Hi, is there a way to create a shortcut to the bluetooth settings?
I want to add a shortcut to spb Pocket Plus...
It may be "\windows\ctlpnl.exe -???" but I can not figure it out, or a way to edit a shortcut and assign an icon?
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks,
OB

normally on the "Today" screen we can see "Conn. Manager" and "Battery" icons above the "Contacts" button.
the problem is that how to add/delete other shortcut icons in this tray, like File Explorer or Memory Status.
thanks.
PHM Tray Launch. SPB also does one. I've got VJTrayLaunch, a very very simple one.

thanks!

I will have a try.
Dear All
Do you know how can I lunch the "VJTrayLaunch" ?
You have to edit the shortcut to point to your installation folder.
My shortcuts point to \program files\....
If you're not using English OS, it may have a different name.
Find where you installed it and make new shortcuts.

Haya guys and or galls...
I'm trying to edit the icons of the shortcuts in my start menu.
I want to use this, so that I can use the Icons of programs like tomtom to startup via the overclock tool....
But now, sice the shortcut starts with the omapclock tool, the icon is the same as the tool...
Also, there is an app called flitsnav, which also launches Tomtom, and I want to use the tomtom icon rof this shortcut...
I can't seem to find the solution in this forum anywhere, but maybe I looked over it in my search..
Can someone help me???

hmmm
okay..tnx for the advice..
Although I'm not really sure what all that means ou guys wrote there..
No easier way? just to change the icon of a .exe?
Anyway thanks..
p50kombi: if you want to change the icon for the executable, which you don't (since you want to change icons for shortcuts), you would use a resource editor on your PC. That's not too easy, but it's doable.
Using custom icons on shortcuts on the PDA is not difficult.
Basically, copy this into notepad, and call it VJMail.lnk
Code:
38#\windows\tmail.exe?\windows\DIM.exe,0
38
- Ignore this (it's the length of everything after #)
\windows\tmail.exe
- this is the app you want to launch
?\windows\DIM.exe,0
- this is the icon it should show instead of its default one
- it means, take the first (ie 0th) icon in \windows\dim.exe as the icon
It's not hard. This is just an example. Use your own programs etc of course.

i'll try it right away..
Thanks VJ!!!!
It worked!!!!
Thanks VJ.....
It wasn't that hard afterall indeed!!!
Anyone got any way of extending the backlight of the keyboard allready?
OK so since I got such a quick answer on my "spacer" question, I thought I'd try it again .
I have made a shortcut to the today setup in the settings. Only problem is that I need an icon for it. I saw in another post where someone created an exe file just for the icon basically. Could someone explain how to do that.
An alternative would be if I could use the icon from Start - settings - personal - today. But I have Icon Viewer as well as RViewer and can't find it anywhere.
I'd rather be able to use a custom icon, not only for this app but for others, but help on either would be greatly appreciated.
You want to use an icon dll.
Easiest way - download PHM Tools, find the icon dll, download Microangelo on your PC, use librarian, rip out the icons, make your own icons in studio, drop them into the now empty dll, and use that dll as your new icon dll.
In order to use the new icons, you need to know how to specify icon resources in shortcuts. Search against my user name for the word "completeness".

thanks VJ, I'll check it out when I get home tonight.
I also came across this while following a link from aximsite.
The Shortcut Editor was released on this forum first AFAIK
Have a search on our forum.
But have a read through my posts on creating custom shortcuts, it's very easy and will teach you the theory behind the practise.
I think you asked specifically about use of a DLL Icon library. Perhaps not... but it's a useful technique either way.
v
yeah VJ you're right. The aximsite link pointed me here to good ol XDA
Which PHM tool do I need? Is it the shortcuts app in PHM Plus?? I'm beginning to think I'm in over my head here.
TIA
On my XDA mini, I had the convenient little icon in the tray (at the bottom of today screen) that was a shortcut to the running programs box in the settings menu.
How do I enable this on the Wizard? I don't want to have to install a whole task manager program, when the one built in works just fine. I just need to get to it easier.
try WM5NewMenu by saman, where you can set a shortcut for this particular setting, among others, through any of the softkeys or the buttons. it's a drop-down menu list, though, not an icon.

PHMTray.

Thanks, PHM tray is closest to what I was looking for, but is it windows mobile 2003 only?
I really would just like to have that little icon that goes to the memory screen back. The Magician had this, and I think other models do too.
This is the solution
Create a shortcut that has the following contents
44#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2?deviceinfo.exe,-103
You can do this by creating a shortcut to any program, then using activesync explorer to find it, copy it, and paste it on the desktop, open it with Notepad, and edit it. Start with a PPC shortcut so that it in the right character set.
Then return it to a folder on the PPC and put it in PHM Traylaunch. It gives you one touch access to the Settings/Memory program. The part after the ? controls the visual icon.
thanks! I'll try this...
though, I am sure this must be possible through some sort of registry setting...
I am digging through my EXTROM on my old XDA mini to see if I can find out
after all this, I just resorted to putting the shortcut in my start menu... it'll do for me I guess... :?
I've attached the link for those who want it.
I like things to be simple. No extra software to install, no complicated settings. Just click it and done!
thanks for all your help guys
Hopefully someone knows a simple way to do this. I am trying to create shortcuts (.lnk files) for use with PIE. For example, I have one shortcut set up like this 28#"iexplorer.exe" www.yahoo.com. This will obviously open PIE and go to yahoo.com. However, I would like to change the icon from the PIE one and make it the "Y" yahoo icon. Same for many other quick links I like to have. Any ideas. I think I am missing something simple, but I am hoping someone else has done this before.
i can "bet" that noone will help you...
shame.
Nevermind, I figured it out

cLaunch is another great program to do what you're wanting to do.
Yeah, that first pic is actually cLaunch embedded in Mobile Shell. I knew cLaunch could assign icons, but I wanted a more "universal" fix for people who do not use cLaunch.
You can add the url to your favorites in PIE, and then look up the shortcut in the windows\favorites folder
