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

I'm having this problem as well. Try going into Settings > Input > Word Completion > click Clear Stored Entries. For me clicking this does nothing. Still got all the custom words in the dictionary.

If you look in the Windows directory of the device there's a file called eT9MyWords.exe. If you run that it allows you to delete custom words. You can also create a shortcut to it in the Programs menu if you want.

could you folks please choose better wording for your post topics.
"T9 Tip" = a TIP, A piece of new and useful information.
What you posted was a T9 QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

brilliant! Have been wondering why my device keeps thinking that I want to type "yhe" instead of "the" and "yhings" instead of "things" when using compact qwerty - that program cleared things up nicely! thanks for that!

Someone Please Help Me ( Touch HD Problem)

Hello everyone,
I just got a new Touch HD and im full of questions and need help badly.
I've downloaded the Touch_HD_UI package and when i came to this part...
HOW TO MAKE YOUR APPS DEFAULT
- Install a registry editor (Resco Explorer and Totalcommander are included)
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/microsoft/Shell/Rai
- there you find lots of keys like IMG for the picture viewer, :MSFEXPLORE for your file explorer and so on...
I want to do the winterface, but I'm having a problem...
How the HELL do i find the hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/shell/rai ??? I've looked tiredlessly and cant hind nothing.
Can someone give a run down on how to put winterface andn making my own applications default???
Thanks and God bless.

I just tried and found hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/shell/rai first time using a registry editor
Using your file exporer (Resco Explorer or Totalcommander) go to Windows and open file called RegEdit (i.e. registry editor).
If you want a faster access to this file in future create a shortcut of it and put it into your startmenu or programs folder
There are other registry editors out there if you do a search.

Actually that's what threw me off using TotalCommander the first time as well... It has a strange way of getting into the registry: You have to go to the topmost level (just hit the backslash top right) and then go into "\\Plugins", then "registry". There, hkey_local_machine is HKLM...
Hope that helps!

Should be in your \windows folder already under et9mywords.exe Just create a link in your startmenu\programs folder to it if you need easy access

thanks for the reply. Ive tried looking for that in the windows folder but its not that ive even tried searching usung total commander. They are all dlls or non txt files?

I'm really interested in how it will perform when I upload my 300,000 words dictionary... I think it is not t9 editor... it's just the user dictionary provided to add some (few) words to existing T9 dictionary... I would like to see real T9 dictionary...

Unhide system files

How can I unhide system files in HD2?

In File Explorer, click "Menu" and then "Show all files".
That should do the trick

It does'nt work.
I tried to do what in "Leo Hints & Tips" for exp:
"1. Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files to see the games listed."
I can't copy files as instructed (working with total commander) and if the files were copied I can't reach/see them.

I think you may have misunderstood the original instructions.
Open file manager (not total commander) and navigate to Windows folder.
Locate the file BubbleBreaker (it's 46K, not one of the others)
Highlight it and keep it pressed till you get the menu with "Copy" in it. Do Copy.
Scroll back to the top and go into "Start Menu\Programs\Games".
Do "Menu, Edit, Paste Shortcut".
As I'm a pedant, I renamed the shortcut, removing the "Shortcut to" prefix.
Then, when you go Start Menu & then Games, BubbleBreaker is in there.
Now I've just done that exactly as typed above, whilst describing it for you, so it should work for you.
Let us know if you still have a problem.

Hi,
It works!
Now I got the idea.
Thanks.

Don't know what to say mate - it's in my Windows folder. There's a bunch of files called eT9.Rhodium.xxxx and then eT9MyWords is after them (directly after eT9DeadKeys).
I take it you did unhide system files as previously suggested? (I'm not sure if you need to do that for the games suggestion).

I have a slide deferent question. I would like to delet exe file from thew windows folder but I can't because I can't select Delete, have anyone some advice?

delete exe file
it has been awhile since i have done this, also some files are impossible or almost impossible to delete.
if you have been trying to do it from ur phone, go instead, to your active sync/windows mobility center. click file mgt and browse contents of device, navigate to the exe u want to delete. i have done it before and it has worked on several ocassions. be careful on what u r deleting, you may want to do a google on it b/f u do it
if this does not do it, i got no clue hope this helps someone
johncmolyneux - special thanks to u for the hidden games trick, ? are there any other hidden games in the hd2 winmo 6.5 professional, or where i may find out?

Thanks johncmolyneux,
Got there in the end - I had shown system files, but seems like it somehow "reverted".
Cheers!
