In my SendTo folder, there is always a Palm Powered™ Handheld shortcut. I delete it manually but then if I open Palm Desktop, it seems to be recreated.
I tried adding some info to the winapp2.ini file but I am doing something wrong I guess, as it doesn't show up in CCleaner.
(Is it possible for CC to deleted links anyway?)
[Palm shortcut]
LangSecRef=3021
DetectFile=%userprofile%\SendTo\Palm Powered™ Handheld.lnk
Default=True
FileKey1=%userprofile%\SendTo\palm*.lnk

Notice the bold red \ in the quote above, well it needs to be replaced with a | to look like this:

If that still doesn't work, try using the full filename Palm Powered™ Handheld.lnk instead of a wildcard.
Complexity of incoherent design.

Thanks very much for your help!

This is what I used and it works now :D Hope this helps someone, incase they need it!

[Palm SendTo shortcut]
LangSecRef=3021
DetectFile=%userprofile%\SendTo\Palm Powered(T M) Handheld.lnk
Default=True
FileKey1=%userprofile%\SendTo|palm*.lnk


Note: You need to take out the space between the T and the M. It must not convert to ™, but be a capital T and capital M together. Hope this helps!
