Anyone knows how to remove the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen? Find them a waist of space.
I dont mean a program which has this function (wisbar advanced desktop does it) but i am looking for just a cab or reg hack to remove them without having to install unneeded software.

dvl, i don't think this can be done by a reg hack.
When i get around to updating my toggletoday program I'll provide this as an option. But you know this is a per app setting, so I could remove it in the Today screen (I think, not tried!) but not in every app (well I could, but how would you access the menu?)

ohhh
it is only for the today screen..
i need the keyboard thingy in apps of course..
sorry i was unclear.. and yeah i know about your app but then i have to install more then needed..
But if you know a way how to remove it from the today screen i would be very pleased!!

Toggle today is not memory resident, it loads, fixes and quits. Hopefully the WM5 version will be the same if I can help it. But I don't think this can be done in registry (unless there's a key we don't know about).

You can of course edit the registry and delete the keys that contain the paths to the programs, or leave the programs there and use blanks to show up on the screen. The letters will then disappear, but you cannot hide the whole tray and use it as Today space.
I installed the app to remap the softkey buttons and I would like to delete it.
The delete is done but now after each Off/On, a message like : "Unable to find [...]softkey app[...]" appears. I searched everywhere in the phone & in the registry base but I can't delete this message from every power on, & I don't want to make a hard reset. Has someone the same problem ?
Thanks 4 help...
it's in the "notifications queue" - have a try of the program at the URL below - it allows you to see what's in the queue and delete the notification if necessary.

I have this bar right above my soft keys (calendar and contacts) which is displaying battery status. How can I get rid of it. It is occupying my precious today screen space.
Remove init_tray from windows\startup
see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276300&highlight=init_tray
That works for the battery status. I have another program which is still showing up there. Is there another place I need to look at?
Try a soft reset. When the device starts up the comm manager bar should have gone.
i think that one appears when u do a bluetooth activesync connection...try disconnecting activesync...if this is the case there must be some reg key to solve it...
Whats the program, then it'll be easier to help you. Its probably in the registry.
Anyway the device lock be mapped to a soft key instead of a hard key? I have it mapped to the messaging button, but would rather have it at the calendar or contacts button.

A little program called WM5NewMenu should do it. It's free, just put it into a google search.

Thx, but all this did was to let me rename the word "calendar" to "device lock", with the actual calendar program still assigned to the left softkey.

I'm trying to get some directions for the program, from doing a little research on google it looks like you can reassign the button with that program, just have to figure out how. I'll look for some direction on the program.
Ok, I figured it out.
Goto WM5newmenu, under "launch by:" select "Left Softkey" Then under "Soft Key Label:" enter your label (ie. "Lock")
Then goto the "items" tab. select "new" then select the little box next to "parameters:" select "windows" then ""go into" at the bottom.
Scroll over to "BSDeviceLock.exe" then hit "select"
Then enter "lock" or whatever you want under "item label:"
You will see the new entry on the left side of the screen, you may have to scroll down a little. You can uncheck all of the other items and just leave the new "Lock" item you created. After that select ok and do a soft reset.
After it resets, hit your left sofkey, you will see your newly created lock pop up. Then just hit the center button on the pad! It locks!! I just did this and it works!!
Hope this helps,
Just found this, it's even better then WM5newmenu:
Reassign left softkey on Today screen to open Notes application
Use Total Command to navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
Change the “Default” key to the name that you want to appear on the button (in my case Notes)
Change the “Open” value to the location of the program you want to open (in my case “Windows/Notes.exe” ( you would enter “Windows/BSdevicelock.exe”)
Perform a soft reset
Look in your windows folder to see if you have BSdevicelock.exe if you don't let me know and i'll get it to you.

I did the registry edit, and when I tap the left soft key, I get "the file device lock cannot be opened due to an untrusted certificate, or one of its components is missing." I could NOT find BSdevicelock.exe in the Windows folder. Where in windows should this file be located?
I would like that BSdevicelock as well, if I could.
Its in the root windows folder, you probably don't have it.
I'll attach it as soon as I get home from work tonight!
Just copy it into your windows directory.
BSDevicelock
Just unzip this and place it in your windows folder with the registry change.
Hope this helps!

Got it good buddy! I kept the other items in WM5NewMenu and labeled the softkey "Menu", and changed BSdevicelock in the label box to Device Lock. Now all I do is hit the new softkey "Menu", scroll to device lock, hit the center button on the D pad. Device locks like you said it would! I was able to do this after extracting the BSdevicelock.zip to my Windows folder. Excellent instructions! Thx a MILL! If you discover anything else that's appealing, let me in on it..o.k.? Just found out I could move Device Lock to the top. Now I don't have to scroll down.

I use MortSaver (Phone Edition) which locks and blanks screen and relocks/blanks screen after calls/reminders etc..
guys you seem to me to be making this quite hard for yourselves
use this softkey app to change the softkeys (3rd post)
use this device lock app.
go to start/settings/system/softkey and select the device lock app
and soft reset, softkey changes generally don't occur until after

None of your "this" links worked for me. Besides, I'm content now.
My old simple Nokia 6200 had a feature whereby the keypad was locked automatically without need for a PIN three minutes (selectable) after a call when there was no activity.
Is there any easy way to implement this ? I can map H/W keys (thanks to Molski) but this isn't quite the same.

Is BSdevicelock better than the lock app already on the device in the Windows folder??
The app im talking about is called devicelock.exe on my device. I have an HTC Wizard
I did not have devicelock.exe in my windows folder originally. BSdevicelock is just a little program that simply locks the device. I don't have devicelock.exe, but I imagine they probably do the same thing. I think BSdevicelock is actually installed by the BatteryStatus program. If you have a later version of Battery Status, you should have BSdevicelock.
Hello,
I'm trying to remove the Nokia Intellisync icon in the systray on my Touch.
Tried to find a registry key, but when rebooting, it comes back.
No soft which is supposing to remove this tray has succeeded to remove this f**** icon...
Does anybody know how I could get rid of it?
Thx!!!!

What's the Registry key? Write a quick script to get rid of it, and place it in your startup directory. I can do that for you if you'd like...

I'm not sure it would solve the problem, because if I change the state of the registry key, I have to soft reset the Touch to apply changes and during the boot process maybe the regsitry is changed.
For example, I installed PMC Today Shrink which is supposed to get rid of this tray and as you can see on the screenshot, I have both tray (with intellisync icon) and today tray (with Action and Contact).
Have tried an application called "startup manager" I've seen it here, but I can't seem to find it.
You should give it a go.
