Programs from storage card not showing up in programs tab

I've searched this forum for well over 2 hours trying to figure out any type of combination of words to have my question answered, but I didn't find one. I added a custom theme to my pro and by me doing that, all my programs from the storage card that were linked to the programs tab are not there. Im not saying that they are deleted, I can still access them from the storage card/program file folder, they just not listed in my programs tab on TF3D. I read in one post that its a simple reinstall, but I don't have none of the cabs I used. I usually delete those to make room for new one. Cut and paste to the phone was an option but I would use all the memory. I have TONS of programs on the 16gb card and I liked the ease of use with the programs tab but now that they are gone from it, its getting annoying. Any suggestions on how to add them back?

If you installed on card, they would show up under listing Today>Programs

I tried that and it didn't work. That takes me back to square one.

go into Settings, Menus..............see if they show up in the list, if so, select them so that they will show up under Start

I install games to my storage card and rather than reinstalling after a flash, I will create a shortcut so that I can see them.

long click on whatever program you want and select copy, then go to My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs

If you are using the stock file explorer, the select Menu > Edit > Paste Shortcut.
You should be able to see in now in the programs list.

Glad you got it fixed, but I would highly recommend saving your .cab files on your storage card and on your home computer. You never know when something could go wrong and your information would be otherwise lost.

I am also one that saves CAB files on the card and the really important ones on the laptop. Good advise.

Glad to help.

I have a folder called cabs on my storage card that keep all my cab files in. I also have a Touch Pro folder at home and keep everything seperated nicely, from ROMs to cabs to WAD skins.
