First of all I searched for this answer for hours and didn't find anything.
I installed Wisbar and it had an option so that whenever you held down the stylus over the clock on the task bar it would open "Clocks & Alarms," instead of showing the menu of Analog or Digital.
Basically I want to be able to do this without having to use Wisbar (I uninstalled it already, wasn't for me.) Can anyone help? A registry edit, replacing a file with a shortcut, I dunno something. It doesn't have to be the hold option, it could just be the single tap.
Thanks in advance!
Uuuhhhhh....enable the Date Plug-in on the Today Screen and tap it?
Thanks for the fast reply but I don't use the "Date" Today plug-in. I use the tweak that displays the date and time in the task bar.

Make a shortcut on your PDA using something like GSFinder and edit it to say:
Code:
"ctlpnl.exe" cplmain.cpl,16
Otherwise use notepad on your PC, and type:
Code:
27#"ctlpnl.exe" cplmain.cpl,16
Save it as clocks.lnk, copy onto your PDA and run it.

Do I copy clocks.lnk into a specific folder on my pda?
THank you very much vijay555
Edit: I put clocks.lnk into My Documents and nothing happened it just sent me to the start of file explorer. What does this exactly do?
you need to put it in /windows/start menu/ and then it will show up when u hit start.
gtdRR: apologies, I've edited the post above to clarify - if you're using gsfinder, then make the shortcut described, but if you're using Notepad to make the .lnk (which is the easiest way, copy and paste on your PC then sync it over to your PDA) then use the 27#.... method I've posted.
You can stick it anywhere, doesn't have to be in \windows\

Thanks once again vijay555, that will be very useful but I would still like to find out if the shortcut can be enabled like it was when I had WisBar. Through the clock on the taskbar.
THANKS FOR ALL THE FAST REPLIES!
I found another way to get to Clock & Alarms. Hold the action button on the D-Pad and then click and hold the clock in the task bar. With practice this can be done in 2 sec. When you let go a menu pops up and then you just choose Clock.

I don't use that program.
samans wm5newmenu can set clocks&alarms as an item under the left or right softkey, or buttons.
I would like to see the programs that are running down in the system tray on the today screen. You know, the place where you see your battery level and connection manager icons?
Is this possible via a registry hack that anyone knows of?

There are registry tweaks for standard items like battery, clock and so on but AFAIK not ones for all running programmes. There are tons of freeware task manager apps that place running progs in task bar and probably the tray as well. Magic Button for example - but it shows in task bar.

u dont need registry twaeks!!
use some extrernal file explorer.
go to the windows folder and find the power tray file copy paste in the startup folder
soft reset is ready.
now.. about the today screen for the try programs try the "true toolbars" is the best ftask manager!!

Actually this so-called fix does not work. If you put the icon in the startup tray all it does is start the program at start up. So no, it does not put it on the tray.
Try again?
VJTrayLaunch
This is a command line application, and can be used to launch any program or shortcut.

Can't believe people would pay $13 for this.
I made VJTrayLaunch, which is fine for one or two apps, but I recommend PHM Tray Launch 110%.

This will, instead, open the phone app when you slide open the phone - which I personally think is better.

if you start to key a number you go to the phone app even when you have the pop out menu
so I don't see why disabling it

I second this! is it possible?
Yup it's possible.
Need to terminate 'ASLauncer.exe' in one of the Running Processes.
This will stop any application to run when u slide open the phone.

You need to have mortscript installed in the main memory
can this be done with the slide actions app?
if not you can get it to do other things instead
It works!
Thanks!
Hey,
I put the files exactly where you say to.
And it doesn't work.
I can manually start kill.exe and it will work
but for some reason it won't auto run on reset.
Can you give me full paths ?
Im running the latest Niki Project ROM from here, 6.1 professional
thanks

Hello,
The Run.mscr should be put in the \Windows\StartUp folder.
The Kill folder should be put in the \Program Files folder.
Simple fix
Hi there,
Also posted this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359887 but for completeness here it is again...
I just got my Niki a couple of weeks ago (with T-mobile in the UK) and this has been bugging me too ever since.
I figured that there must be a registry setting to control this somewhere as the Keypad Quicktasks are able to adjust this behaviour. Last night , I finally found it.
The setting in question is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/ActionScreen/Check
With the Keypad Quicktasks on, it is set to 1. With them off it is set to 0 and will instead launch the phone app.
Simply set it to anything else (e.g. 2) and both the Quicktasks and the phone application are disabled upon sliding open the phone. The active slide event is still recognised and sliding the phone open will still answer an incoming call.
Sweet.
Nope.. the slide open to answer call still function.... can always restart ur phone if anything abnormal.. then the ASLauncer.exe will appear again.. and ur action when slide open is as in operation again..
Trying to create a button link to "settings" in my verizon ppc for UL, any ideas?
thank you very much.
Jon
"UltimateLaunchConfig.exe" is the app. What kind of "button link" do you want? In a UL button? or a hard button?
If you mean create a button to show the settings menu, this should work for you:
Go to Windows\Start Menu
Copy Settings
Paster a shortcut (for settings) anywhere.
create a new button using the shortcut you created​

Much respect to all first and foremost. From my experience with UL, that may work for some applications located in the Windows folder, but not all. For instance, you cannot create a shortcut for the Today settings to switch up your themes, Power/Soft Reset , or even Remove Programs either. There's a slew of programs that can't be made into shortcuts within UL. It's perhaps a limitation of UL.
But there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. If one desperately wants to create /include such applications (Power, Resetting, Today, etc) with UL, one can install Mobile Shell because it create shortcuts in itself, which UL can then detect. Pocket Plus may be able do the same, but I'm uncertain.
Also, the word on the street, the next version will be 'better' and I don't have the slightest clue as to when that release will surface. I'm no expert, just a big fan like of UL. My two cents.
this answer is a little bit wrong:
1. you can make a Shortcut to ANY wm setting. example: command: ctlpnl, param: cplmain.cpl,10 (for uninstalling software) search in the other ul threads.
2. Daniel Who wrote UL made also some "smartutilities" for make calll, toggle wifi, softreset and many more, google for it. this are small .exe you can link to.
yes, i was attempting to have a button inside of UL access the settings area. I have the xv6700 which appears to have a problem with keeping UL on the today screen after a soft reset. so before I soft reset I need to change my today plugin to something else. otherwise when i reboot nothing shows up and will not load any other plug-ins. Makes it easy to have a quick link cause I'm not a stylus fan.
Thank you very much guys. would have never thought of making a short cut of it. thanks again!

Good information. This seems to be a hot topic at the moment and assume this info hasnt been highlighted before. Perhaps a brave soul will post some shortcut command params, directions/instructions in their spare time, and have them listed/located in one thread for easy like the icons. (And also some of those "smartultilities" as well).
How about game area ? my problem 's it's difficult to create all game in icons. so I would like to make a link to call all game folder as when we call it by startmenu

Well, I'm not very brave, but I knew this page existed on PPCSG.COM, so I thought I'd share it. It shows how you can create .LNK files to many of the Settings Applets. Hope it helps.

Here is a link to majority of the settings options:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340974
Just find the one you want, open notepad on your PC copy the line into notepad, with only that text, and save as power.lnk, for example, then have the button set to that link.
Any Idea on how to add a folder shortcut? I want to have my different photo albums
Is there a way to specify the appropriate ICON in the .lnk file? I have the "cplmain.cpl,26" working but it just shows a generic icon.
Just change the icon in the display tab.

Did you ever get an answer on this? If so, how do you make a shortcut to a folder? I've tried using the context menu of creating a shortcut and then having UL point to the shortcut but it doesn't open it.
Thanks for any info!
would like to know this as well.

I hadn't used this yet, but resco explorer has an option (you have to edit the regsitry for it) that let's you load folders according to command line arguments (then you can use UL to load the folder in resco straight using a command line).
you should check it out.
Hi,
I'm looking for the exe file that launches the Wi-Fi settings (start/settings/connections/Wi-fi). I would like to make a shortcut to it...
I had no success looking for it in the windows folder.

OK. I try to explain you, but I have the Shell in czech language...I try it. On main screen SPB press right button (next to contacts). Press green plus (add widget), then press first icon (on the left -Shortcut), then Settings-Connections-Wirelless manager and...???? Is it there??? Next step is move button wifi to the right...Wifi is ON and you can search wifi LAN...
This suggestion here may help

Now the only thing is to see how to Unlock ROM and put another one on my phone
Orig WiFi program as supplied with windows can be found using file explorer- Windows folder then scroll down till you see a file"WLanSettings" with a small picture of a PDA next to it.Highlight this file then select copy. Navigate to where you want to install, click in the window. Choose paste shortcut. Next, if you want, rename shortcut. Copy result, navigate to the folder you wish to place the shortcut in (ie settings?), paste. Close explorer, go to start menue, navigate to shortcut just created, should work

Thanks for the suggestion. I already found these WLanSettings, but it still isn't exactly what I'm after. When I launch WLanSetting, next I have to turn on Wireless LAN, wait...because my access point takes a while to appear in the list, because of the waiting period it doesn't "auto connect" anymore, so I have to press "change network" and select it manually from the list with detected access point...Hold it...
Thanks again !! because when trying this (at this very moment), "Settings" appeared in my task manager (after pressing "change network"; this opened Configure Wireless Networks). Through task manager I was able to see what exe-file was behind "Settings". It's "ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,17,2". Thanks to Google I just found out that putting 33# before ctlpnl.exe (without a space!) and saving this as .lnk works perfectly!!!
