Hi,

I want to know if it's possible to delete the games which are installed on
the Pocket PC 2002.

Should I delete the shortcuts or can I delete the games program ?

Thanks for any answer.

Hi Gandalf,
Follow this,
On the Pocket PC, tap Start, tap Settings; On the System tab, tap
Add/Remove Programs if you find any games installed select that and
remove.
If games are not listed there you may delete the entire folder under
Program Files and in shortcut to remove the game.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Arun.

Additionally, the built-in games cannot be deleted since they are embedded
into the ROM. But you can delete the shortcuts to them as Arun described
under \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

Other folks have answered your specific questions. I will deal with
some likely questions behind the specific ones.

If you're trying to free up disk space, then trying to disable or
delete games, etc. in ROM won't help. They don't compete with anything
else (unless actually loaded), and they can't be removed.

If you're trying to control users, then I recommend using google to
look up
kiosk
in this newsgroup. It seems to be the common name for lock down mode.

This would work in a batch file:

DELETE "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\solitaire.exe"

Except that Pocket PC doesn't run batch files. And you cannot delete
Solitaire.exe since it is embedded into the ROM. You may be able to delete
the shortcut file (.lnk file) for the game.

You can create a program called Autorun.exe, and it will run whenever you
insert the Storage Card. You will have to code it using eMbedded Visual C++
or some other development tool to do whatever it is you want to do.
