Haya guys and or galls...
I'm trying to edit the icons of the shortcuts in my start menu.
I want to use this, so that I can use the Icons of programs like tomtom to startup via the overclock tool....
But now, sice the shortcut starts with the omapclock tool, the icon is the same as the tool...
Also, there is an app called flitsnav, which also launches Tomtom, and I want to use the tomtom icon rof this shortcut...
I can't seem to find the solution in this forum anywhere, but maybe I looked over it in my search..
Can someone help me???

hmmm
okay..tnx for the advice..
Although I'm not really sure what all that means ou guys wrote there..
No easier way? just to change the icon of a .exe?
Anyway thanks..
p50kombi: if you want to change the icon for the executable, which you don't (since you want to change icons for shortcuts), you would use a resource editor on your PC. That's not too easy, but it's doable.
Using custom icons on shortcuts on the PDA is not difficult.
Basically, copy this into notepad, and call it VJMail.lnk
Code:
38#\windows\tmail.exe?\windows\DIM.exe,0
38
- Ignore this (it's the length of everything after #)
\windows\tmail.exe
- this is the app you want to launch
?\windows\DIM.exe,0
- this is the icon it should show instead of its default one
- it means, take the first (ie 0th) icon in \windows\dim.exe as the icon
It's not hard. This is just an example. Use your own programs etc of course.

i'll try it right away..
Thanks VJ!!!!
It worked!!!!
Thanks VJ.....
It wasn't that hard afterall indeed!!!
Anyone got any way of extending the backlight of the keyboard allready?
I already know how to remove the standard icons like the comm manager and the batery icon from the system tray on the bottom of the today screen. But now I have AE Button Plus installed and this program comes with a icon in the tray wich I don't know how to remove.
I also want to add some programs to the tray but I don't know how to do this either.
Is there a program or something with wich you can easely manage these icons?
Please help me out!
Must search!
To add icons to tray, use PHM TrayLaunch or I think SPB has some apps to do the same. I have one, VJTrayLaunch, but it's not recommended over the others.

Try i Launcher from sbsh. That will let you add any icons on the system tray you want plus all your battery , memory and program info on your today screen. Also has a handy task manager incorporated into the program too. You will have to pay for it after a trial run but a great utility.
Hope this helps

Looks like this program is an exact copy of spb pocket plus wich i already have. So thanks for the tip, but it's not the kind of software where i was looking for.

Hi V,
PHM TrayLaunch was ok. That's what i was looking for. Thanks!
Now I only still need to figure out how to get rid of the ae button icon in the tray. ..
Hi all,
I tried to install the PHM TrayLaunch on my TyTN, but Activesync doesn't display it as being installed (I downloaded the Activesync .msi installer from the site). Any ideas on this?
Thanks

If it's not absolutely necessary to install that way why not download the cab file move it to sd card via AS explorer and tap on it using TyTn.

I would like to see the programs that are running down in the system tray on the today screen. You know, the place where you see your battery level and connection manager icons?
Is this possible via a registry hack that anyone knows of?

There are registry tweaks for standard items like battery, clock and so on but AFAIK not ones for all running programmes. There are tons of freeware task manager apps that place running progs in task bar and probably the tray as well. Magic Button for example - but it shows in task bar.
Mike
u dont need registry twaeks!!
use some extrernal file explorer.
go to the windows folder and find the power tray file copy paste in the startup folder
soft reset is ready.
now.. about the today screen for the try programs try the "true toolbars" is the best ftask manager!!

Actually this so-called fix does not work. If you put the icon in the startup tray all it does is start the program at start up. So no, it does not put it on the tray.
Try again?
VJTrayLaunch
This is a command line application, and can be used to launch any program or shortcut.

TrayLnch only 47,9kb
is good for hermes
Can't believe people would pay $13 for this.
I made VJTrayLaunch, which is fine for one or two apps, but I recommend PHM Tray Launch 110%.

Greetings,
Here is a way from me, to make it possible, to customize your hardware buttons.
Step one:
Start the attached FDC Taskmanager, then tap <Menu>, <Options>, set enabled on "Create RegEdit Shortcut".
Now you can open the Regedit - Shortcut in Startmenu ( <Programs> - <System> ) and .reg - files will be associated with FDC-TM.
Now doubletap on the attached .reg - file, select importing.
Ready!
Restart the device!
Feature lost: Navipanel not start automatically, when you put the phone in carkit. Copy the Navipanel.lnk in Startmenu or lay it of the navigation-button.
Step two:
1. klick "Start"
2. klick "Settings"
3. klick "Hardware-Buttons"
4. customize

edit: when is it not easy enough, give me your adress and I will come to you and do it for you!
Thanx for the effort and for sharing Mirko!
I will definitely try it
bravo super boulot
Still starting
Hi!
I have succesfully created the two buttons in the control panel of the PDA and assigned them to right and left program key. And the work!
My problem is that the Tomtom and Footprint also start, which is a feature I would like to remove. I would much rather have them start the old fashion way, as this is a phone as a primary device.
Can anyone direct me to a solution. I would like to keep the programs installed but can as a last resort remove them if it helps (and if I can).

This problem occurs when you do not set the "NaviService" service to Manual and stop it. See the first post in this thread from Mirko, he explains it.
@ Snwstrm
U must read my post, stands:
"Now go with the FDC Taskmanager to "Services", stop "NaviService(NPS0)", long klick it, then change to "set manual". When you not do this, you have a double assignment on buttons."
Greetz Mirko
edit: Argh! Not seen, Evincar was almost answering, sorry!
No such service
Hi!
Thanks for a quick reply. I don't have FDC but Pocket Controller Pro as a task handling program and I cannot see any service that resembles the one U are talking about. My guess is that it differs depending on localization, but I will try to get a hold of FDC program to verify.
I tried to get help from HTC, but they couldn't help me. I guess they have some deal w TomTom and don't want to make it easy to switch or eradicate their program. They wrote to me about PocketToolman but it did nothing new, just a nifty way to access controlpanel.
Keep on looking,
Snwstrm
What about Google? FDC TM is freeware.
Greetz Mirko!
Victory!
You are absolutely right! I will have to contact SOTI regarding their software. FDC worked wonders and now I see no trace of TomTom or Footprint. Just the way I wanted.
Thanks!
Snwstrm
Nice, can help!
Thanks for this. I switched from Vox and I was quite angry, when I had to tap to top right to confirm something. Now footprint does this.

Import the attached REG-file with FDC Taskmanager or another program, that can use reg-files. Restart the device.

Mirko ,could you explain me more. I'm not good in registry edit,actually just started.
I've downloaded your attached file and already set it on my device but I don't under stand about your explanation.
1 "Copy the Navipanel.lnk in Startmenu or lay it of navigation-button." I don't where is the start menu in Registry and how to do it.
2 stop "NaviService(NPS0)", long klick it, then change to "set manual" that means
go to HKLM\service\NaviService and change value form default to 0???? and I don't understand about how to set manual could you explain me more.
Thank you very much

Nothing in registry, only with FDC Taskmanager and with the Button-Customizing in "Start"-"Settings"
Greetings Mirko

I confused about that but I use AE button plus to
customize the button.

Here is it!
Question about the reg-file:
Start FDC-TM, then <Menu>, <Options>, set enabled on "Create RegEdit Shortcut".
Now you can open the Regedit - Shortcut in <Programs> - <System> and .reg - files will be associated with FDC-TM.
When doubleclick on .reg - file, select importing.
