You will need to use a Registry Editor. Here is the step to remove
Go into the registry editor, delete this key
\HKLM\init\Launch92

I have just got my first Windows Mobile 5 Device, a MDA Vario. Its great, but Ive put Photo Contacts Pro on it, and changed the home screen soft key from contacts to Photocontactspro. Thing is, the app name is too long and gets cut off to "photo con"
Is there anyway to rename this softkey?
Thanks
You can do that in the registries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 - right key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113 - left key
Values:
Default=Button label
Open=command
Cool, thanks
Hmmm
I wonder if you can help me.
I tried VITO ButtonManager and it has well and truly screwed up my softkey definitions for the Today Screen.
The right one seems to change what is does and the left one does not work at all.
I have disabled Button Manger but still cannot get the softkeys to work again.
How would I reset them to their original values?
Please bear in mind I have NEVER changed a registry key before?

Remapping SoftKeys
Robster, there is a complete incompatibility between our Wizard and VitoButtonMapper soft.
For interested people there is a specific soft to change Right and Left key applications (for instance, the right softkey is now launching TomTom instead of Contact).
Juste time to find where I may share this soft with you !
You could just follow the registry tweaks up top
It's not much more difficult from using Windows Explorer and notepad
Howsitgoin all
I have removed the battery, and the screen rotation tool, but cannot find the reg hack to remove this, any suggestions?
Search the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr and change the DWORD Keep to 0, soft-reset and voila !!!
Sorry for my bad english ...
Be aware that all you do is hide the icon. The service itself keeps running.

but WirelessMgr not working any more
Hi,
pefect to remove all icons and to remove the taskbar.
But If I disable the WirelessMgr and open the WirelessMgr by another icon, which I postet on the today screen, all 4 buttons are grey and I can't start and stop bluetooth / Wireless / Mobile.
How Did you solve this?
I will remove the icon and get more space on today page but I don't want to tun him off.

Although they are greyed out, you can still enable/disable them by using the Settings menu. You will not get a GUI confirmation that they are on/off though, have to depend on the LED's.
it caused me a problem on the original rom, but on the latest rom it works fine for me to activate using an icon, or as I prefer Fn right arrow
GUI ?
Any idea/ workaround on how to get the GUI confirmation that they are on/off ?
Thanks to pocketnow.com for this great tip.
If you would like to be able to drag your SIP (Keyboard) around the screen rather than have it docked to the bottom, the following registry edit is for you.
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Control Panel\SIP
Change the value of Dragstyle from 0 to 1 and then soft reset. When you do, you'll find a large bar at the top of your keyboard, which you can grab to drag the thing around. The next time it opens, the keyboard will be back where it started.
Looks like a handy tip for the Wiki
I dont think i ever gonna need this mob but its a good thing to know that this can be done! Thanks for the info
Seems to be bugged in HD :
Black line on top of the keyboard we can drag & move on screen, but the bottom line with ctrl, space, ... disappear.
Yes i tried it and hated it. You could not close the keyboard after coz icons disappear. Back to normal for me.

The problem is that whilst it has a large bar at the top, it cut off the bottom row of numbers and letters! It was a right bastard to fix as I could not gain access to the 0 key to chnage it back.
I'm not using any panel or TF3D, and have a few objects (messages, calendar, appointments, etc) on my Today screen.
There are 2 things I would like to change though,
1. Is there a way to make the font color black, instead of white? Can't use any bright wallpapers, because the text becomes unreadable.
EDIT: Solution for question 1, use UI Tweaker http://freewareppc.com/utilities/uitweaker.shtml.
2. Is there a way to remove the horizontal lines between the objects?
Help appreciated!
There are allot of programs hints and tips for customising the today screen on this thread.

Thanks Mark, but I've looked through it already.
Thought someone would give me a quick tip to remove the lines on the today screen.
Seach for Removetodaylines.cab
Thanks FellowEn, but there doesn't seem to be such a file. Tried both search types..
Edit: Think I've found a solution:
The registry edit to remove them are: In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today add a new DWord key with name “ HidePluginSeparators ” and value 1 Soft-reset after the edit.
Will try that and report back later
Edit 2: It works!
