Recently I changed from Pbar to WkTask as my program manager/launcher. In Pbar you could easily enable/disable Wifi/BT by clicking a built in icon. With Wktask that is not the case. Does anyone know what the name and location is for the program that enables/disables wifi? I would like to add it to my launch menu within Wktask and not use the Comm Manager as I feel it is slow and bulky.
I have searched and searched, but was unable to find an answer.
Thanks,
Jeff
I know someone knows the answer to my question. Please help me out.

Hi, is there a way to create a shortcut to the bluetooth settings?
I want to add a shortcut to spb Pocket Plus...
It may be "\windows\ctlpnl.exe -???" but I can not figure it out, or a way to edit a shortcut and assign an icon?
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks,
OB
there is a way. goto http://discussion.brighthand.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=79526 the shortcuts and dll for the icons are available for download. it works.
bnycastro: thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for
glad it worked for you as well
hi all,
I'm wondering if it is possible to customize the HTC CommManager and add some new shortcut.
Typically, the most usefull for me is, from the CommManager interface :
- to be able to activate/desactivate WM5 Storage (or at least open the WM5 storage)
- to be able to launch directly the WAP (or/and WEB) connexion.
Is there a way to customize the commManager ?
Rgds.
I ran a search for you. It's pretty easy to locate what you need with it.
This is as far as you can customize the Comm Manager as far as I know.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager]
"0"="FlighMode"
"1"="Phone"
"2"="WLAN"
"3"="Bluetooth"
"4"="DataDisconnection"
"5"="Ir"
additional keys
"6"="vibrate"
"7"="Activesync"
From this thread.
wow. this is cool.
i will try it
thanks man!

Thanks.
But in fact, I have already located this registry key...but no way to customize the function (by adding an appication path for example).
And beyond that, the other difficulty is to create some shortcut or commande line that could connect/disconnect to the WAP and WEB.
Unfortunately, I don't see anyhting about that in the thread you indicate me.
Any other ideas ?
Thanks again.
Rgds
I don't think there is any way to modify the application path for a given function as it's built into the dll (IIRC). A while back I found a way to add a "disconnect" option on the radio popup (when you click the radio on the toolbar) but I never saw a way to force it to connect.
how to create a link from commanager that can run only one function，For example open WIFI or clos Bluetooth.I mean I don't want every time to run commanager,only run a link to achieve.sory for my english and thank you.
Turning Wifi on and off in one click would be useful to me too
You can press on the GPRS icon and turn Wifi from there but its too small & uncomfortable
Because I use Spb Mobile Shell and I don't use Today so I create a page which I put links to achieve commanager's function.
there is a software called VJoublis..map it to your button..or make a shortcut to it and map it to any of the Icons and your done
also there is a thread here called "List of .lnks"...it has the shortcut number to Toggle ON/OFF GPRS,WIFI,BT and much more

thank you i'll try it,but i'd like to know what's the commanager's shortcut parameter,how can tell me
i dont think its possible because CommManager is a seperate EXE...but you could try looking in the Registery, perhaps thereis some info
"Battery status" has this feature in it's tray launch, I use this with large icons in "second today".
You could also try FtouchSL and use the active corners.
Holding a corner of the screen for say, a second, could turn on/off Wifi and same with bluetooth.
Greetings,
Here is a way from me, to make it possible, to customize your hardware buttons.
Step one:
Start the attached FDC Taskmanager, then tap <Menu>, <Options>, set enabled on "Create RegEdit Shortcut".
Now you can open the Regedit - Shortcut in Startmenu ( <Programs> - <System> ) and .reg - files will be associated with FDC-TM.
Now doubletap on the attached .reg - file, select importing.
Ready!
Restart the device!
Feature lost: Navipanel not start automatically, when you put the phone in carkit. Copy the Navipanel.lnk in Startmenu or lay it of the navigation-button.
Step two:
1. klick "Start"
2. klick "Settings"
3. klick "Hardware-Buttons"
4. customize

edit: when is it not easy enough, give me your adress and I will come to you and do it for you!
Thanx for the effort and for sharing Mirko!
I will definitely try it
bravo super boulot
Still starting
Hi!
I have succesfully created the two buttons in the control panel of the PDA and assigned them to right and left program key. And the work!
My problem is that the Tomtom and Footprint also start, which is a feature I would like to remove. I would much rather have them start the old fashion way, as this is a phone as a primary device.
Can anyone direct me to a solution. I would like to keep the programs installed but can as a last resort remove them if it helps (and if I can).

This problem occurs when you do not set the "NaviService" service to Manual and stop it. See the first post in this thread from Mirko, he explains it.
@ Snwstrm
U must read my post, stands:
"Now go with the FDC Taskmanager to "Services", stop "NaviService(NPS0)", long klick it, then change to "set manual". When you not do this, you have a double assignment on buttons."
Greetz Mirko
edit: Argh! Not seen, Evincar was almost answering, sorry!
No such service
Hi!
Thanks for a quick reply. I don't have FDC but Pocket Controller Pro as a task handling program and I cannot see any service that resembles the one U are talking about. My guess is that it differs depending on localization, but I will try to get a hold of FDC program to verify.
I tried to get help from HTC, but they couldn't help me. I guess they have some deal w TomTom and don't want to make it easy to switch or eradicate their program. They wrote to me about PocketToolman but it did nothing new, just a nifty way to access controlpanel.
Keep on looking,
Snwstrm
What about Google? FDC TM is freeware.
Greetz Mirko!
Victory!
You are absolutely right! I will have to contact SOTI regarding their software. FDC worked wonders and now I see no trace of TomTom or Footprint. Just the way I wanted.
Thanks!
Snwstrm
Nice, can help!
Thanks for this. I switched from Vox and I was quite angry, when I had to tap to top right to confirm something. Now footprint does this.

Mirko ,could you explain me more. I'm not good in registry edit,actually just started.
I've downloaded your attached file and already set it on my device but I don't under stand about your explanation.
1 "Copy the Navipanel.lnk in Startmenu or lay it of navigation-button." I don't where is the start menu in Registry and how to do it.
2 stop "NaviService(NPS0)", long klick it, then change to "set manual" that means
go to HKLM\service\NaviService and change value form default to 0???? and I don't understand about how to set manual could you explain me more.
Thank you very much

Hello,
I am looking for an app to toggle my gps on/off. Can anyone help me with this?
I have the issue that when I have my phone in flight modus and am out of the country both GSM and GPS are disabled. I would like the GSM to be disabled in favor of GPS to be enabled. I wan't this option for my Tom Tom navigation when out of the country,so it does not get interrupted by phone calls or smsses.
Kind regards
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gps-toggle.html
Im also looking for a simple on/off toggle button for the gps.
Since you can have that in android i figure it should exist something similar created for wm.
I have only found wm homescreen plugins so far but since thats no use when you running manila or CHT it not even worth downloading.
Looks like ill have to keep searching....

You're right.
I'll test it under pure WM and check the registry while toggling on opr off : maybe I'll be able to detect what keys to change to get the same results directly, and possibly make a CHT widget.
Edit :
Found this one here :
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Samsung_i600
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver]
"IsEnabled"=DWORD:00000001
-> change to 0 to toggle off ?
I'll check if it works... And if it actually saves battery life.
A Possible Work Around
I could not get the app from the link above to work on my HD2. It said it installed successfully, but I could find no exe or shortcut for it anywhere on my HD2. I searched a couple of app forums here and found nothing else.
Here is a possible solution although it is not a one-click solution like most toggles. It is based on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645916
Using a text editor, paste this into a new file:
30#ctlpnl.exe AGPSSettingsCPL.cpl - location services settings
Save the file with the name such as GPS Toggle.lnk (that's a small "L" in lnk).
Copy the shortcut file to the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder. From there you can access it using the Start button/menu. Also, depending on the UI, you may be able to create a button on your main screen. I have Co0kie's Home Tab which provides the ability to create buttons on the home screen. (Co0kie's Home Tab has a number of toggle switches, but not one for GPS.)
This shortcut will bring up the Location screen from Settings. This may or may not be what you want. To be honest, I could not find a place that says "turn on/off GPS."
AGPS only allows to use available data network to update the satellites positions database in order to speed up satellites location.
It should have nothing to do with having the GPS receiver actually turned on or off...
In fact, it's turned off on my HD2, and I'm still able to use the GPS.
I'm currently trying to evaluate the effect the above registry value change has on battery lifetime...
Edit :
OK, at least your post put me on a track :
The registry tweak actually switches on or off the "Automatic GPS management" checkbox in the "Access" panel from the "External GPS" applet in WM "System" settings.
You can still use a shortcut as the one you posted, but it should contain 25#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,25,2 instead (GPS settings - Access).
Now the registry trick has strictly the same effect, and can be made out of a simple MortScript - then a CHT switch, too.
The only problem is I couldn't notice a better battery consumption, actually...
