be an essential tool....and it is freeware too!!!

Remember, the "search" function can be your friend.....

Let us know what you select and why.

I use Hi-Launcher, which mimics the Windows Start menu. Zlauncher is another popular choice. You should be able to download a free trial of those from the ET store.Filez is probably the most popular file explorer for the Treo, and ZLauncher has a built in file explorer. You can find Filez in the free download section here at ET.

Thanks for the info, I will try FileZ. I am very familiar with the search function from other forums, I guess I was also looking for some personal opinions on the apps. I am coming from a WM5 pda and had a wonderful freeware file explorer app for that. This looks like a great forum. I'll let you know what I end up getting. Thanks!
