I installed TomTom any want it to go into the GPS FOLDER, how the HELL do i get it there?!?!?!
Well I just use file explorer to move or make shortcuts, depending on what you want to do you either select the exe file in file explorer, then go edit copy. Go to the folder where you want the shortcut then go edit paste shortcut. If you want to move a shortcut you just cut it and paste it into the desired folder.
There also is a nice app called reSTART that you could use to move shortcuts.

run a program when the phone first starts up?
To be as short as you with your question:
WINDOWS > AUTOSTART
add shortcut or executable
well let me b a little more long winded so i can get a more specific answer...i want to take a program and automatically have it run whenever i turn on the phone...which would in-tern..make my life much easier...what would be the way for me to do such a thing...thank you in advance...i would appreeciate it
Yep, my answer is still the same:
Add a shortcut of that particular program to the WINDOWS AutoStart folder. You might have a shortcut for the program you want to run at startup in your START MENU ??? Open FILE EXPLORER (or similar applications), navigate to: C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and copy the shortcut. Now navigate to C:\Windows\AutoStart and paste the shortcut there.

I'm confused. On my Apache, you place a shortcut to the program you want to run in "\Windows\Startup" I use Total Commander to make the shortcut, but there are other ways. Isn't the MDA the same?
It depends on your ROM version too!
If you do not have an AUTOSTART folder but a STARTUP folder then you have to put it in there! On my MDA it is called AUTOSTART
I'm just wondering if there is a possibility to create shortcuts in the Programs-Tab of TF3D of applications that are not installed but just run by clicking the .exe-file in the file explorer.
Like it is with GPong2D.
Does anyone know?
yep, just use a good file explorer like total commander (the stock file exploer may work). go to where you have the .exe storied and copy it. then go to windows/start menu/programs and just paste the .exe there. you can now launch it from the programs list. and when you use tf3d to add a program to the launcher it should show up. hope this helps
Hiii,
Is it possible to remove icons from the start menu?? And is it possible to copy an exe file (or other sort of file) to your start menu?? Because I have installed a program but it won't open from the Start menu, only when I go through explorer and then open the exe file it works.
Using a file explorer navigate to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs and delete the .lnk shortcuts you want to remove. Similarly copy and 'paste shortcut' anything you want to appear in the start menu. Don't place .exe files here, only .lnk shortcuts.
ok thanks!
I have just installed tomtom 7 and the program has not created in program icon so if i want to launch it i need to go into my sd card and click on the icon in there,, is there a way i can copy and paste the icon into where the program icons show up ?? if i can how can i do it and also find the folder ?
If you use File Explorer and long click on the .exe file on your storage card you should be able to select copy. Then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (if you want to add it to a particular subfolder you can do that) and paste the link as a Shortcut (to do this scroll to the bottom of the folder, long click and from the popup select Paste as Shortcut). That way the icon will be available in your Start Menu.
thank you worked a treat..
Solution found, thread closed
Is there any app that will allow you to take a shortcut and put it in a folder?
Like put Ramcleaner into tools folder or bing into Internet folder?
Thank you
there are several, and the one on your phone is called file explorer ..
/windows/start menu/programs
move them around how ever you want, via cut and paste ...
Or
connect to your PC via active sync goto the root of your phone then
/windows/start menu/programs , move things around create folders what ever you want ...
(sometimes the windows folder can take a while to load)
Remember any quicklinks may have to be updated if you move the shortcut ...
Thank you it was that easy!
