How can i use a hardware key for Task Manager

I really would like to assign my "comm manager" button to the task manager for closing programs. How can i do this?
Thanks for any help you can give me

Start -> Settings -> Buttons ?

I tried that. unfortunately neither memory nor task manager is an option for buttons. its too bad because i really dont need a button for the comm manager

Go here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/ppc_tcuts2.asp?frame=true
read about making a shortcut to Memory/Running programs.
Make a .lnk file as directed, place in your start menu, and then you will have that option available in Start -> Settings -> Buttons
V

Using that information you can make a shortcut with this;
28#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2&ltCR>
Copy the above text into notepad and "save as", Running Progs.lnk
Copy the file to the PPC into the Windows\Start Menu folder and then link it to a hard key.
I used AE Button Plus to map task manager to the windows key which also works well.

thanks alot. I'm glad there was a solution that didn't include more software. I really loaded my 8125 up with tweaks and it made it really slow and unstable. I'm really happy wiht the 8525 as it seems to have native support for alot of the tweaks people have been doing on the 8525 and i would hate to slow it down with lots of programs.

I'm not completely sure if this will work with WM5 but if you go into your file explorer with your PDA and then navigate to Windows\StartMenu , you'll find each of the shortcuts displayed in the start menu.

Have you tried going into Settings>Remove Programs(or whatever its called for WM5) and removing anything you've installed associated with the dialer and then trying again?

2. I suggest if nothing works for you then try install Schapps Advance Configuration and enable phone skin. Remove all custom dialers before trying this tweak.
1. Go to Settings>Personal>Menus. Check where the those items are unticked. (This is as per as WM6.)

thanks for your effort guys but these items do not exist any more in SETTINGS--PERSONAL--MENUS
I have picked up a bookmark from the favourites menu and pasted it in the start menu with this i am now able to open internet explorer.
for messaging i have enabled it on the today screen with SETTINGS--PERSONAL--TODAY--ITEMS AND CHECKED MESSAGING
but there are no icons for calculator and notes

Ok..normally Menus is a Windows inbuilt program.
Anyways use a file manager like Total Commander and go to /Windows.
There you would find calculator.exe and notes.exe. Create shortcuts and post it wherever u want.

[ROM 1.48] Button assginment?!

Hi people,
I'm using the 1.48 ROM and was trying to assign the handsets buttons to
applications via the windows native settings application (i.e. Start -> Settings
-> Personal -> Buttons).
Unfortuanely, the list with buttons is empty, so I cannot assign any application
(would want to use the voicecmd app). Is there a workaround to make the
volume control buttons appear in the list or assign the volume down button to
any desired .exe on the device?
Thanks. mc7

You can try to use AEButtons or SPB Pocket Plus..... but I think that in 1.48 ROMs voicecmd isn't included.
OR if you update to 1.61 voicecmd is already assigned to SEND button!

[REQ] Can no longer program Hard Buttons

Hi,
I've checked these forums but can't find any obvious answer.
I previously had ROM version 1.48 where I was able to program a hard button long press of the answer call key.... SO I used a long press to bring up the task manager.
But with ROM 1.61 this seems to have disappeared.
i.e. If I go into Start -> Settings -> Menu -> All Settings -> Personal -> Buttons
A button was there for me to assign a task. But this seems to have disappeared.
Without having to install any other application (such as AE Buttons) is there any known way of creating a shortcut to a hard button ?
Perhaps a registry hack ?
Any advice would be much appreciated

Same problem here but i have Rom 1.44 Dutch Vodafone

I have same problem. I want to assign task manager to back hardkey with no third party application, but I could not find any solution
