Hay all,
I've just got the Need For Speed Game.
It runs fine using the touch screen control but how do I make an icon for it in the programs list?
No matter where I stick it on the phone or the memory card when I click on the "All Programs"
it doesnt show in the list. I have to go in to the file manager to find it to run it.
Thanks
Its easy my friend.
Open your file explorer i.e. Total Commander or File explorer 2 and navigate to location of Need For Speed. Create shortcut to this by holding down stylus on icon till menu pops up. Once you have created shortcut move or copy it to /Windows/Start Menu or /Windows/Start Menu/Games whichever you prefer. If you now go to Start > All Programs it should be there
Ha cheers bud

Better than standard stock rom explorer, though cooked roms have different explorers depending on which you use, i.e. some use Total Commnader, some File Explorer 2, some stock explorer

I've updated with no problems several times but can't for the life of me find any way to add programs such as vncviewer and putty which are on my storage card to the programs menu.
can it be done?

Sure. Easiest way: in ActiveSync (on your PC), "explore" your PocketPC. Find the executable you want to have in the programs screen, then drag it WITH THE RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to the Windos\Start Menu\Programs folder of your PocketPC. When you release the right mouse button, chose "create shortcut". That's all. Oh, you may want to rename the shortcur you just created to something nicer.

Some programs do not create a nice shortcut in your program list. You can however create one and put it there yourself.
There are different ways to do this but what I do is:
Connect to PC with active sync
Use the explorer option on PC part of active sync.
Track down the place where your program is. (maybe in it's own folder on storage card or or in a programs folder on the sd card.
When you find the executable file that launches the program - create a shortcut (right click mouse to get the option)
Right click to "cut" the shortcut you have created and go navigate to:
The Windows folder on the Hermes. Keep navigating to the Start Menu folder and then the Programs folder.
In the programs folder right click and paste the shortcut you created.
Now when you go to programs you will find your program listed.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to move shortcuts from the Program Menu to another folder? for example, when i install some games, it just puts a link in the Programs menu, i would like to have them all in the Games folder.
Cheers!

Yes.
use a file browser and go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and create a folder called games (it will probably already exist) the copy the shortcuts from Programs to Games.

Hi, I would like to know how to move application to folders created in programs. Thanks
using total commander, go to /windows/start menu/programs
in there you can create new folders, add /move shortcuts and so forth
the read-only attributes need to be changed first for the standard proggies before you can move them
You also can create folders in "Office Mobile".
I have in \windows\start menu\ the following folders and sub-folders with various apps:
Office mobile
------Finance
------Games
------Multimedia
------Navi+Comms
------Office
------Reference
------System
Programs
------PI Utils
------Utilities
------SBSH Utils
------Tool box
For the standard programs I think you actually need to change the registry and not just the read-only status. Search here in the forum as this has been covered somewhere - I have seen it but don't have the link.

I have a similar grouping and nope, attributes will do it fine
BTW, I can recommend Quickmenu for a regular winXP style startmenu (check the wiki for the link) with cascading folers

Thanks - I stand corrected. I had read elsewhere that the registry needs changing. Thinking about that now, I think this referred to the Office Mobile folder.
How abt the those applications install and create in the program page. I wish to move them to a existing folder, like I've pocket UNO installed on the program page but I wish to move it to the game folder that already exist there.

Just cut and paste the file into the games folder - should move with no problem.

Hello all,
I have just received a HTC HD2(Leo) from Vodafone and have paired it with my Parrot handsfree, and have set the bluetooth settings to start the Navi Panel. Except it does not start.
I then looked in the Windows folder and can not find Navi.exe , does anyone know if it is not included in a Voda variant?
If not is is possible for someone to send me a copy?
Wan
mine doesn't have the navi panel either
either the original T mobile rom or the new 1.48 rom!
Chaps,
Look here.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581144
Also you may have to use the option of showing hidden files in File Explorer to find it.

Hi
Wacky.Banana
You are correct you have to click MEnu in explorer thencheck Show Hidden Files.
Double clicking the Navi file causes the application to run.
The reason why it doesn't run when connected to my car kit is the HD2 needs to be plugged into a charger

Morning,
To unhide files in explorer go to Tools>Folder Options>View>Show Hidden Files... to solve that problem.
In terms of finding the Navi Panel file you need to explore the Windows folder on the device (fine doing this via Activesync). Once the files have loaded up (can take some time as there are stacks of files in this directory) scroll through until you eventually come to 3 files all called Navi...
Click on the properties of each file; what you are looking for is the file whose properties are application. That's the one you want.
If you want to use it to access the Navi panel, copy that file into your StartMenu folder, which is a sub folder of the Windows folder.
From here exit these folders, go into the StarMenu folder by tapping on Start at the top of your device screen and you should find the Navi file at the bottom of the items listed on that screen (you can tap and hold to get the sub menu that allows you to move the file to the top of the list).
For greater ease of use you can now copy the file as a quicklink onto your front screen. Job done!
Incidentally these instructions are based on using Activesync to access the device and copy and paste that way, not by trying to do all this on the device itself, which you might find tedious and frustrating.
If you get stuck pm me and I will see what I can do to get you there.
Hope this helps.

hi ive found all that on my htc hd2 and done all that but once ive accessed the application it wont let me choose a voice on the app when runnin
Navipanel is designed to work in conjunction with the HTC hardware car kit, which connects with a terminal under the battery cover. It's quite likely that a lot of the functions (such as speakerphone) only work with the hardware connection.
Ok, dumb question now, sorry :-(
In my haste I copied Navipanel.exe into Startup insted of Start menu. Now I can't delete or move it and it's causing some problems. Can anyone help a dumbo and tell me how to get rid of it pls?
HI, i have seen on this WM6.5 that i can't add any program (ie one thats not say google maps or one of those big companies)
i can run the program via file manager and clicking the application .exe
the phone still wont see the application as a program.
i had a jasjam before and the prgrams i am trying to add worked fine but now on 6.5 cant do this.
the only way is to run these apps, well not run but to get a short cut, is on a program like CHome but then i move away from HTC sense start up display that is nicer looking.
like i said the programs work fine, just can see them in programs.
anything that will help?
cheers
have you posted a shortcut to your windows\start menu\programs\
I'm running 6.5 and any time I have a program installed on my sd card or trying to run an .exe from the storage card (or even if the .exe is just in another folder) thats what I do and it shows in my start menu or whatever subfolder I put it in in the start menu.

Yeap, in programs folder as an .exe, other folders like goggle maps are there too. The programs still don't show or work. Should i not try and get an .cab version? since looking into this takes you into trying to understand a pda rather than a PC. The .exe files still cant be seen, i have to run them via file explorer, although now loaded a short cut via button strokes so am using that to make the task a little easier.
I ran a .cab file on another program and found it distributed files with icons and other th9ngs that seem to integrate better into the host rather than an .exe
Also been looking at all the apps these phones can have its amazing.
I have one on my phone that can change a set of traffic lights in my city!
With authorisation of course, its my job, just saying how the PDA has really started to take off. become the real modern Swiss army knife.
