Hello there,
Can someone please provide a definite answer. Where is the Contacts application and how to run it? I've tried many variations... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
You apparently remapped the Contacts button on the Today screen by installing Nadavi End Key, whatever that is. Hard reset your device and the Contacts button will reappear and then be careful what you install.
Until then, try starting the Phone app and the left soft key hopefully will be Contacts; or after ending a call you should get a screen with a Contacts button.
PocketCM V.17 just came out...
You could try loading it and giving it a testdrive. Maybe it will work out better than the default contacts app. Might even re-map the contacts button correctly for you too.
Just a thought...
Contacts shortcut is
/windows/AppButtons/Contacts.LNK
Ive uploading the Reg key for the Right Soft key (contacts) if you want it. Just use a reg editor like PHM Registry Editor to import it.
found a solution
I ended up using the link
Windows\Start Menu\Contacts.lnk
Many thanks to all of you for your assistance

Under settings buttons... always worth switching off and restarting then if that does not hard reset.

same problem here........................probably you installed another key mapper too? (AEBPlus).
It seems a hard reset is the only solution, or somebody could post the registry entry where this key map is defined!?
TIA
Yep put AEBPlus in didnt like so i uninstalled it now no comm manager Ahhh!!!!
After uninstalling AEBPlus, you keep stuck with only "4 buttons", at least in the System Settings. Happily everything keeps working...............expect the CommMgr button.
Either somebody posts the correct reg-entries for this key, or you have to do a hard reset.
I think it might be solved if you place the original files back into: \Windows\AppButtons
Maybe somebody can post a RAR file of that folder?
Second thing, I found the keys in the register. They can be found here:
Mobile device\HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
You will see that the 4 keys are there left by AEBPlus. The missing keys should be here when you have a working Wizard
Hope someone can post the keys and values aswell?
I had the same problem. The registry values in this post will restore function:

You have to add a string to the register. Then give that string the right name and value
AEBPlus was completely rewritten recently. New version will not harm any application buttons ever, compatible with almost any WM 2003/2003SE/2005 device and has a lot of new features

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?
Robin
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
I used Soft Key to change the shortcut @ the bottom of my screen i only wanted to change Calendar to New SMS, But when i started the Program it made me change both soft keys & Contacts is not in the list. Now i have New SMS & anything but Contacts.
Any body else had this problem? or does anyone have a fix for this????
Funny enough even if i navigate :
Start
Settings
Menus
Contacts is not in that list either.......Weird......
I have attached screen shots to help.
Thanks....
Learn to use the registry. The keys you are looking for are in:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys
Key 112 is your left soft key, and key 113 is your right soft key. You just rename the, "Default" value to what you want to appear on the screen, and the, "Open" value to what you want to launch (the Contacts.lnk is in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder I believe).
Oh, and get Schaps Registry Editor before any of that. ; )

Thanks for the info you have given but im afraid it don't help cause the contacts.ink or even contacts.exe is nowhere to be found on my device not even in the windows folder....
I have attached a screen shot for you to see.
Thanks again.
And by the way i use PHM Registry Editor.....
Do you already have "Contacts" in your start menu? On my phone, I have Contacts in my start menu, and it is no longer in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs but it is listed in Windows/Start Menu. I think it moves the .lnk over when it's active in the start menu. Just a thought.
I mean, it has to be on the phone somewhere. Although I can't seem to locate it in Windows either...kind of makes me wonder where the phone is pulling it from when I select it...hmm...
No it's not in my start menu, proof is in 1 of the attachments in my1st post.
Last nite i installed PocketCM and used soft key to choose the shortcut to it.
Now i have what i originally wanted
Left Shortcut:......New SMS
Right Shortcut:....Contacts (through PocketCM)
Sorted.........
Screen Shot Attached
Yeah, I use iContact v0.6. I'd love to use PocketCM if it didn't try and do so much more than just contacts. It's refusal to stop trying to handle SMS is what makes me stay away from it.
Not to sure what you mean about PocketCM taking over SMS just switch it off in options if you dont like it.....
I use PocketCM V0.23 together with TouchPal 3.0 and the SMS option works well for me if anything better than the original cause it shows the whole conversation and it makes it easier for you to remember what you texting about he he he....
Try it.....
I've got a similar problem:
My right softkey was Calendar, some time ago it said "shortcut not found".
I set it again using Schap's Advanced Config, but it kept disappearing 2 or 3 times.
Now, the links for Calendar and Contacts have disappeared in the Start Menu!
I was able to copy the calendar.lnk from the \Windows directory, but there is no contacts.exe.
I do not use PocketCM, so that's not the root cause...
Try installing PocketCM and use that for a while to see it that shortcut dissapears aswell.....
Sounds like we have all got gremlins in our Hermes!!!!!!!! he he he

Hi all
On my TF3D home page, the two menu items at the bottom (the ones between the TF3D scroll bar and the soft keys) now both read Calendar and Calendar. They both bring me to Calendar.
How did this happen and how can I fix them ? (I have tried a soft reset)
Many thanks
a soft reset will not change ur key assignment. don't have a hd yet so really can't direct u towards a solution but a hard reset will restore u to original settings.
however use that as a last resort. hopefully someone w/ a hd will respond.

Iv got a feeling you have played around with a registry editor
Use a registry editor, and go into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ and then change the strings for both HomeLSKPath and HomeLSKText or HomeRSKPath and HomeRSKText
Path meaning the location of the program you want to start
Text meaning the name of the program you want to start
solved with yet another hard reset
thansk to all for help
