Please help with this registry entry

Hi,
:evil:
Somehow when I uninstalled a program it deleted my inbox/messaging registry setting for the today screen?. Can someone browse to hkeylocalmachine/software/microsoft/today/items and give me all the details for "Messaging" or is it "Inbox" with all the reg keys for it.
Thanks...
I'm attaching a screen shot of the "Messaging" entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\ hope this helps.
Thank you so much bnycastro Now I don't have to hard reset just to get back my messasing.
glad I could help :wink:
Please help me out here!
I installed PHM reg software but can't find it on the phone at all or get access to the registry, i've been looking through the foum because i didn't want ask about something thats discussed already but can't find what i need.
Please help!!
its in the programs folder
PHM REgEdit
jfran,
PHM Reg EDIT sometimes does not gfet installed if you download the msi file and install the same using active sync. In Active Sync, it points to the file as already installed but you will not find it under programs
Instead download the CAB file and install using cabInstal. You can find the CAB file also in the same place as when you found the msi file in Phillippe's web site
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Deepak

cheers for the assistance I tried that one, the link comes up as intrusted / unsigned
works fine as a direct link through programs , just not through the cube
any ideas?
First Go here then try here
no joy so far
tries shortcut creator, been through the lnk thread... again....
tried google...
there must be a way to shortcut to a specific folder???
if you read the actual 051 thread, slither discusses this many times and says it won't be available until 052
I think it involves passing a parameter to fileexplorer...

create a link to your file explorer
tap and hold
select properties
add '-windows\start menu\games' to the end of the link so you should end up with something like
program files\file explorer.exe -windows\start menu\games
cheers for the help folks, still no go.
will have to see if slither can resolve in the next release

I got it wrong, no '-' before the address
"fexplore.exe" windows\start menu\programs\Games
exactly as above in the properties of any .LNK will do it

cheers mate but vust links to the 'my device' page on file explorer no matter what i do.
have looked into and edited folderview.exe so it should route to an alternative folder but the signature is not taking via msigner.
was thinking that this might be the 'simple' way but must be doing something wrong, was thinking set the shortcut to a generic option (ie Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Test) would give some flexibility (we could just add/rename folders in the program list
any idea what i am doing wrong on the resign?
edit: unsign/resign done will work on the edit to see if i can get this to work

Please try this It's part of Wisbar Advance 3, Start Panel. Files in folder my documents > my documents and exe put somewhere.

If you have problems with startup (blank white page) and using wktask or programs like this, make exception to run always in background. Then to refresh list you must restart it.

Hi IkE Blaster, Spot on, works perfectly!!!! is it possible to edit the config to allow folks to choose the folder?
if this works, it is a configarable menu option that will work with any 3rd party app
all credit to you!!!!
hope you dont mind but have added the link to Slither's c++ cube thread

thanks for trying, this works as a seperate link but not through the cube??? for some reason it brings up Internet Explorer????
You can change the "url" of folder in config file, if you select for example start menu, than can you change folder tapping the top curtain. But you can go only in includes folder. I can't explain it, try it yourself
cheers man,
appreciate the work
thanks for your help

Is their a way to elaborate a bit further on this solution?? I have WA3 but no idea on how to use this?

Moving Icons in the Programs Menu

I've flashed several ROM's on my Kaiser & am currently attempting to build my own. My question is this......Is it possible to move icons around in the Programs menu? Specifically, I want to move the calculator icon from the Office mobile folder to the Utilities folder. I've searched & searched & searched for the solution with no success. I know it's possible because Dutty put it there, I know it can be moved. Thanks in advance for all youre help.
Try TotalCommander.
Go to: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\
Here you can move the .lnk files or create new folders to organize.
If you want to do this with the StartMenu go to:
\Windows\Start Menu\
Good luck!
Sweet, thanks mccune. Works great.
No problem mate That's why we're here!

shouldn't this be in a kaiser forum ?
well, if you wanted to cook a ROM, and you wanted to have the calculator in the Utilities folder as soon as you flash the ROM, I would go to C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat. NOTE: you need to be able to see hidden files and system files. Open initflashfiles.dat with Notepad, click on Edit > Find... > Search for Calculator.lnk, and it should show you a line that says something like this:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office"):-File("Calculator.lnk","\Windows\calc.lnk")
Just change that line to this:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Utilities"):-File("Calculator.lnk","\Windows\calc.lnk")
save it, and you're done
now, as soon after you flash the ROM, Calculator should already be in Utilities!
Good luck cooking
Also try SASHIMI (see my sig) for a more elaborate and comprehensive process using the Customlinks menu...

Where is the contacts.exe or similar?

Hi Folks,
i want to rename and replace the right softkey (currently used for Programms)
I want to change it into a shortcut to Contacts, but i can´t find the contacts.exe or similar to write the right path into the registry
Could someone help me please?
You do it by pointing to the contact.lnk file in your start menu directory. If you wonder which program that links to , look at the property.
By using resco Explorer with enabled Data-endings i´ve found it in: \windows\Startmenü\Kontake.lnk
Thx for your help.....

Control panel exe/lnk?

Can someone upload the .exe files for all the settings located in the start menu? Or can anyone tell me the registry name for each of the settings like ctplmain--- I have already tried control panel to exe but for some reason, it crashes when creating the exes for most of the settings. Thanks
