Update
I have now created a CAB for the script.
It will install a link to the program in Programs under the Start Menu.
IMPORTANT: You need to have MortScript installed. There is a CAB in \Program Files\HideFolder. If you already have MortScript you can delete this CAB.
The new cab is at the end of this post.

Hiding folders from HTC Album has been discussed elsewhere, maybe for different reasons than mine !
When I select 'Storage Card' a list of folders appear that have no interest to me and do not contain any images that are mine.
I have written a script that allows you to Show or Hide folders from HTC Album. I included the ability to 'Show' folders in the event that you may want to temporarily hide a folder but re-enable it at some point.
You need to have Mortscript installed on your device !
Unzip the file and copy to your device.
When you run the script you will be given a choice whether you want to:
1) Show a Folder
2) Hide a Folder
3) Exit the Script
When you select Show or Hide you will then be asked to select the folder.
If you select Show: A previously hidden folder will be enabled (If the folder is not hidden you will get a message informing you of the error)
A confirmation message will be displayed and you are done.
If you select Hide: The selected folder will now be hidden from HTC Album (If the folder is already hidden you wil get a message informing you of the error)
A confirmation message will be displayed and you are done.
I've run the script in as many combinations as I can think of and all seems to work, please let me know if there is something I hae missed.
CAB Now available see above.
Thanks for such a necessary utility, I was actually looking for this for some days now...I needed this... you know to hide some things when your is taken over by some enthusiast who wants to check out everything in it and occasionally press wrong links....
This app. does its work what it supposed to do but I have Resco photo manager installed the hidden folder is visible in this photo manager...is there a way it could be hidden to resco as well.
great,
is this also possible for HTC Music Player ß
I don´t want to see my ringtones and others on the SD card.
thanks
I edit the registry to hide the folders. This saves me a lot of work. Simple enough. Thanks

having some trouble figuring that out could you help
Apologies
Hi All,
I am really sorry that I have not been able to respond to recent requests.
I have some personal stuff going on at the moment which has meant my head has been inserted up an unattractive part of my body.
I am sorting myself out and will try to help where I can in the next few days.
Apologies and thanks in adavnce for your understanding.
Hide more then one folder????
it seems as if i can only hide 1 folder and not multipl folders. How can I hide multiple different folders? When i attempt to do another folder the error always says this folder is already hidden and its not.
Thanks man, nice little app!!
tried on hd2, doesnt work

I’m still a beginner with XDA, but starting to figure things out slowwwwwwly.
Couple of questions.
1. I’ve installed PocketZen (v3.5) and have managed to activate it. Whilst PocketZen is set up as the Today scene, how can I add custom applications (e.g. Excel, Word, Calendar etc) on the PocketZen desktop?
2. How can you apply the icons like the ones shown in the picture below? I’ve downloaded the following icon files but don’t know what to do with them :- Arjen.rar & Egypt123Icons1.rar
3. I’ve downloaded the ZenRingMode.exe file and copied into a folder called “Zen Ring Mode” within “\Program Files” folder on the XDA. I’ve managed to launch it by going in to File Exporer. Seems a bit tedious…..Is there a better way? However, once launched and you put the code in and click “Save Ring Mode”, how can you then utilise that sequence? What will the saved sequence be called? Surely not the code sequence you’ve just used????
:!: :?:
I will try to anwser your questions but I invit you to read the doc in the PocketZenPhone web site (see my signature below this post) All about custom icons ... is explained.
But to explain you directly PocketZenPhone is a today plugin it "only" allows you to switch between different phone mode.
To display shorcut I use TdLaunch.

To apply icons for PocketZenPhone. Install PocketZenPhone, then open an explorer using ActiveSync and copy the incons extracted from the .rar you downloaded and copy then in Porgram files/PocketZenPhone.

ZenRingMode only allows you to test some custom Ring mode. you enter it , apply it and test when someone calls you. If the code is great you can post it on the PocketZenPhone thread on this forum.
Hope this help
Thank you very for such a fast response. Appreciate it. I’ve copied the jar files to \Program Files\PocketZenPhone as you suggested. However, nothing has happened. How do I activate new icons?

No unzip the files on your PC, then copy the pictures on your pocket.
Once done go to the PocketZenphone settings (settings->today->item->PocketZenPhone->options ...) . Exit and return to the today page ... that's it
OK. I’ve unzipped them using WinRAR and then copied them in a folder called Egypt123Icons on my PocketPC. Went into PocketZenphone settings (settings->today->item->PocketZenPhone->options ...) but could not find anything to change icons! Sorry to trouble you again but can you please help me out. :roll:
Copy them in the installation path ( \Program Files\PocketZenPhone for the english OS)
Then go to settings->today->pocketzenphone->options...
Got it at last...Thanks you....thank you very much for your patience.
:lol: :wink:
No prob glad you have it working
Here's what happened...
There was an icon inside my games folder that didnt do anything. Clicking it just gave me an error (forgot the error already). I took the risk and deleted the icon. After a reset, my Games folder was showing up as an ordinary folder (no card icon below it).
Can anyone copy their Games folder and attach to this post??? Or maybe just give me the solution...
~ishtangli
maybe that's a glitch in the system files... why don't you just hard reset your phone? back up your contacts and calendar of course..
Attached is the file you have deleted. This file is the icon for the Games folder (it's actually a shortcut file). You can customize the icon of any folder by creating a file named "icon.lnk" with a content similar below:
1#ceshell.dll,-162
Using a 3rd party File Explorer (e.g. Resco), you will be able to see this file. Using the defaul File Explorer, you will only be able to see this file when you turn on "View All Files" option (tap and hold on any open area of the default File Explorer and this option will be shown on the context menu).
In my experience, this icon appears inside the Games folder when I go through Start -> Programs -> Games when the "View All Files" option is turned on. Try turning it off and this icon file disappears.
Have fun,
YajP
Marc,
It would take too long to restore all my applications and settings if i Hard Reset.
File didnt work. Placed it inside the Games folder and reset my device. Have you had experience restoring any of these icon files?
~ishtangli
Nope, didn't have such problem. I also deleted that icon.lnk in the Games folder before thinking that it was installed wrongfully by some of the 3rd party apps... to my surprise, the Games folder was reduced to an ordinary folder icon when I go to the Programs menu. So what I did was got that file from one of my colleagues, copied it to my device and tried to solve the issue of hiding that icon file. Below are the current screen shots from my pocket pc... hope it helps...
ishtangli, my ROM is still the stock one: 1.66 WWE... so am not sure if the functionality was changed in other ROM upgrades (1.72, WM2003SE) =)
that's a very possible suggestion! i think the functionality wouldnt change in other rom versions.. i'd say go with the RESCO solution
Maybe some kind soul could post their entire games folder...
~ishtangli
Here it is...
still didnt work. hmmm.... seems kinda simple but it just wont work. WM2003SE thing?!?! Whatever it is, im not hard resetting my device just to get some damn icon back. Thanks guys! If you find any solution, post it here aite...
~ishtangli
Games Icon
Try this.
Download, unzip and copy the icon.lnk file within to the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games folder.
It is a shortcut to target the shell *.dll file that contains the icon that is displayed for the games folder: shellres.dll,-8229
So that must be the difference, the link to the icon file...
from
1#ceshell.dll,-162 (ROM1.66)
to
shellres.dll,-8229 (WM2003SE)...
Yeah

Hi folks,
My first post on the list here. Hopefully I've come to the right place.
I have a M1500 SPV pocket pc device. I would like to customize the Start Menu items by removing two of them -Active Sync and Internet Explorer. I have made a cab file which makes changes to the registry and would like (if possible) to delete the above mentioned items from the start menu via making a change to the registry. I know I can delete the shortcut links from the Start Menu folder but I would prefer to do it via a registry edit if possible. Or if possible, use the same cab to delete the shortcuts from the Start Menu (not sure if this is possible!?)
I'm also looking for a way to hide *all* programs from the Start->Programs screen. Any ideas how to achieve this via a registry hack?
Best Regards and thanks a lot for any help,
dav7
Dan - do you want to delete the start menu ("\windows\start menu" and all subfolders and entry on the start menu?)
Or remove most recently used entries on the start menu?
Or programs in "\windows\start menu"?
Registry isn't really your friend here, other then for the MRU list.
V
Hi vijay555,
Thanks for the quick reply. I only want to remove certain programs from Start Menu, this one...
>Or programs in "\windows\start menu"?
I know if I delete those programs from My Device->Windows->Start Menu then it will remove them from the Start Menu without deleteing the actual program. I was just wondering if there was a way to do that via the registry? i.e. perhaps there is a key in the registry somewhere that lists the items to put in the Start Menu following a hard reset?
I am also looking to hide all programs from the main Programs page i.e. the Programs screen\page that shows all the actual Programs. I was wondering if there is a way to do that via the registry?
I know for example I am able to hide things that reside in the Control Panel settings i.e. Connections->Beam. I was wondering if there is a similar way to do that in the Programs screen?
Hope that is clear! or clearer!
Cheers,
dav
dAV:
sounds like you want to edit your startmenu.
Get a file explorer like GSFinder/Resco etc.
navigate to \windows\start menu
and delete/move everything you want to clear out.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
heh problem is that the registry is reset when you do a hardreset
so it would just go back to default
same thing with the content of your \windows\start menu
all shortcuts would reappear after a hardreset
unless you made a program in the extented rom which removed them when it was run
Hi,
Thats basically what I'm trying to do. I've made a cab file which when run sets a lot of registry settings following a hard reset. As you said, after a hard reset the device is restored to its normal build. My cab runs right after a hard reset to make sure the device is configured the way I want it. Are there any keys in the registry which are responsible for configuring the Start Menu? I cant seem to find one for Start Menu, only the New Menu
An alternative approach is running an exe which deletes the Programs from the Start Menu folder...but I would prefer to parcel it all up in a tiny little cab file if possible...
Thanks again for any suggestions...
Cheers,
dav
i never seen anything like it in the reg
Thats a pity. I cant find anything either. I prefer to do as much as possible in either the CPF or a cab. exe's do the job but there big and more complicated to change. Neverthless seems I'm stuck with an exe for now. Oh well...
Cheers,
Dav
Hi, Dav!
Even though there is no registry solution, exe file is not your only option.
Cabs can contain a setup.dll that exports 4 functions which the system calls before and after installation or uninstall (separate function for each event).
Check MSDN for setup.dll specifics.
Get a cab file that will start up automatically after a hardreset to delete all the fies in the start menu? I think if you delete the files in the start menu, it will be removed in the Programs list. It is basically a short cut file.

Hi Hanmin,
I think you are correct...if you delete *all* files and folders from the Start Menu it will remove the files which are directly situated in the Start Menu folder as well as all files in the Program folder which also resides in the Start Menu folder. This will remove items from both the Start menu and the Programs screen. This is ok for me though as luckily I want to also hide all Programs from the Program screen. A lot of the device functionality has to be hidden from the end users, to prevent them from fiddling with anything and to also hide things like Games etc...
Cheers,
Dav
Hi,
I've managed to get the setup.dll working. Its really useful and stops me needing an exe for many things. However, is it possible to get the dll to show a Dialog window? I've tried incorporating a dialog to the dll but it never seems to show up. I need the user to set a value and was considering doing it via the setup dll, but so far not been able to get the dialog, or even a Message Box to show up when called within the dll?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dav
Here is a line of code from Install_Init function that's working perfectly for me:
Code:
g_dlg = CreateDialog(g_hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MSGDLG), hwndParent, MyDlgProc);
I save g_hInst in DllMain.
As for message boxes, just call them as usual, never had a problem there, but you need to make sure you put your code in the correct function or it will not be called at the right time.
Hi !
I've just upgrade my 9000 with Rom 1.30.89 ITA
With the previous Rom I can move shortcuts in Start>Programs in sub-folders created by me (for example: PIE in a folder called Web)
But now i see the shortcuts (of the pre-installed applications in Rom as Word, Excel, Agenda....) in Programs are hidden files and I can't move to my customized folders, i get an error !
I have an italian OS and the error is "Accesso negato" (probably in English is "Access denied")
Same error when i try to modify the registry from PC with Mobile Registry Editor or Smartione.
What's up ? :shock:
Is not my first Pocket PC and with all my past device i always was able to move folders in Programs and edit the registry from PC, but now I don't know what can I do...
Anyone with this issue ?
Thanks :wink:
answer
cut and paste the shortcut icons. you will have to have any start menu aplications closed to do this. It will give you an error if you try to move those icons if you don't close those programs also clear out all the checkmarks under start-settings-menu. this should help
I had this issue as well on my Dopod 900. These files seem to be classified as System Files now and are hidden.
I was using Resco File Explorer and it could not see these files. But checking the box "Show All Files", the files could be seen and moved.
Using File Explorer though, I am pretty sure that it sees the files with no problems. You can move them but you get a prompt saying that this might cause some problems with other software. Just have to click OK and it moves it.
Hope this helps.

Thanks sandrobber, I always close all the running application before moving the shortcuts and I clear all the checkmarks
@capkapak
You're right when you say "These files seem to be classified as System Files now and are hidden."
Anyway thanks for your suggestion, I can move files with TotalCommander also (not only Resco) and modify the registry with PHM RegEditor
Obviously both installed in my 9000
But i would like move files and modify registry from my PC....
Ps: This is strange for me, I always was able to move files with ActiveSync and modify registry with Smartione without any problems.....
Thanks guys for your replies :wink:
ABOUT
The purpose of this CAB is to reach a sort of UC way but with a very easy & friendly approach
HISTORY
I come from Diamond world, so because this CAB can be adapted for other platform/devices why not preparing a separate sUC.cab to use for enabling ALL the stuff (ramdisk, pimbackup,ram recovery,etc...) included in Dia Duit rom series?
what have I to do with this cab?? simply it will apply these features:
Latest stable MortScript is inscluded & ready to go, so no more needs to install as separate cab
Choose between 3 speed profiles: 1. fast (takes more ram & battery), 2. balanced (not heavy tweaked but not funny) & 3. untouched (default WM6 settings)
GPS profile: TomTom, iGO, Navigator or default WM6
Everyday auto recover RAM feature (at 4.30AM) + automatic sms/contacts/calls backup/fav manila people (trough pre-configured pimbackup app, PimBackup included)
Ramdisk (2Mb) feature (optional)
A new way for a fully automated CAB/REG/EXE/CPY installation/copy after every hard-reset/rom upgrade
UPX executable, compress (fully automated) exe files from fresh installed cabs, this saves space & gives faster app load times
Easy & fast tweaking method without 3rd part software: tweak registry scripts (with comments)
Tips enabled by default to preserve a bit more battery life (for ex 3 secs of led blinking instead 5, increased battery life counter,etc) + increased speaker sound volume + many example for setting automatic alarms, rings, etc...
Moved MAIL + Attachments folders from main memory (My Device) to external one (Storage Card)
3 / 4 rows configuration
This should work on every WM based rom, also because I added the auto recognition of "Storage" name... so should work without troubles also on NON WWE roms (except for CABi installation)
DOWNLOAD sUC.cab HERE
DOWNLOAD sUC_source.zip HERE
BEFORE INSTALL (mandatory)
create in your "Storage" (the BIG one) a folder called "Backup and Restore", then inside it a folder CAB (inside this another folder called CABi), then at the same level of CAB folder create a folder called CPY, then REG, then EXE
so practically your basic structure should be like:
Code:
Storage Card (or whatever name)
=> Backup and Restore (folder)
=> CAB (folder, put here all the cabs you want install on main memory)
=> CABi (folder inside CAB folder, specific for "must go into Storage", see notes)
=> REG (if present all reg files here will be joined to default WM registry)
=> CPY (if present all files here will be copied under their correspondent folders)
=> EXE (if present all .exe & .mscr files will be launched)
all files in the CAB folder will be installed (automatically) into "device", the ones in the CABi folder will be installed into "Internal Storage" (or whatever you have, always automatically), from REG folder all *.reg/*.rgu files will be loaded on the fly, from CPY all files will be copied (with overwrite) into correspondent folders (for ex useful for copying personal dlls, wav/wma/mp3 files or background, etc...), for finish from EXE folder will be launched your executables (personally never needed, but who knows?) & if present all *.mscr scripts... pay attention to exe files that needs user interaction
INSIDE THE CAB (a deeper explanation)
when your sUC cab is installed it simply creates a registry entry under [HKLM\init\]"Launch69"="2ndboot.exe", this permits the script 2ndboot.mscr (launched by 2ndboot.exe) to be loaded upon system reboot (just one time)
this script, if the structure mentioned above isn't found, it will create automatically all the folder & default reg files needed under your storage card, the name isn't important because it should guess itself its correct name, so don't care if your storage is called something like "MyBigStorageCard"
then it will ask you some questions... such as if you use ActiveSync, which GPS performance adopt, etc... all this info, which at 1st you'll pay high attention, will be stored under your storage card in a file called config.txt ...why?? simple... because next time you will flash or hard-reset your phone you wont have to push a button the script will found that previous stored config file & it will take all the info needed for final rom configuration to skip all annoying questions after every upgrade/HR
note: there is also an hidden option that should be used only by experts, to enable this option simply add by hand to your config.txt file the line: FastInstall=1
this will skip all countdown menu & messages... personally I use this option because flashing a lot this saves much time more
next it will look in the CAB folder for installing your CABs into "device" or main memory
next in the CABi folder for installing CABs into your storage card (you need to do this just 1st time, I'll explain later...)
next it will look at a file called upxlist.txt (must filled before), where simply you will specify all the *.exe file you want to compress after every cab installation... for example your upxlist.txt could look like:
Code:
\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe
\Program Files\9.5 Beta\Opera9.exe
\Internal Storage\Program Files\Binaryfish\All Mobile Mines\All Mobile Mines.exe
note: every line for every EXE file, pay attention that you can compress just EXE files coming from extra CABs, because EXE files present in the rom are read-only
next it will copy a set of basic reg files with many tips/tricks/examples inside, useful for making many customizations
note: of course if you have previously prepared the folder structure & you have copied your REGs files under the REG folder they will be processed together the files above
next it will look in the CPY folder and will replicate the found folder structure (with files too), for example create inside it a folder \windows with some file inside & it will copy all found files under \windows on your device, or create \program files\myapp & it will create that folder structure in your device, of course it works also for Internal Storage even if it has no sense, anyway just a note it doesn't create empty folder, to create an empty folder just use a single .mscr script (something like: MkDir("\mydir") ) & copy it in your EXE folder
next it will look in the EXE folder & will launch all the exe files inside it, if found it will launch also all *.mscr scripts
next if found (you'll understand better upon an HR), it will ask you to restore your backed-up start menu, so you don't have to re-arrange your icons again
next if found, it will ask you to restore your last PIM backup & will reboot
notes:
right now CABi procedure works only on WWE roms (due to translations work to be finished), anyway there is a trick to skip CABi installation, or better make by hand just once (read few lines below)
installing cabs into Storage Card sometimes will fail, this simply because some cabs need confirmation/accept license & so on, so don't expect will work 100%, also many cabs require to be installed into main memory so NOT into Storage Card, for ex I use to install into Storage Card simple cabs such as games
sometimes pim backup restore can fail, try to restore by hand after installation; backup are divided into week days (monday, sunday, etc... "Last" is the last saved backup)
if you put sUC.cab in your CAB folder wont re-processed of course, useful if using sUC together with UC/UC2 installation method (see at bottom)
if you still use the 1st sUC release way your personal scripts still work like before, simply move them under EXE folder, or transport as reg entries directly into your personal reg file & copy it under REG folder, you can find on the same folder some examples (to clean all your old stuff simply empty the REG folder, modded REG files wont be touched on future upgrades)
you don't need to re-install every time your CABi, just install them once, then on next upgrade answer No or simply edit your config.txt & change the correspondent value; after CABi installation on a clean boot go with your explorer under "\windows\start menu" folder & re-organize your start menu structure (cut/past links, create/delete folders, etc...), remember to don't delete "Settings" folder even if empty, then go under sUC menu & backup your StartMenu, on next upgrade sUC will detect start menu backup & it will reinstall automatically... because the content of your storage card isn't erased after a rom upgrade/hard-reset your installed CABs will stay there untouched, so backed-up start menu has inside correct links
is possible to move TomTom, iGO, Navigon, etc... definitively into your storage card, so you don't need to install them every time: copy entire nav software folders from \program files to \internal storage\program folders, re-create icon shortcuts (copy/past as shortcut in your start menu), for iGO you have to edit sys.txt (under iGO folder) & change the path of base installation
in the same way is possible to skip for example FingerKeyboard installation from related cab, simply take a look at this short guide
INSTALLATION
note: to migrate in every new sUC version simply move your reg mods in your Personal.reg file, erase all the rest of reg files because they will be re-generated with the new ones, remember that on upgrades reg files wont be touched so pay attention on what you mod
if the rom is UC compliant simply create a called SDConfig.txt file in the root folder of your Storage Card, for example your SDConfig.txt could look like (pay attention to upper-lower case & no empty lines):
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
CAB :\Internal Storage\Backup and Restore\CAB\sUC.cab
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset
in this way at reboot will start standard sUC procedure (remember MortScript is included & also that sUC cab wont be re-processed even if present in CAB folder), instead if the rom isn't UC compliant simply install sUC as any normal cab, then it will ask to restart (or restart manually) & automated procedure will begin on reboot[/b]

the cab isn't still perfect but should work, of course I haven't a different device from diamond so all you will be a sort of beta tester
I've removed all specific diamond stuff, so it should work
Of course this is just a starting point, I'm dedicating much time to develop this small piece of "software", thx also to many other friends
You know as it works, so you should feel a bit like at home

yep you are right... UserConfiguration, the only difference is that you don't need to write any config file, at least not as "normal" user, it's enough to copy under correct folders the CAB plus other stuff you want installed/loaded after every flash/hard-reset
I'll porvide soon a video-guide, so it will be for sure more clear
OK, OK, nuff with making fun of me Or were You seriuous with video guide?
Cos I just had a brilliant idea - I'll install the damn thing and look for myself
I think I should have done that in the first place. But still, I believe screenshots would save some time understanding what's it really about.
Yeah Screwed Up Click for life
no no I'm serious friend... but I'll suggest to wait a couple of days because I'm working on a new version where is possible to cut-off all the specific HTC/manila stuff & above all I'm re-commenting all the registry entries that interact with OS

Hi,
really don't want to be rude or offence, but ... isn't this something like SASHIMI????
If so ... where are sUC's pros?
kind regards
fwt
almost... but it's very very simple... I'm testing an heavy modified version able to run on almost every WM6.x base device
OK the CAB is ready for testing purposes... please re-read 1st post because I'm making a better, I hope easier, description of features... thx
bye,

Mate, this piece of software is plain GENIUS!
So much easier than the UC thing, with all the boring scripting. This way you just place in folders, and you are (mostly) done! Amazing stuff!
I have some questions/requests for you though...
Is there a way to repeat the procedure (restore at 1/2 start up), at a later time? This could be useful, for example, if some files get corrupted, or you just want to revert back to default cabs/settings, etc. So I guess what is needed is a way to manually activate the procedure.
Second thing is regarding mail settings. Is there a way to back this up? My hotmail settings get destroyed after every HR.
Cheers.
Forgot to mention, a manual activation of this procedure would also help if (for example) you want to make multiple program installations. This way you could just use the folder CAB, without wasting time on every single program you are installing/testing...
Cheers

hmm... it could be a good idea... even if some phases can't be reverted, or better it's very complicated to "go back"... such as for ramdisk
anyway many phases are yet accessible as indipendant scripts just take a look under "\Backup and Restore\scripts" folder, of course other script could be extrapolated but I'll do probably on next version... let's say this is a testing purpose version because I have to "think" that this app must work on many (almost all I hope) wm6.x based devices
As one of the end (l)users who first saw this in Suiller's Dia Duit rom series, I can attest to this resolving one of the major grievances of Windows Mobile rom-upgrades. With some "smart" planning ahead, getting everything back can now be mostly scripted by simply placing the install file in the correct directory. Same with restoring data from your pimbackup, or adding registry settings. Once again we have a case where the xda-developers have surpassed the "offficial" roms in user friendliness.
I have since moved on to WM6.5 (still on my Diamond), but I sorely miss sUC from my later roms.

updated sUC, corrected some small issues
I corrected some default/samples reg files, so I suggest to erase all default *.reg files under REG folder to update correctly
move your personalization to something like "MyRegPers.reg"
please reports here bugs/issues/suggestions or whatever... thx
