PS. i installed AE Button Plus, but i didn't know how to edit my buttons and removed it, so i think installig it removed that wifi button.
i need help! thanks

that button bought me straight to the menu.
i don't know what the butto is called, but it's located on the left side, and its on the the upper left.
thanks!
Hi, yes its called the comm button - button 5.
Try - goto settings\buttons and see if you can reassign button 5 to comm.
If button 5 has dissappeared from the list then ae button plus has screwed it up - like it did for me and I had to hard reset - darn!
pwwwha! nooooooooooooo!
hard reset!???
is there anyway i can hard reset, and still restore all my progs and info etc...
thanks
I am not saying you have to do a hard reset - try the other advice first.
There is possibly a registry tweak to correct it - but i dont know it. If you have to hard reset this advice will make it easier.
Create backup of windows\start menu - most programs that are on the storage card dont need a reinstall.
Create copy of pim.vol in the root directory of the device - contains contact and appt information. After flash change the new pim.vol to pim.vo and copy and paste old pim.vol (use total commander or gsfinder file explorers for this) and soft reset and you will have info back.
Create backup of windows\favorites - for all your internet favorites.
You can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After rom upgrade copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!
That will make restore a bit quicker than otherwise.
Found the registry key - if you can check this - HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\keys\40C6
40C6 is button 5 and if not there needs to be added. There are a few dwords that will need to be added as well if deleted.
thanks! i found it, but how would i add it? thanks in advance!
woo hoo! i got it to work! thanks!
do u know any other keys?
i want the volume up and down to be D left and right.

Under settings buttons... always worth switching off and restarting then if that does not hard reset.

same problem here........................probably you installed another key mapper too? (AEBPlus).
It seems a hard reset is the only solution, or somebody could post the registry entry where this key map is defined!?
TIA
Yep put AEBPlus in didnt like so i uninstalled it now no comm manager Ahhh!!!!
After uninstalling AEBPlus, you keep stuck with only "4 buttons", at least in the System Settings. Happily everything keeps working...............expect the CommMgr button.
Either somebody posts the correct reg-entries for this key, or you have to do a hard reset.
I think it might be solved if you place the original files back into: \Windows\AppButtons
Maybe somebody can post a RAR file of that folder?
Second thing, I found the keys in the register. They can be found here:
Mobile device\HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
You will see that the 4 keys are there left by AEBPlus. The missing keys should be here when you have a working Wizard
Hope someone can post the keys and values aswell?
I had the same problem. The registry values in this post will restore function:

You have to add a string to the register. Then give that string the right name and value
AEBPlus was completely rewritten recently. New version will not harm any application buttons ever, compatible with almost any WM 2003/2003SE/2005 device and has a lot of new features

I have just got my first Windows Mobile 5 Device, a MDA Vario. Its great, but Ive put Photo Contacts Pro on it, and changed the home screen soft key from contacts to Photocontactspro. Thing is, the app name is too long and gets cut off to "photo con"
Is there anyway to rename this softkey?
Thanks
You can do that in the registries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 - right key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113 - left key
Values:
Default=Button label
Open=command
Cool, thanks
Hmmm
I wonder if you can help me.
I tried VITO ButtonManager and it has well and truly screwed up my softkey definitions for the Today Screen.
The right one seems to change what is does and the left one does not work at all.
I have disabled Button Manger but still cannot get the softkeys to work again.
How would I reset them to their original values?
Please bear in mind I have NEVER changed a registry key before?
Robin
Remapping SoftKeys
Robster, there is a complete incompatibility between our Wizard and VitoButtonMapper soft.
For interested people there is a specific soft to change Right and Left key applications (for instance, the right softkey is now launching TomTom instead of Contact).
Juste time to find where I may share this soft with you !
You could just follow the registry tweaks up top
It's not much more difficult from using Windows Explorer and notepad
I have a Orange SPV M3100 (tytn)
just got it 2nd hand. it works nicely, but everytime after a few hours of not using it. when i try to use it again, the 2 buttons that's suppose to press the softbuttons don't work.
To get them working again, i have to reset my thing.
The softbuttons themselves still work. I can click on the 2 things and my file explorer / contacts show up. But the physical buttons that's suppose to press those 2 things don't for some reason.
Any ideas?
Softkeys not working
I've had similar issues. It has happened a few times actually. Now when I install a new rom I place short cuts in my window\startmenu\ accessories or system files folder depending on the application i try to shortcut. Just locate the actual exe file for the program copy it and go to the windows folder you want it in and hold stylus and hold and paste short cut then rename as you wish. it wll now show up in your programs folders on you menus. or use advance configurations 1.0 from Shaps it works very well. There is also a softkey app in the forum that works well also.
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
I used Soft Key to change the shortcut @ the bottom of my screen i only wanted to change Calendar to New SMS, But when i started the Program it made me change both soft keys & Contacts is not in the list. Now i have New SMS & anything but Contacts.
Any body else had this problem? or does anyone have a fix for this????
Funny enough even if i navigate :
Start
Settings
Menus
Contacts is not in that list either.......Weird......
I have attached screen shots to help.
Thanks....
Learn to use the registry. The keys you are looking for are in:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys
Key 112 is your left soft key, and key 113 is your right soft key. You just rename the, "Default" value to what you want to appear on the screen, and the, "Open" value to what you want to launch (the Contacts.lnk is in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder I believe).
Oh, and get Schaps Registry Editor before any of that. ; )

Thanks for the info you have given but im afraid it don't help cause the contacts.ink or even contacts.exe is nowhere to be found on my device not even in the windows folder....
I have attached a screen shot for you to see.
Thanks again.
And by the way i use PHM Registry Editor.....
Do you already have "Contacts" in your start menu? On my phone, I have Contacts in my start menu, and it is no longer in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs but it is listed in Windows/Start Menu. I think it moves the .lnk over when it's active in the start menu. Just a thought.
I mean, it has to be on the phone somewhere. Although I can't seem to locate it in Windows either...kind of makes me wonder where the phone is pulling it from when I select it...hmm...
No it's not in my start menu, proof is in 1 of the attachments in my1st post.
Last nite i installed PocketCM and used soft key to choose the shortcut to it.
Now i have what i originally wanted
Left Shortcut:......New SMS
Right Shortcut:....Contacts (through PocketCM)
Sorted.........
Screen Shot Attached
Yeah, I use iContact v0.6. I'd love to use PocketCM if it didn't try and do so much more than just contacts. It's refusal to stop trying to handle SMS is what makes me stay away from it.
Not to sure what you mean about PocketCM taking over SMS just switch it off in options if you dont like it.....
I use PocketCM V0.23 together with TouchPal 3.0 and the SMS option works well for me if anything better than the original cause it shows the whole conversation and it makes it easier for you to remember what you texting about he he he....
Try it.....
I've got a similar problem:
My right softkey was Calendar, some time ago it said "shortcut not found".
I set it again using Schap's Advanced Config, but it kept disappearing 2 or 3 times.
Now, the links for Calendar and Contacts have disappeared in the Start Menu!
I was able to copy the calendar.lnk from the \Windows directory, but there is no contacts.exe.
I do not use PocketCM, so that's not the root cause...
Try installing PocketCM and use that for a while to see it that shortcut dissapears aswell.....
Sounds like we have all got gremlins in our Hermes!!!!!!!! he he he
Here is the link:

Hope im allowed to post that......
