I have read many instructions on adding the wireless to the today menu
ie
You need to edit your registry as follows:
Create a new key called "Wireless" (with the quotes) in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\
Inside of that, create:
- a String called "DLL" (without the quotes) with its "netui.dll" (without the quotes)
- a DWord called "Order" (without the quotes) with value 00000000
- a DWord called "Enabled" (without the quotes) with value 00000000
- a DWord called "Type" (without the quotes) with value 00000004.
Close your Registry Editor, go straight to Start Menu, Settings, Personal, Today, Items, check to activate "Wireless" as a Today Item and return to the Today Screen to see it active.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The problem is I do not think my device has an up to date netui.dll, and it is not displaying it.
My netui.dll is from 2004.... could this be a problem?
Or is there any other reasons why this would not add it to my device? (it is showing up in the add items, but just not on the today screen)
Any suggestions?
Perhaps in -dword "order" you must do another number, because another plugin can have the 0. -Or try the cab.

After I install this cab it just locks up the device and I have to do a hard reset. Is there any special instructions with this cab?
No, I think you have a trubble with the plugins order. If you have 2 plugin with the same order, than it can make a reset. Look in the registry.

Hey guys, Ive ran into a little problem.
I was messing around with Memaid, and I accidently deleted the 'Calendar' registry entry for the today screen, which also removed the entry from the Settings>Today>Items menu.
I assume the actual entry is in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items
Would someone be kind enough to look up the entry for me so I could add it back to my registry.
Thanks!
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Enabled = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Flags = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Options = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Order = 33
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Selectability = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Type = 1
"Order" will change as you move it around.
Thanks!
I only have experience with PHM, TRE and Total Commander's registry editing, unfortunately. However, they all work more or less the same.
Somewhere in Resco's File Explorer should be a registry editor. See that you get that running first Then navigate to...
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\
You should have a menu option somewhere where you can choose 'Create' or 'New', followed by 'Key'. Pick that one and you'll probably be asked to give it a name. For the name, choose "Calendar" (with quotes here, though I don't think you need it with the quotes).
That should get you the...
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\
key.
Now in the same menu where you could create a Key, you can probably choose to create a "DWORD" or "decimal" value. Pick that one for each of the items I had listed, and give it the appropriate name. E.g. "Enabled". It will likely also ask you for the value you want to give it - enter the numbers above (make sure that if you get an option to either edit in decimal, hexadecimal or binary, that you're using decimal. Doesn't matter for most of these, but for any future registry edits it'd be good to keep in mind to pick the correct one).
That's all there is to it
Alternatively, I believe that Resco can 'import' .reg files, and somebody could toss this in a .reg file for you to import - I don't know what type of .reg file Resco expects, or I'd attach one myself
It's good to know how to work those registry editing things anyway.
Equivalent entries for Mail?
I just installed and removed GoodLink (a corporate email client) on my Treo 700w. It modifies the Today screen and replaces Mail with it's own entry.
However after removing GoodLink I found that my old mail entry on the today screen was not restored. I used the phm registry editor to add this:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Enabled = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Flags = 0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"\Mail"\Options = 0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Order = 9
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Selectability = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Type = 2
which makes Mail appear in the list of available Today plugins. However if I enable it in the today options nothing appears on the Today screen.
Can someone supply the corect entries or tell me what I might be missing? Thanks.
Okay i did try a search and it didnt work.
I have noticed when i do registry edits to HKCU (current user) they tend not to work at all or revert themselves back after softreset.
For example.
Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys
To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created
Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx
I went to the 112 folder changed it to "\Windows\Messaging.lnk"
And then the other to TEXT MESSAGE...the TEXT message part changes, but when i push the button it still opens up CALANDAR....so i soft reset, and then everything is back to normal like i didnt change anything.
also
i have attempted the tweak to show when i am using caps/numbrs and cause thats in HKCU as well it doesnt seem to work as well..
Anyone have any insights help or suggestions thanks!
I am running ORGINAL 8125 cingular ROM, thats it.
Few registry tweaks and using Recoes Editor.
be sure not to reset with the sylus but rather by holding down the power button for 5 secs. Than answer "yes" on the question if you want to turn off. With this method, the device has enough time to write the registry changes to the flash ROM before power is suspended. Resetting with the stylus results in changes not being saved because the device has no time to write them to the flash ROM. Hope this solution helps, it did help me.
If i reset with a stilus after a reg edit i will always wait a few minutes (like 5) after the reg changes.. it always works fine.
i found this out after resetting right after changes and they wernt applied.
Hi,
I want to change picture storage path to a sub folder in 'My picture'. i was able to change HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Picture\StorageCardPath from '\Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA' to '\Storage Card\My Documents\My Picture', after soft reset, it kept changed value, but every time I take a picture, the value will be reset back to original value (which is '\Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA'), can someone let me know why? Is there any way to change it and keep changed value not be reset back when take picture?
Thanks!

Here is a link to a soft key applet:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=226198#226198
It adds a setting in your Control Panel that allows you to change the soft keys to any program you want.

I recently got a Cingular 8525, and while trying out all kinds of popular free and commercial software (resco and spb products) and customizing my today screen, I found I had a "network" item for the today screen which displayed two lines containing the carrier my phone was connected to, which wifi ESSID I was associated with and whether bluetooth was enabled or not.
It looked like:
---------------------------------------------
AT&T
wifi: budget bluetooth: disabled
---------------------------------------------
That today screen item disappeared after I removed a few software packages to make room in main memory for others. I want it back, but don't know which cab file or software product it was originally part of. Does anyone recognize the item I am talking about? Where does it come from?
Thanks in advance
Sounds like a nice item you mention there. Unfortunately I don't know where it comes from. I use DKToday for displaying the Operator name, signal strength, BT status, call & SMS timers. No wifi status though. Maybe it helps you to get something simular.
Cheers, M
This is wireless plugin from M$. It can be reenabled via registry hack or via HtweakC application.
Registry editing as follows (copied from net):
Using a registry editor navigate to...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items]
Create a new key named "Wireless" (YOU MUST USE THE QUOTES)
Create string named: DLL
Value = netui.dll
Create DWORD named: Order
Value = 9
Create DWORD named: Enabled
Value = 1
Create DWORD named: Type
Value = 4
You should'nt need to reset your device. You can enable\disable the plugin by tapping Start, Settings, Today, Items Tab and selecting the plugin.
Thank you
Thank you KarhU! That was it! I have HTweakC installed, and enabled it through there.
hi all,
is there a way to swich the contact button to classic contacts view instead of PocketCM view?
thanks
forumka
This is the solution:
First download and install a Registry Editor, then You can do it in two simple step:
1st step:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
Change "String 1" value from "\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe" to ":MSPOUTLOOK contacts".
Make sure that you DO NOT ADD the "" on the new entry: (only :MSPOUTLOOK contacts)
--------------------------
2nd step: Remove the application from the softkey
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys
in "keys" DELETE entire key called "113"
which have Strings:
"Default" set to "Contacts" and
"Open" set to \Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe
Now you can press "contacts" softkey and phone open default "contacts" view!
enjoy the difference..
star, thanks

Help can someone tell me the proper registry setting?
Hi I was trying to put the icaller registry setting back to normal I was supposed to manually edit the registry: inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS, set
parameter "1" to "\Windows\poutlook.exe Contacts".
But I screwed up and set parameter "0". Can someone that has the default tell me what's supposed to be there? My previous registry backup apparently didn't do a full backup of the registry so I can't read it. Thanks.
Sorry, I meant iContact above, not iCaller.
