Use the "File Explorer" link to start a program called "Total Commander" and double-tap the "Windows" directory. Locate "shfind.exe" in it, select it, and tap 'File' in the bottom menu bar. Select "Create shortcut" from the menu, and anter "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" as the location for the shortcut. Shfind.exe will now show up under programs.
If you want, you can browse to "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" using the same program to rename 'shfind.exe' to something nicer.
that was fast and helpful
thanks

If anyone is interested in changing the left soft key on the Today page, the registry key is as follows:
KEY: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
String Value: Default -> Name to Display
String Value: Open -> "Path to exe"
For example, I changed Calendar to "Comm Manager" as follows:
Value: Default set to Comm Mgr
Value: Open set to "\Windows\CommManagerLink.exe"
No need to restart phone.
hey, how about the weather icon ? i got no use for it...can that also be remapped ? and which registry editor do you recommend ?..thank you
How about adding the New SMS function
I'v downloaded the "New SMS.lnk" file and had a look at the text in it which is as follows:
49#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to ""-body""
Can this be used? I haven't managed so far
Thanks,

Yup, just do not use the 49#.
Can't get it to work.
Name changes fine but application is always Calendar that opens.
On a soft-reset it reverts back to Calendar as per default.
Would you mind checking that it works on your device please?
thanks,
use "softkey aplet" it can change both soft key to any application installed in your device.
Copy softkey.apl into Windows folder an you will find program icon in the setting page. Start-setting-system-soft key
I use this file since WM5 and really not remember who is create this great applet but BIG thanks to them.
and a BIG thanks to you too...works fine
Add that one to my list of indispensibles
I can't fin the windows directory when i'm browsing with windows vista (even by showing hidden files and folders) :/
So i put it into my memory card and tried to move it directly by my Touch but it's like the .CPL file is hidden too.
Any help ? (i'm sorry i'm a rookie at this).
Just tried it on mine with XP
The Show hidden files/folders works fine here.
Maybe Vista?
Can anyone else using vista confirm?
Failing that, copy it to you My Documents folder, then hold your cursor on the screen underneath the last file. You'll get an option to "Show all files"
Can you delete Softkey Applet after you apply the changes?
Thanks, actually i forgot to show systems files into my Touch, i could install it and it worked Great little program !
this is freak'n great thanks!!!

Yes. With Vista you cannot browse the Windows directory.

where u got the new sms?
Here are the files
Unzip the NewSMS file and save the .lnk file in your \Windows\Start menu\programs directory
Now install the Soft key Applet .cab and point one of your soft keys to the NewSMS program (I found there were two. One works, one doesn't)
Done

The \Windows folder on your Touch is a system folder, and Vista doesnt display them. Go to folder options, and check the "Show system files" option. No open your Touch on Vista, go to \ and there you go \Windows

erm... how to get to \Windows\Start menu\programs directory? but before save the .ink file, do i need to install any program to support this newsms?
No new prog required to support it lunarken
It's a shortcut to open the sms prog and start with a new, blank message.
If you can't find your Windows folder on the Touch, hold your stylus below the last file in File Explorer and select "Show all files".
If you're running Vista, you apparently ned to make sure you have "Show System files" selected.
It only needs to go in the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder so that the Soft Key Applet can find it.
Been searching for about an hour now. Is it possible to make shortcuts to folders?
For example- I'm trying to make a shortcut to the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder, but every time, it can not find the file.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks in advance.
Use Resco Explorer
I use Resco explorer all the time, that´s why I did never find it difficult..., It´s easy as use the desktop. Select the folder ("Programs", in your case), tap and hold, "Copy", go to the desired place where you want to add a link, tap and hold, and "paste as shortcut". Done!
There is an easier way, select the folder ("programs") an "send to" > "Start menu as shortcut". Done!
Download a trial on website!
The folder you want is located in Your device\windows\start menu\programs
also to see all files on your device you need to enter options in resco explorer, to do this click menu at the bottom right when resco explorer is open then click options then click general, now click browser then make sure all boxes have no ticks next to them. then click ok and you will now be able to see all files on your phone.

Create a shortcut, you will get the picture automaticaly:
1. Use file explorer, find IGO.exe, press and hold the file until you get a popup menu, click "copy".
2. Go to Windows, Start Menu, click on an empty space, get a popup menu and click "paste shortcut".
3. At that point you will have shortcut to IGO8 in your All Programs list. You could add it to Programs thumbnails from there.
i lost you at number2
i managed to copy igo8.exe from file explorer. then u said go to the start menu and on a space click on it untill a pop up appears and past it. i found the space in start menu but when i click and hold on to it nothing appears. i cant paste it. help me. please show me picz if you can
thanx
its all sorted now.
i am trying to achieve the same goal - and i also have the problem that i can't paste a shortcut in my programs or on the startmenu, can someone please explain it in more detail? thx
Cant see why some of you are having problems as i just done the simple thing of pressing one of the add tabs in programs and then selecting it from the menu the creating the shortcut??? the only thing I can gather is that you guys did not use the instal cab file hence dont have both igo8 and igo8 uninstall files (shortcuts) in your native programs folder??
i want to have a shortcut to a program that is not already registered as one but is only available as runnable exe file on my storage card. The post from michael_r seemed to be a solution for this problem, however, i don't manage to follow his step 2.

Use file manager program. Change directory to device/windows/start menu. Find some empty space on the bottom half of the screen below the list of files already in the directory. Press and hold for a couple of seconds. A popup menu will appear and one of the choices will be "paste shortcut". Voila.
ahhh! thanks, now i understood it!

Using your file explorer on your HD, browse to the location where you installed iGo8, i.e. /program files/iGo8 or storage card/program files/iGo8
Create shortcut of .exe file. Copy this file and put it into /windows/start menu/programs
Now when you go to Start menu your icon should appear
here's where the iGo is
Storage card / iGO8 and inside it all of the maps and content
i copied the iGO8.exe and put it in
MyDevice/ windows/start menu/programs
it shows in start menu but when i clicked it it build two files in the start menu " saved" and " custom" and also it didn't work
did i do something wrong?

Don't copy the iGO8.exe file, create a shortcut to it and copy the shortcut to /windows/start menu/programs

Hi, i have copied manually an application to the memory card of my htc touch diamond2, but i can't figure out how to link manually the executable of the app to the start menu.
Is there a way to do it?
Go to File Explorer, "copy" the executable file, go to "Windows\Startmenu\Programs\" and then "paste shortcut".
Don't know the exact english terms as i use a german device, but all you have to do is pasting *not* the executable, but only a shortcut to it.
After that, you can rename the shortcut to whatever you want
Click in the icon until it show the options, then click on copy, go to your desired location click menu and theres a option that says paste shortcut, thats it.
use Resco explorer,then go to the source folder.click in the icon until it show the panel,then click the send to->start menu,over.
