i've searched and can only find the contacts.lnk...
what exe does the contacts shortcut point to? i am stuck...
i am remapping my right soft key back to pocket outlook contacts using tweaks2k and need to find the location of the exe... my work installed goodlink and goodlink contacts overwrote the soft key but i hate using goodlink's contact interface...
any help would be great...
thanks...

I have Goodlink 4.8 on my MDA. For some reason 'Contacts' in my Pocket Outlook is now pointing to my Good Contacts file, instead of the Pocket Outlook contacts. The Calendar, Tasks, Messaging go to the right files, instead of the Good equivalents. Is there a registry entry or something that I could edit to point Pocket Outlook back to its Contact information?
Basically, I want to be able to edit the Pocket Outlook contacts. I use them principally because that is where Voice Command and voice tags search.
I wonder if someone without Goodlink installed could tell me where their \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Pocket Outlook\Contacts.lnk points to.
Goodlink changes this to its own file and I'm trying to change it back.
I am running Goodlink 4.9.1.46
I am using POutlook Contacts in conjuction with Goodlink. Much better implementation that Goodlink contacts.
My shortcut has a defined target of :
poutlook.exe contacts
Thanks. That target doesn't cause anything to run when I use it, so I think Goodlink has messed with something else as well. I'm going to see what is involved in upgrading to 4.9, since you are successfully doing exactly what I want to achieve.

Let me look some more. There might have been a reg tweak also. It has been awhile since I set this up.
Thankfully, Goodlink for me will be going away soon in favor of corp push!

CRAP! Mine reverted to Goodlink for some reason today!
I have a buddy at work that has the original contacts.lnk. I am going to try his and see what happens. If they work, I'll let you know.

Found a solution.
Get Total Commander.
Go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Pocket Outlook in TCM
Copy\Move Tasks.lnk to Contact.lnk
Hold down on the new Contacts.lnk and select properties.
Go to the Shortcut tab and change poutlook.exe tasks to poutlook.exe contacts then click ok.
with Contacts.lnk still selected, open notpad and change MSTASKS to MS CONTACTS and the last set of digits to -10000
This should restore use of Poutlook contacts when you open from home screen or Start/Programs/Pocket Outlook/Contacts.
I have not found out how to change the soft key contacts from Goodlink Contacts to Pocket Outlook contacts yet.
Tried this but it didn't work for me. Interestingly, everytime I clicked the icon (which started Goodlink Contacts), it changed the .lnk target back to Goodlink!

Strange. The reason I had to figure how to change mine back was theat, for some reason, the links went back to Goodlink. Guess we'll se how long mine lasts this time. Had been working for months being able to access Pocket Outllok version of contacts.
Sorry.
My old solution
I used to use this solution, but i've ditched goodlink for DirectPush.
If you navigate in the registry to
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\
you can modify the string of one of the hardware keys to
"\Windows\poutlook.exe" contacts
That will launch Pocket Outlook Contacts. I have used my voice command key because i never use voice command.
Alternatively, you could create a shortcut that passes the argument -contacts when it executes poutlook.exe.
I hope that helps!
That worked! Thanks.
So strange....
Workaround to Change back to Pocket Outlook settings after installing Goodlink email
Workaround to Change back to your original Pocket Outlook settings after installing GoodLink email
1. Rename the files in attached images ( as I have renamed the files by prepending 1 in both "Mydevice\Program Files\GoodLink" and "Mydevice\Windows" ). This will allow you to use Pocketoutlook contacts as main contacts instead of goodlink contacts app. This change doesn’t impact the installed goodconacts application.
2. Change below settings to send sms directly by selecting a contact in Pocket Outllook. This workaround goes directly to Mobile SMS instead of GoodEmail.
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS\1 = GoodEmail.exe
Change to 1 = tmail.exe
3. Change below settings to have your Main Menu go directly to Pockect Contacts instead of Good Contacts.
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS\ 1 = GoodContacts.exe
Change to 1 = :MSPOUTLOOK contacts
Enjoy Pocket Outlook,

is there a registry tweak for hiding those e-mail contacts from the original contact manager (i wanna use icontacts in addition to pcm)?
thanks in advance
Hi,
I have a problem with my topaz, i recently deleted all of my contacts and syncronized via activesync all contacts to the phone again. My problem is every time i recieve a call or sms, the sms in Touchflo 3D doesn't recognize the number as being from one of my contacts.
Funny thing is, i can go into the contact and view the SMS history from there, and then it finds the sms.
I hope somebody can help me.
I use a standard Windows Mobile 6.1
i guess, probably you have duplicate contacts during the sync. try to find the contacts was not recongized from incoming call if this is duplicated. hope this helps!
I had the same problem and managed to fix it..
1. open file explorer and go to root(internal memory)
2. rename pim.vol to xxxxxx.vol (all your contacts and calendar entries are saved to this file)
3. now all your contacts and calendar entries should have gone..now resync with activesync
4. softreset..and all should work fine (at least it worked out for me)
hope this helps..
Wow. Thanks. I had this problem too.
So did it work?

I must admit, i never got to it. I installed a custom rom instead ;-) But thanks a million for the help anyways.
I would like to find a contact's program which will sort the contacts by first name first, any ideas
Cheers
