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:
You say reg edit?? How do you do this?

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" ?
Hi,
I've looked, clicked and sworn at it, but I just don't know how to get rid of the small bar at the very bottom of the today screen, just above the softkey indicators. At the moment it just has the (standard t-mobile) mini battery icon and the mini connection icon.
I've got no idea where the controller for this part of the today screen is. I'd really love to get rid of it altogether and have a few extra pixels for pocketplus. It just seems to be totally wasted screen real estate for me. I see other people have got useful stuff in this area, if there's a personalisation programme out there for it, please hit me up.
Cheers,
Chris
If you just want to remove those icons - which removes the tray as well - see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40133
If you want to remove it altogether, try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331
And if you want to customize the tray with icons to specific apps, try "PHM TrayLaunch" - it's part of the PHM PowerToys - can probably be ripped out somehow and made stand-alone.
Sorry guys, ToggleToday is still WM2003 only right now. I'll update as soon as I get a few minutes. It's complicated to write, since the tray gets refreshed on screen rotations etc. And I'm just too busy to deal with it properly right now Soon...

Hey, thanks very much guys
PHM TrayLaunch looks like a very useful app, but I'm struggling to successfully add programs/icons. For example, if I want to have ActiveSync as one of the icons in the tray, does anyone know what should be entered as the "target"?
I'm afraid I don't have my phone in front of me, but trying navigating through your \windows\start menu and checking the properties for existing shortcuts.
Eg Find activesync, display properties, and it will display the target for the shortcut. That's your baby.

Unfortunately I can't find a way to display properties for a shortcut - Explorer's "tap & hold" menu only allows you to cut/copy/paste etc - there's no "properties" window like there is on normal PC-Windows.
Fork, try gsfinder or another explorer replacement.
Also try having a read through this:

Thanks Vijay, I've downloaded Resco Explorer 2005 but cannot find the ActiveSync shortcut anywhere on my device! Does anyone know what the shortcut is to start ActiveSync?
It's not obvious!
\windows\replog.exe
V
Thanks for the reply Vijay, but replog.exe doesn't exist anywhere on my device.
Sorry, missed one letter
"\windows\repllog.exe" on my Universal.
V
Thanks Vijay, bizarely repllog.exe doesn't show up in my Windows folder using Resco Explorer, but setting this as the path gives me an ActiveSync icon in the tray - so it's obviously finding it.
Unfortunately, clicking the icon doesn't launch ActiveSync. It briefly displays "Connect to" in the top title bar before disappearing, and the Today page remains onscreen all the time.
Any other suggestions you can think of?
Thanks,
Fork, it depends on what state the activesync app is in at the time. It doesn't always like to show itself in my experience as well. Not entirely sure why. Sometimes when you're disconnected it will show, sometimes when you're connected it'll show?
In resco, ensure you're displaying hidden files, system files and rom files.
V
Thanks Vijay, I hadn't spotted that option in Resco Explorer - it shows up now.
Finally gotten my very own D810
This is not my first PPC...but I guess I still need to get used to WM5....
I have questions...and I have read through most of the threads from here before buying...guess I still need some help...
1)Does the connection activesync for your D810 disconnects itself after a while?? Mine seems to do it after like 1-2 mins...even if I'm in the middle syncing some stuff...strange...
2)Is it possible to customise the 2 buttons on our D810. The buttons for "Calendar" and "Contacts"...I can't seem to find any options for that.
3)Whatever happened to the shortcut to "Running Programs"?? Not in WM5 anymore??
4)Have you guys notice that activesync runs at startup in our PPC?? Everytime I do a soft reset...without any cables connected...I will go to "running programs" and the activesync is there...running...possible to change that??
5)Any faster way to get to "Comms Manager" without using the "HTC today" plugin?? I don't like that plug in as it cannot be customised to our needs...tried copying the shortcut from the "windows" folder but it seems to be a "system file" and will not show up in the "start menu"
6)And yes....I can't register my CE-Star as well....I d/l the "a" version...installed it through AS...at the end of the installation...there was a "register" button...I clicked on it...it was a broken link...and that's it...didn't get any email from dopod after that...
7)Anybody manage the get the registery tweak for the defaultim to work?? I can't seem to get it to work..even though I'm very sure I got the registry value correct...
Set default SIP
The default SIP (Secondary Input Panel) on practically every device is the Keyboard. You may prefer entry with a different SIP. If so, you can set this to be the default SIP through:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\DefaultIM = |SIP ClassID|
{42429690-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9} = Letter Recognizer
Think that's all the qns I have for today. Will continue exploring!!
1)Does the connection activesync for your D810 disconnects itself after a while?? Mine seems to do it after like 1-2 mins...even if I'm in the middle syncing some stuff...strange...
No it does not. The behaviour is just like you wrote. What is the problem with that?
2)Is it possible to customise the 2 buttons on our D810. The buttons for "Calendar" and "Contacts"...I can't seem to find any options for that.
I think there is 3rd party software doing this. WM5Newmenu for instance changes one of the softkeys to a new menu.
3)Whatever happened to the shortcut to "Running Programs"?? Not in WM5 anymore??
I cant remember having such a shortcut on WinCE. You can see all runing programs (and terminate them) going to settings, system, memory and selecting the right tab.
4)Have you guys notice that activesync runs at startup in our PPC?? Everytime I do a soft reset...without any cables connected...I will go to "running programs" and the activesync is there...running...possible to change that??
You are right. Why would you want to change this?
5)Any faster way to get to "Comms Manager" without using the "HTC today" plugin?? I don't like that plug in as it cannot be customised to our needs...tried copying the shortcut from the "windows" folder but it seems to be a "system file" and will not show up in the "start menu"
That is something I would llike to know too. In fact I would prefer to switch the phone off with one click and to toggle BT and WiFi with one click.
6)And yes....I can't register my CE-Star as well....I d/l the "a" version...installed it through AS...at the end of the installation...there was a "register" button...I clicked on it...it was a broken link...and that's it...didn't get any email from dopod after that...
What is CE-Star?

I also don't remember this one but I highly recommend a program called HandySwitcher by Dinarsoft -- it's only around $8 but works great. Initially it'll have silly options enabled like overcrowding the title bar with icons like the HandySwitcher icons but you can disable them and instead place an icon in the today screen tray to use to see a list of programs running in the background and terminate whichever you like or all of them.

I don't recall having that problem. Maybe it's a Dopod ROM thing?

Create your own shortcut to \Windows\CommManager.exe by creating a file called 'Comm Manager.lnk' in \Windows\Start Menu\ or wherever you like and put the following line in that file:
21#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
If you like you can use the utility PHM Traylauncher (which I've attached to this post) to place it permanently in the today screen tray for easy access.

I don't know the answer to this but if you figure it out, please share with us as I'd like to change it from Pocket MSN Messenger to Pocket Skype.
Hope this helps.
anyone knows how can I add a windows media player shortcut to the today screen? (i tried settings-->today-->items but there is no option for adding wmp on the today screen)
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.

Hi. I have recently got a Touch 2. On the tabs along the bottom of the screen, the fifth tab from the left is the one featuring a 'globe' icon. Tapping it opens the 'Opera' browser. I prefer using Internet Explorer and (at the moment) have to open that by using the 'Start' menu. Is there a way of making IE the default browser so that it starts when the 'globe' tab is tapped? I imagine this requires dumping of 'Opera' and making tapping of the 'globe' icon leading to IE. HTC gave me a solution, then, when that didn't work, said, 'It can't be done.' Any ideas? Cheers
I know exactly what you need...
1. Find application called M2DC on this forum.
2. Install it.
3. Run it. There are some tabs at the bottom of the screen.
4. Find tab "Internet" and click on it.
5. Then change the path to the Internet Explorer in the Windows folder.
6. That's it. You should be able to use globe icon to run IE.
(I am not sure, but you maybe need to softreset the phone after changing that.)
Hi, Mekki99.
I did that and it works, well almost. IE starts from the tab on the 'Today' screen, but then says 'Cannot find 'hxxp:///home'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.' If I advance to the relevant menu to go to the 'Home' page, it finds the one i have lodged as the Home Page. Where to from here? Cheers.
why do you wanna surf the net with internet explorer and not opera mini 5, which is super fast compared to the old opera or internet explorer?
Quite simply, I prefer IE. Thanks.
Hello, my solution for this problem:
In TotalCommander go into registry folder (\\Plugins\registry)and go to \HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\
1.Changing browser- open file (WebBrowserType) and change value from 1 to 2.
2.Changing URL- open folder Customized and find file (BannerUrl) and change value to your favorite homepage.
3.Restart
Hi. Thanks for your solution.
Can you help me a bit further?
What is TotalCommander?
How do I get to the quoted registry folder?
Cheers
Hi, Ondrej.
Don't worry, I have followed your directions using a bit of lateral thinking and solved that issue. Thanks heaps.
Now can you turn your mind to the problem I relate in thread 730375 (On the 'Start' menu, there are a number of icons / applications. They all start with one tap. Except 'Internet Explorer'. The first tap on the IE icon, takes you back to the 'Today' screen, with 'Internet Explorer' briefly being able to be seen in place of 'Start', then the words disappear. However, the programme does not run. On tapping 'Start', again, and then tapping once on the 'IE' icon (again), it runs. This happens every time I want to use IE. Why? HTC Contact Centre suggested I place IE on the 'Programs' page and try that. It was the same. They have failed to respond to my response. Is there a remedy? The same behaviour occurs when opening from the 'Programs' tab on the 'Today' screen, or from the 'Browser' tab on the 'Today' screen'.)
Cheers. Dave
Hi, TotalCommander is a file manager program for windows. You have to download and install a pocket pc version. Because Iam new here, I cant write you url. Please find this program on internet. (Download cab for arm/pxa/xscale).
Start a TotalCommander and go into root (\) You will see a \\Plugins folder.
Hi, Ondrej.
Thanks. See my last post before yours. I have fixed that issue, but want to resolve the last one! Any help appreciated. Cheers.
I'm working on it.
Thanks, Ondrej.

Here with me, I don't want to use IE, I prefer to use Opera. The HTC im using came with Opera Mobile 9.5 and is the browser that opens when i click on the globe on one of the tabs of M2D. I downloaded mobile opera 10 for windows touch phones thinking that it will update the current opera browser, and to my dissatisfaction - it did not. Opera Mobile 10 appears on my program list.
How do I make it the browser that opens when i click on the globe? Should I follow the instructions provided in this thread? I don't want to mess up my registry and have irreversible issues.

Is this the same procedure if I would like to change it to any browser, say Opera Mobile 10? The person who started this thread wrote he got problems after he did this operation.
