1. Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files on the device to see the games listed.
I have done all that but games still do not show in PROGRAMS.Did i miss something?
heh, i'll be honest, I never got that 'tip' to work either, but many people have so i guess it must be true....

Try copying the .ink files (solitaire.Ink & BubbleBreaker.Ink) from My Device/Windows in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games. After that you should be able to see the games in the games tab (from Manila- Start/Games).
what on earth is Manila?
After copying the files in the way i told you, go to your home screen and pres Start then Games. I guess you know this: in order to be able to see this files in Windows director you must unhide them ( in file explorer pres menu then ''Show All Files'')

Manila is the interface you see on your HD2. It more or less successfully covers the Windows Mobile underneath.
I didn't have any problem with this tip. I did the following:
1. Run Start/file Explorer
2. Go to My device/Windows folder
3. Press slider and drag it down to "B". Find Bubblebreaker.exe
There are four files with that name. Find the largest one./Press and hold on it to bring up the menu. / Press "Copy".
4. Go to My device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games
5. Press and hold anywhere to bring out menu. / press "paste as shortcut".
6. Repeat the same with "Solitare".
It should work now.
Thanks my friend.I have got it.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to move shortcuts from the Program Menu to another folder? for example, when i install some games, it just puts a link in the Programs menu, i would like to have them all in the Games folder.
Cheers!

Yes.
use a file browser and go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and create a folder called games (it will probably already exist) the copy the shortcuts from Programs to Games.

Hi, I would like to know how to move application to folders created in programs. Thanks
using total commander, go to /windows/start menu/programs
in there you can create new folders, add /move shortcuts and so forth
the read-only attributes need to be changed first for the standard proggies before you can move them
You also can create folders in "Office Mobile".
I have in \windows\start menu\ the following folders and sub-folders with various apps:
Office mobile
------Finance
------Games
------Multimedia
------Navi+Comms
------Office
------Reference
------System
Programs
------PI Utils
------Utilities
------SBSH Utils
------Tool box
For the standard programs I think you actually need to change the registry and not just the read-only status. Search here in the forum as this has been covered somewhere - I have seen it but don't have the link.

I have a similar grouping and nope, attributes will do it fine
BTW, I can recommend Quickmenu for a regular winXP style startmenu (check the wiki for the link) with cascading folers

Thanks - I stand corrected. I had read elsewhere that the registry needs changing. Thinking about that now, I think this referred to the Office Mobile folder.
How abt the those applications install and create in the program page. I wish to move them to a existing folder, like I've pocket UNO installed on the program page but I wish to move it to the game folder that already exist there.

Just cut and paste the file into the games folder - should move with no problem.

Read post number 2
Thanks alot
Hay all,
I've just got the Need For Speed Game.
It runs fine using the touch screen control but how do I make an icon for it in the programs list?
No matter where I stick it on the phone or the memory card when I click on the "All Programs"
it doesnt show in the list. I have to go in to the file manager to find it to run it.
Thanks
Its easy my friend.
Open your file explorer i.e. Total Commander or File explorer 2 and navigate to location of Need For Speed. Create shortcut to this by holding down stylus on icon till menu pops up. Once you have created shortcut move or copy it to /Windows/Start Menu or /Windows/Start Menu/Games whichever you prefer. If you now go to Start > All Programs it should be there
Ha cheers bud

Better than standard stock rom explorer, though cooked roms have different explorers depending on which you use, i.e. some use Total Commnader, some File Explorer 2, some stock explorer
I read in this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
that you can enable some hidden games, and I really like those games but I can't seem to enable them! can anyone get me on the right track?
You need to give more of a clue as to what part you are finding difficult!
If you go to file explorer you should be able to browse to the windows directory on your device and then copy the games you are after using a long insert on the screen.
Navigate to the startmenu folder and then long insert on the screen and select paste as shortcut and all shoul be well.
Hope this helps.

You should have asked in that thread. Its a case of browsing to the .exe in the windows folder. Long press on it then copy. Go to \windows\start menu\programs\games. long press in blank spave and paste shortcut.
read the hints and tips thread. The very first tip tells you how to get them showing in the games folder
mmmm i was just about to say a similar thing...
To ask in the other thread didn't seem appropriate for some reason...
ah, sorry, I see it now.
1 more question though... I found the files, and I made quick links to them, somewhere easily reachable in the finder. how can I get my phone to see those files in the games-directory? to put it another way: when I hit the 'games' button in the start-menu, I want to see those 2 games too... any pointers?
copy the quick links into
Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games
and there you go
you need to use a program like resco file manager or total commander and change the file properties to unhide them, so they will appear in the games folder, otherwise they will be in the folder but hidden.
Just recieved my new HD2 a few days ago.
Almost immideatly I realized that I've been tricked into buying a useless piece of plastic!!!
NO JAWBREAKER GAME!!!!
This is nothing short of a disaster. I've been a jawbreaker addict since I bought my first wimo phone 6 years ago (hp ipaq hw6115).
Is there a place I can download the original jawbreaker game (googling this only gave em a bunch of unattractive clones)?
It should be there. On my HD2 there was no Jawbreaker in the games option but i found it hiding in Windows through file explorer. Note that the name has changed to bubble breaker.

Good find. I was kind of unpleased with it not being there too, but it was definitely NOT going to make me not want this device.
Now how can I put it where it should be---------> in the games category? This is the US release, if it matters.

Go into the Windows directory and touch and hold the bubble breaker icon
when the option window opens click "Copy".... go find the games folder and touch and hold anywhere in the folder and click "Paste shortcut" when the options list opens.
Now you have a shortcut to the game in your games folder.....

Thanks. Worked for me. Note that the Games folder does not jump out at you;
once the bubble breaker short cut is located (under Windows waaaaaay down the list)
1: Tap and hold
2: Select copy
3: Go waaaay back up to Start menu Folder/Programs/Games
4: Tap and hold on any white area of the screen
5: Select paste
hope this helps others with this issue
