How to make program shortcut in WM5.0

Hi All
Can anybody guide me how to create shortcut for any programs in WM5
that don't have installation. I want to add their icons in "Program" folder in order that I can use it from there instead of tab it from file explorer
everytime.
Thks

Thanks for your replying, but, where is
"\windows\start menu\programs" folder?
Is it in ROM or storage card?
I tried to find it, but, couldn't find at all

It is in your RAM. The 'upper directory' of your 'My Documents' directory.

putting a folder link in program tab??

Greetings
1- Can I put a link to the Windows' program folder (the one that appears near the end of the "Start" menu) in the Manila's program tab??
2- Additionally, can I put a link to a folder (e.g. Games) from the Windows program's folder in the Manila's program tab?
Thanks in advance.

I would LOVE to know if this could be done. Fingers crossed.

You can. I have even put files there (Manila program tab)
The thing you have to do is create a shortcut of your desired objecti (prog, folder, tab) and put the shortcut to windows/start Menu/programs folder. I created an extra "Shortcuts" folder there to not mess up the look of PROGRAMS item in start menu.
The point is you can add any shortcut to tf3d progs tab as long as it is situated in the start menu folder

It seems that by clicking the newly created shortcut, it launches the explorer progam to show what is within the folder
Not very sexy, any chance that it stays in manilla to display the folder content?

not working for me either... i did exactly what you said.. i used the built-in Explorer to create the "programs" shortcut .. but whenever i click on the button mapped to that shortcut, i get the message "The file 'Programs' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its componenets is messing...etc"
BTW, when i click on the newly created shortcut from the Explorer winodw, it opens the program folder in Explorer window too. What i need is to open the program folder in the same way it is opened when clicking "Start -> Programs"
Any ideas??

That's the same error message I got too.

Any help from anyone? I would like to know too cause mine is opening up the explorer too!

Bump. Hope this thread is not forgotten

How to remove 'start' icons and replace it with eg. an exe file

Hiii,
Is it possible to remove icons from the start menu?? And is it possible to copy an exe file (or other sort of file) to your start menu?? Because I have installed a program but it won't open from the Start menu, only when I go through explorer and then open the exe file it works.

Using a file explorer navigate to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs and delete the .lnk shortcuts you want to remove. Similarly copy and 'paste shortcut' anything you want to appear in the start menu. Don't place .exe files here, only .lnk shortcuts.

ok thanks!

TMobile HD2 question

I installed a program in the storage card, but nowhere I can find the program icon. So everytime I have to open file explorer to run the exe file. How to make a quick link so it can be shown in the quick link tabs? When I tried to add, it's not listed in the programs to choose.
Also, when I install games, the shortcuts either be under start UI or under start\games. I want to move the games shortcuts in start to start/games, how can I do it?
Thanks.

Just copy the .exe (using explorer) and paste a shortcut to Windows/Start Menu/Programs for your apps or Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games for your games.
