I don't have idea how to select file in windows file explorer...I have folder with 200 files and I would like to select half of them. In option I only have select all... In HTC Diamond I tap on file, slide down and file was selected. How to do with HD2? Tap and slide down doesn't work, only scroling list.
Sorry for my English
I have only been able to select one file at a time by pressing the file for over 1 second and then a menu pop's up i.e. copy/paste etc....

Been searching for about an hour now. Is it possible to make shortcuts to folders?
For example- I'm trying to make a shortcut to the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder, but every time, it can not find the file.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks in advance.
Use Resco Explorer
I use Resco explorer all the time, that´s why I did never find it difficult..., It´s easy as use the desktop. Select the folder ("Programs", in your case), tap and hold, "Copy", go to the desired place where you want to add a link, tap and hold, and "paste as shortcut". Done!
There is an easier way, select the folder ("programs") an "send to" > "Start menu as shortcut". Done!
Download a trial on website!
The folder you want is located in Your device\windows\start menu\programs
also to see all files on your device you need to enter options in resco explorer, to do this click menu at the bottom right when resco explorer is open then click options then click general, now click browser then make sure all boxes have no ticks next to them. then click ok and you will now be able to see all files on your phone.

You don't actually copy the .exe program to Windows/start, you create a shortcut to the .exe file and put the shortcut in Windows/start
Or download Resco Radio instead
I don't seem to be able to create a shortcut,am I missing something.

Use one of the following file explorers and you should be able to create a shortcut.
File explorers aren't all the same and have different methods of creating shortcuts, though its usually one of these:
1. Press & hold .exe file using either stylus or finger until pop-up menu appears then select 'Send shortcut to Programs'.
2. Press & hold .exe file using either stylus or finger until pop-up menu appears then create shortcut and move this to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
3. Select or highlight .exe file, then click 'file', then '>>>>' then create shortcut
As usual excellent advice,thank you so much.

How to select more than 1 file in file exprorer?
I have never had problems on my previous windows mobile phone, but with HD2 I am too stupid to figure it out how to make selection of multuple files...
No it's not just you. You can select multiple files as long as there is no scrolling in the window. As for selecting if you need to scroll i dont know. You can use total commander as this has a Ctrl key option so you can pick multiple files
You can select multiple files with the windows explorer using the SWYPE keyboard.
Click the SYM button three times
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to navigate to the files you want
Press the Select Text button
Use the UP and DOWN arrows to select multiple files
Only problem is that the files have to be next to each other.
its easy with resco explorer :/ maybe go try that one?^^ amazing explorer anyway
Hi,
How can I change the "Click" setting...? I want to double click a file to be executed and not from the first click. I'm unable to select for example a MP3 file to copy/paste it etc... because it will start playing or if a cab file, it will run.
Any idea how to chnage this...?

you can tap and hold for 2sec and all the options will pop up.
You can also try a different file explorer like Resco which lets you select files very easily.

What are you using to copy and paste??
You should use file explorer or one of the 3rd party file tools to copy and "Paste Shortcut"
You browse your device to the program directory and copy and the browse to /windows/Start Menu/Programs and either past it there or into the folder of your choice under that ...
You can also do a cut and paste if you just want to move an existing shortcut ..
and just to be sure , we are talking about the "start menu" what you get when you hit the windows key?
Hi,when i hit the window key,i get a list of all the program installed such market place,you tube,email,messenger...
I would like to have igo and solitaire there as well.
on my pc i can't see the folder windows for the htc,so i directly copy and paste from the phone and it doesn't work.

You have to do it ON the phone, and paste shortcut not just paste ...
also if you cannot see the windows folder on your pc, you need to select activesync as your connection type, your phone will show up in your Computer, if your phone is not asking you what type of connection when you plug it in you go to
Settings>connections>USB to PC, and check the bottom box that says "Ask me ......"
It is no different than creating shortcuts on your pc, but it has to be done ON the phone with file explorer or the like ....
I do it alot so I know these steps do work ...

as said above, you should be doing this on the phone, not the pc.
start - file manager - menu - show all files - browse to windows - find solitaire.exe - press and hold - choose 'copy' - scroll back up and click the folder start menu - press and hold blank area of screen - choose 'paste shortcut'
press home hard key, find a blank quicklink, press it, now you should see your shortcut available.
As for why you cant see your windows folder on the PC, , , open up file manager on the PC, browse to your phone - click tools - folder options - change to 'view' tab - scroll down the list and TICK 'show hidden files and folders' and UNTICK 'hide protected operating system files'
