DA

Roger that, thanks!

That shortcut definitely broke somehow. Probably same thing with TaskManager, but I installed the 21015 that someone posted in another thread to replace. It did overwrite a file there, so I'm assuming if I just fixed the shortcut it would be fine.

Here's what I did to fix the Power Point shortcut:
1) Use Total Commander and goto ..\windows\start menu\programs\office mobile\
2) Select PowerPoint Mobile.lnk file and click File -> Properties
3) Unselect ReadOnly by clicking the checkbox 2 times (2nd clears the grayed out checkbox) and click OK.
4) Close file and go back into properties.
5) Goto shortcut TAB and change Target: to PPT.EXE and click OK.
6) Goto Properties again and uncheck Archive, and then recheck ReadOnly and System, and then click OK.

You should now have a working PowerPoint icon. I'm assuming you can do the same thing to fix the TaskManager icon, rather then install the 21015 EXE like I did. The problem is the icon is broke, not that the executable isn't there is nonfunctioning.


All you're really doing is changing the link from :MSPPT to PPT.EXE. I think somewhere along the line the program name changed from MSPPT to PPT, either the program name or the in the link file. The other office links are to EXE files other then the OneNote, which is still :MSONENOTEMOBILE. Not sure why. Maybe the experts have a clue how/why this changes.
