I'm looking for a way to change the - "Programs" and "Settings" on the Start menu on the PPC, I would like to change the text but I can't find where it is stored, I've looked in any file \ DB \ Reg key... anything that I thought of but I couldn't find where it is stored, anyone has ANY idea how \ where I can find it?
No one from the experts know how?
I don't think you can change them, as of them being hard-coded into the binaries! You can't even change the folder names of the \WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS or \WINDOWS\START MENU\SETTINGS !! :!:
thats what my messing also showed
i could put a new dir in the menu if i made a dir in the
start menu dir in windows but it would not get the
right icon and i could not rename the programs dir
Maybe it's possible, when you cook your own rom. The Folder is created in the initobj.txt - File.
But i never tried it......

I was looking at the prog - ProgramMenuPlus and it changes the Start menu, I think it uses hook of some kind to the start button event ?! could it be the way?
run a program when the phone first starts up?
To be as short as you with your question:
WINDOWS > AUTOSTART
add shortcut or executable
well let me b a little more long winded so i can get a more specific answer...i want to take a program and automatically have it run whenever i turn on the phone...which would in-tern..make my life much easier...what would be the way for me to do such a thing...thank you in advance...i would appreeciate it
Yep, my answer is still the same:
Add a shortcut of that particular program to the WINDOWS AutoStart folder. You might have a shortcut for the program you want to run at startup in your START MENU ??? Open FILE EXPLORER (or similar applications), navigate to: C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and copy the shortcut. Now navigate to C:\Windows\AutoStart and paste the shortcut there.

I'm confused. On my Apache, you place a shortcut to the program you want to run in "\Windows\Startup" I use Total Commander to make the shortcut, but there are other ways. Isn't the MDA the same?
It depends on your ROM version too!
If you do not have an AUTOSTART folder but a STARTUP folder then you have to put it in there! On my MDA it is called AUTOSTART
I installed TomTom any want it to go into the GPS FOLDER, how the HELL do i get it there?!?!?!
Well I just use file explorer to move or make shortcuts, depending on what you want to do you either select the exe file in file explorer, then go edit copy. Go to the folder where you want the shortcut then go edit paste shortcut. If you want to move a shortcut you just cut it and paste it into the desired folder.
There also is a nice app called reSTART that you could use to move shortcuts.
Hello all, it may be a stupid question, I'm new to WinMo (moving from Symbian) but how I can create folders in Start Menu list (WM 6.5) and move installed applications to these folders ?

Hi Muntos!
The easiest way is to connect your device to the PC via activesync. Then click on "Explore" and copy your programmes and paste a shortcut in the windows/start menu folder. Don't put the actual programmes in the windows/start menu folder.
An alternative way would be to do it on your Diamond 2 using the file explorer. Use your stylus to press and hold the programme, then it comes up with a menu. Press "copy". Then using the file explorer, navigate to Windows/Start Menu folder and then press and hold the stylus in a blank part of the screen. Again, a pop-up menu will appear and you select "paste shortcut".
Total Commander PPC
Hi all
Total Commander for PPC is a very useful tool for this exercise. In particular it has a function to "Hide files in ROM". This allows the Windows folder to load in a fraction of the time but won't hide any of your start menu shortcuts.
You need to navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\XX where XX is the folder you want to edit/populate. If you want a folder to appear on the start menu itself, e.g. Games then create this directory:
\Windows\Start Menu\Games

Thank you guys, you made it very clear !
If you mentioned Total Commander, have you found a solution to the freezing problem when accesing Show\Directory hotlist ?
Hiii,
Is it possible to remove icons from the start menu?? And is it possible to copy an exe file (or other sort of file) to your start menu?? Because I have installed a program but it won't open from the Start menu, only when I go through explorer and then open the exe file it works.
Using a file explorer navigate to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs and delete the .lnk shortcuts you want to remove. Similarly copy and 'paste shortcut' anything you want to appear in the start menu. Don't place .exe files here, only .lnk shortcuts.
ok thanks!
