Hi everybody. Those of you who have windows mobile SE might miss the good old start menue from first edition featuring more links than the new one. The old version had those tiny little symboles at the very top. Far more handy than these big "last used" symbols now from my poit of view.
Perhaps one reason of this restructure is the landscape mode. Here the "last used" symboles become the litte symboles ontop like in first edition.
now wouldn't it be nice if you could also define the lower sectioin of the menue with permanent links in stead of these changing ones?
So far I found out that the registry folder containing these shortcuts is to be found at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch
(at least at my Himalaya).
Within here you got
(Default) (value not set)
"1"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\SlovoEd.lnk"
"0"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Resco Registry.lnk"
"10"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Spiele\\Jawbreake r.lnk"
"11"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Astor.lnk"
"9"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Internet Explorer.lnk"
"8"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Messaging.lnk"
"7"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Alex.lnk"
"6"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Eval.lnk"
"5"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Notizen.lnk"
"4"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\movianVPN.lnk"
"3"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Sprite Backup.lnk"
"2"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Suchen.lnk"
for example while values form 0 to 5 are the 6 items that are displyed.
Now changing a value to a link (.lnk) that is located in the windows/start menue/program folder and a softrest brings this new item up..
The only thing that one would have to do to permanently set one's links is to stop the device from changing that folder.
unfortunatelly I have no idea how to do that... maye sombody of you can help?
Thanks alot
Alex
I've tried everything. Delete single values within taskswitch. delete taskswitch...
I added Dwords to Shell and taskswitch as follows:
NoRecentTaskHistory = 1
NoRecentTaskSwitch = 1
NoRecentTaskSwitchHistory = 1
NoTaskHistory = 1
NoTaskSwitch = 1
NoTaskSwitchHistory = 1
non of them works.
Actually I'm not into inventing new regestry vlues.
Perhaps someone of you knows...
Thanks a lot. I think a lot of people would appreciate this.

OK, so the "Messaging" line has disappeared from my Today screen on my 3-day-old K-JAM. I'm unhappy, I like that little line there.
It isn't listed in Settings | Today | Items.
MemMaid shows it, however; I suspect that's because the registry entry is still present. Here's mine:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Messaging"
DLL : SZ = "" (blank)
Enabled : DWORD = 1
Flags : DWORD = 0
Options : DWORD = 0
Order : DWORD = 2
Selectability : DWORD = 2
Type : DWORD = 4
Is there something wrong here? Can someone compare theirs to mine to see if there's a difference? Is there something else that has to be configured to get it to show up on Today?
(If it matters, this happened after installed Agile Messenger. I downloaded it from PocketGear, installed it, set up an account, and got a notice that an upgrade was available, do I want to install it? Sure! It downloads, then tries to install, but of course it can't because it's already running, I presume. Do I want to terminate the currently running program? Sure! Then the installer bombs, too. Turns out I didn't like Agile Messenger, but uninstalling it was a pain. It didn't show up in Remove Programs nor Running Programs, so I had to soft-reset to kill the task, then use MemMaid to clear it all out.)
Hey guys, Ive ran into a little problem.
I was messing around with Memaid, and I accidently deleted the 'Calendar' registry entry for the today screen, which also removed the entry from the Settings>Today>Items menu.
I assume the actual entry is in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items
Would someone be kind enough to look up the entry for me so I could add it back to my registry.
Thanks!
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Enabled = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Flags = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Options = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Order = 33
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Selectability = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Type = 1
"Order" will change as you move it around.
Thanks!
I only have experience with PHM, TRE and Total Commander's registry editing, unfortunately. However, they all work more or less the same.
Somewhere in Resco's File Explorer should be a registry editor. See that you get that running first Then navigate to...
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\
You should have a menu option somewhere where you can choose 'Create' or 'New', followed by 'Key'. Pick that one and you'll probably be asked to give it a name. For the name, choose "Calendar" (with quotes here, though I don't think you need it with the quotes).
That should get you the...
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\
key.
Now in the same menu where you could create a Key, you can probably choose to create a "DWORD" or "decimal" value. Pick that one for each of the items I had listed, and give it the appropriate name. E.g. "Enabled". It will likely also ask you for the value you want to give it - enter the numbers above (make sure that if you get an option to either edit in decimal, hexadecimal or binary, that you're using decimal. Doesn't matter for most of these, but for any future registry edits it'd be good to keep in mind to pick the correct one).
That's all there is to it
Alternatively, I believe that Resco can 'import' .reg files, and somebody could toss this in a .reg file for you to import - I don't know what type of .reg file Resco expects, or I'd attach one myself
It's good to know how to work those registry editing things anyway.
Equivalent entries for Mail?
I just installed and removed GoodLink (a corporate email client) on my Treo 700w. It modifies the Today screen and replaces Mail with it's own entry.
However after removing GoodLink I found that my old mail entry on the today screen was not restored. I used the phm registry editor to add this:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Enabled = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Flags = 0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"\Mail"\Options = 0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Order = 9
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Selectability = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Type = 2
which makes Mail appear in the list of available Today plugins. However if I enable it in the today options nothing appears on the Today screen.
Can someone supply the corect entries or tell me what I might be missing? Thanks.
I thought creating a thread that shows the various registry hacks might be helpful/useful/contructive/destructive.
I am still pretty new to all of this and would love to know what others have discovered to get 'more' from our PPCs.
Thanks in advance for the contributions!
I am using PHM Registry for my editor.
did you try searching? they are scattered all over this forum

HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VIB
STRENGTH_LOW set to 1.
--------------------------------------------------
16-Disable Ambient Light Sensor
KEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\BACKLIGHT set auto sensor from 1 to 0
--------------------------------------------------
17-how to get rid of some of thoes annoying sounds while on calls or making calls (or attempting), such as adjusting the volume,
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds
Loudestincallvolume = the sound it makes when you turn the volume all the way up (that annoying little useless sound) delete this key to remove that
Quietestincallvolume = the same but for when you turn it all the way down
Networkdrop = the dropped call /w lost signal sound
Calldrop = caller hangs up before you do sound
---------------------------------------------------
18-Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.
NOTE: I tried this on my 6800 and changed the v0 to v1 and now it doesn't have just one long vibrate. v0 sets it to vibrate always.
-----------------------------------------------------
19-FIX THE SLOW RINGER
To do this, you will need your MSL, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2)
-----------------------------------------------------
20-Change scroll bar size
Navigate to HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\ and tweak the following values.
cyHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars Height in pixels (default is 13)
cxVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 13)
-----------------------------------------------------
21-Save Attachments or the Whole Email on your SD Card
The Key in WM6 changed from WM5. In WM6 it is:
HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings
For Attachments add "AttachPath" value="\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments" datatype="string"
For the rest of the email add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Inbox" datatype="string"
For the paths above to work, you need to have the Inbox folder and Attachments subfolder created already. You must reboot for them to take effect.
-------------------------------------------------------
22-add the AM/PM to your time in the title bar
To Add AM or PM
1) Open your registry editor (either PHM Registry Editor or Resco Explorer 2003).
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
3) Create 1st String Value: Name = S1159 & String = Am
4) Create 2nd String Value: Name = S2359 & String = Pm
5) Create 3rd String Value: Name = STFmt & String = hh:mm t'M'
6) Soft-reset
There has to be a space after the am or pm otherwise it will not display
Also
am=aM pm=pM
Am=AM Pm=PM
--------------------------------------------------------
23-Changing SoftKeys
Create the following keys and Strings in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3
112 is the left key and 113 is the right.
Set Default to what you want the key to read (ie. SMS)
Now for each key create a new string named Open and set the target path.
--------------------------------------------------------
24-This edit allows you to see the duration of your Vision connection along with a button to disconnect it.
You see it in the bubble that is displayed when you tap the Vision icon.
Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Click ControlPanel
Click Phone
[at this point, the buttom grey status bar should read \HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone'
Click the bottom menu 'edit'
Select new dword value
Change the value name to "Flags2" (no quotes).
Select the 'hexidecimal' button.
Type 10
Click ok.
You should now see in the 'name/data' section:
Flags2 16 (0x00010)
When done, reset the device.

Great hacks. Thanks for your contribution.
big list of em over here.
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Tweaks+and+Hacks?t=anon
im usually not one to mess up my phone (ie im usually very cautious, dont play with what i shouldnt) but i wouldnt touch that ringtone modifying hack. i just tried it, hoping to set the ringtone more like it was on an old razr of mine (4vibes and a break) and it really messed up the phone application. like it wouldnt open. even after multiple restarts, everything. after i called my phone from another one, the phone app opened, thankfully, and then it started working but gave me quite a scare before that
EDIT- nope, that didnt fix it either. even after calling from another phone, once my 6800 is restarted, the phone app wont work again. god this will be the 4th hard reset this week. lame.
Duration of the rington
Has anyone an idea if it is possible to say the phone how long the ringtone should play till the phone hangs up and went into mailbox.
I mean is it possilbe to set the duration to eg. 30 sec or more till it hangs up.
I know there is a hack to stop ActiveSync from starting automatically but I can't find it. Searched here and PDAphonehome. Anyone have it?
Hey guys, I'm an active user on the Wing forums. I was wondering if there is such a reg edit to save SMS to the SD card instead of on the phone? Thanks for any details!

have you unlocked your extended ROM? Do that and rub the IOTA cab.
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I am trying to update the
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1\Font Alias]
registry keys but with CE Reg Editor it says it doesn't have permission. I can edit the entries in many other places though. I've dug around a bit and the below appears to come recommended for getting round some security (particularly for some dll's and cabs), but depending on where I look the numbers are a bit different and sometimes the keys are as well. Please can someone confirm if these are the keys and whether they are all necessary.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies \0000 1001 = 2
Change the value data from 2 to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies \0000 1005 = 16
Change the value data from 16 to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies \0000 1017 = 128
Change the value data from 128 to 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies \Policies
Add new value "0000101b": Dword = 1
Thanks!!
I've upgraded to the new 3.14 WWE ROM BTW and I don't remember having this problem before (it could be that one of the cabs I applied though made the changes for me, I'm just not sure)
