iLauncher can do this. Purchase that program, or use the one helterskelter mentioned (i never heard of that program:S)
Hi...
"PHM tray launch" is the tool...once installed...do the following:
1-using file explorer,unhide all files,then goto windows/start menu/programs,then u will find shortcuts to all ur programs....
2-click on "PHM tray launch",check Enable traylaunch,then click on add button at the buttom,and in the target window,enter the path of the program u want to add to tray,ex:if u want to add internet explorer,check it in step 1,then enter the path as follows:
windows/start menu/Internet Explorer.lnk,then u'll find it's icon in then list,and naturally in the tray... :wink:
note that u can add programs as much as u like,u can even fill ur tray and keep adding,they will appear in landscape mode..
Good luck...

On my XDA mini, I had the convenient little icon in the tray (at the bottom of today screen) that was a shortcut to the running programs box in the settings menu.
How do I enable this on the Wizard? I don't want to have to install a whole task manager program, when the one built in works just fine. I just need to get to it easier.
try WM5NewMenu by saman, where you can set a shortcut for this particular setting, among others, through any of the softkeys or the buttons. it's a drop-down menu list, though, not an icon.

Thanks, PHM tray is closest to what I was looking for, but is it windows mobile 2003 only?
I really would just like to have that little icon that goes to the memory screen back. The Magician had this, and I think other models do too.
This is the solution
Create a shortcut that has the following contents
44#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2?deviceinfo.exe,-103
You can do this by creating a shortcut to any program, then using activesync explorer to find it, copy it, and paste it on the desktop, open it with Notepad, and edit it. Start with a PPC shortcut so that it in the right character set.
Then return it to a folder on the PPC and put it in PHM Traylaunch. It gives you one touch access to the Settings/Memory program. The part after the ? controls the visual icon.
thanks! I'll try this...
though, I am sure this must be possible through some sort of registry setting...
I am digging through my EXTROM on my old XDA mini to see if I can find out
after all this, I just resorted to putting the shortcut in my start menu... it'll do for me I guess... :?
I've attached the link for those who want it.
I like things to be simple. No extra software to install, no complicated settings. Just click it and done!
thanks for all your help guys
Guys
What are the softkey settings for the Phone Dialer and Contacts? Basically, I want the left softkey to be the phone dialer and the right one to be the contacts on the today screen.
How do I do this using the SoftKey applet?
JoKer
Start reading this from post seven...
Please tell me again how does that help me .. I have already downloaded and installed this app as specified in this thread ..
But I cant find the location to the phone dialer and contact programs .. So, I am not able to set them up correctly ..
Phone dialer is cprog.exe in windows.
Contacts is "poutlook contacts".
Just find the appopriate shortcuts in your \windows\startmenu and examine the existing shortcuts.
V
Thanks Vijay. That's exactly what I was looking for .. Why couldnt rename it to something simple ..
Another stupid question .. How do I examine the shortcuts?
Use gsfinder/resco/total command and choose to view properties, noramlly by press and hold on filename.
Otherwise drop it into notepad!
V
Uhm, am I missing something? Why would you want to map the dialer under the left softkey? When you press the green phone key (next to the softkey) it will launch the dialer already.
Because it is much easier for one-handed operation .. it's difficult to reach down and click the green phone key .. with just one hand ..
I used Soft Key to change the shortcut @ the bottom of my screen i only wanted to change Calendar to New SMS, But when i started the Program it made me change both soft keys & Contacts is not in the list. Now i have New SMS & anything but Contacts.
Any body else had this problem? or does anyone have a fix for this????
Funny enough even if i navigate :
Start
Settings
Menus
Contacts is not in that list either.......Weird......
I have attached screen shots to help.
Thanks....
Learn to use the registry. The keys you are looking for are in:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys
Key 112 is your left soft key, and key 113 is your right soft key. You just rename the, "Default" value to what you want to appear on the screen, and the, "Open" value to what you want to launch (the Contacts.lnk is in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder I believe).
Oh, and get Schaps Registry Editor before any of that. ; )

Thanks for the info you have given but im afraid it don't help cause the contacts.ink or even contacts.exe is nowhere to be found on my device not even in the windows folder....
I have attached a screen shot for you to see.
Thanks again.
And by the way i use PHM Registry Editor.....
Do you already have "Contacts" in your start menu? On my phone, I have Contacts in my start menu, and it is no longer in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs but it is listed in Windows/Start Menu. I think it moves the .lnk over when it's active in the start menu. Just a thought.
I mean, it has to be on the phone somewhere. Although I can't seem to locate it in Windows either...kind of makes me wonder where the phone is pulling it from when I select it...hmm...
No it's not in my start menu, proof is in 1 of the attachments in my1st post.
Last nite i installed PocketCM and used soft key to choose the shortcut to it.
Now i have what i originally wanted
Left Shortcut:......New SMS
Right Shortcut:....Contacts (through PocketCM)
Sorted.........
Screen Shot Attached
Yeah, I use iContact v0.6. I'd love to use PocketCM if it didn't try and do so much more than just contacts. It's refusal to stop trying to handle SMS is what makes me stay away from it.
Not to sure what you mean about PocketCM taking over SMS just switch it off in options if you dont like it.....
I use PocketCM V0.23 together with TouchPal 3.0 and the SMS option works well for me if anything better than the original cause it shows the whole conversation and it makes it easier for you to remember what you texting about he he he....
Try it.....
I've got a similar problem:
My right softkey was Calendar, some time ago it said "shortcut not found".
I set it again using Schap's Advanced Config, but it kept disappearing 2 or 3 times.
Now, the links for Calendar and Contacts have disappeared in the Start Menu!
I was able to copy the calendar.lnk from the \Windows directory, but there is no contacts.exe.
I do not use PocketCM, so that's not the root cause...
Try installing PocketCM and use that for a while to see it that shortcut dissapears aswell.....
Sounds like we have all got gremlins in our Hermes!!!!!!!! he he he
Here is the link:

Hope im allowed to post that......
Is there any torch / flashlight app where it turns the screen completely white with max backlight settings? Something like NiceLight for S60.
I've found one but it doesn't alter the screen brightness.
Many thanks
This works on the HD (but I don't use the torch much): pda.jasnapaka.com/plamp/
tried this one, and i like it, but it seems not to install. i can run it from the file, but i cant make a shortcut bescause it doesnt come up in the programs list. Anyone experience the same?
I have tried this too but the brightness intensity doesn't seem to work with the HD.

You can create a shortcut by using file explorer. Copy and then Paste shortcut into windows/start menu/programs
(please note when pasting it's easier to use "menu>edit>paste shortcut" located bottom-right)
Now you have the app in your program list to do whatever you want with it.
wired, there are to programs witch I cannot add, and both are in the filder you tell me to add to. if i put them in the programs folder-my unit programs-were other programs are, they still wont show on the list so i have to run them from file xplorer. beats me
I'm trying to understand what you're saying...
Make sure you've actually created a shortcut and not the program itself e.g. "shortcut to pLamp" and not pLamp.
Soft reset may help.
understanding now, i moved the programe. But i can only cut it and copy in that menu, it doesnt say copy shortcut, so den i cant paste the shortcut?
Probably me beeing noob so thanks for trying to help
Got it, found another folder called programs, then it worked
thank you very mutch
