yanivbe: examine the icon.lnk in the games folder and then use the same technique as required.
FYI:
make a shortcut or document, eg:
1#shellres.dll,-8229

Click to collapse
Save as icon.lnk and place in each folder as required.
For more details on the .lnk syntax, search against my username for the word "completeness".

Nope u can create shortcuts for other icons in the Other tab...yet there is one way...search the DEV/HACK area for a thread .INK Shortcuts or some thing like that.
btw which shortcut do u want
Searching for the Wifi network discovery, looked in the windows folder does not give the right links.
I'll put out a search for .ink.
Tnx
here u go....its complicated alittle..but if u want to make a shortcut of any file (those that are in that thread)..just copy the location from the post and paste it on ur pc(in a new text file)...and save them as .lnk..now copy them to ur pc and check them out

You need to paste the shortcuts in windows/Start Menu/Prorgrams and whichever folder you want to drop it in or just drop it in that folder and it will work ^_^.
It worked !

how can I move it to the Game folder?? or in any other folder??
anyone help please.. thx..
open file explorer, go to windows folder<start menu<programs<games u'll find the icon of your game there, cut and paste it in any other place but under the programs folder. u can also create a new folder and put it there.

How can I unhide system files in HD2?

In File Explorer, click "Menu" and then "Show all files".
That should do the trick

It does'nt work.
I tried to do what in "Leo Hints & Tips" for exp:
"1. Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files to see the games listed."
I can't copy files as instructed (working with total commander) and if the files were copied I can't reach/see them.
I think you may have misunderstood the original instructions.
Open file manager (not total commander) and navigate to Windows folder.
Locate the file BubbleBreaker (it's 46K, not one of the others)
Highlight it and keep it pressed till you get the menu with "Copy" in it. Do Copy.
Scroll back to the top and go into "Start Menu\Programs\Games".
Do "Menu, Edit, Paste Shortcut".
As I'm a pedant, I renamed the shortcut, removing the "Shortcut to" prefix.
Then, when you go Start Menu & then Games, BubbleBreaker is in there.
Now I've just done that exactly as typed above, whilst describing it for you, so it should work for you.
Let us know if you still have a problem.
Hi,
It works!
Now I got the idea.
Thanks.

Don't know what to say mate - it's in my Windows folder. There's a bunch of files called eT9.Rhodium.xxxx and then eT9MyWords is after them (directly after eT9DeadKeys).
I take it you did unhide system files as previously suggested? (I'm not sure if you need to do that for the games suggestion).
I have a slide deferent question. I would like to delet exe file from thew windows folder but I can't because I can't select Delete, have anyone some advice?
delete exe file
it has been awhile since i have done this, also some files are impossible or almost impossible to delete.
if you have been trying to do it from ur phone, go instead, to your active sync/windows mobility center. click file mgt and browse contents of device, navigate to the exe u want to delete. i have done it before and it has worked on several ocassions. be careful on what u r deleting, you may want to do a google on it b/f u do it
if this does not do it, i got no clue hope this helps someone
johncmolyneux - special thanks to u for the hidden games trick, ? are there any other hidden games in the hd2 winmo 6.5 professional, or where i may find out?

Thanks johncmolyneux,
Got there in the end - I had shown system files, but seems like it somehow "reverted".
Cheers!

Quick link folders?

Is it possible to add folders to the quick links . I would like to set up some groups of related apps.
thanks for any advice
bump. I want this too.
maybe u can try go to
/window/star menu/Program (*Copy the 'Program' , then go back to /stroage card, paste the shortcard)
then inside 'Program' u can create a folder and then put the file u wan together. u also can copy ur app on ur stroage card to this folder. (if copy files or app then paste inside 'Program' MUST BE 'PASTE SHORT CUT'
I do this for my office file, cos i have a lot of price list and item need using exel and word, so i can create quick link on my home tap ^^
hope this will help u.

Erm not 100% sure what you are suggesting?
I tried making a shortcut to the games folder in the program folder. I could then add this onto the quick links but sadly when I click on that it just gives an error. I guess its trying to execute a program as opposed to just firing up the shotcut.
This would be handy as I want nice and quick access to games but can't really have them all linked on the quick links lol.
I did read how to exactly do this in the blackstone forum but cant for the life of me rememember how to do it.
I have done some searching around the forum and can't seem to find anything helpful. This should surely be fairly easy. Quick links to folders would be very handy.
