How to delete locked files
Surely you have ever tried to delete a file on your Palm, and not saying that you have left is locked. The same is true both from the option of trying to erase one's own launcher for the Palm, like using a more comprehensive file management, for example Filez.
A first attempt to avoid the protection is to make a soft reset: press the key direction "up" and keep it, press the reset button (it resets and others have already been explained at the time). On some occasions after doing the file will no longer be blocked, but in others, it remains impossible to erase it. What to do in these cases? There is still an opportunity to resign before doing a hard reset.
In TamsPalm show a second option: using Filez, we have to change the name of the creator (creator ID) of the file, for example to "xxxxxx". Then do a soft reset, and the file in question no longer be protected. We can delete it, auqnue was protected for a reason: surely it was being used by the system. So when you delete will be reset the Palm. Nothing happens, if we have not deleted a file you really should not, everything will continue to operate normally, and have managed to remove what we were looking for.

How about Mark, you command a greeting from Monterrey, Mexico. I am writing because I have a doubt and I do not know if you could advise me. It turns out that a friend of mine has a Palm Zire black and white that got second hand. The problem is that it be sold without the installation disk. Do you know any site from where you can download the installation CD for this Palm?
Thanks in advance and I hope your answer.
Luiz Hi, happy to help. To see what I can do.
I know of no place to get a copy of the CD that came with the Palm. But the main thing that might bring, is the Palm Desktop program (in charge of synchronizing data between the PC and PDA), which is installed on your PC. Can be downloaded from here:
http://euro.palm.com/europe/es/support/win_desktop.html
However, although Palm's page is somewhat confusing, it appears that the Zire, but is supported for this version of Palm Desktop, you can have some inconsistency with such a new version of the program. The most serious thing that can happen is that something can not be synchronized, so do not worry. Just trying it will be known.
I hope that the Palm Desktop works for you wonderfully with the Zire. A greeting.
How about Mark, then hears the news that ... It worked! and my friend under the Palm Desktop and synchronizing without this problem.
Thank you so much!
I am very glad that it has worked. Greetings!
