Jamin - Delete recent programs from start menu

Hi Guys,
I just got my Jamin a few days ago and have hard reset it more times than I care to remember. There are a few things that irritate me that hopefully you guys can clear up for me.
Firstly, how do I switch off the recent programs section of the start menu?
Also, how do I clear recent searches and Terminal Service information?
Thanks,
DB

Ok... so this might not be the most complex of questions for you guys to answer... but someone MUST know... And the same for the dictionary... where's that located?

Both entries are in the registry. Both require you to perform a reset afterwards. You can not turn off the recently used programs list (stupid M$, I know!) but you can clear it. Attached is a CAB file that should clear the recently used list (make sure it is read only so it doesn't get deleted after you run it). It is meant for WM2003SE but I think it should work for WM5; you may just have to change the Max OS Version using WinCE CAB Manager. For the Terminal Services Client list, you will have to search the registry fo the IP/server name and then delete it manually.

Thanks Mate,
I appreciate the help
What app do I use to regedit? Obviously Start >Run - regedt32 doesn't work! haha
EDIT: Call me blind... but where's the attachment!? Haha

Yea, good point where is the attachment? This is the 2nd time this is happening to me on this forums in one day! The file upload keeps timing out, so I'm just going to tell you the Registry change you have to make and you will have to use WinCE CAB Manager to make your own cab file:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch]
"0"=""
"1"=""
"10"=""
"11"=""
"2"=""
"3"=""
"4"=""
"5"=""
"6"=""
"7"=""
"8"=""
"9"=""
Use PHM Registry Editor or trial version of Resco Explorer 2005. Both should be on Pocketgear.com or try google. Depending on your Registry editor you may have to exclude the speech marks.
Hope it helps

VJEschaton has a command line to clear the recent menu. However, the OS still requires you to soft reset. Defeats the point IMHO.

Anyone knows how to change Notes SAVE PATH in WM6??

Hi,
I already did my research on this topic using the search function provided.
However, I can't get anyone giving the correct solution.
So,
Did anyone here knows how to change Notes SAVE PATH ??
I tried to change the registry in :
(HKLM/Sotfware/Microsoft/Notes) from \Storage Card into \Storage Card\Notes
HOWEVER,
everytime I saved the new registry, and DO a soft reset, it always revert back to the original condition, and sometimes, the registry value is "\Storage Card\Notes" BUT when I save new notes, it was saved in the root of storage card (as usual).
Please help me to find solution for this one

I'm watching this myself.. I just wind up moving the damn things. Once they're moved, they stay where you put them, but anything new winds up in the root again.
I really should look into a better notes program anyway. I have yet to find one that operates in a sane fashion for WM.

Hello every one!
I'm facing the same problem.
Jmohik
Did you solve the problem? can you share the solution?.
I'd been trying to acomplish exactly the same, with no luck. I'd changed the reg keys to target "my" new paths, but the sys just ignore them.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

For myself, I solved this issue the following way:
When you open the Notes program, in the upper left corner you'll see a drop-down menu to select different folders. Choose the folder you want (I chose /My Documents/Notes), and that's it! After choosing it, all the new notes that you make are saved in that folder.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Missing Features

Hi, everyone!
Recently I wanted to install Resco Explorer 2008 and, after installation, to activate it, the program looks for "Owner Information".
So, I decided to enter my name in the phone so I can proceed with the installation.
I looked in Start/Settings but there is no such field for "Owner Information".
I also looked for "Power" or "Power Settings" to make adjustments for battery, but I couldn't find that field, either.
I don't know what kind of Windows I have because I don't see any field saying something about the Windows mobile. I wonder, is it possible to have a returned phone that came with a cooked Rom or something?
In Start/Settings/About Phone/Software Information it says "OS version 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82).
Before returning the phone, coould you please verify your phones and let me know if you have:
1. Owner Information (and where it is?)
2. Power or Power Settings (and where it is?)
Aslo, if you know, let me how to check the version of the Operating system.
Many thanks to all!

HKLM\ControlPanel\Owner > change Hide from 1 to 0
Then your owner info is back (I for some reason always had it right from the beginning without changing anything in the registry, using GER 1.48 stock ROM).
To get into the normal WM6.5-settings just go into the settings-tab within Sense and click bottom right.

1. HTC Sense, slide to People, hit All People soft-key, Owner Information in the 'Me' contact!
2. HTC Sense, slide to settings, Menu soft key -> all Settings -> System -> Power
OS Version as 2 above but About instead of Power!!

Do you not have the "Me" contact at the top of the people list (note - not the contact list)

This is not a bug and just user error. It is a preference within WM, obviously not to your taste though.
As others previously had said owner information is the "Me" person and the power can be achieve by
Start>Settings>Menu>All Settings> System> Power

I did not find the rigth user info either so I downloaded a small app that found it for me, its called "owner information" Here is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=265383&d=1262995348

No, I don't have the "Me" on top of People list, I do have "Me" as contact card - but this is not what I am looking for. Prior to installation, Resco is looking for the name of the owner (like a computer within a network) not into my contact list...
On the Microsoft Website, they said to follow these steps:
"In case you lose your Windows® phone , you may want to add owner information, a message, or both owner information and a message that will display when your phone is turned on. Doing so gives someone who may find your phone a way of contacting you.
To add owner information and a message to your phone:
Tap START , tap SETTINGS , tap PERSONAL, and then tap OWNER INFORMATION"
I can go as far as PERSONAL but I don't have any icon for OWNER INFORMATION... Any ideas? thank you.

Perhaps download the free "Total Commander" .CAB file and install it and then do the reg tweak.
edit: by responding to this thread doesn't mean I endorse warez

I will do, so.
By the way, what frequencies you have for 3G? I have HSPA/WCDMA 900/2100 MHz. I wish I would have 700 or 850 for when I'm traveling...

The "ME" contact is the equivalent of owner information.
Fill in the me contact with the same name as you would in owner name.
OR
use the reg hack above to enable owner name.
OR install BSB tweaks to do the reg hack for you.

Thank you. I will do that! I appreciate your help.

A little extra info on this subject, just for reference.
If you have set your owner name by unhiding 'owner info' in personal and entering it there, and then open the 'me' card in people, it doesn't show the owner info you entered in the personal section.
If you then click 'done' in the blank Me contact card, it erases your owner info from the personal owner info, thus reverting resco (and no doubt other progs that rely on owner info for the liscense) back to trial mode, and you must then re activate it.

owner info cab??

Before I installed the new ROM I had a small cab called Owner info(I think) I have searched but cant fin it again. Nice program that lets me change the owner info. Anyone??

[People], [All Contacts] now edit the 'Me' contact

note that only the info you put in the first name box of the 'me' contact card will become the 'actual' windows user id used when unlocking programs such as resco.
(well it did that on mine, and i tested it a few times, heh)

THIS one you mean?

Just install BsB Tweaks... it will allow you to enable the owner panel in Settings, in addition to countless other things.

There's this too that gives you a litle melody when you turn on the phone as well. You have to tick owner info in today settings to enable it.

Start- Settings- (Down bar) Menu- All settings-Personal-Owner?

Why would you need to change the owner information. Do you have the HD2 on time share?

Thanks all, I got it now
@Neville.Holland no, I just did not know what the owner name was after the new ROM

Neville.Holland said:

Because certain programs that you have to pay for, the owner name in the Settings window is used in conjunction with the serial you get for it.
So the program asks you for a serial, and it will only work with the right name in owner's info in Settings.

a simple (I must be DUMB) question

I just flashed my TMOUS HD2 with their new ROM and cant find the place where you put your "Name" in it so I can re-register my app's. I looked on "personalise" but its not there? Thx...Tj

Start>settings>personal Information,
if ints not there i no you can activate it using hd2 tweak mate which i will link to, im sure there will be a reg edit but i don't no it sorry

EDIT
5. Enable Hidden Owner Info in All Settings\Personal Folder
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Owner and change Hide from 1 to 0 and then reset. You can now enter your name you want to register old apps
from here = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638

Ahh that worked...Thx. I wonder why they hide it...Tj

its hidden by HTC because when you set the name of the 'me' contact card it is also written to the system owner name, BUT if you set the name the way you have, it doesnt write it to the 'me' contact card. Its kind of one way. (Yet another incomplete part of HTC sense, their coders should be shot)

Absolutely.

OK thanks..I say we (all HTC owners) all get together and start a protest...I will meet you all in front of their building tomorrow a 8am...lol...Tj
