Keep icon move program to storage card??
 
Marketplace installed app. to device (also icon for app.). I want to put app. on the storage card but when I move it with total commander I loose the use of the icon and I cant get a icon from the moved app. on the storage card to show on my list in the programs screen. How to make the move but keep or make a new icon?

Can you reinstall the app from storage? If you can then uninstall the app first. Then reinstall to storage. If you have the cab then you should be able to do that.
Your other option is to use an app like SKTools to fix the link to the app after it is moved. :)

When getting an app. from Marketplace you dont get a cab. only the file. It also does not give you the option of installing to memory card it installed it to internal all on its own.

But, your OP indicates you were successful in moving the EXE, right? If so, then all you need to do is navigate using WinMo File Explorer to the EXE, tap and hold to get menu, and choose 'Copy' from menu. Then navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\ or if you prefer \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (former puts icon in dropdown Start menu, which may be full already, so latter puts icon into Start>Programs screen). Once there, i.e. in Start Menu folder or in Programs folder, tap:

Menu (right softkey) > Edit > Paste Shortcut

This should replace the dead link shortcut, if you create the new shortcut in the same folder. If not, you should find and delete the old shortcut.

Horndoctor's suggestion would be better if only you had the CAB. This is because if you want to uninstall the program, it won't be found where installed, so could cause registry trouble. If you ever decide to uninstall, move EXE back to original location in internal storage first.

Hope this helps, MrG
