run a program when the phone first starts up?
To be as short as you with your question:
WINDOWS > AUTOSTART
add shortcut or executable
well let me b a little more long winded so i can get a more specific answer...i want to take a program and automatically have it run whenever i turn on the phone...which would in-tern..make my life much easier...what would be the way for me to do such a thing...thank you in advance...i would appreeciate it
Yep, my answer is still the same:
Add a shortcut of that particular program to the WINDOWS AutoStart folder. You might have a shortcut for the program you want to run at startup in your START MENU ??? Open FILE EXPLORER (or similar applications), navigate to: C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and copy the shortcut. Now navigate to C:\Windows\AutoStart and paste the shortcut there.

I'm confused. On my Apache, you place a shortcut to the program you want to run in "\Windows\Startup" I use Total Commander to make the shortcut, but there are other ways. Isn't the MDA the same?
It depends on your ROM version too!
If you do not have an AUTOSTART folder but a STARTUP folder then you have to put it in there! On my MDA it is called AUTOSTART
What is a good free startup software program? You know something like msconfig but for wm6(touch screen devices)? Thanks
canceled sorry
you can do it manualy by opening the windows directory with any explorer prog like total command or resco explorer and then go to startup folder
there you will see the list of the programs which startup with windows
delete what you want to remove
i hope that was useful for you
cheers

use memmaid.. it has a start-up editing feature that enables you to:
add/delete startup items
temporarily disable start-up of certain apps
configure/enable/disable startup services (dlls, drivers, etc.. not just programs/exes)
perfect thank you.

1- Can I put a link to the Windows' program folder (the one that appears near the end of the "Start" menu) in the Manila's program tab??
2- Additionally, can I put a link to a folder (e.g. Games) from the Windows program's folder in the Manila's program tab?
Thanks in advance.
I would LOVE to know if this could be done. Fingers crossed.
You can. I have even put files there (Manila program tab)
The thing you have to do is create a shortcut of your desired objecti (prog, folder, tab) and put the shortcut to windows/start Menu/programs folder. I created an extra "Shortcuts" folder there to not mess up the look of PROGRAMS item in start menu.
The point is you can add any shortcut to tf3d progs tab as long as it is situated in the start menu folder

It seems that by clicking the newly created shortcut, it launches the explorer progam to show what is within the folder
Not very sexy, any chance that it stays in manilla to display the folder content?

not working for me either... i did exactly what you said.. i used the built-in Explorer to create the "programs" shortcut .. but whenever i click on the button mapped to that shortcut, i get the message "The file 'Programs' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its componenets is messing...etc"
BTW, when i click on the newly created shortcut from the Explorer winodw, it opens the program folder in Explorer window too. What i need is to open the program folder in the same way it is opened when clicking "Start -> Programs"
Any ideas??
That's the same error message I got too.
Any help from anyone? I would like to know too cause mine is opening up the explorer too!
Bump. Hope this thread is not forgotten
Hello all, it may be a stupid question, I'm new to WinMo (moving from Symbian) but how I can create folders in Start Menu list (WM 6.5) and move installed applications to these folders ?

Hi Muntos!
The easiest way is to connect your device to the PC via activesync. Then click on "Explore" and copy your programmes and paste a shortcut in the windows/start menu folder. Don't put the actual programmes in the windows/start menu folder.
An alternative way would be to do it on your Diamond 2 using the file explorer. Use your stylus to press and hold the programme, then it comes up with a menu. Press "copy". Then using the file explorer, navigate to Windows/Start Menu folder and then press and hold the stylus in a blank part of the screen. Again, a pop-up menu will appear and you select "paste shortcut".
Total Commander PPC
Hi all
Total Commander for PPC is a very useful tool for this exercise. In particular it has a function to "Hide files in ROM". This allows the Windows folder to load in a fraction of the time but won't hide any of your start menu shortcuts.
You need to navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\XX where XX is the folder you want to edit/populate. If you want a folder to appear on the start menu itself, e.g. Games then create this directory:
\Windows\Start Menu\Games

Thank you guys, you made it very clear !
If you mentioned Total Commander, have you found a solution to the freezing problem when accesing Show\Directory hotlist ?
how can we make a shorcut on home screen to run haret?
tried a search but no luck.. .lotta old info.
thanks.. noob.
Why not just use an Android boot loader? It will even run CLRCAD for you first.
Same way you get anything else to quick link. Just put HARET.EXE in the start menu>programs folder in windows. Dunno if its safe to run from memory rather than SD though. Do this at your own risk.
To create shortcut that you can add to Sense, use file explorer and locate the exe. Click and hold it and select copy. Then go to \Windows\Start Menu\ and go edit - paste shortcut (or words to that effect).
You can then add it as a quicklink to your home tab.
But, that's how you add a shortcut. That won't help you run Android as you need to run 2 apps, not 1.
Instead, do what donkeypunch85 suggested and download an Android boot loader.
OR
Since Clrcad.exe doesn't do anything and it won't affect the System, just make a copy (not shortcut) of it and paste it in :/Windows/StartUp , then everytime you boot your device clrcad.exe will automatically launch,
then do this :
