Does anyone know which application is used to the "Programs" option in the start menu?
I want a shortcut on my today page, but linking to the \Start Menu\Programs links to file explorer, rather then the programs option in the start menu.
Help!
Is it possible to map the Startmenu programs window to the left softkey?
I'd like to access the programs window by one key press.
To put it anotherway, can somebody tell me what shortcut can opens the programs window or the settings window?
Pressing ok on the today screen will open up the startmenu .. in case you didnt knew .. otherwise .. the bottom window key can do the same ..

I knew that. I was talking about one-button-press access to the Programs window, and not to the Startmenu.
So I'd like to open the programs window by pushing the left soft key.
Then use WM5NewMenu to create a new menu containing all your programs .. then use the left softkey to launch that new menu ..

Thanks, but it'd be too much. I use almost all of the programs. I've sorted them into sub folters, it looks like almost a "normal" phone menu system.
And that's why I'd like to access them by one key...
Anybody? else?

Use Resco Explorer and browse to windows-start menu and highlight the programs folder, tap menu and choose 'create shortcut in start menu' then after closing down Resco go to settings and choose 'soft key' in there, choose program. works for me! Also if when using Resco you goto menu and choose large icons in the 'view' sub menu, the layout will look very similar to the view when opening up programs the original way. Hope this helps!

Thanks! You are beating about the bush!
It's almost that I wanted, but it runs the Resco Explorer, and the Resco is showing the programs folder.
The result is not bad, but starting the Resco takes more time, and more memory than the "normal" programs window
Somewhere I saw some *.cpl file (or what), in a shortcut that opened the settings window. I thought there is a similar solution to the programs folder too. So i'd like to know what should contains my .lnk file, that runs the normal programs window.
Any solution for this???
Thanks

I also want to know how to map the "Programs" to the softkey!! And it seem no one know the answer!! and the path to show the "Programs" in icon is not just a simple .lnk
Hi,
I'm looking to create a link (.lnk) or another way to bring up the "Program", "Settings" & any other directory of .lnk files so that the programs appear in their selectable icon display format just as they do when brought up using the start button. Any ideas?
Hey guys,
I "installed" quickmenu, works great except when I want to go to Settings it states "empty". So I have to "uninstall" to get through the original startmenu to settings.
Does anyone know how I can get to settings with Quickmenu??
That's probably because your windows isn't English. I have the same problem in Polish version.
You can either tap and hold the windows logo (if you haven't disabled this option - i did), so that the classic menu shows up, or go to quickmenu options, then to commands tab. look for an entry named settings, select it and press "Create shortcut". Then place the newly created shortcut in your /windows/menu start/settings (or equivalent path in your language). Now, when you open the steeings section in quichmenu, you'll have only that shortcut in there. When you press it, another menu, this one containing actual settings will pop up.
I like the second way much more, since settings appear in a cascadable menu, not in the standard fullscreen window manner.
or go to /windows/starmenu and create there a folder called "Settings"
you will have then one empty settings folder in you native language and another working one in english
Thanks, works great..
Is there a way to change how the start menu looks? I feel that the stock start menu is too messy and cluttery. I like my stuff sorted.
Do you mean windows default or HTC default start screen? I am also looking for windows start menu setup...
There are apps to edit the start menu, or you can do it yourself quiet simply.
In \windows\start menu\programs you'll find all the shortcuts. Just create relevant folders in there and move the shortcuts into them.
