Hi,
I've finally managed to get hold of a k750i here in the UK. The only website I could find with stock was the SE shop itself!
Am happy with phone thus far, apart from the fact that the software has stuck an icon on the desktop which I can't delete! It is the "Sony Ericsson File Manager" icon, and right clicking on it doesn't give me a delete option.
I like my desktop clean with no icons! How can I remove this icon from the desktop?
Thanks,
David |

I also have a similar icon on my desktop that appeared after installing my S700 software.
Have tried everything and nothing gets rid of it.
Even my mate couldn't fix it and he's an IT professional!!!
Guess uninstalling the software is the only way. |

Can't check that as it's on my home pc and i'm at work.
Will not that just delete the program though? The icon is not a shortcut. |

If you are on WinXP then you could try the TweakUI tool (MS powertoys), it allows you to turn desktop icons on/off. I'm at work at the moment and can't test it out. Will try from home tonight and poast my findings.

Just checked and TweakUI allows you to remove the icon. |

certainly does. I posted this same tip a couple of times in the last year for the P900 and P910 icon, e.g.
I don't want the P900 icon on my desktop!
uninstall se desktop p910

You can get tweak UI here:

If you install tweakui to remove the icon, then uninstall tweakui, will the icon come back? I didnt really want to have tweakui either.

the icon won't come back if you uninstall tweakui, though tweakui is a tiny program that won't take up any hdd space nor slow your computer down at all. But you can remove it without worry about the icon returning.

.... a bit silly! Hell, you can hack the SE icon out by using the registry, I've done it before without tweakui - tweakui just saves you the hassle of searching the registry for the right key.

I believe the method stated in this thread should be quite useful as I've used it myself sometime back: SE File Manager icon on desktop
As I'm now using the excellent "MyPhoneExplorer", I have no need for the SE PC Suite anymore.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. |
