Is it possible to actually 'close' programs using the internet explorer hard button?
I have SPBPlus installed, and the 'x' button is set to actually close programs rather than minimize then. When i assign the (ok/close) behaviour to the internet explorer button, and then use it to close a program, it only minimizes it.
So basically, is it possible to make my internet explorer button actually close programs?
thanks.
Yes it is possible with SPB Plus installed. Look further down the list of options and choose [Close]
This should do the trick.
I use Wisbar Advance 2 for that. I also have a .cpl that you drop in your windows folder that will show up in Settings>System>Soft Key so you can use the soft keys as a close button. I have the left SK for Windows and the right SK for a Close button.

Hello whats good,
Seems Like no one in the above posts interpreted what you meant.
I understand that U want to close your apps. with the HARDWARE BUTTON <INTERNET EXPLORER>
I assume (As u have stated above) U have set <ok/close> as the Action assigned to it.
Thats why It Minimises it.
To CLOSE IT FULLY. simply assign <CLOSE OK>
SCROLL DOWN >>>
Ok/CLOSE and CLOSE OK are Two Different Things.
That shall close it Proper.
PS::I too was using OK/CLOSE previously. Thanx to your Post I am able to Close my apps Fully.
One thing though It takes a mere 1.5 seconds to open my 2900 Contacts Book. But My device is lighter all the time with all the memory Hogging apps Down !!
One more thing I shall add (editing My Post)
Only those apps. whose page is Open shall be closed by this.
Not the background apps.
I know this doesn't answer your question, but you should install smartskey and use the right softkey button to close apps. Alternatively, the end call button seems to close most apps.
thanks for the replys, all helped, i've finally managed to actually close programs without having to always touch the little x in the top corner with my big clumsy thumb!
Im not really familiar with pocket windows but basically, can i create a shortcut to a specific folder. I know there are buttons linking to my documents, and on SPB plus you can have a link to my documents on your today screen, but can i choose a shortcut to a specific folder i have created, on my memory card, and put the shortcut on the today screen?
Thanks again again!
Post the .cpl file?

with the spb pocketplus plug-in, you can. click (and hold) on it and a dialog box will open, do the following:
choose Add/Remove Items...
choose Add (left softkey location)
choose Folder
select the folder that you want (you can press on the '+' sign at the storage card folder in order to choose sub-folders)
I can't seem to figure out how to reassign the Internet Explorer button (next to the space bar) to open Opera. Likewise, it defaults to an O2 page in its current state.
i'm not sure about your device, but on my qtec9090 there's an IE icon on a button on the hardware keypad almost next to the spacebar. And by default it was linked to a webpage from the phonecompany. Looks very familar to your question.
On my qtec9090 this button is defined via the buttons-settings and it's button number 9.
Maybe this helpes?
Just read the WiKi. It is in there: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
Thanks. I can now open to the page of choice, however it's still defaulting to PIE. How can I map to launch Opera? Anyone? Thanks.

Nah, the IE button doesn't show up.
I did it, and as far as I remember all I did was change the PIE homepage to \Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe.
Now, IE will open, but opera will the open. Its the best soution available at the moment.

There is no way as of now to map the IE button to any application. The only thing we can do as of now is change PIE home page with the WiKi Instructions.

Read my post above :wink: . You can use it to open Opera!
...if you change, for button 2, with total commander the link inside
\windows\appsbuttons]Internet Explorer.lnk
to (or similar place):
23#"\programfiles\opera\opera.exe"
it worked for me...
Magic Button shows running apps and lets manage them with stylus.
But I want to switch between apps and close them using ONLY keyboard.
Ideally, task switching should be performed with one button press!
Do you have any suggestions?

For example, with he PHM AltTab I've often elaborated on in my articles. I've uploladed it for you to http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/AltTab.exe
Works great on my Universal after associating it with a hardware program launcher button

What exactly does this do?
Thanks! I will try it.
I use PQz to use my SYM key as an Ctrl/Alt key, this way I have Alt-TAB. It also gives you every Ctrl-combination (Ctrl-c!) and lets you make your own combinations for programs, shortcuts, phonenumbers etc. Since I used PQz, I stopped using shortcuts on my today screen.

Hi,
Unfortunately I broke my touch screen. Most unfortunate thing is, my 'windows' and 'OK' button are remapped to work as right and left soft keys.
Now, I need to take backup of my SMS / mails. For this I want to open the 'programs'...
- Is there any way to open the 'Start' / 'Windows' menu by some other shortcut??
- Is it possible to 'open' the programs screen with some other shortcut?
- Is it possible to 'open' the file explorer with some other shortcut?
Thanks in advance

try pocket controller
Install MyMobilier on you pc. I seem to recall it installing automatically with no user intervention. So this might work!
Thanks Anilkaparthi & afbcamaro...
Will defenitely try both
Tried 'Pocket Controler' and it worked like charm. Thanks
For some reasons MoMobiler site was blocked from @ my office network - so couldnt try from office. Will try it later
Must say i used to use mobiller and it made my BA run so slow, but if u cant use touch screen it is a fantastic program to use
Only works for exe (shortcut ".lnk" won't work)
Code:
1. HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\ApplicationName
2. e.g. Change it to "\..\Windows\Pie.exe"
thats just linking to another application. but its not released for windows mobile use.

NICE find ! Thx alot !!!!!
It works flawlessly with Quickmenu !
So.. I got my Startmenu-Button back !
Btw: I also installed the Blackstone FM Radio Cab so no functionality is gone from my X1. The Mediapanel is nice but.... Who cares...?

???
Of course it is a registry tweak and not an application ?
What am i doing wrong?
i changed the reg key to: \Windows\CommManager.exe
but it still tells me that there is no panel manager instead of opening the communication manager.

I made this mistake as well, it's because you've missed the most important part.
1. HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\ApplicationName
2. e.g. Change it to "\..\Windows\Pie.exe"
"\..\"
You must put that at the start. I did my comm manager and has to do:
"\..\Windows\CommManagerLink.exe"
Thanks for finding this to the OP as well, been looking to get this changed for a while!
i installed one of the roms that do not have panel manager installed. this trick doesnt seem to work on the rom
im confused
cansomeone pls explain what u can achieve by changing this buttoins function other than losing acces to the panel function :S or does this simply mean u can save cpu usage
pls reply with some insight
thnx
Uh... but if you assign your panel button to something else.... then how you gonna access the panels still?
This is incase you dont use the panels.
Like me... i have had the original rom, and 2 roms here on this forum (custom)
And with every rom i had the same thing.
Having tf3d and panels will crash my phone (when i use e.g. google panel and then hit the x for panel change, then i often need to remove battery and place it again)
i rather have the tf3d then panels if i have to choose.
so thats why i use the X for a different app.
AE Button Plus
Or you could use 'AE Button Plus' it works for me flawlessly. I can assign the Panel Button to just about anything I choose.
how did you asign something to the AE button?
how do i reassign another button to run panel manager? I tried to execute /Program Files/Panel Manager/PanelManager.exe but that does not bring up the panel manager

In AE Button Plus main screen, select FILE menu and choose ADD BUTTON and the dialog box that pops up is waiting for you to press a hardware button...
Press the X-PANEL button (which will probably launch panel manager if it's installed, no matter close that down) it will then allow you to press in the dialog box 'ADD KEY' and also shows you the Key code...
The key code will be next to the newly created button in the list for you to assign to whateve you like.

Yeah, assign Quickmenu.exe to the panel button and you get a "startmenu" button. Search for Quickmenu 2.7 around the forum....
doesnt work
I followed your directions and can't get the x-panel button to run quickmenu. It still runs the panel manager. There's something else that needs to be done, and I haven't' a clue what that is.
At least I was able to load the cab file that makes panels work on the touch HD. So when I eventually get the x-panel button reassigned, I can still access panels (which I infrequently do as it is). I have yet to see the value of panels. I like running things in the background concurrently, i.e. listening to streaming radio or mp3, txt'ing, using GPS, or exploring on the web. Panel switching seems to halt other tasks.
Kinda works
Finally got quickmenu to work with the x-panel key. Another important tidbit of info is that quickmenu must already be running for the x-button to invoke it. Otherwise it loads panelmanager.
Another bit of info, as soon as you run panel for the first time (in programs, the touch HD cab adds it on install), the behavior reverts back to the x-panel key invoking panelmanager and not quickmenu. I checked, quickmenu is still running. Figure that one out. Very confusing.
i installed panel as a seperate cab, i dont have the panel manager in my programs and i cant seem to invoke it any other way besides pressing the hardware button

I heard AEbutton plus cannot grab the OK button. Is this true?
