This will take you to where the .desktop files are stored. Type

Code:

ls

This should show you a list of files, all of which are (name of some app).desktop. Now, what you are probably going to see is ".desktop1" instead. Or something along those lines. That's how App Locker hides apps. Renames the .desktop files you lock to .desktop1, so the Hildon Menu doesn't know to read them.

Now, if you have another file manager, such as Midnight Commander, FileBox or Cute Explorer, you can open that from the command line and rename all your files that way. IF you do not, you will need to rename all of the files from the command line (or connect to wifi and download one of those file managers from the command line). To do this, you will need to do this for every file (replace "(filename)" with each individual file's name - yes it's a lot of typing, but life's a ***** like that):

Code:

mv (filename).desktop1 (filename).desktop

So, for, say, ApMeFo.desktop1, you type "mv ApMeFo.desktop1 ApMeFo.desktop". And so on and so on.

- Edit -

For the sake of full information I want to say that there is probably some way to rename all of the files in one command, just renaming the .desktop1 .desktop parts of each file... But the point is I don't actually know how to do it yet. I was experimenting with "mv *.blahblah *.blahblah1" just now and getting errors. And I don't know the nuances of the available shells well enough.
