Changing left menu button on MDA Pro to contacts

If I change in the registry the 112 key to "contacts" it doesn't work. If I change the registry to poutook.exe contacts, it doesn't work.
What am I missing, I use the reg tweak for changing the button from the wiki universal page:
"To change the softkeys on the Today screen
The left-hand softkey settings are at 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112', the right-hand softkey settings are at 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113'
The 'Default' string value can be changed to whatever text you wish to have displayed
The 'Open' string value can be changed to the program you wish to run when the softkey is pressed "

Solution
Ok, I worked it out.
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts\Contacts.lnk does the trick.
It's a bit long, but I cannot find the correct direct app link. Anyway it works like this.......

PROB SOLVED - Icons on uppr right start tl bar do nt shw up

Please see attached screen capture to visualize problem. The signal strength icon only shows 1/2 of itself, the volume and upcoming appointment icons do not show up at all. Occasionally, when the setting page is displayed, the signal strength icon will display in its entirety. Once the settings screen is minimized, then the signal strength goes back to 1/2 display. Any ideas as to what is wrong? Thank-you, MWP.[/img]

Help - Icons on upper right start tool bar do not show up
I have the same problem, it happened right after I installed Registry Wizard. Anyone know how to fix this, or what setting on Registry Wizard may have caused this?

Help - Icons on upper right start tool bar do not show up
In Regisrty Wizard, I had to set the "Task Bar Date/Time" from "Nothing" to "Clock" to get my sound and signal icons back.

What happens if you're not using registry wizard?
Is there a reg hack using Resco Registry that I can entry to correct this problem? Thanks for your help in advance, MWP.

Problem Solved!
Alter Taskbar Date/Time
Registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Key: TBOpt (dWord)
Value: 0 = Nothing
1 = Time
2 = Date
3 = Time and date
Using option 1 works like a charm and restores the tool bar icons!

Received Message Viewing Problem

This newbie got greedy--after various successful registry tweaks I tried getting rid of the "message sent" display that follows sending a text message. But my Cingular 8525 did not have the "Settings" key and following values that the post described for disabling the feature and I tried creating a settngs key and didn't to it successfully.
Bottom line is now when I open a text message the device immediatley scrolls down to the bottom of the page where there is no message and it is blank so I have to scroll back up to the top. With emails, it scrolls to the middle of the page. Any advice andor assistance would be appreciated.

Answered Myself
Turns out the problem was one of the registry tweaks I made, namely altering the behavior of the navigation button when using Explorerer. I undid that change and my problem with text and email messages is solved.

Fyi, here is the tweak that I needed to undo:
Navigate without stylus
The default behaviour for your device's four-way direction button in Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) is to jump between hyperlinks/form fields on a web page. To change this behaviour so that the button scrolls the page left, right, up and down, use the following tweak:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to re-enable hyperlink/form field navigation:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 1 (DWORD decimal)
You may still jump between links using Tab and Shift-Tab using the built-in hardware keyboard.
This setting may not stick after a soft reset.

Yes, glad you solved the issue. For those who may have done the tweak using third party software - it's commonly known as "smooth scroll" then you will find that your tab behaviour in messaging is altered. For example you can no longer tab from name/contact to the message body.

Can't get my SecondToday on the Left Button

Hello,
I want to have on my TodyScreen on the Left-Button, a button, to access the App SecondToday..
But it doesen't work!
I've tried these to ways:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2395808&postcount=67
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313171
As I searched in the Registry, the Keys are setten, but nothing happend!
I maybe reseted the Phone, 5 times!
The left Button, only says "Alle Kontakte" (the german phrase for "all contacts").
What am I supposed to do?
[Is it maybe because of the tf3d theme "Orange"??]

Try Softkey manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2485292#post2485292
Use HTC mode

i "as a monkey" followed this info reported in diamond tweaks:
31. Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum :
i left homelskargument and homerskargument empty
note SecondToday is different than secondtoday...
hope will works

Ok, never mind.. I've installed the HTC Black original Theme, and now it works.. No Problems
Now my real problem is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2904703

Any way to change the bar at the bottom of the today screen?

Im talking about the thin bar at the bottom of the screen that says "phone" on the left and "programs" on the right. Im looking for some way to change it so instead of programs on the right side i have contacts.

There are at least half a dozen apps that do this (depending on if you're using TouchFlo3D or just the standard Today screen), or you can manually edit the appropriate registry keys. Try a search, you should find the answer in a matter of seconds.

In the registry, HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
Left Soft key:
HomeLSKText
HomeLSKPath
Right Soft key:
HomeRSKText
HomeRSKPath
