I have installed the current version on WKTask and am having a small issue. When using the on screen "X" programs close as expected however when using either of the hardware OK buttons the programs minimize. I have been unsuccessful in finding a solution through searching the forum and on google. Can any one provide any addition insight on this?
TIA,
Mark

I put smartskey and omap onto my mda...it wasn't working properly so I uninstalled it....
there are no visible signs of the programs on my device but everytime my device wakes up or powers on i get this:
Notification Error
Cannot execute "windows/start/menu/newfoldr/smarskey.exe"
then behind it i get
Notification Error
Cannot execute "smartskey/snartskey.exe"
I just want this to be off of my device since it has been so much trouble. Can someone please help me figure out how to get rid of this without having to do a hard reset?
\windows\startup
remove it from there...
and also remove the smartskey folder where you installed it from...
i did that...nm i ended up doing a hard reset. I deleted the program and folder...there were no visible traces...idk what happened
I had this problem too. Extremely frustrating especially since I had removed all traces (so I thought) of smartskey.
Turns out, Smartskey leaves behind a notification message that gets queued up even if you remove the program and it's shortcut from the startup menu. You need a program like MemMaid to clear the notification message.
Annoying Smartskey issue, PLEASE help

I also have this problem on a Wizard and a Prophet. Even though you remove 'all traces' of Smartskey it keeps coming up wuth the queued notification message. Does anyone have a fix for this?
I tried using MemMaid demo about a week ago but it wouldn't install on the Wizard. I might try it on the Prophet. Can anyone confirm that if I buy the full MemMaid software it will remove this annoying issue i.e. does it run & install on WM5 XDA's?

MemMaid is WM5 compatible. I use it on my Wizard without problem.
EDIT:
Re uninstalling smartskey - I thought there was a specific way to uninstall it mentioned in the smartskey thread? Does this not work?

Just tried MemMaid (demo) on the Prophet. It cleared the problem straight away. Went back to the Wizard and MemMaid also worked on that, both machines now clean of the Smartskey notification message. Now that I know how to remove the message I might play around with Smartskey some more. The Smartskey concept is quite good but it seems to interface badly with Omapclock (might just be Microsoft's buggy notification software).
MemMaid also looks a good utility for $15. I think originally I might have been trying to run the MemMaid (installation) exe from the Wizard rather than installing over ActiveSync.
hi, i use smartskey and omap together and they both work beautifully with each other, my device is quicker thanks to omap clock and the wizard is excellent as a one handed device thanks to the shortcuts it creates just like the prophet device where it creates ur soft keys to be the start button and OK button as well.....its like having 2 extra keys just like the prophet.......you can also use the software Check Notifications 1.9 by ScaryBearSoftware to get rid of the smartskey.exe from the notifications queue......
MemMaid v. Smartskey
I installed Smartskey, and it was unhappy. Then the bloody "Notification Error..." started popping up consistantly.
Reinstalled Smartskey, no help.
Uninstalled, No Help.
Looked it up here, Installed MemMaid
Problem Solved.
BTW- Reinstalled Smartskey and OmapClock and they work wonderfully. My initial eror was installing to the SD Card and not main memory.
Thanks for the fix.
Hi guys, really informative website, been using it for a long while, but so far never needed to make a post. here is my problem. I am currently using o2 xda exec's for my business, but need to lock down some of the pda's functions and controls. I am currently using mobicontrol (can anyone else recommend a better "lockdown" program), it works sufficiently well but there are a couple of security loops i've noticed. On the keyboard the bindings for the outlook, i.e and wireless manager are still active. I've had a little look around the registry settings to see if i can disable the key mappings but so far i havent had any luck. I was wondering if it would be possible to disable these buttons, seeing as these are the only way to circumvent the mobicontrol lock down program.
your help would be much appreciated,
thanks,
Nick
hi,
I want to make my app realy exit when user taps on the x button in the upper-right area of the screen, so what msg should I handle to do this?
I am using MFC eVC++ 4.0
Thanks
Mohammad
I don't remember the exact link right now, but on the same site I gave you before (www.pocketpcdn.com) there is an article about handling "smart minimize".
Just do a search.
there is already a program out there called wclose.exe when you hit the x it will ask you if you want to close, if you choose yes it shuts it down, if you choose no it just minimizes it
and there are plenty of other programs, but I don't remember their names.
I however remember that Wisbar Advance and SPB Pocket Plus has them
There's also MagickButton, but mohgdeisat is looking to incorporate this functionality in to a program he is writing, not to use a 3rd party app.
By the way, here is the link to the article:
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/close_app.html
Thanks guys,
I got the topic and I am reading it, hope it works.
and a special thank you for levenum
Mohammad
be careful using such applications on some programs
not sure if it's the case with wm2005 but with 2003
closing outlook that way just after a sms would sendt
would result in a stuck sms icon and 2 sms's sendt
A anyone got link for wclose i cant seem to find it anywhere :?
Thanks
MagicButton or wclose?
Which is better MagicButton or wclose? I am using MB but sometimes it kind of makes prog go in a loop they don't shut down keep popping up. This is happening after the ROM upgrade... any help on which is the best prog for close app jobs?
wclose.exe

look at the third post from the top...
I use Vbar on my Magician and it just works very well.
Can't remember where I got it from so here it is :-
Hey, I know everyone seems to like the HTC Task Manager 2.x alot, but I don't. I've gotten used to using a program called vBar and I like it a lot better because it allows you to click next to where the X or 'ok' would be and change programs. With HTC's version you seem to have to navigate back to the today screen to accomplish this.
So:
1) How do you disable HTC Task Manager 2.1 from starting up with the device (also it would be helpful if anyone knows of an easy way or program to look at all of the start up programs on the device)
2) OR if someone can help me see how to make HTC Task Manager act like vBar.
Thanks,
Joshua
P.S. Sorry if this is a re-post, I searched first.
P.S.S. I think Fuze topics go with Diamond, if not please feel free to move it for me.
Hi everyone,
I have a stange problem with my WM taskmanager. I've set it up to close programs by tapping the x button. Since a day or twothe x-button doe not do what he's suppose to do. After tapping the x, programs like explorer, messages and the like do not shutdown anymore and have to be stopped manually. Programs that have the exit or shutdown probability doe not suffer from this issue, only programs with no exit feature.
Does anyone have a solution for this strange behaviour?
thanks in advance, Kuzibri
Hi, no one??? A search on the internet did nor help me at all, so you people at XDA are my hope!! Of course can I run Memmaid to close all running programs, but I do not like it when something does not do what it is supposed to do.
regards, Kuzibri
