I have had this problem 2 and have only be able to resolve it by hard reset
of my Motorola Q. I have been unable to find the directory where thses icons
are stored. Where are they located???
After about 2 days my home icons change and I get the error Messege "Alert
- Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename.". There is no
way of teeling which programs was suppose to be called, and NO way of editing
the short cut. Doing a web search shows several people with the same type of
problem, or a least of a simalr nature.
Being a fairly good techical person I have already check the
windows>start menu, but that does not have any invaild shorts showing.
Getting email help from MS is outragous:$99 dollars! The phone only
COSTS $99.
Anyone have any ideas or help????

After tersting this over the weekend, I have found that at least on my
system, after I install and remove third-party addons, the place in
the icon bar on the home page is replaced by a generic icon which
pints to the place where the formally installed program was installed
to. Is this normal for the smartphone version of Windows CE? This is
the first time I have found it like this in any version of the
Windows. Shouldn't the code for the icon bar automattically update
itself to reflect the fact that the program was removed from the
system???

These icons will gradually disappear as you open other apps. This
seems to be a default behavior.
