Having installed a new application I found that it has added an item to the today screen settings. ln doing so it has deleted the tasks item from the settings (I believe there is a maximum) so I can't select tasks to appear on the today screen. Is there an alternative way to remove the unwanted today Screen item from the settings. NB. the aim is not simply checking/unchecking the setting, its removing the setting altogether.
thanks,
coj
Yeah, you can remove the unwanted items from the registry.
Use Resco Registry editor or a similar registry editor.
The key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items.

fantastic, thanks :lol:

It was so log time ago you offered a solution, however, having come across the problem you solve here, I am very happy you offered help.
Your solution has saved me.

Hi. I found out that when you install a new application with a Today item if you already have 13 of them the last one install sort of bumps one out. The first one to go in my case is the Tasks. Mind you I do not have all 13 active. Most are unchecked in my Settings / Today control panel. Seems like there is a limitation to how many of them can be installed at any given time.
This brings up the question. How can I remove things like MMS Composer today item or those others installed by various applications without uninstalling the application itself. Is there a registry location where the info is kept? Presumably I can just remove the reference and bring my count under 13. Am I off base here?
Thanks
no, you're spot on!
Use a registry editor, such as resco and remove the entry under hkey_local_machine\software\Microsoft\today\items

I m actually looking to add MMS back on today Screen
not sure how anyone can help
in the register is only show
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\MMS Composer]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000
even Enable it (turn it to 1)
it is not showing
Presumably you have tried going to Start/Settings/Today/Items to see if MMS is available to tick? (sorry if thats too obvious!)
Otherwise you may have fallen foul of the 13 Item limit, and may need to delete another of the Today Items in the registry to allow MMS to show.
One tip, is to export the Registry entry to "Storage" before deleting it- this will ensure you can get it back if you find you need it in the future- double tapping an exported registry entry will reimport it.
Hello,
Does someone knows if there is a way to remove Comm manager icons from today screen?
Perhaps by removing some registry key?
I believe the key should be one in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services but haven't found it yet :?
It takes alone a full line of today screen real estate :? : I would be glad to be able to remove it, as I already have a shorcut button assigned to it.
thanks for any help!
see if you don't have something like "init_tray.lnk|exe" in \Windows\Startup\ (file system, not registry), first. If you do, try moving/deleting that.
For removing mine I found the reference to init_tray.lnk in the "Start up programs" tab of MemMaid.
Ok I tested right now, it's works!
Thanks a lot!
I don't even thought about looking in startup folder :roll: as in my previous devices the solution was some registry key removal

Don't look for init_tray you will just go crazy looking for something you can't find or can find but can't delete. Just follow the 3rd registry instruction by:

Guys, they are all in the registry as well. However, if you remove Comm Manager from the tray (using registry method only?), the Comm Manager stops working completely. This statement is false, though. Mine is working just go to programs.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\ScreenRotate]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000
cya
Upon deletion of "KEEP" you can say byebye to the lower tab icon of comm manager.
thanks to moghisi101
I have a strange behaviour of my P3600.
I tried some tricks, using either Total Commander or PHM regedit, for instance to display both time and date on the upper right corner.
I make the changes but after doing a soft reset (button at the bottom near usb & IR), nothing happens...
and actually when I check the registry, my modifications just disappeared !?
does anybody experiments the same problem? any solution?
thx for any help
I've experienced this once after editing registry with Resco Reg Editor. After several times of trying, I realised I had to exit out of the application, i.e. shut it down completely not just minimising it, before the new settings are saved.
Again, thats with Resco, not sure about other reg edit apps, may have a similar issue, you never know.
Hope that helps.
Great it seems to work !
thanks a lot
It happens with TyTn too.

It happens with TyTn too. So it's kind of how the RegEdit programs write the Registry when exiting. I was surprised at first, but noticed you have to try several times.....
Buggy but it works.
My left softkey on phone screen is changed to PhotocontactPro Program after I touch it.now I want to change to contactPM but I can't remember how to change it.I try to find out many programs to change and edit the registry file but not succeed. hope everyone knows about how to change please tell me.we wait for you thanks.
Search for Schaps autoconfiguration tool on here, install and run it. You should then be able to do what you want.
WB
try this
did u try this registry option for left softkey
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Default: ContactPM (type ContactPM)
Open: (Enter Full Path of the program) i.e. Program Files\.......
Thanks Lord but your advice is for changing the softkey on Today screen. not on PHONE/dialpad Screen.
I had this same problem, and despite numerous searches, I could not figure out how to change the word "contacts", but I was able to map it to another contacts program quite easily. Try using the entries below.
this is from pocketcm faq!
How to add this application as the default contact manager?
You can also do it by hand:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
Change "String 1" value from :MSPOUTLOOK contacts to "\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe".
Make sure that you add the "" on the new entry.
Or the easy way

How did you change the softkey in 'Phone'??? I can't work it out from Audyo's post! Can you help me!
on my HD2, (Freyberry ROM), under settings > personal > the folder "INPUT" is gone, (no more). It was useful when you have multiple keyboard (as I has the standard input keyboard and TouchPal).
Somebody knows how to make re-appear?
Thanks
Saulo866
I mean via a registry tweak?
Or by adding a cab?
Otherwise now I have no way to select the default keyboard.
For example, if I would like to revert (even temporarily) to standard keyboard, then I need to unistall Touch Pal...which is not a desirable thing to do.
Any suggestions are welcomed!
Saulo
Simply delete the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input\Redirect
Soft reset, and the Input settings are visible again!!
(Works on the HD at least )
Thanks Cycled.
Can you suggest me a registry editor? I am trying the default File Manager but I cannot figure out how to reach the registry
Thanks
Saulo
I remembered a registry editor called ph but its official website (a Russian one) seems pointing to different type of softwares

Do a google for CeRegEditor. You connect your phone to your PC with ActiveSync and run the app on your PC. I'd highly recommend it mate.

I use PHM Regedit. I think it's the one anyway as most roms I use lately already have a reg editor installed and so I haven't installed it myself lately.
Dear Cycled
I see you are very knoweleagle: do you know how to twek the registry in order to DISABLE the HTC Outlook?
Please see my other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5610889#post5610889
In brief:
I cannot launch the standard Microsoft outlook-contacts, therefore the only onw is the HTC contacts, which lacks many fields (No separation for name, family name, middle name, no separation in company address into address, city, zip, etc)
2.
Do you know how to get the last HTC application which is the bar on top which when you click on CLOCK or TIME?
Thanks
Saulo

I'm not that knowledgeable, just read a lot. I'm sorry, I use the standard HTC Contacts and do not know how to deactivate that.
For 2, I'm not sure if you are referring to a Task Manager which will show open apps when you click on the clock on the taskbar?
