I did what you wrote me and everything is ok, but if I try create a new folder (in \windows\startmenu\) I don't see the folder, the same if I create in \windows\startmenu\programs\.

Nope u can create shortcuts for other icons in the Other tab...yet there is one way...search the DEV/HACK area for a thread .INK Shortcuts or some thing like that.
btw which shortcut do u want
Searching for the Wifi network discovery, looked in the windows folder does not give the right links.
I'll put out a search for .ink.
Tnx
here u go....its complicated alittle..but if u want to make a shortcut of any file (those that are in that thread)..just copy the location from the post and paste it on ur pc(in a new text file)...and save them as .lnk..now copy them to ur pc and check them out

helo ihave a jasjar and in the programes folder thers the games folder and that folder have an icon on it (cards).
i want to be able to have icons on evry folder that i did.
can it be done .
thank u all.
yanivbe: examine the icon.lnk in the games folder and then use the same technique as required.
FYI:
make a shortcut or document, eg:
1#shellres.dll,-8229

Save as icon.lnk and place in each folder as required.
For more details on the .lnk syntax, search against my username for the word "completeness".

And is it replaceable?
i was wondering is there a way we can add programs from the sd card to the short cut on the manila program launcher. i know if u copy it from sd to the program section on the phone u will be able to do it but wont that take up more memory and slower your phone down.. i mean its already pretty slow after the manila theme but any ways let me know if there is any other way of doing that thanks a lot xda people.....

Just use a prog like Total Commander to make links to the Storage Card progs. Make sure you put the links in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/. Now, you'll be able to add them to the Launcher menu.
copy and then paste the shortcut only. this doesnt take much memory at all.
and it works perfect.
this u also can do with the standart file explorer
how do u do that.. i try but couldn't find how to create shortcuts..
There is a free program with name "start menu manager" that does exactly this, Google it.

(number of characters here)# "program location here"
save as a .txt and rename to .lnk and place it in windows\start menu\program files
apps from sd run slows
Using the default file explorer just copy the file then paste as shortcut. That's the easiest way to do it on the device.
hi Guys.
i have a problem here with the herald and the quick App select in the HTC HOME.
i can only select apps that are on the programlist. But i have apps on the storage card. i want the exe files to appear in the programlist so i can select them in the quick app menü in HTC HOME.
i tried to make a shortcut from the apps exe an paste it in windows... in windows/programs but it doesnt work.
do i have to edit the registry ? i dont know what i have to add in there.
please help
You need to paste the shortcuts in windows/Start Menu/Prorgrams and whichever folder you want to drop it in or just drop it in that folder and it will work ^_^.
It worked !
THANK YOU !
How can I unhide system files in HD2?

In File Explorer, click "Menu" and then "Show all files".
That should do the trick

It does'nt work.
I tried to do what in "Leo Hints & Tips" for exp:
"1. Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files to see the games listed."
I can't copy files as instructed (working with total commander) and if the files were copied I can't reach/see them.
I think you may have misunderstood the original instructions.
Open file manager (not total commander) and navigate to Windows folder.
Locate the file BubbleBreaker (it's 46K, not one of the others)
Highlight it and keep it pressed till you get the menu with "Copy" in it. Do Copy.
Scroll back to the top and go into "Start Menu\Programs\Games".
Do "Menu, Edit, Paste Shortcut".
As I'm a pedant, I renamed the shortcut, removing the "Shortcut to" prefix.
Then, when you go Start Menu & then Games, BubbleBreaker is in there.
Now I've just done that exactly as typed above, whilst describing it for you, so it should work for you.
Let us know if you still have a problem.
Hi,
It works!
Now I got the idea.
Thanks.

Don't know what to say mate - it's in my Windows folder. There's a bunch of files called eT9.Rhodium.xxxx and then eT9MyWords is after them (directly after eT9DeadKeys).
I take it you did unhide system files as previously suggested? (I'm not sure if you need to do that for the games suggestion).
I have a slide deferent question. I would like to delet exe file from thew windows folder but I can't because I can't select Delete, have anyone some advice?
delete exe file
it has been awhile since i have done this, also some files are impossible or almost impossible to delete.
if you have been trying to do it from ur phone, go instead, to your active sync/windows mobility center. click file mgt and browse contents of device, navigate to the exe u want to delete. i have done it before and it has worked on several ocassions. be careful on what u r deleting, you may want to do a google on it b/f u do it
if this does not do it, i got no clue hope this helps someone
johncmolyneux - special thanks to u for the hidden games trick, ? are there any other hidden games in the hd2 winmo 6.5 professional, or where i may find out?

Thanks johncmolyneux,
Got there in the end - I had shown system files, but seems like it somehow "reverted".
Cheers!
Is it possible to add folders to the quick links . I would like to set up some groups of related apps.
thanks for any advice
bump. I want this too.
maybe u can try go to
/window/star menu/Program (*Copy the 'Program' , then go back to /stroage card, paste the shortcard)
then inside 'Program' u can create a folder and then put the file u wan together. u also can copy ur app on ur stroage card to this folder. (if copy files or app then paste inside 'Program' MUST BE 'PASTE SHORT CUT'
I do this for my office file, cos i have a lot of price list and item need using exel and word, so i can create quick link on my home tap ^^
hope this will help u.

Erm not 100% sure what you are suggesting?
I tried making a shortcut to the games folder in the program folder. I could then add this onto the quick links but sadly when I click on that it just gives an error. I guess its trying to execute a program as opposed to just firing up the shotcut.
This would be handy as I want nice and quick access to games but can't really have them all linked on the quick links lol.
I did read how to exactly do this in the blackstone forum but cant for the life of me rememember how to do it.
I have done some searching around the forum and can't seem to find anything helpful. This should surely be fairly easy. Quick links to folders would be very handy.
