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

Using your file explorer on your HD, browse to the location where you installed iGo8, i.e. /program files/iGo8 or storage card/program files/iGo8
Create shortcut of .exe file. Copy this file and put it into /windows/start menu/programs
Now when you go to Start menu your icon should appear

here's where the iGo is
Storage card / iGO8 and inside it all of the maps and content
i copied the iGO8.exe and put it in
MyDevice/ windows/start menu/programs
it shows in start menu but when i clicked it it build two files in the start menu " saved" and " custom" and also it didn't work
did i do something wrong?

Don't copy the iGO8.exe file, create a shortcut to it and copy the shortcut to /windows/start menu/programs

Shortcuts to items in settings folder.

I want to make a short cut to bluetooth icon that is located in settings folder.
Any idea how can I do that? Being able to put it in to manilla screen short cut would be superb.

Bluetooth shortcut
Hi!
First install the attached cab file.
Then add it as a shortcut.

I have it but that is not it it only enables and disabled bluetooth. I want to be able to go to full BT settings that you can access from settings menu.

Shortcut to BT
the file is called BTManager.exe and is located in the windows folder, you can just make a shortcut to this file.

In case you don't know how, locate the file in file explorer and do Menu, Edit, Copy (or long-hold on the file and select Copy), then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and do Menu, Edit, Paste shortcut.

Yep I see that now however I have already made shortcut to actual cpl file. Thx guys.

Sorry for misunderstanding.
I was interested to do this also, and tried to follow this old post:
since I still cannot post links, Google this:
Q: How can I create a shortcut to a program in settings?
It seems that it cannot be applied to Winmo 6.5, but it may be a lead to someone who knows how to adjust it to new Windows...
Edit: oops, didn't see the above replays...

If you just copy short cuts to settings folder they will appear in settings/system folder after soft reset

Can't see icons in settings folder

Settings are controlled through the registry as opposed to programs which are located within the file structure.

Thanks for your reply
OK. Do you happen to konw where in the registry I can find the "settings" settings? I would like to move some shortcuts around from folder to folder.

AFAIK, you have to cook settings into the ROM through the Settings HTML and MUI located in Windows folder.
