it goes where you want, TC asks for it...path is chosen by tree window...
is this tricky question?
Thanks
Managed to direct it to the start menu folder, as i want it within the fixed (not recently viewed list), but it only shows in the recent folder, any ideas ?

hi. somewhere here i read about an autolaunch app. do you know any? thanks,
If you make a shortcut to any application on your device, and put the shortcut in the \Windows\StartUp folder, it will load whenever your device boots up - don't know if that's what you were after, but I've not heard about an autolauncher app recently (or if I have, I've forgotten )
thanks! but.. how to shortcut? with total commmander or file explorer i can't do it.
The quickest way I've found is via ActiveSync (you put your files onto the device via ActiveSync, which is the quickest way, and then go onto your device, click Copy, and then go to where you want to put the shortcut and choose "Paste Shortcut")... See this page for full instructions (with screenshots): http://www.pocketpclouisville.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6
I copied the layout of some existing shortcuts on my Alpine when I was playing about making new shortcuts... They have a particular (simple) format. I made a new blank text file on my PC, and put in it,
20#"\Program Files\Folder\ProgramName.exe"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(where Folder and ProgramName refer to the actual app I was linking to).
I saved the file as
ProgramName
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(with no file extension) and put that on my PPC, and it worked.
Interestingly though, all the shortcuts I looked at in Notepad had different numbers before the #\ section - I don't know whether this is to indicate CPU priority when the device is starting up, or if that's the entry number of the shortcut on the device's registry, but the shortcuts seemed to work.
ActiveSync creation is certainly the easiest way, though.
in my
I've downloaded and installed WM5 NewMenu (http://ukaywares.blogspot.com/2006/03/wm5-newmenu.html) on my device, and once I've figured out how to add a new option which allows me to directly create a new shortcut (there must be the right command switches listed somewhere!) I'll post the info up. Don't hold your breath for that though, the above method works great on both WM2003SE and WM5.
thanks done! i'll see if it works

cheers for the assistance I tried that one, the link comes up as intrusted / unsigned
works fine as a direct link through programs , just not through the cube
any ideas?
First Go here then try here
no joy so far
tries shortcut creator, been through the lnk thread... again....
tried google...
there must be a way to shortcut to a specific folder???
if you read the actual 051 thread, slither discusses this many times and says it won't be available until 052
I think it involves passing a parameter to fileexplorer...
Look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2120755&postcount=140

create a link to your file explorer
tap and hold
select properties
add '-windows\start menu\games' to the end of the link so you should end up with something like
program files\file explorer.exe -windows\start menu\games
cheers for the help folks, still no go.
will have to see if slither can resolve in the next release

I got it wrong, no '-' before the address
"fexplore.exe" windows\start menu\programs\Games
exactly as above in the properties of any .LNK will do it

cheers mate but vust links to the 'my device' page on file explorer no matter what i do.
have looked into and edited folderview.exe so it should route to an alternative folder but the signature is not taking via msigner.
was thinking that this might be the 'simple' way but must be doing something wrong, was thinking set the shortcut to a generic option (ie Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Test) would give some flexibility (we could just add/rename folders in the program list
any idea what i am doing wrong on the resign?
edit: unsign/resign done will work on the edit to see if i can get this to work

Please try this It's part of Wisbar Advance 3, Start Panel. Files in folder my documents > my documents and exe put somewhere.

If you have problems with startup (blank white page) and using wktask or programs like this, make exception to run always in background. Then to refresh list you must restart it.

Hi IkE Blaster, Spot on, works perfectly!!!! is it possible to edit the config to allow folks to choose the folder?
if this works, it is a configarable menu option that will work with any 3rd party app
all credit to you!!!!
hope you dont mind but have added the link to Slither's c++ cube thread

thanks for trying, this works as a seperate link but not through the cube??? for some reason it brings up Internet Explorer????
You can change the "url" of folder in config file, if you select for example start menu, than can you change folder tapping the top curtain. But you can go only in includes folder. I can't explain it, try it yourself
cheers man,
appreciate the work
thanks for your help

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?

Hello!
I am returning to Windows Mobile from Android. I purchased a T-Mobile Dash 3G, and am liking it so far, however I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to remove a lot of the applications from the start menu because they're really cluttering things and I want them gone. I can't access them through the File Explorer. When I find something, for example TeleNav, that I want to delete, the option to delete it is grayed out.
If anyone knows of a tweak, a hack, or a .cab I need to install to get this done, I would be GREATLY apprecative!
Have an awesome day!
here is the app called totalcommander download it install from phone. then you can go into the windows folder and then go into the start menu folder and from there you can create new folders to uncluter or delete what you dont want.
You can remove elements in Windows/Start Menu
You can also make folders and sub-categorize items to make the start menu clutter free.
The file explorer all ready on your device will support this.
You can change the start menu order using a registry editor and editing HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu\Order
can i change the folder icon?
