This seems like a question that must have been asked and answered many times before, but I'm apparently to dumb to find it by searching the archives. I'm hoping someone will have mercy on my ignorant self, and tell me the answer.
Here's what I'd like to do. I use a website, Sigalert, to check traffic before I leave the house to go to work. That way I know which route will get me to work quickest. (Not that I'm anxious to arrive at work, but they do complain so loudly when I'm late). I'd like to create a shortcut to the web page so I can put an icon on the today page (I use Resco Explorer, which allows me to put shortcuts to programs etc on the today screen). Anyway, if I could create a shortcut to the web page, I could do this, or assign the shortcut to a button, or whatever. If I only knew how to create a shortcut to a webpage, which I don't, so please help. I'm using Opera if that makes a difference. Thanks for your help!

I'd have to think out a process for doing that, perhaps later. Meantime, just a quick thought why not set it as your PIE homepage.
Another thing I do is to create a word page with lists of weblinks including streaming TV and radio stations. If I open the page I can tap on the link I want and it auto opens PIE and loads the page. You might ask why not just put these web links in PIE favourites - answer, it takes a while for PIE to load and then you have extra taps to get to favourites etc etc. Also it's a lot clearer on the word document and you can also type a little description beside each one.
Mike
Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I just tried creating a word doc with my most used websites. Works well. I've put the word doc on the Today screen in the Resco area with a large icon. I can poke it with my fat thumb and launch the document. I used 12 point & double spacing in the word doc, and I can poke the links with my fat thumb as well. It works better than my previous solution, which was creating a contact for the website, starting the name with a symbol so it showed up at the top of the contact list, I'd poke at on contacts from the Today screen, then on the contact, then again on the website. Unfortunately this opened the page with PIE instead of Opera. Your solution is a lot easier to open with thumbs, and allows me to use my preferred browser, but it does leave a bit of cleanup to do. Once the browser is closed, the Word doc must be closed, then the Word Mobile "open file" screen must be closed, then it seems "Search" continues to run in the background. None the less, your solution is better that what I had been doing, so I'll use it. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Ah Ha! I think I have the solution... at least for Resco users, although for all I know, Resco may not be necessary. Here's how I was able to make a shortcut to a URL to put on the Today screen, use with voice dialing, etc..
First I made a Word file with one line: the URL I wanted to make a shortcut to.
After saving it as a word doc, I highlighted it in Resco file explorer, then right clicked (push and hold w/stylus), selected "rename" and changed the extension to .lnk
Then I right clicked the renamed file and chose properties, then selected the shortcut tab. The target was a bunch of gobblygook, so replaced the gobblygook with the URL I wanted the shortcut to point to and clicked OK.
Success! Now the file is a shortcut. When I click on it, it goes to the website I selected as the target. It can be accessed with voice dialing: start/settings/voice dialing/ application tab/ then choose the shortcut from the list. Or you can assign it to a button. Or you can put it on the Today screen using Resco.
It may be that all the steps are not necessary, it's just how it ended up working for me.

Hi Folks
I've broken something. I know, it had to happen. All this "playing around" with my new toy (No, not like that! )
Going to PocketWord and it'll open something that I don't recall putting in there. This turns out to be a file in the "My Documents" called "CONFIG" that had loads of characters that are not letters, you know, like symbols and the like?
If I goto Menu / File / New it gives the message
"A problem with the document was encountered and it cannot be opened".
I suspect I've deleted something I shouldn't have Help?!

Ok... First I don't think the config file in my documents is vital and I would delete it. (if your concerned about it then copy it somewhere-else and then delete.
On a PC Word uses a template for blank documents called normal.dot but on Pocket Word it uses blank.dot This file should be present in the windows folder in main memory.
After deleting the config file, I would try word again.
If it still fails to open a new wod doc, then look to make sure the template file blank.dot is present.
Mike
Hi Mike
I checked and there wasn't a blank.dot file in the windows folder, so I managed to open an word doc I already had, blanked it and saved it as blank.dot where you suggested. I closed word and tried again only to find the same error message.
So does this rule out an error with that side of word, and otherwise what would you suggest?
TIA

This is a little mysterious! Firstly because the original blank .dot is protected and should not be able to be removed normally. I suspect it's become corrupted. Still the replacement should have been ok. However, lets hope all your templates are not corrupted. Open a doc in word and go to menu>tools>options>default template and choose another, say memo. Close out of word and reenter. It should open and when you press new a memo should appear. A bit of a pain but until a better solution comes along you can always delete the memo lines and treat as a blank doc.
Will check around to see if there is another way to replace blank.dot
Mike
Thanks, I've had a look in the options and for "Templates" it is blank. There are NO templates at all on the machine

Good grief what have you been upto - thought I was the only one who manged that sort of thing!!.
Perhaps you could PM POF and see if he knows a way of reinstalling Word or using the ROM cab files to re-install without having to do a full hard reset. Failing this all you could do would be to create your own blank template but it would not automatically open when you tap new because I think New can only be set to one of the four standard templates - Blank, Memo, Metting Notes and one other I forget. Certainly when I created a template and put it in the templates folder it listed the official four but not mine in the drop down list for the new document default template. (i.e the list that's now empty for you)

Nope, no chance of that....
There are plenty of "us" around
One shall, er, carefully dig
Ah ha!
I have found that I do actually have some files in the windows directory that are templates.
blank meeting memo phone todo
These did momentarily have Word Template icons moments ago, and tried to go in via Word again but now the icons match up with notes.
blank 0b
meeting 1.55k
memo 2.06k
phone 1.96k
todo 3.02k
Right clicking over "blank" reveals that it is read only. I have tried but I cannot remove the RO flag. I am hoping that because the file is zero bytes then this is causing the problems, which are still there
Onwards eh!
Edit: The 0 byte file is actually a memo file. The Word templates are 7kb apart from Todo which is 14k...

Those file sizes look fine apart from blank.dot which should also be 7kb.
On mine I just checked the templates and they should open directly from the windows directly. They all have word icons.

I have the notes templates and the word templates. Alas late night scrolling across the PDA got me confused.
Do you know of a way to make the files non read only? I don't seem to be able to change that at all? I've tried in Windows and on the PDA.
Although, I have now fixed the ActivSync issue so it doesn't keep disconnecting Grr Hubs Grr.

Nope, I tried reseting read only tag on both PDA and PC as well, no joy. I have posted a thread asking if anyone knows how to re-install an application without hard re-set. I believe it is possible if you have extended rom cabs showing but which cabs as I do not see one clearly marked Word.cab or something similar. The joys!!!
Mike
Thank you Mike for all your help.
I've not even breached the option of ROMs yet or even dabbled in it, and I don't think I've got the guts to juuuuuust yet
If all else then I shall do a reset, a hard reset.
I seem to have this problem also, interestingly. Today when I tried to open the word mobile program, I got this prompt saying that I can't open a new word document due to some error and brings me to my storage card wif all the word documents which I can open wif ease. What seems to be the problem? Any way I can reinstall this program again without hard resetting? I am pretty sure it's not some software conflicts, maybe I accidentally removed some shared files with memmaid.
YES!! Finally I got it. I shifted my documents folder with the sub folder 'templates' to the storage card before so now I just placed back the templates subfolder to the device's My Documents folder and that basically solved my problem!
I thought I'd start a thread for anyone else out there like me who thinks that rhov23's Itask application is fantastic but has yet to figure out all of his/her device's configuration. If we all collaberate, we can probably limit the repetetive questions rhov23 gets so that he can continue to focus on advancing Itask even further.
Anyway, I'll keep this updated with the latest answers and fixes. Post your own configuration questions and hopefully someone else has already found the answer and can help you out. It is also worth noting that it is usually necessary to restart iTask after making changes or modifications. Below is my modified input.txt file and descriptions of the changes I've made thus far. There is still a ton of work left to do:

For example, &appsexec4=\windows\wmplayer.exe&END refers to my windows media player. If you either look through the folders of your device from your computer or look through your file explorer on your device you can find the path to just about every program and link it correctly to the proper button. So, you insert the proper path aft this part, &appsexec4=

You need to copy the input.txt file from the iTask folder on your phone and paste that copy somewhere on your computer to begin modifying.
Don't know why??

The first set starting with \itask work for me. The only one that doesn't is the link to backlight setting. The ones that work for you from the \windows\start%20menu don't work at all. Thanks for your input though.

Are you able to update the weather and news without being connected via active sync?
okay who here has itask completely working i have questions for them
rde first of all do you have an instant messanger name so you could help me figure this out quicker?
if not here are my issues i downloaded itask the other day and only a few programs worked the rest were screen shots how do i change it so it goes directly to the program?
i tried changing some things in input and saved but no changes occured
Some Help
This is a great application, which once you get used to is straight forward, if a little time consuming to set up. Half the fun for me is working out things that I don't really understand. I have the original input text file open alongside the one that I'm configuring. You just have to find the section in the input text relating to the icon your trying to link, and after the = add the path for the application you want that icon to open. The path can be found in Explorer (or better still Resco Explorer) on your device. Most applications are found in Windows, Start Menu, Programs. This is what you type into the input text file in itask, remembering a space has to be replaced by %20 and that the text has to be exactly the same as on your device.
So, if you want to assign a program (say File Explorer) on your device to the first icon on the Apps page of itask (ie when you launch itask, click the 3rd icon along which says Apps, the first button is in the top left of the new screen and has a smiley face on it) alter the text in the input.txt file of itask after &appstext1="\Windows\Start%20Menu\Programs\File%20Explorer.Ink&END" Don't use the " " I've included them to show what you should type. When you close input.txt and restart itask, the smiley face button in Apps will open File Explorer. And so on until you've linked an icon to each program you want to open.

The "another top" program you see is nothing but a screenshot, you can replace it by changing *loadpic*.jpg to any other picture you want, or if you want your application to open immediately, change your *loadtime configuration in input.txt to 0.
im using chiese tp2 with tf3d, over here we have opera originaly come with my tp2 however, i can only open 2 tabs, one is first page and one more after that. my job needs to be using more tabs that HTC gave to us (2 tabs only) i normally needed 4~ 6 different tabs, therefore, im wondering that if there is anyone know how to unlock this "tab problem"
i have already tried to adjest the "max allowable" in opera:config, but wnehever i tried that still i can only open 2 tabs.
i really need to have this function to be unlocked, and please help me
There was a thread around here that contains the exact solution to your problem.
Solution
type in the browser "opera:config" without the quotes, scroll down to "User Prefs" and click on it. scroll though that list till you get to "Max Allowed tabs". i changed mine to 15, I dont recommend changing it to 100 and then trying to open 100 pages. My pc has firefox and ive only had to use a max of 25 tabs
Sprint TP2
I have tried this time & again to no avail. Am i doing something wrong?
you may already know this but you have to scroll down to the end of the user pref. section and click the save button after you change the setting.
mylok, yeah had done that already. no such luck.
The reason it won't work for you is because of push internet. Opera is always running in the background. That's why the changes you make in opera:config won't stick.
2 ways to go about it:
-disable push internet and stop Opera from running. You can't do this from the GUI. See here for details.
-or you can edit the opera.ini file directly with a text editor. This is actually quite easy. Save the file to your desktop and open it with notepad. It's very easy to figure out what you need to edit. Open it and try. Then overwrite the original file. (it's found under "\windows\opera9\")
These are my requests that I have which would actually "complete" my perfect HD2... if any members here would like to contribute some info as to how I may go about and fulfill them, then I would have much gratitude. Thanks
-Aside from the volume control that MysticGenious posted along with his taskbar, is there any other cab or registry change that will allow me to change my volume in increments of 1 as opposed to 3 bars each time? I am familiar with the paid app, but I do not want to go that route.. If mysticGenious created something that works when you use his taskbar, then I'm sure someone else has created something.
-Take the application "FootPrints" for example... Unless I have that activated on my tab screens, I am unable to create a shortcut so that I can save it on as a quicklink. This is the same with the HTC Calender App and any other tab application. If its not active in the Tab menu then the shortcuts doesn't exist. Is there a workaround? I would like to use Foot Prints, but I only want it as a quicklink, NOT as a Tab folder. I have already tried activating the tab and creating the shortcut to the quicklinks, but as soon as i removed it from the Tab Menus, it disappeared. There has got to be a way for this to happen. Cause I mean the program is there, but for some reason it only works if its active in Tabs.
-Transformers... I have tried reinstalling the Transformers cab but that didn't work. I just want to be able to click the Transformers shortcut and be able to select either 1 or 2 and then the movie instantly pops up. I have the movies saved on my sd card now, but because i moved them out of the SD card and onto my computer at one point in time, the link that connected them is no longer there. Basically I have all the components, I just need some guidance on how to make the shortcut link and work again... I'm assuming that i have to direct the file via registry editor "Total Commander" or something, I am just confused when it comes to that stuff on my HD2
and believe it or not, thats actually the only issues I have left with the phone, I'm sure that someone has a suggestion, or knows an answer... thanks a lot guys
Hi,
few days ago a friend showed me a great OSx functionality - Smart Folders.
Basically it is a "virtual" folder, does not really contains files but rather an active search folder.
Let say you want to have a place that will display only word/text documents created within last 5 days, or only doc files.... regardless of where they really are.
Can you get such functionality in Windows?
I know "search" pretty good but using it instead of set folder, means we have to perform search every time we want to display files we look for,
There's a thing in Windows (going all the way back to Vista) called "Saved Searches" although I've never met anybody who uses it. Open Explorer and run a search. Use the Search tab on the Ribbon to refine the search, if you want - search by date, or size, or exclude certain file types, or whatever - and then click Save Search. Specify the location you want the saved search to appear in under the filesystem (defaults to <username>\Searches). It will appear as a special sort of washed-out folder icon with a search icon superimposed on it.
You can also create "virtual folders" that combine the contents of several real folders; that's all that libraries are. It's easy to create your own, too. Probably not what you were referring to, though.
Libraries ARE smart folders.... Apple playing 'catch up' again!!!!!
As described, I actually thing the saved search folders are much closer... but yeah, as I said, that's been in Windows since 2006.
The only thing I find annoying with "saved search" that I cant' set it to update on intervals. It is only updating when I open the folder - this means I have to wait
I do not know Mac OS at all but form what I seen it looked to be working "more user friendly" on Mac Pro.
