MDA PRO - How to change default assigned status bar function

By status bar functions I mean the functions that appear on the bottom line either side of the keybaord icon.
On my MDA PRO these are Messages and Calender.
I would prefer contacts.
Not found anywhere ,where this is set.
What would be nice is if the bar that displays these functions was transparant.

But you have a contacts button available. Why do you want two?
Here is a possible solution:
TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Open your registry
HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112
Change the (default) key from Messages to Contacts
Change the Open key from \windows\htcmessages.exe to \windows\start menu\contacts

Contacts button?
Well I have had a few too many glasses of wine this lunch time.
Just turned on my PDA (MDA PRO)
It screen out , eg folded with screen visible and keypad hidden.
Screen is on. Where is the contact button? I have to go into Phone to get to contacts?
I may re assign the camera button, but want to change the options at the bottom of the screen. I can reach them with my thumb.
Cheers.

FYI on the O2 XDA Exec I have the following keys:
Open "\windows\calendar.lnk"
OldOpen "Calendar.exe"
Default "Calendar"
Whic gives me left soft key 'Calendar'
Where does the right soft key 'Contacts' get set?

I think you have had one too many this lunch time.
Along the top of the keyboard you have:
button 1 - open phone
button 2 - messages
button 3 - contacts
button 4 - video phone
button 5 - calendar
button 6 - close phone

What keyboard, my phone is screen out, keyboard hidden.
As I highlighted, I want a fast button / task bar option for contacts , without twisting to reveal keyboard.

Sorry GDawes it must have been me that had one to many sherberts at lunch time:
Anyway here is what you need to do!
Open your registry
HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112
Change the (default) key from Messages to Contacts
Change the Open key from \windows\htcmessages.exe to \windows\Appbuttons\Contacts.lnk
Soft reset
JOB DONE!

How do I *REMOVE* the "Calendar" & "Conta

Hi all,
I would like to know if this is possible - Removing the "Calendar" & "Contacts" buttons from my Today Screen (you know, the last row...), which will result in the bottom row of the screen to show the shortcut icons (Wireless Manager, Screen Rotation, Battery, etc.)
EDIT" Damn, why is my title truncated?

a similar-ish project, which doesn't hide the soft keys bar, but I'm sure it's possible for the author to add that;

Wisbar Advance Desktop will do this for you, you also have the choice to remove the top bar as well =)

PROB SOLVED - Icons on uppr right start tl bar do nt shw up

Please see attached screen capture to visualize problem. The signal strength icon only shows 1/2 of itself, the volume and upcoming appointment icons do not show up at all. Occasionally, when the setting page is displayed, the signal strength icon will display in its entirety. Once the settings screen is minimized, then the signal strength goes back to 1/2 display. Any ideas as to what is wrong? Thank-you, MWP.[/img]

Help - Icons on upper right start tool bar do not show up
I have the same problem, it happened right after I installed Registry Wizard. Anyone know how to fix this, or what setting on Registry Wizard may have caused this?

Help - Icons on upper right start tool bar do not show up
In Regisrty Wizard, I had to set the "Task Bar Date/Time" from "Nothing" to "Clock" to get my sound and signal icons back.

What happens if you're not using registry wizard?
Is there a reg hack using Resco Registry that I can entry to correct this problem? Thanks for your help in advance, MWP.

Problem Solved!
Alter Taskbar Date/Time
Registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Key: TBOpt (dWord)
Value: 0 = Nothing
1 = Time
2 = Date
3 = Time and date
Using option 1 works like a charm and restores the tool bar icons!
Regards to all, MWP.

Any way to change the bar at the bottom of the today screen?

Im talking about the thin bar at the bottom of the screen that says "phone" on the left and "programs" on the right. Im looking for some way to change it so instead of programs on the right side i have contacts.

There are at least half a dozen apps that do this (depending on if you're using TouchFlo3D or just the standard Today screen), or you can manually edit the appropriate registry keys. Try a search, you should find the answer in a matter of seconds.

In the registry, HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
Left Soft key:
HomeLSKText
HomeLSKPath
Right Soft key:
HomeRSKText
HomeRSKPath

[Q] Hiding Control Panel Icons - some still remaining

I am trying to hide all icons from windows mobile control panel. I know the registry hack by setting DWORD 'Hide' to 1 for each subkey in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel].
I'm using a Garmin-Asus M10 device (Windows Mobile 6.5). There are some custom control panel entries in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ASUS\ControlPanel]. I've deleted all of them.
After all i was able to hide the most of the control panel icons, but there are still some like 'external gps', 'regional and languages settings', 'error report', 'info', 'storage' or 'remove programs' (I'm unsing a german version, so I'm not sure, if all theses translations were correct ).
With the most visible settings i can live with, but it is very important for me to hide the 'regional and languages settings' from control panel. I could not find an appropriate registry entry. I've also checked up [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel], but nothing.
Does anybody know, how i can hide the 'regional and languages settings' from control panel?
