Can I delete the Games catagory T665C?

[SilentP]

Hello Brains!

I would rather not have the "games" catagory on my T665C. I delete it on my Clie, but when I hotsync, it returns. The same thing happened on my T615C. Is there a way to permanently delete the catagory?

By the way, I've lurked here for HOURS - thanks to everybody for all the great information (and entertainment). You talked me into upgrading from my 615.

I just tried removing my games category. I then re-synced and it remained gone... Are you using a backup program that restores the categories?

It should delete fine if it is empty.

I have deleted and added several catagories over time and syncing has never changed my settings. Are you sure that you aren't (or haven't) done anything else?

Duh...I've found the problem. I have a game on my MS. Once I open it, the Games catagory is recreated. Oh well!

Yeah, some games, especially from Astraware, do this. I complained to Howard (the president) and he says they are aware of it but it is a side-effect of solving a problem for newbies. Too many of them instal a game for the first time and don't think to look in "Unfiled." They just see their "Games" folder is empty then call Astraware's tech support.

The best suggestion I can come up with is use a third-party app launcher which doesn't care what categories the default Launcher has.

Why would you want to delete the Games category?

I'd like to delete the Games category because I have all my games installed on a memory stick and would rather not have any extra clutter in my menu. Also, I mainly use my PDA for business and would rather not have something show up that could someone the impression that I'm playing with a "toy" whenever I use it at work.
