Hi guys and gals,
I am not sure if I am the only one but I cannot seem to colapse my favourites folders in Opera. I have a long list with all the folders expanded. Is it possible to colapse them?
I have a lot of favourites saved that for "whatever reason ;-)" that i do not wish to be immediatly visable.
open file explorer, browse to windows/favourites and you can create folders, and move favourite links into them.
Thanks, I know i can do that. What it is I want to do is when in opera hit the favourites tab and see my favourites with all of the folders within it colapsed.
Is this possible?
and how can i get the favs for my manila left soft key on my home-screen?

that would be good. it seems to be more a HTC problem since the favourites program seems shared with opera and IE.

Don't know if it is possible, but is there anyway to organize the list for your progams (i.e. Put all office products in a folder), been looking and havent seen anything and the long list i have is getting old fast!
Thanks
What do you mean by "the list for your programs"?
The menu under "Start"?
The "browser" you get with Start>Programs?
Something else?
For the first two, there surely _is_ a way to organize in folders ...
But maybe you get a little more precise first?
Organize into Sub-Folders
I've got the same issue, and it seems pretty straightforward to me. Instead of having all the programs in one large lump, I'd like to create sub-folders, or somehow organize programs by subject so they are easier to find.
using file explorer,
windows\start menu\programs
create and edit as you like
DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING - if you do it can be sorted, but it's a hassle
Duh!
All it takes is knowing the incantation. I would never have thought to look in the Start Menu.
Thanks!
I'd like to set "all" as the favorite album in the TF3D photo tab so it just displays all the photos I've taken (I have about 100 pics separated by folder under \storage card\pictures\) The problem is when I do that it puts other pics like the icon's for Angelusz's landscape fix at the top of the thumbs list.
Is there a way to either hide certain album's(folder's) from HTC Album's view, or a way to make it only look at the storage card and not at the phone itself?
if you get an answer.... please repost!!!!
having same issue.
looking to not show in the 'albums' section a specific folder that has images in it.
and in the same token, making these (same) pics not be available through the 'see-all' feature.
trying to not have 'accidental' display of pics no need to make them "hidden-files" because then one wouldn't be able to view them when needing to.
can there be a limit set to the viewer and how 'deep' it searches for images? maybe they can be placed in a series of sub-folders that are so many deep, that the viewer does not look for....?
yeah this is a big problem if you have tomtom because it loads all of those pics

The simplest solution is to change the properties to hiddend for the image files you do not want to see in the tab.
There is also a reg patch to exclude particular folders but i dont know the details

If anyone has more information on this reg patch, I'd like to know more.
Also as Angelusz pointed out to me in another thread the HTCAlbum doesn't search the windows directory, so I've been dumping wallpapers ect. in there whenever I can. The big downside to this is the amount of time it takes the X1 to load the windows directory, especially when your trying out several wallpapers.
Key
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
(if ignored doesn't exist: create it)
Make a new String Value and give it any name
example: igo
set the Data for the new value to the full path of the folder to be ignored
example: \Storage Card\iGO8
(note: all sub-folders will be ignored as well)

Great, thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the info! But there is an issue
Hello -
i tried your suggestion, but it didn't quite work.
i have the HTC fuze -
i created a folder in the storage card called ddd, then went to the registry and followed your suggestion, but when i go to the camera, and select the soft-key for albums, there are some options called "all" and "camera shots" that still reveal the contents of the whole phone. and the folders that contain the images that are to be kept away from accidental viewing, are already located on that folder 'ddd' on the storage card. how do i delete the "all"/"camera shots" feature form the album viewer, or better yet, how do i keep some pictures from coming up in their individual folders in the same viewer.
sorry to be a pest, but if there's anywhere else to get good info on this matter...it'd be here.
thanks for the help!!
works for me, thanks
Hello all,
Took receipt of my HD today and for the most part i'm loving it...there is however a few things bothering me, and i'm hoping someone can help?
1> How do i create new folders for images, music, ringtones etc?
2> How do i then move things to the relevant folders?
3> How do i get album info for music if i dont already have it?
4> How do i resize an image and save it as wallpaper so it fits?
Thanks for any help you can give....
wallpapers - look under the themes / apps sections section
move folders - use 3rd party file explorer (deafult explorer won't let you expore windows folder ... ) or through active sync / explore - most of the programs can be found in /windows /start menu or programs - just drag and drop .... make new folders etc etc.....
sms tones should be copied directly to windows folder on the phone ..... ringtones, they seem to be stored in my documents / my ringtones on the phone
images - default seems to be in storage card DCIM blah blah blah
as for 3 & 4 ...not sure... but A search on the forums will help you through the other problems you stated
hope this helps....

1. Use one of the file explorers used. Work on same process as file exporer on your pc.
If using File explorer to, to create a new folder press File > New Folder or hold down stylus/finger > new folder
If using Total Commander, press file icon with + on it
All ringtones should be saved to either /windows/Rings or Storage Card/My Documents/My Ringtones. Obviously less space taken up on computer is stored on storage card
2. To move things, select and hold down them by either using finger or stylus. Window should pop and select send to
4. Try reading a few of these threads

Make sure the MP3 tags + album pics are in order on your PC before transfering it to your HD. Use any ID3Tag editor to do this. Once the info is correctly set up in the MP3 files, it should show up in the musicplayer.
Thanks to you all for the replies, i've managed to do most of the stuff i needed to...just one more thing though, i got a HD because of its size hoping my big sausage fingers would be able to use the keyboard, and although i still can it could be easier, is there a way of turning the keyboard to landscape rather than portrait as default?

Latest manila versions and roms you can rotate 90 degrees to landscape so you have option of both portarit and landscape.
Also, for example Duttys latest roms he has an application called FlipIt (do a search) where you can select rotation angles for apps, so you could actually set certain apps to only work in landscape.
Sorry if this is a stupid question I have only just got a windows mobile. When you install programs it shows up on the start page. For example if I install uno is there anyway of putting it in the games folder ?
Thanks very much
You can indeed.
You need to do it through File Explorer.
If you go to My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs you can create new folders, cut and copy existing shortcuts into folders, etc.
If you open up file explorer and head into
windows folder..>..start menu..>..programs...
you should see all the shortcuts on the start menu (ie Uno) and the folders (ie Games)...
then you can just rearrange them as you like....
some of the htc shortcuts will re-appear after being moved but there is a registry entry you can alter to prevent this. You'll find info on that in the very useful hints and tips sticky at the top of the forum...........
Hope that helps...
Edit;
Beaten to it lol....
Thanks very much
Cheers for the replies i have managed to do it !
Thanks
I deleted the following shortcuts "Transformers", "MobiTV", "Market Place" and "YouTube" from Windows/Start Menu/Program, thinking they were redundant since they were already on the home screen. But while the icons are still on the home screen, I can't get to the four programs by tapping on the icons; instead, I got the error message about "Shortcut Target" saying "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".
I was able to find the "MobiTV" and "Transformers" folders, but I could not create shortcuts from the .exe files since the "Create shortcut" was gray and did not respond to taps. My questions are: (1) How do I re-create those four shortcuts that would make the icons on the home screen work again? and more generally, (2) How do I create shortcuts (gray-colored) for any .exe files? Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated.
I know that the "Total Commander" app let's you create links where File Explorer doesn't, but I've never actually messed with that part of the app very often.
Tons of folks are complaining about the movie icon, as far as I know no one has found a way to fix it once you break it
You got it the wrong way round.
First, click on "Copy" option for the exe file that you wish to make a shortcut.
Then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, click on "Menu", the option "Paste shortcut" should be available now.
Re-created shortcut for MobiTV, but not for the other three
After seeing your answer, I realized I should have performed them on my HD2, instead of on my synced desktop PC! As long it is a .exe file, a shortcut can always be created for it on Windows program page by using the method you described. Thanks Zentury!
However, I could only recover (re-create) the shortcut for MobiTV since it is a single .exe file. I could not even find where the .exe files are for YouTube and Market Place to re-create the shortcuts for them... As for Transformers, since it is a folder with two .exe files, I could only create shortcuts for each of the two separately on Windows program page, and the icon on the home screen still does not work. Any ideas?

As for the Transformer Shortcuts use the cab posted, The other exe your looking for are in the windows folder on the phone. You Could always reinstall marketplace, for that shortcut.
Thanks for the attached .cab file! I downloaded the .cab file for Transformers but am wondering where should I put it: in the Device or in the Storage Card, and in what folder?
I did find Market Place and YouTube folders only in the Device's Windows folder, but where are the .exe files for them?! In Market Place folder, there is only one tiny file called ClientLog0 (263B); and in YouTube folder, there are four folders and hundreds jpeg files.... I did the search on my desktop PC for files in HD2 and know there is one YouTube.exc but don't know which specific folder it is in... Without getting to these .exe files, I don't know how to restore/reinstall the shortcuts for them. Please kindly advise. Thanks.

it doesnt matter where you copy the cab file do as long as you know where it is, once it is on the device use the file explorer to find it and run it. Try this cab for the other 2 link files
I tried the Transformers.cab on my Device but failed to install because of "not sufficient system permissions". Earlier, I found Transformers.lnk in Device Windows and paste it on Windows/Start Menu/Program. Tapping on the home screen Transformer button will take me to the two Transformers movies, but I lost the nice Transformers icon on the home screen; instead, I only got the boring old Windows icon in its place. How do I get the nice Transformers icon back on the home screen?
I got YouTube shortcut back to work OK now, but Marketplace shortcut still does not work. The .cab file for Marketplace installed without any error message ("successfully installed on your device") and the Marketplace icon stays on the home screen, but tapping on it does not take me to its web page. Can you suggest anything I can try? Thanks again.

I would just reinstall the marketplace cab and that should fix it. Not real sure on the icon.
I reinstalled the Marketplace.cab file a few times on my Device, still no luck - tapping on its icon on the home screen won't point to the right web page, only the same error message... The strange thing to me is there seems no .exe file for Marketplace on the device, so ... how did it ever get started?

Hi, just catching up with the latest on your problem resolution. (Note: I'm on the other side of the ocean.)
I took a look at the contents of Marketplace.lnk on my HD2 and the file location is "\Windows\WMMarketplace.exe".
Thank for taking the time to look it up - now I know why I couldn't find its .exe file on the device: it's WMMarketplace.exe, not just Marketplace.exe! Next time when I do the "search", I will use the wild card symbol * in the search string. Some valuable lesson learned!
Anyway, the shortcut problem for Marketplace was solved last night after I found another Marketplace.cab (116kB) provide by zelendel in another earlier xda forum thread. The youtube & marketplace.cab file I've been using and did not work is only about 2kB in size so apparently was not a good .cab file.
The only remaining "missing shortcut" problem I have is now changed to "missing icon" for Transformers on the home screen. The two Transformers.cab files I got from the xda forum all have the error message "not sufficient system permissions" when I tried to install them. Since the installations were "unsuccessful", the ugly blank-look icon in place for Transformers on the home screen still keeps staring back at me ...
Anyone got a Transformers.cab to share that would not cause the "unsuccessful" verdict and would restore the nifty Transformers icon on the home screen? Thanks!
Ive just downloaded that Transformers cab thinking it was going to the movie file or some funky robotic program and all i got was a shortcut leading to nothing??
Hmm, now how the hell do i remove it? Ive deleted the cab file but the shortcut is still visible on the start menu.

You probably aren't running the Tmo ROM, right? The transformers link only opens up the player for the movies that are provided to tmo owners on the included 16GB SD card...so all you did was indeed install a "link to nowhere".
You'll need to navigate to /windows/start menu on the phone, and delete the "transformers.lnk" file there.
there is an app on freewarepocketpc.net called "LnkMgr", that you can use to create shortcuts ...
works ok ..
