Uninstall programs from your Windows Mobile Device

How-to uninstall Windows Mobile programs using WMDC.
Removing software from our devices using WMDC is as easy as it should be. All we need to do is connect our device using either USB or Bluetooth.
Click “Programs and Services”
Click “more>>”
Click “Add/Remove Programs”
You will be presented with a screen similar to the one below.
Addremove programs
All you need to do now is ensure that the tickbox next to the program you want to uninstall is unticked.
Once you press OK, your computer will leave the programs with ticks next to them and uninstall the programs which do not have ticks on them. This does not remove the software from your computer. You will need to remove the software through Windows Control Panel to achieve a full uninstall, or run the corresponding Windows Uninstaller.
As the programs are all fairly small, I generally leave them on my computer in case I decide I want to reinstall the software on my device at a later date. Changing the tickbox again will reinstall the program.

How-to uninstall Windows Mobile programs using ActiveSync.
ActiveSync also offers us an easy way to remove programs from our devices.
Connect your device to ActiveSync
Click “Tools”
Click “Add/Remove Programs”
You will be presented with screen similar to the screenshot below.
Activeaddremove
Untick the programs that you no longer want on your device and select “OK”
Your device will now remove the software from your device.

How-to uninstall Windows Mobile programs using your device.
DeviceprogramsIf we do not have a computer nearby or would like to do it on the run, the device itself offers us an option to remove software.
Tap “Start”
Tap “Settings”
Tap the “System Tab”
Tap “Remove Programs”
You will be presented with a screen like the screenshot on the right.
Highlight the software you want to uninstall and tap “Remove”.
Your device will now remove the desired software from your device.
If all else fails…
The above methods are the ideal way to remove software from your device. Occasionally, you may come across a program that is not in the list. This is the case where you would use File Explorer to navigate your device and delete the folder from your devices “Program Files” folder. If it is not in the list, there is a good chance that there is no records of the software elsewhere on the device or in the registry.
If you have to use this method a lot, it may be worthwhile reinstalling the firmware of your device which will clear out everything, much the same as reinstalling Windows on our desktop computer fixes just about every unfixable problem. Of course, this will take some time to do but your device will run better in the long run.

Windows Mobile: Add a Signature to Outgoing Outlook Mobile E-mails

Windows Mobile devices aren’t great for sending emails from. We make our emails short because typing in anything longer than a sentence or two can become very time consuming and uncomfortable.
There is nothing wrong with entering in a short email, but it can look very brief, to the extent of appearing offensive to someone opening it up in a desktop email client.
It is a good idea to pad it out, or add in some useful information so that the reader has a clear idea who has sent them the email.
To make it happen:
  • Tap Messaging
  • Tap Menu
  • Tap Options
  • Tap Signatures
You can now create a signature to be sent with your emails. You can pad it out as much as you want, but it is a good idea to at least sign your name so that you don’t need to enter it in each time.
You can even add a signature to SMS/MMS messages from this window, but due to character restrictions, it probably isn’t worth doing.
Unfortunately there is no support for HTML code, though many email clients will place links as they recognise that they are an email or website address.

Hack Your Windows Mobile Registry

In all Microsoft operating systems, there is a registry which loads as your computer starts up. The windows registry lets the operating system know what settings to to start your computer up with. Most settings on our computers are stored in the registry somewhere, we just need to know what to change to achieve what we want.

Windows Mobile devices also have a registry like all other Microsoft operating systems. We can customize many of the defaults on our devices to suit our needs. The structure is very similar to the Windows Registry structure, so if you are familiar with it, you will find this just as easy. If you have not yet delved into a registry, you will find this quite tricky.

This article will cover some of the changes we are able to make to our devices, through our devices registry.

Find a Registry Editor:
There are a number of free register editors available for Windows Mobile Devices. We have the option of editing the registry from either a desktop computer or the device itself. I have not tested out any of the programs below extensively but I can confirm they will perform any of the changes listed on this page.
Opening up a registry and making changes is slightly risky. If we change the wrong key, it is possible that our device will no longer work. Backup your devices data before continuing. You should be prepared to reinstall the operating system on your device if something bad does happen. I give you this information for educational use only. If you decide to tinker this way, you are doing so at your own risk.
Mobile Registry Editor: runs on your desktop and connects to your device using ActiveSync. Once you have this installed, connect your device via ActiveSync and click on one of the folder to the left. If the right side refreshes, you have a connection.Being a desktop application, it is easy to navigate and make changes using your keyboard and mouse. As I don’t make many registry changes away from my desktop computer, I would generally use this.
PHM Registry Editor: runs on your device so you have free reign over where and when you make changes to the registry.It has a nice interface and is quite easy to use on our little Windows Mobile screens. PHM Registry Editor works a little faster for me than Mobile Registry Editor did.
Both of these Windows Mobile registry editors are easily found from web for free and are suitable for the changes listed below so choose what you think will work best, or try them both out, they are both free.
Some Important Windows Mobile Registry Hacks:
Remove “Message Sent” Notification when sending text messages.
  • Navigate to
    “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\”
  • Create a key called “Settings”
  • Create a String Value called “SMSNoSendMsg”
  • Set the value to “1”
  • Now when you send a text message, you will feel a little naked.
Change contents of New menu on the “Today Screen”
  • The “New” button allows you to create various file types directly from the today screen. Adding new items in is tricky but it is easy to remove them.
  • Navigate to
    “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\NewMenu”
  • Look in the keys and remove the items you no longer want. Adding them back will be a pain so take caution doing this.
Change which items load at startup.
  • Navigate to
    “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Start Items”
  • Add or Remove keys according to what you want to run. Not all programs are listed here as some programs are configured in their own settings.
Change the amount of suggested words when inputting data.
  • Navigate to
    “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip”
  • Find “SuggWords”
  • Change value to between 0 and 6(4 is the default)
  • I have been using my device with one word showing since I got my device. This is also configurable through the Settings/Input applet but it did not work for me until I made the registry changes.
Change the location of My Documents to the SD Card.
  • This one is complicated but possible. The order in which you do this is essential.
  • Please ensure that your SD card and My Documents are backed up. It is recommended that you do this on a fresh install of your ROM. This cleared out “My Documents” folder but you can easily restore it.
  • Reset your device
  • Synchronize your device with your PC
  • Navigate to“HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory“
  • Change the “Folder” key to “My Documents”
  • Rename your original “My Documents” folder to “My Docs”. This is a crucial step, but it does not matter what you name it.
  • Power off and reset your device.
  • Sync your Device

You should see in “File Explorer that your “My Documents” folder has an SD card icon next to it.Copy your files back into your My Documents.
