I'm not sure if this has been posted before (I couldn't find it if it has), but I was getting really sick of IE going to www.yahoo.com every time I hit the IE button on my Jasjar. I finally fixed it by changing the following registry key:
HKLM/HARDWARE/OEM/KEYBD/PieHomePage
I just deleted www.yahoo.com and left the value blank... that just opens IE with whatever page it was on. You can also put another address in there to open that site every time you hit the IE button.

I have noticed that the link/app behind the IE button on the iMate JASJAR has embedded the www.clubimate.com link and every time you click the button it tries to open up that site. I want to change that so that it acts like the IE icon does on the start menu so that the web page I have up does not get overwritten. The site is not the home page defined in IE because I have already changed that. I am guessing that they have it as a parameter passed on the command line in the button. The button applet does not even have that button as one that can be touched. Anyone know what part of the registry to look at?
Thanks

Get a registry editor.
Go to - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\OEM\Keybd
Change the string called PieHomePage to the website address of your choice.
rilot, is there anyway to make the button NOT go to any website? I just want it to switch me back to PIE without changing the page I was browsing.
For example, I'm looking at a web page, and decide to go check my mail by hitting the messaging button - then viewing my mail. Then, when I press the Internet Explorer button I just want to go back to the same spot I left in the browser, not launch any page at all. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Just edit the dword so that it is blank.
Works fine, just tested it.
For the MDA Pro from T-Mobile (Germany) the registry key is different:
\HKLM\software\HTC\PIEPlug\home
internet key
how to disable the key at all, or better to make it a "space" key?
It's just next to "space" in my T-Mobile MDA pro and I can't stand it goes on the net each time I press it by chance typing!!!
thks
Does anyone know how to turn off the stupid "You are about to go online" message everytime u press the button on the MDA? :roll:

In my Qtek9000 the registry change doesn't work. It keeps on appearing the OEM page of the carrier which suxx...
So I created a blank html page and copied it in the Windows directory All set now
You can do the same...
Did you try setting your homepage to "about:blank" ?
I can't seem to figure out how to change that button left of space bar so that it launches IE to my home page (Google).
Everytime I click it, it goes to O2's pda site.
Any tips?
Thx.
It'll be in the registry, can't be arsed to look now
But if you copy the \windows\default.htm file (the web page you see when you open PIE every time) to your PC, you can open it up in Notepad and put a link to Google - meaning you can just click on the link on the page instead of click on the home page button whenever you want to go to Google.
The right HTML for that is
Go to Google
Just put that in anywhere (so long as it's inbetween the <body> and </body> tags, easiest way is to just paste that code in right before the </body> tag, which will put the link at the bottom of the page anyway.
That's one quick-and-dirty way of hacking the web page to show a link to Google - once you've done that and saved the modified page on your PC, just replace the html file on your PC with the copy in the \windows directory on your XDA.
Job's a good un!
AboutURLs
Look for the dword 'home' with value 'file://\Windows\default.htm' in key AboutURLs
Cheers, M
Look at the wiki. It's exlpained in there.
To save you the trouble: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD and change the key to whatever you want.
Thanks for following up with more definitive answers guys (I actually like hacking the O2 start page, call me weird) - I just didn't have the mental capacity to go sifting through the registry once more at 5am on a Thursday morning.
Even if I 've changed the home page to something else (Google), whenever I launch from the hard button, it defaults to O2's website. Is there any way to change this?
The URL is stored in the registry:
HKLM\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD
PieHomePage = "<your URL here>"
I have mine set to Google.com/pda because it is a very small page to load in case of accidental pushing and GPRS connection.
I actually have "Home" on PIE set to Google.com/ig so that I can go just about anywhere I want in a couple of keypresses/screentaps.
Oh, I think there are longwinded ways of changing this, like Tweaks2K and others, but this is the one stop solution to your question.
sorry if this doesnt answer ur question, but i suggest using opera as it really goes 2 ur set homepage w/o any tweak. that, aside from its other several advantages over IE. :wink:
on a slightly different but also related topic, how do i map d default IE button on d HTC univ 2 launch opera? ive tried PQzII but i cant find d IE button, or is it named differently? :?
instead of a URL, specify the full path to the Opera executable.
When I open Programs I always have an shortcut named: "Fun & Info".
I know it's a shortcut to the file: stk_uippc.exe
Is there any way to get rid of this icon? I don't mind that the file keeps existing in the Windows directory.
I tried delete the shortcut but it keeps coming back after a soft reset.
Think I've found it myself, but I wanted to share it with my fellow forum members
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\STK_Service]
"Keep"=dword:00000001
Changed to:
"Keep"=dword:00000000
That's all!
Thanks for the info, but after changing it in the registry my phone starts up very slow than before. It takes about 2,5 times longer, about 4 minutes. (After I shut it down and switch it on again, or when using a soft reset)
If I change it back again in the registry to "1" (Decimal) my phone starts up at normal speed..... (about 1,5 minutes)
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?
On WM6 I've noticed that it doesn't change no matter what value I set in the regsitry.
I've tested it and it works perfect for me:
Just delete the complete "STK_Service" key. After this I soft reset my phone. Make sure you have removed the STK Shortcut of course
If you want to restore the key I suggest you export the key before deleting it!
Thanks for the fast reply. Just tried and it works.
Btw, do you know how to get Fring working with Orange world / proxy?
I can't get past the initial registration due to the message: internet connection is not available.
I can use IE and browse the internet with no problems.
Sorry if it's not the right topic to post the question.
Indeed a bit off topic.. ..try searching the forum
TIP:
www.google.com
SEARCH TERM site:http://forum.xda-developers.com
Works much better than the build in search.

haha thanx man! i was looking everywhere for this solution. I have a vodafone card and it keeps inserting a CytaVodaMENU in my start menu. deleting the registry value fixed my probs! thanx!
I've tried changing the amount of tabs I can open simultaneously in opera:config but after a soft reset it reverts back to only 2 (which isn't nearly enough). Does anyone know how that is happening?
The same goes for a change to the keyboard settings. Ive tried editing eT9.Rhodium.kmap.txt so the mail button is set to Tab, but a fsoft reset reverts that change as well.
Anyone an idea?
I had the same issue with mine. I kept changing the setting and eventually it stayed at 5 tabs. Not sure what I did differently other than I was persistent.
If you want it to work you need to kill the opera process completely because on the TP2 it is always running due to the push internet. Several ways to do so. I used this method.

Install the cab. Reset your device. Open Opera and change the settings you want. Exit Opera. Open again to check if settings are saved. If not, change settings, exit opera, restart device. Now the settings should be saved. You can now uninstall the cab or keep it if you like it.
Let me know if it works for you.
I had that issue a while back. I've since given up on going into opera:config.
I find it much easier to just copy the opera.ini file over to my desktop, edit it accordingly, and then copy it back. Try it out. It's not as daunting as it sounds.
I'm a little confused, I don't see anywhere in Opera where you can change the number of tabs. Do I have to go into a separate app to change the Opera settings? I'm stuck at 2 tabs which is worthless.
