On my today screen on my 8125, the hard button under the calender will not open the calender. The contacts button works but when I push the calender button I get "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename." I really don't know where to begin. The calender works when I open it from a menu or the program page. Thanks if anyone can help me out.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) Go into the /Windows/AppButtons directory and check if the calendar.lnk file is there and if its contents are correct
2) I file is there and correct go into registry HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys and look under the subkeys 40C... to determine which one is related to the calendar and if it points to the right file or shortcut.
Cheers,

None of the C... point to the calender. There is a button for just about everything else on the phone but the calender one is not there in the registry. the calender.ink in the windows folder works and will open the calender. Anywhere else I can go? I think this happened after I removed agenda fusion. Thanks

I just switched from GoodLink to ActiveSync for email, contacts, etc., but the left and right softkeys on the today screen still try to launch the Good calendar and Good contacts. I removed these files so I just get an error message. Any ideas how to remap these keys to Outlook Contacts and Outlook Email without reinstalling the rom?

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 and HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
Default value = the caption you wish
Open value = shortcut to calendar.exe
Thanks for the tip, but I can't seem to get it to work. I used vidya to edit the registry--it only showed 112, not 113. 112 was set to launch the goodlink calendar. I changed it launch the outlook calendar, but it didn't work. Then, when I soft reset, the registry reverts to launching goodlink again. Any ideas? Thanks again for the help.
Can you check your \windows\startup folder, unless you softreset before the changes you made were applied there is no reason to lose them. Unless a startup process reinitializes them. As for the 113 it's not there by default because it's already assigned to the contacts. Thats's why I thought that in your case it will be there (created by goodlink) and assigned to uninstalled programs. Another possibility is a running process that would hook the key events and transfer them to programs that no longer exist. But I don't even know if this possible under WM5 (it's very easy under Windows)
Here are the programs in my startup folder:
CapNotify
poutlook
sddaemon
Services
smartskey
WiFiInit
I added 113 to the registry and set the left softkey to open the Calendar, and that worked for a bit, but then I changed it to open contacts and it started looking for Good Contacts again. I can't get any control of the right softkey.
It doesn't seem like any of the startup programs would remap the key, but my understanding of this OS is pretty minimal.
Any more ideas?
Update: It seems that if I set the right softkey to anything but Contacts it will work. If I set it to contacts it looks for GoodContacts, no matter what path I enter. As far as the left softkey goes, I can't get it to do anything but look for GoodCalendar.exe.
I'm 99,99 % sure that the culprit is smartskey...
I just hope that it's a shortcut you have and not the exe file, otherwise you won't be able to delete it. If it's the case kill the task with a task manager and then delete it from the startup folder. Let us know how it goes, but I'm pretty sure that you are almost there
I gave up and upgraded the ROM. Thanks for the help in any case.
Im trying to set a softkey to point to my Pocket Outlook Contacts.
Anybody know the location??
can't quite remember the format and not 100% sure this will do the trick...
try either windows\poutlook.exe -contacts or Windows\poutlook.exe contacts (without the dash)
Hope this helps.
nope didnt work.
The properties in the link should be
''poutlook.exe'' contacts
Works on my device - will post the link if you still have problems
am i missing something here? (yes this is my first PPC device) i have the cingular branded 8125 with 2.25.. and when i click on poutlook.exe i get nothing that comes up? is there a pocket version like pocket excel/powerpoint, etc?
PocketOutook Contacts Recovery and Keymap after Goodlink!!!!
NOTE: I have included a reg file that can be imported via your favorite pocket registry editor that will assign your voice command key to pocket outlook contacts!
If you navigate in the registry to
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\
you can modify the string of one of the hardware keys to
"\Windows\poutlook.exe" contacts
That will launch Pocket Outlook Contacts. I have used my voice command key because i never use voice command.
Alternatively, you could create a shortcut that passes the argument -contacts when it executes poutlook.exe.
I hope that helps!

Hello,
I use Goosync to sync my Touch Calendar with Google Calendar. I have a "generic" icon for Goosync in my cube but it only takes me to the Goosync program, and then i have to press another button to start the sync. Is there a registry file or Parameter that I can select which will actually run the sync from the cube? I currently used cubeconfig tool to map to:
\Program Files\Goosync\PocketPCClient.exe
Also, I am trying to use the bmptobrn or brnconvert programs in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351551
however, when i try and run these programs on my PC my screen just flashes and nothing happens.
Thanks!
Is it possible to search for calendar entries on the X1? I've checked the menu at the bottom and tried pressing and holding to get a menu in the middle of the screen, but I just can't see a search option in the calendar. Surely something like this exists.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Yeah, just use the global windows mobile search. It also searches for calendar entries, not only files.
Thanks very much for the tip. It works, but it's not what I'd call ideal. I'm sure they could have implemented search within the calendar program
Oh well, this'll do for now.
I found something interesting while fiddling with my TP2. I've been trying to change the Home page: Calender (appointments) to point to PI with no avail. PI is the default PIM for my phone and the right soft key was changed to point to it.
Here's the catch: When TF3D (Manila) shows an appointment, it will open to MS poutlook calender. It so happened that I have no recorded appointment showing today and it merely showed "Calender." I pressed on it and it went on to fire up PI, much ot my surprise. I added an appointment and tested but it went to MS poutlook. I deleted the appointment and the "Calender" again opens up PI.
Now if someone can help to point me to the registry on the calling up of appointments by TF3D from MS poutlook, it may just be possible to change the default calender to whatever we choose (PI and what have you).
Thanks in advance.
This is something I am having trouble with too!
I have used SSMaHo and when click on "calendar" in the programs screen it works fine....just not for the appointment links on the today screen.
Thanks in advance!
Would be great. I have been searching and found nothing so far....
FT3D and PI
