Under settings buttons... always worth switching off and restarting then if that does not hard reset.

same problem here........................probably you installed another key mapper too? (AEBPlus).
It seems a hard reset is the only solution, or somebody could post the registry entry where this key map is defined!?
TIA
Yep put AEBPlus in didnt like so i uninstalled it now no comm manager Ahhh!!!!
After uninstalling AEBPlus, you keep stuck with only "4 buttons", at least in the System Settings. Happily everything keeps working...............expect the CommMgr button.
Either somebody posts the correct reg-entries for this key, or you have to do a hard reset.
I think it might be solved if you place the original files back into: \Windows\AppButtons
Maybe somebody can post a RAR file of that folder?
Second thing, I found the keys in the register. They can be found here:
Mobile device\HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
You will see that the 4 keys are there left by AEBPlus. The missing keys should be here when you have a working Wizard
Hope someone can post the keys and values aswell?
I had the same problem. The registry values in this post will restore function:

You have to add a string to the register. Then give that string the right name and value
AEBPlus was completely rewritten recently. New version will not harm any application buttons ever, compatible with almost any WM 2003/2003SE/2005 device and has a lot of new features

I have just got my first Windows Mobile 5 Device, a MDA Vario. Its great, but Ive put Photo Contacts Pro on it, and changed the home screen soft key from contacts to Photocontactspro. Thing is, the app name is too long and gets cut off to "photo con"
Is there anyway to rename this softkey?
Thanks
You can do that in the registries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 - right key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113 - left key
Values:
Default=Button label
Open=command
Cool, thanks
Hmmm
I wonder if you can help me.
I tried VITO ButtonManager and it has well and truly screwed up my softkey definitions for the Today Screen.
The right one seems to change what is does and the left one does not work at all.
I have disabled Button Manger but still cannot get the softkeys to work again.
How would I reset them to their original values?
Please bear in mind I have NEVER changed a registry key before?
Robin
Remapping SoftKeys
Robster, there is a complete incompatibility between our Wizard and VitoButtonMapper soft.
For interested people there is a specific soft to change Right and Left key applications (for instance, the right softkey is now launching TomTom instead of Contact).
Juste time to find where I may share this soft with you !
You could just follow the registry tweaks up top
It's not much more difficult from using Windows Explorer and notepad
It's my own fault for using the AE Button program
Can anyone let me know how to recreate my comms manager button?
I can't hard reset without it can I?
Thanks,
Joe
Hey Joe
Dont know how to remap, I am sure someone can tell you the registry settings. But if you wanna hard reset all you need to do is go to START SETTINGS SYSTEM and click on clear storage
Hope this helps
I did the same :shock:

About 6 posts down in the thread, user "kjk" has posted a cab file which changes the left *(Calendar) Soft key to the start menu. I'm using it and its great.
Once you install the cab it actually copies a "start.exe" to the Windows folder which is what the Soft Key maps to in the registry.
Cheers,
Chris
i suggest you use smartskey. it lets the softkeys function normally with taps, but holding the left pops the start menu and the right is ok/close.
What is that registry location to make changes to the soft/smart keys manually? Goodlink changed my keyss and i don't like it... :evil: :evil:
What is smartskey
What is smartskey and where can i find it?

I only have key 112... Do I need to make a new key or could it be somewhere else?
Yes, if it does not exist, you can make a new one for 113
the button thats on the upper left side of the 8125 isn;t working anymore!?
when i press it, nothing happens, it normally brings up an option to let me enable or diable stuff. wtf is going on?
thanks
PS. i installed AE Button Plus, but i didn't know how to edit my buttons and removed it, so i think installig it removed that wifi button.
i need help! thanks
came someone help? i really want to restore this badly, i hate pulling out the stylus to enable my wifi and blue etc... (i have big fingers, i can't press the little icon on the lower right hand corner)
that button bought me straight to the menu.
i don't know what the butto is called, but it's located on the left side, and its on the the upper left.
thanks!
Hi, yes its called the comm button - button 5.
Try - goto settings\buttons and see if you can reassign button 5 to comm.
If button 5 has dissappeared from the list then ae button plus has screwed it up - like it did for me and I had to hard reset - darn!
pwwwha! nooooooooooooo!
hard reset!???
is there anyway i can hard reset, and still restore all my progs and info etc...
thanks
I am not saying you have to do a hard reset - try the other advice first.
There is possibly a registry tweak to correct it - but i dont know it. If you have to hard reset this advice will make it easier.
Create backup of windows\start menu - most programs that are on the storage card dont need a reinstall.
Create copy of pim.vol in the root directory of the device - contains contact and appt information. After flash change the new pim.vol to pim.vo and copy and paste old pim.vol (use total commander or gsfinder file explorers for this) and soft reset and you will have info back.
Create backup of windows\favorites - for all your internet favorites.
You can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After rom upgrade copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!
That will make restore a bit quicker than otherwise.
Found the registry key - if you can check this - HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\keys\40C6
40C6 is button 5 and if not there needs to be added. There are a few dwords that will need to be added as well if deleted.
thanks! i found it, but how would i add it? thanks in advance!
woo hoo! i got it to work! thanks!
do u know any other keys?
i want the volume up and down to be D left and right.
