cheers for the assistance I tried that one, the link comes up as intrusted / unsigned
works fine as a direct link through programs , just not through the cube
any ideas?
First Go here then try here
no joy so far
tries shortcut creator, been through the lnk thread... again....
tried google...
there must be a way to shortcut to a specific folder???
if you read the actual 051 thread, slither discusses this many times and says it won't be available until 052
I think it involves passing a parameter to fileexplorer...
Look at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2120755&postcount=140

create a link to your file explorer
tap and hold
select properties
add '-windows\start menu\games' to the end of the link so you should end up with something like
program files\file explorer.exe -windows\start menu\games
cheers for the help folks, still no go.
will have to see if slither can resolve in the next release

I got it wrong, no '-' before the address
"fexplore.exe" windows\start menu\programs\Games
exactly as above in the properties of any .LNK will do it

cheers mate but vust links to the 'my device' page on file explorer no matter what i do.
have looked into and edited folderview.exe so it should route to an alternative folder but the signature is not taking via msigner.
was thinking that this might be the 'simple' way but must be doing something wrong, was thinking set the shortcut to a generic option (ie Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Test) would give some flexibility (we could just add/rename folders in the program list
any idea what i am doing wrong on the resign?
edit: unsign/resign done will work on the edit to see if i can get this to work

Please try this It's part of Wisbar Advance 3, Start Panel. Files in folder my documents > my documents and exe put somewhere.

If you have problems with startup (blank white page) and using wktask or programs like this, make exception to run always in background. Then to refresh list you must restart it.

Hi IkE Blaster, Spot on, works perfectly!!!! is it possible to edit the config to allow folks to choose the folder?
if this works, it is a configarable menu option that will work with any 3rd party app
all credit to you!!!!
hope you dont mind but have added the link to Slither's c++ cube thread
rename this .txt file to .LNK and you should have it

thanks for trying, this works as a seperate link but not through the cube??? for some reason it brings up Internet Explorer????
You can change the "url" of folder in config file, if you select for example start menu, than can you change folder tapping the top curtain. But you can go only in includes folder. I can't explain it, try it yourself
cheers man,
appreciate the work
thanks for your help

Settings are controlled through the registry as opposed to programs which are located within the file structure.
Thanks for your reply
OK. Do you happen to konw where in the registry I can find the "settings" settings? I would like to move some shortcuts around from folder to folder.

AFAIK, you have to cook settings into the ROM through the Settings HTML and MUI located in Windows folder.
Incidentally I have deleted both folders (programs) in Start menu folder
What would be the easiest way to recover all shortcuts (without reinstalling ROM again)?

What ROM are you on?
Rom - 1.66.405.2 (76641) wwe
Here you go mate. It's the program folder (from \windows\start menu\) zipped up.
Now be careful with it in future lol
Thank you
I can now add programs to quick links, but I still can't see anything inside start menu

Bizarre. Have you restarted since copying the shortcuts? (I don't actually believe that it will help, but it may)
I have restarted, it didn't help
There was another folder inside start menu (beside programs).
I am missing that one too Could you send me this one too, please

The settings folder is empty for everyone, that's why I just gave you the programs folder. It's thrown me that you can't see anything in your start menu, even though you can add quicklinks. Maybe a hard reset is called for. That will definitely fix it, but it's obviously a pain.
I'll play a bit with [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start]

Nice one mate. Glad you got it sorted
Sometimes when i remove a program the picture of the program still stays in the start menu... How would i get rid off that???
you're probably seeing the shortcut. if you have total commander (or any other file explorer that would allow deleting a shortcut), navigate to the proper folder and delete it. you should be fine afterward. hope this helps =)

Thanks that did the trick
Hello!
I am returning to Windows Mobile from Android. I purchased a T-Mobile Dash 3G, and am liking it so far, however I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to remove a lot of the applications from the start menu because they're really cluttering things and I want them gone. I can't access them through the File Explorer. When I find something, for example TeleNav, that I want to delete, the option to delete it is grayed out.
If anyone knows of a tweak, a hack, or a .cab I need to install to get this done, I would be GREATLY apprecative!
Have an awesome day!
here is the app called totalcommander download it install from phone. then you can go into the windows folder and then go into the start menu folder and from there you can create new folders to uncluter or delete what you dont want.
You can remove elements in Windows/Start Menu
You can also make folders and sub-categorize items to make the start menu clutter free.
The file explorer all ready on your device will support this.
You can change the start menu order using a registry editor and editing HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu\Order
can i change the folder icon?
