cheers for the assistance I tried that one, the link comes up as intrusted / unsigned
works fine as a direct link through programs , just not through the cube
any ideas?
First Go here then try here
no joy so far
tries shortcut creator, been through the lnk thread... again....
tried google...
there must be a way to shortcut to a specific folder???
if you read the actual 051 thread, slither discusses this many times and says it won't be available until 052
I think it involves passing a parameter to fileexplorer...
Look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2120755&postcount=140

create a link to your file explorer
tap and hold
select properties
add '-windows\start menu\games' to the end of the link so you should end up with something like
program files\file explorer.exe -windows\start menu\games
cheers for the help folks, still no go.
will have to see if slither can resolve in the next release

I got it wrong, no '-' before the address
"fexplore.exe" windows\start menu\programs\Games
exactly as above in the properties of any .LNK will do it

cheers mate but vust links to the 'my device' page on file explorer no matter what i do.
have looked into and edited folderview.exe so it should route to an alternative folder but the signature is not taking via msigner.
was thinking that this might be the 'simple' way but must be doing something wrong, was thinking set the shortcut to a generic option (ie Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Test) would give some flexibility (we could just add/rename folders in the program list
any idea what i am doing wrong on the resign?
edit: unsign/resign done will work on the edit to see if i can get this to work

Please try this It's part of Wisbar Advance 3, Start Panel. Files in folder my documents > my documents and exe put somewhere.
http://ike-dats.thez.info/public/startpanel.rar
If you have problems with startup (blank white page) and using wktask or programs like this, make exception to run always in background. Then to refresh list you must restart it.

Hi IkE Blaster, Spot on, works perfectly!!!! is it possible to edit the config to allow folks to choose the folder?
if this works, it is a configarable menu option that will work with any 3rd party app
all credit to you!!!!
hope you dont mind but have added the link to Slither's c++ cube thread
rename this .txt file to .LNK and you should have it

thanks for trying, this works as a seperate link but not through the cube??? for some reason it brings up Internet Explorer????
You can change the "url" of folder in config file, if you select for example start menu, than can you change folder tapping the top curtain. But you can go only in includes folder. I can't explain it, try it yourself
cheers man,
appreciate the work
thanks for your help

Is their a way to elaborate a bit further on this solution?? I have WA3 but no idea on how to use this?
for example: make thumbcal default calendar
thanks
Menu-Extras-Setting-Standard for Calendar
if you want a application be the default one it must be in Settings of this application, so just look there a little bit, seems to make more sense than open such threads By the way:
1. Did you read first tread for such questions ?
2. why dont you ask that in the thumbCal thread ?
3. The default Calendar thing has been asked a hundred times there, so it seems you even dont searchor read there ?
if you mean the left softkey too, search for "changing softkeys"
thank you
unfortunately the default app setting for this change in thumbcal does not work, thats why i spent two hours looking in different threads for a solution, the one hack that did work for somebody i couldnt duplicate because i dont know how to edit a system file (and i tried several different ways)
i did ask in that thread, but thot asking here would catch somebodys eye who either had a solution or something positive to contribute
i thot this forum was about sharing knowledge
if this post is really that out of line please delete it

try using total commander, you may have to remove the readonly or system attributes to the file through total commander, edit it (which you can also use total commander for) and then change the attributes back
thank you for responding!
this was one of the first things that i tried but i wanted to try it again before i replied
i can uncheck attributes of calendar.exe ie: read only and system but i cant uncheck "inROM" its greyed out
so when i hit ok read only and system revert back to checked
thanks again for trying to help, i appreciate it
works with manilla2D, so guess with more apps?

- make a backup of calendar.exe
- Rename vjbrisk.exe to calendar.exe
- make a LNK (shortcut) to your application and name it vjtarget.lnk
Place both files in your Windows directory (yes, overwrite calendar.exe)
I found this somewhere in the Manilla2D threads (don't know wich one anymore).
Good luck

Can't you just open up thumbcal and go to its menu option and select "Extras" followed by "Settings", then scroll down and pick/check "Set as default calendar"?
EDIT: Sorry just read post 2 who practically tells you to do the same, must have ignored it as I feel the post was a bit out of line. On the same note though, that was all I did and it seemed to work, that may be because I am using an Omnia at present.

Take the SSMaPa version. its customized also for manila2d.

[size=+0][18/11/2008] SSMaPa2D (Alpha) 0.2.2.1 (18/11/2008)[/size]
Hi guys,
simple Manila2D patcher -> SSMaPa2D version 0.2.2.1
this version is only for Manila2D devices! For Manila3D use this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2400995
please test it and let me know if there are bugs…
Patch options:
.) Replace Calender
.) Replace Mail
.) Replace Opera
.) Replace Camera
.) Time Click Man2d
.) Bluetooth Settings
Note: extended Init not possible at the moment. If someone facing UnauthorizedAccessException tell here.
How does it work ?
1.) Copy SSMaPa2D.exe to pda and start it.
2.) Press "Init"
3.) Under settings – click on description line what you want to change
4.) Then change the program what you want in fields below + click on "patch" + "save"
5.) Under deploy – click "Deploy".
After that you can exit the program.
If your files are signed, you're asked if you want to unsign them.
Please note, I didn't find a way to remove the signatures in a 'correct' way. I do an exe-based-deactivating. This is ok, as long as you don't want to resign them. If you want to resign them with your own certificate chose no and do it by hand.
Also I didn't have a manila2d testdevice... So it was a little bit difficult to test the application, but I had a motivator and beta tester
Thank you camel (camro)!
Please donate for me! I'm a apprentice and use a lot of my free time for working on the computer, to be able to create such tools.
[size=+2]Thank you [/size]

I like the idea of this, but I am having a problem. When I select a description to edit and then select the ..., although all folders is selected, not all of them are showing up. I am missing Program Files, Windows, etc. Looking forward to a fix for this.
this is a "file explorer" related problem.
ex:
1.) please check the link file of creating of a "new appointment" on thumbal folder in start menu with a file browser (ex: total commander resco explorer)
2.) copy the string from there then to m2d patcher . the same on paramter - i (have tested it) and it works
@sven - maybe you can post a screen shot of the gui on first posting.

I realize I can create the path manually or copying it from a link, but I would much rather be able to browse to the file I want and have the app create the path . I use Resco File Explorer, so getting the full path is no issue. Thanks.
It seems I can only assign the software in the storage card. Is there any way for me to assign the software in the main memory ?

you can copy the software the every location and you can start the software from every location.
if you need this very often - create a link to the exe and move it to your start menu folder - thats it

don't copy the whole path.
enter only the exepath, then do the arguments in argument box.
for example:
exe: \Interner Speicher\Programme\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe

Ok, I guess I can make you easier here. Download the attachment and unzip and copy inside 2 files (you should choose "show all files" option when using the file explorer) into \windows.
After that, go to Settings/System tab, then you should see "File dailog Changer". Enter the software, and choose the "Exchange Standard File Dialog, click "add". Now it should trigger the shield feature of file browser for SSMAPA2D now.
Now you can assign the software as you want by using SSMAPA2D.

just like to share with you how with those who need a command line for
"Settings" aka "Control Panel" and for
"Programs List" aka "Start Menu"
there have been apps like "control.exe" and "folderview.exe" which did the same but on my device (and os) it is not working anymore.
however, you need mortscript:
to launch "Settings" execute this command:
Code:
Show(FindWindow( "Settings", complete, yes, no, no, "MSSTARTMENU" ))
to launch "Start Menu" simply execute this command:
Code:
SendWin
i am sure it will be of help for those who create their own UI
Add this:
Launch "Programs":
Code:
Show("Pograms")
Launch "Settings" for WM5/6.0/6.1
Code:
Show(FindWindow( "", complete, yes, no, no, "Dialog" ))
Launch "Settings" for WM6.5
Why not use
Code:
Show("Settings")
since this window has a valid title.
is it possible to use the above command lines in an lnk file?

... because mortscript tries to find the "best" fitting window for your criteria. if you just provide "Settings" mortscript might also find another window named Settings.
but you are right it is not mandatory - just regard the other parameters as additional.

yes it is. just write path and name of the .mscr file in your .lnk file - just as you would do with .exe files

i do not know if the above code really works on wm6.1
but i warmly recommend to install total commander which can do all for you:
you can create a file, rename it to <name>.mscr
add the above script line - save and close
double tab on the script and it is being executed
if it works, control panel will appear
to create a shortcut: there is also a menu for creating shortcuts

however, you need v4.3 which is beta (but works perfectly stable). here. that's why you get error messages.

I've been looking for a way to re-start the 6.5 start menu for a few weeks now. I've been using Magic Button, and even when I put the start menu on the MB exclusive list, it still kills it occasionally when exiting. The 'sendwin' morscript doesn't revive it. Any ideas on a command that would? Thanks.

hm. not sure what the problem exactly is.
what do you mean by re-start start menu?
Well, with magic button you can actually kill the start menu. I believe it's part of a service, but haven't been able to track it down. For instance, I've used sk tools to save the list of running services, killed the start menu, then looked at the services and not seen any obvious changes (the same goes with processes). When the start menu is dead, it won't open up at all. I'd like to find out how to get it going again without resetting.

check it with dotfred's taskmanager and browse through the windows.
probably magic button closes this window.
Maybe the HoneyComb is shell32.exe, can you confirm?
And what is other side-effects without honeycomb?
Edit: I'm on the reverse side, want to kill it ! Just no device to test it ATM, but eager to know, also several weeks looking for this.
Just install magic button, it kills all!
Thanks Farmer Ted for the info, another lite tool added to my suitcase: MagicButton.
Just still curious to know what is exactly the WM6.5 Start Menu. (Edit: Check this tread for the start menu close issue.)

Folks,
I've done a search but can't find what i'm looking for. Basically, i'm looking to delete some words from the predictive dictionary that have ended up being added by mistake.
Does anyone know where I'll find the dictionary file on the phone.
Thanks
Bump....Anyone???
Unzip and copy this .exe to your phone and you can edit/delete words in your T9 mate!
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
It's great! I got the same problem and now can slove it with this tool. Many thanks!
Actually, this program should already be on your Topaz, in Windows - so you can just run it (use File Explorer to find it) and delete any words you wish.
