In the applications section of HTC Home, I deleted the Comm Manager once upon a time, but now I'd like to add it back. Unfortunately, it's not in the list of programs you can add (probably because it's in "Settings," not "Programs").
Anyone know how to stick it back in? Probably a registry setting?
Wow, never mind, I figured it out.
The program is at \Windows\CommManager.exe, so I made a shortcut to it in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Then HTC Home was able to list it for the launcher.

Is there a way to set my (hold) mail button or (hold) voice button to a comm manager button? I tried to set it as a tab in HTC Home but, when I go to add it it doesn't show up under programs? As anyone figured this out. I really like to just use a button to turn on my wifi instead of navigate around in start menu.
Thanks for your time.
my Button 5 is set to Comm manager and it works perfectly, i have it on my list, check again
Yeah, I've looked through and through the list for setting the buttons and I can't find comm mananger? I wonder if there is some way of adding it to the list?
Normally if u add a shortcut to Windows/Start Menu/Programs u should be able to select it
thanks. that sounds like it might work.
How to I add a shortcut to programs though?
if u have a program like Total Commander you can go to \Windows\CommManager.exe
then go to File >>>>>> (A) > Create Shortcut and put the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Hope that helps, GL

Awesome. Yeah. I used Total Commander. I went and found the .lnk file for comm manager and copied it into the windows folder that had all the other programs in it. Then it worked. I should of thought of this. For some reason I spaced it. Thanks for your help.
I swear I saw Comm Manager in the Programs folder.
Apparently today, it seems to have disappeared.
When I go to Start -> Programs, the Comm Manager icon is missing.
It is also missing when I try to choose it in the HTC today where you can select from 8 icons as short cuts.
Any hints on how I can get it back in the programs folder?
Thanks
Create a shortcut to the exe and put it in windows/start menu/programs to have it back both in the program folder than in the today apps
Hi There,
If you ever used the "Close Button" plug-in from Spb Mobile Plus you prolly know what I mean...
The HTC Taskmanager looks all nice, I like it, but its only accessible on the Today Screen. Is there a way to make it accessible even when you're not on the today screen?
Sometimes when you're doing stuff you want to "alt-tab" to another program and this is an easy way to do it, or when you want to close another/all other programs.
I hope there's a solution because it really is an improvement to the taskmanager.
me too
sorry, no help here. I can only say "me too". I was actually just thinking about this today. I've had this phone for a few months, and it just today occurred to mr today that you can't close other open programs without going back to the today screen, only option is to "x" button back to today screen or hope that what you seek to close is in your start menu under 'recent items'.
any help or development would be super appreciated, thanks all.
There is a shortcut in the Settings folder in the Systems tab. However, I expect you don't want to go through all of that when you want to use it. As an alternative, you could use file explorer and go into the Windows folder, find the Task Manager program in there, copy it and past a shortcut in the Windows/Start Menu folder. Then it would be on your Start Menu. You would need to remove one other item if you were then over the allowed maximum number of items in there.
Is that accessible enough?
I'd rather not put it in my start menu cus there are other "important" shortcuts in there...
I'd rather have it in the upper right corner...
You could use WkTask
the best free taskmanager there is (not working on wm6.5)

Click to expand...

I tried it and I like it, Is there a way to make a backup of my settings?
It seems the program doesnt work as i wished it would. I worked with it for a while and I like the concept alot, but there's a major flaw. Sometimes when I make adjustments to, lets say, my alarm settings (winmo clock/alarms setings), and when I press [ok] the window minimizes (I set the one click to minimize), there's no way you can apply the changes because it will keep on running on the background. If I choose to close it then the changes wont apply. This occurs to many other programs I use in simular occasions when you need to press [ok] to apply settings.
I would still have a solution to the HTC taskbar though. I think I would prefer it over the WkTask taskmanager.
I Installed Resco File explorer and when trying to add registry add in it tried to install a theme file (.tsk) which opened the today management screen (where you can select different themes and select whats on the desktop.
Click the desktop tab (whats displayed on homescreen) and deselect HTC Sense then just tick what you want. At the top is the default windows mobile 6.5 homescreen plugin then all the program addons follow like co-pilot, mail, calendar etc then htc sense. Just choose your flavor..
I'm working at the moment but I'll try and elaborate more later, need to find a screenshot app first for pics.
Put any .tsk file on phone and run from explorer (Resco or otherwise) and the theme screen will show, select your pref (note you can not have HTC SENSE, Windows 6.5 Plugin enabled together, but plugins like calendar etc can without the aforementioned.
Hope this helps someone. (All HTC themed menu's n progs get disabled on deselecting HTC Sense but return on reselecting).

Or... click on Start/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Today/Items to access the menu you are talking about.
Sorry, have seen loads of people ask about this. Only had my phone around 4 hours. Just trying to help and do my bit. Mods you can close this thread. Sorry once again.
Hey, don't take it so personally! I wasn't putting you down in any way.
Keep posting what you find, I'm sure there is plenty more to discover with this phone.
Thanks mate.
Really loving it. Hope to contribute more once fully dissected. lol..
How can I get the "HTC People" shortcut back as I like direct access to that rather than through the tabs!
And most of the custom ROMs I have tried have removed the people shortcut!
Is there someway to create a shortcut? Thanks.
Some ROM Chefs remove the HTC shortcuts (such as HTC Messages etc) If you want to enable them again, grab a registry editor such as resco registry editor (Trial should do fine ) And go here once you've got your program:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila
In here there is a key " IsShortcutEnable " Change the value from 0 to 1
Hope I helped!
I did that and restarted the phone and it popped up!
Thanks ever so much!
As this topic has come up.. I deleted mine from the start menu accidently. I have HTC music/messages. Need to restore People please
Doing what was already suggested will bring back whatever is missing so it is as "standard"
