JAMin Startup

I have deleted all links in Startup directory
Can someone post the list of orignal links?
I can remember: sddaemon, wifi_init, simconfigurator...
Thanks
Tronky

There are the ones I have:
CapNotify.lnk
CommLoader.exe (think this is for Pocket Controller)
Init_Tray.lnk
poutlook.lnk
sddaemon.lnk

what does the
sddaemon.exec do?
my Singapore Dopod818[prophet] doesnt have this...
just curious...

launches Speed dail. You do not need this in the start-up folder, as it is started as soon as you enter into the phone mode.

Customize HTC EndKey??

Hey there,
I'm owning a variant of HTC Nike at the moment, where HTC EndKey is preinstalled in the ROM. Right now it is assigned to lock the device. This is nice, but since this device sports a biotouch display it would be even nicer if this long press would invoke Slide2Unlock2.
The long press starts EndKey.exe. But since this is a protected file, i cannot simply replace this.
Does anybody know a way to or replace EndKey.exe (without customizing the rom and flash it) OR invoke an other executable by HTC Endkey.
Thanks in andvance
Holger

I managed to overwrite the endkey.exe with resco explorer ... very nice.

Hi is there a way to uninstall Endkey?
because after Unsinstall there is a message, that it coult not be uninstalled correctly and if I want to delet it from the Uninstall-list.
But the Button at the Homescreen is still endkey and not Contacts as normal.
P.S sorry for my terrible english

Overwrite endkey.exe

What did you overwrite it with?
Did you just take another program and rename it "endkey.exe" and then copy it into \Windows ?
And if endkey.exe just takes over the right soft key, there are other ways to remap the right softkey, e.g. DotFred's SoftKeyKeyAppletEx.cpl.

Uninstall Endkey

Hmmm - I just installed Endkey and then went to Remove Programs and it removed fine for me (on Tilt). Did you try doing Soft Reset to see if it goes away then?

how can I recover start menu

Incidentally I have deleted both folders (programs) in Start menu folder
What would be the easiest way to recover all shortcuts (without reinstalling ROM again)?

What ROM are you on?

Rom - 1.66.405.2 (76641) wwe

Here you go mate. It's the program folder (from \windows\start menu\) zipped up.
Now be careful with it in future lol

Thank you
I can now add programs to quick links, but I still can't see anything inside start menu

Bizarre. Have you restarted since copying the shortcuts? (I don't actually believe that it will help, but it may)

I have restarted, it didn't help
There was another folder inside start menu (beside programs).
I am missing that one too Could you send me this one too, please

The settings folder is empty for everyone, that's why I just gave you the programs folder. It's thrown me that you can't see anything in your start menu, even though you can add quicklinks. Maybe a hard reset is called for. That will definitely fix it, but it's obviously a pain.

I'll play a bit with [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start]

Hi there, just go to file explorer and open the windows directry folder, then locate start menu folder > programs > games
then locate the sortcuts and delete them.
Should be gone

The Start Menu folder is in the Windows folder.

and also check the option to show hidden files

You said you removed these when you had the phone connected to your PC. I don't get that. Did you not go to "Remove programs" in the settings menu?

You'd be better off reinstalling them, then removing them through
Settings -> Application -> Remove Programs
All you've done is remove the files, so the HD2 still thinks they are installed.

In that case, try removing them through
Settings -> Application -> Remove Programs
anyway.
It'll probably bring up errors, but it might work.

they are not even there lol...

In that case, its a series of registry entries you'll need to remove.
You'll need a registry editor installed on your HD2.
I use TotalCommander (there are loads out there, like Resco etc)
TotalCommander registry tool instruction + download link
Then open TotalCommander go to:
\\Plugins -> registry -> HKLM -> Security -> Shell -> StartInfo -> Start
I'm guessing the icons are in the Games folder, so go in there.
You'll have a file named Ferrari (or something similar) -> delete these.
Once you have done that, press the ' \ ' button in the top-right of the TotalCommander window.
Now go into:
\\Plugins -> registry -> HKLM -> Software
You should find a folder in there which is named after the program or the software house who made the game. *Double check* this is the folder which is to do with the game, and delete it.

i found it and its all gone!! thank you for your help.

I've edited my post above as there is another step at the bottom to pretty much finish removal.

Help with deleting

Sometimes when i remove a program the picture of the program still stays in the start menu... How would i get rid off that???

you're probably seeing the shortcut. if you have total commander (or any other file explorer that would allow deleting a shortcut), navigate to the proper folder and delete it. you should be fine afterward. hope this helps =)
