Has anyone found a way to make Excel always open with a default zoom setting of 75%?
I found this hack but I think it’s for an older version of PocketPC
go to HKCU\software\microsoft\excel\pocket x.x\Main and then make the DWORD entry named "ZoomSetting" and then set the value to 2.
With WM5 the \Main section does not exist. I tried creating one but it did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SeanH

That would work great for creating new Excel files. I am looking for something that always makes Excel go to a 75% zoom level when you open old or new documents.

Sorry dont think that is possible - searched high and low for a fix - so did my own. Works well for new documents.
I get alot of excel files in email attachments and they always open up with a huge font. I have to change the zoom level to 75 to make the normal. Thats why your fix would not work for me.
There has to be some way to do it.

Here's a link to a method of getting 75% zoom, scroll down page a bit to see it. Not perhaps the quickest way as it involves creating the template on PC and transferring to device, but still if it works!! Also includes downloadable help files for pocket excel and basic guide to using it.

Don't you hate it when you let someone play with your shiny new WM phone
they usually go right to your SMS inbox?
jonesj8 had the same irritation, so inspired by him I threw something together
Original thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375057
I created a new thread to have a bit more overview, and also to get it under the attention of other users who might be interested
@mods
I can understand if you close this thread...
How does it work.
this version requires you to change all the .lnk files pointing to tmail.exe, or to the dll...maybe even other ones...
I say all lnk's but the most important are the ones the "friend" is going see/use.
I've included a shortcut creator in the attachment.
In FileList.ini specify the application to block,
in the included file it's \WIndows\tmail.exe
and i've used msg as argument.
so in the .lnk would point to lockdown.exe with the argument msg
if the passcode is correct the file will be opened.
it's not very quick (since it needs to be opened) but this should change in the next version.
the passcode can be changed in the settings.ini, default is 12345
Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas
Update Version 0.4
Well I finally got around to an update, which is attached below
The application has been rebuild from the ground up, I've used a Lock and Key method, e.g. the lnk uses key.exe which communicates with the server (the lock) this way the server only needs to read the filelist once which should save time.
<note>
because of this you will need to enter the items in the FileList.ini prior to starting the server, when the server is running it will create the used shortcuts for you
which you can then place.
if you add stuff while it is running the shortcuts wont be created...
pointers on making the FileList.ini is in the readme below.
New in this version
- installer (cab)
- app to date support
- redesigned layout
- support for arguments, opening the sms should work now, it does for me
- locking of other files should work now too (thesed with a html file)
- automatically create the proper lnk files in sub folder
To do
- include support for different screen sizes
- way to customize the colors
- mask input with *
- skinning...?
In case someone is bored and wants to create the graphics, be my guest,
My creativity in that department is next to null
Sounds great. Any chance of a screenshot of the lock screen?

Thanks, trying it now
works good, cant seem to get arguments passed to tmail.exe in settings.ini
ie.
msg=\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS"
just opens account picker, is on todo list? not bugging you, good app,
thx!
great will it run on VGA? make it as simple as you can so when we are in hurry the soft won't load so long
This looks nice and configurable.
Are we able to make it request the pin for any application listed in FileList? First try didn't work, I want to restrict more than just the inbox
sorry, double post

Correct that isn't working... also i'm not sure if it will be in there,
the reason is I wanted to change the app so it looks at the window name,
this would close all message related windows, and there is no need to change the .lnk files

Not yet, but is planned for future versions, I'll add it to the todo list.

Currently any application can be restricted by providing a ID + location, e.g
xyz=\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe
changing the link to tcpmp would have lockdown popup first
What application would you like to restrict?

hmmm, not sure i know what you mean. But basically, as it is now, I can't go direct to the inbox of sms using your lockdown? \o?

Basically, no
but as a workaround you could try making an lnk to tmail.exe with the -service etc. in there, next change the FileList.ini pointing to that new lnk...
not sure if it will work though

bLEhg! lol, ok, will look into that (scratches head )
some novelty things to add: skins, mask input with '*', maybe use symbols instead of numbers, 'jumble' keypad/symbols random for added security (if using symbols )
thanks for infos and keep up the good work

Any chance you can re-scale the images to fit a 240x240 screen res?
Can test it you want.

is this possible on htm files?
Hi Mr_Gee, thanks for sharing
I have an couple of offline files I would also like to lockdown. Is it possible to lockdown those htm files as well? tia.

now, that you mention it yes, i have tried it and it does not work, if it is the specific html file. the lockdown screen would still appear but nothing happens after entering the code. maybe it will work, if the iexplore.exe itself is lockdown but this will lock down every/all html files. would it be a big change to code it, just for specific html files? i'm also thinking on specific text files just like the said html files. i keep notes on pure text files like tax account number, passwords, pincodes, etc in a text or word file. maybe this is pushing too far. maybe in the next version/release? hehehe thank you for sharing and more power...
Sorry I was on holidays
I've tested with PIE.exe and i plan this for the next version.
Please note though that this tool is only for making sure "friends" don't read your personal stuff very easy, but passwords/pin codes might be a bit too high risk..
I think this should be further developed! It really should come standard on winmob... hey Gee, if you need a cab builder or photoshop, I'd be happy to help! Let's make this idea the next ROM must-have!
I wanna use this program because every time someone wants to see my phone, they get to snooping into my personal info. However, I'm afriad if I start changing things manually, I'll screw my phone up.
I saw a cab somewhere in the Diamond thread which stopped the keyboard popping up whenever one opens an email , a text message, or something that might remotely require text input. I have spent the last couple of hours searching for it but to no avail. anybody know how to turn this facility off please?

nullkb is the program you are looking for
Here is a link: http://personales.ya.com/beemer/nullkeyboard.htm
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:00000001
This is the regkey you've probably been looking for. Use it myself on my Diamond and works like a charm.
Excellent find - after a soft reset this works on the Kaiser too, much better than faffing around with nullkb and PQz et al.
I didn't manage to make it work on my Kaiser. Could you please explain me how to?
Thank you.

Yes! That works perfectly! Thanks a bunch.
For all you guys who can't find it (it didn't exist on my Tilt):
In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip, you need to to create a new Value. Name it, "TurnOffAutoDeploy" (without the quotes), make it a DWord, and set the value to 00000001, like MRE-net said. Save it, soft reset, and it works like a charm.
Great find mate. Thanks again.
Ok guys; I must be stupid!
I've just tried it (again) and it still doesn't work!!!
When I create the new DWORD value, Task Manager asks me if I want it Hexadecimal or Decimal... I tried both but no one fits.
So, please, could you explain it again )
Thanks a lot!
Abundance of options
Gentlemen
many thanks, problem solved.

Make sure it is Decimal and just fill in 1 and not 0000001. 1 = on 0=off
Also make sure the new key you've created is a DWord and not a StingValue.
Alternatively you can copy the attached DisableKeyboardPopUp.txt file to your device import it into your registry. Make sure you rename the file to DisableKeyboardPopUp.reg
Thanks MRE-net! I have been looking for this as well.
I'm working witht he Diamond 2 Gsensor sdk on my Diamond and I have been able to successfully add string values to the whitlist section in the gsensors registry. (HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Whitelist)
The whitelist values enable rotation. My question is how can I create a "Blacklist" so to speak that would contain values for apps I dont want rotated? Is it possible? If so is it as easy as crating the said paths?
Anybody?...

I have not tried this yet myself but i would guess, and tell me if im wrong, that the only time it will rotate is if the app is in the white list if its not in the white list then it will not rotate.

Well this is true, however, the whitelist uses class names to determine what apps to rotate. The class name "dialog" refers to multiple apps like the phone dialer, call status, sms composer, and more. So when I add "dialog" in the whitelist it rotates all of these. I would like to try and make an exception list that uses the process name or window name as the identifyer. That way I could have dialog in the whitelist and cprog.exe in the exceptions or blacklist key. It may not be possible but thats what I'm asking I guess.

Did you try:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\M oduleName]
"Album"="\\Windows\\HTCAlbum.exe"
"Calculator"="\\Windows\\htcCalculator.exe"
"SMS"="\\Windows\\tmail.exe"

"TestHTCSensorDemoAP"="TESTHTCSENSORDEMOAP"
"Album"="HTCAlbumClass"
"Calculator"="CalculatorMain"
"Opera"="Opera_MainWndClass"
"SMS"="Dialog"
Seems logical to me. But as always the logical thing isn't the right choice by definition.
One tip though, if you want to know something, just try! That's the way other people get their knowledge about these things....
And afterwards, please share your results with the rest of the world ofcourse!

Anyone know what program to be used in X1 to open file with CSV format?
Depends on what you want to use it for. If you just want to read it, use MADE. Possibly some other text editor, but I found that MADE does a good job where others couldn't.
try MS Excel mobile
