Anyone know what this registry entry does?...Was actually looking for a similar today screen lock as on the HTC Wizard and a few other devices.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Device Lock"
That's what controls the HTC Wizard one - it's in my reg as well (HTC Wizard::Qtek 9100). It looks for "shutil.dll" on here.. does your reg key have any such/further data?
Found the shutil.dll in the windows directory of my Exec and theres only a DWORD data value of 1 named Enabled...no other reference to the .dll file...I quite liked the device lock on the wizard that I had before getting the Exec...wonder if this regitry entry can be changed to get the similar effect on the universals.
One way to find out....
DLL = shutil.dll
Enabled = 1
Flags = 0
Options = 0
Order = 38
Selectability = 1
Type = 4
All the numerics are DWORD decimals
Tried it but nothing appears on the today screen...although after adding the registry entries it does show up in the today settings...once enabled it actually pushes my today screen down a little by a couple of millimeters as if its trying to display something...but nothing actually visible.

what's the size of your shutil.dll looking like? it's 29k here (29,696 bytes)
mine is 5.96kb (6014 bytes) here,
poss down to rom builds.
me missus has a wizard and i want the device lock today aswell, now ive seen it.
In theory you could place the Wizard file in your windows dir, thereby 'overriding' the Universal's ROM one, no?
Also, it's not really all that, imho... it doesn't work happily with the device password function (auto-unlocks if the (accidental) buttonpress is the on/standby button) for example.
DLL = shutil.dll
and
DLL-Name = shutil.dll
it works for me
hey guys, i used this:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Change the display of the clock in the taskbar
The clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.
To show nothing:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)
Note 1: If you switch to the Analog clock display, the date will remain visible -through- the Analog clock
Note 2: Setting the clock to show 'nothing' will still keep the reserved space, showing the taskbar background, and obscure any icons that will shift to the right.
Note 3: Your date may get obscured by the space reserved for the OK/Close button in the top-right. You can fix this my adding spaces at the end of your 'Short Date Format'. See also the tweak on 'Change the Short Date Format'
---------------------------------------------------------
BUT it doesn't work. I have the new 2.23 aku rom. Can anyone help?
After you change your registry.
Switch your unit off/on (preferably let it be still for 2-3 minutes)
And perform a soft reset. It should work.
If it doesn't, go back into your registry and check if the values are still there (e.g. if the values have been changed back to the original state). If that's the case, you ought to wait a bit longer. WM5 tend to delay the write into the registry.

In S100 I had that icon in the tray but in TyTN it's gone.
TyTN automatically changes to portrait when the keyboard is open but I'd like to do it via tray-icon as I was used to.
Is there a way/reg change to show it again?

Hide/Show Screen orientation icon
If you wish to hide the Screen orientation icon, shown in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to show it again:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 0 (DWORD decimal)
If this doesn't work, you can try:
HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show it again:
HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all.

As it says I've no idea if it works. If it does please add it to the wiki
Thanks, I already tried it but it doesn't work..
Moreover.. the "Services" key makes me undertand that the icon is placed there by a "service" that in my tytn seems not to exist (I don't have the "ScreenRotate" service among other keys).
Rotation:
Right-handed:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMode = 1 (DWORD decimal) (already like that)
Left-handed:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMode = 4 (DWORD decimal)
i want that as i guess it spins the display so the start is near the green botton?
i have tried to no avail
ne sugestions?
anyone????
Well I find if I go into
start - settings - system - screen
and select Landscape there, the display switches the way you want, all other applications seem to make it switch the other way.
However I appreciate that's a bit of a long method to achieve the result you want.
how i want it is button side in my left hand screen used by my right
how you say to go is right hand holding left using the stick
dont want that
Hi all, on my M3100 there was a program called pimp my black which allowed you to not only get rid of the annoying battery icon and replace it with the time but also the date in the top right of the screen. Does anyone know how of if this is possible on the Touch Dual yet?
thanks
I would like this as well.
To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)
JIC you might need more.
To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)

Ok, I need some help please, I get as far as HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell then the TBOpt is not there, Taskbar is there so I changed that to 3 and then reset and I have no clock at all when in screens other than home screen. Any advise.

Change taskbar back.
If TBOpt is not there, create a key by the same name.
then add the dword (decimal) 3
ok that works! for others you will need to set "ShowTitleBarClock"=1 otherwise it gets a little congessted in that area!

OK I created a New Key under Shell and then while it was highlighted I pressed edit at bottom of screen and pressed "New DWORD Value" and under "Value Name" I entered TBOpt and in "Value data:" I entered 3 and the "Base" was Decimal. IS THIS CORRECT???

Sorry not the fastest with this stuff, where do I find "ShowTitleBarClock" so I can change the setting?
What you need to do is create a new DWORD value (TBOpt) under the Shell key, do not create a new key. Under the current Shell key you should only have the value ShowTitleBarClock which is what you need to change and the TBOpt value you created.
Thanks heaps, all is working now.
One last question, I have the date above the time which is fine but the date is 6/01/0 the last digit is missing, is there a way to edit this to fix the problem or even get rid of the year as I can usually remember what year it is but month and date I need very bad.......
Hmm mine is using UK time so the format only cuts of the last digit of the year for me. It uses the Short date format from within the Date tab within regional settings so maybe you can alter that to appear like mine? the weird thing is on my M3100 it is set exactly the same but instead of showing 05/01/08 it only shows 05 Jan, weird. Maybe someone else knows
That would be perfect, that format "5 Jan" ..... Does anyone know how to get this format for the date?

Goto settings\regional settings and under the "Date" Tab:
For short Date choose one of the presets: dd-MMM-yy
for "Date Seperator", choose space instead of the default "-" (dash).
Unfortunately you can't change the presets, so the option suggested above is the closest you can get.

So far I've managed to get no less than two battery indicators when I'm on the home screen, and one when in a program.
What I want is neither clock or battery indicator on the title bare.
I'm running mobile 6, and have tried to set the TbOption in HKLM\software\ms\shell to 0, and the ShowTitleBarClockthingy to 0. This results in a empty space where the clock used to be, and a somewhat sluggish performance, as well as the icon next to (signal strength) to be cut in half, so not a good solution at all.
So I tried to remove the new key, and use KaizerTweak, which resulted in good performance, but two indicators... me confused be
All I wanted was nothing!
Sort of new to WinMobile 6, so It's probably some noobism in me as well.
