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.

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.
Here's a funny one,I was missing the FM radio from programes ,it worked ok from windows so I copied it to Windows/start menu/programes,and for some reason does not work from there,any ideas please.

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.

I'm kinda confused. Where is it burried? What page that has all your other files?
It's not on the main Start page? Where do you have to navigate to get to it? Start>Media>Youtube. Help me out. Mebe get a screen shot of where you want it.
Well that is interesting... I do not have a media folder to select after i hit the start tab. The way i found it before was file explorer > windows > youtube

Sorry, I wasn't saying u have a media folder or should have one. Different Roms from Carriers and cooks have different folders. Be sure to check all folder in the start menue.
Since you found the youtube app here is how to get it on the start page. Very easy.
-In file explorer go to where the app is.
-long press on the app and copy it
-Now go to Windows>Start Menu>Programs
-when u get there press menu.
-scroll to edit and select paste
-close file explorer.
-hit start and enjoy
You can also creat new folders and nake ur own nedia folder and put all ur media apps there. just cut and paste instead of copy and paste.

Thank you!!! That worked perfect
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....
Hello there.
Ive been giving my hd2 a nice overhaul today and added a couple of apps which were not in a .cab format.
E.g just cpied all the program files over to the sd card. They both work fine but im having a problem linking shortcuts to the home screen quick links. Is there a program that lets you explore the entire folders to link them to quick links or a way around this. Ive had a browse and not really found anything helpfull. I have total commander and am able to edit the registry if that helps.
Thanks for replies in advance

I can make the shortcuts fine, its just pairing it up the the quick links, in HTC Sense.
For example, when you touch an empty quick link square there are three options, Program, Contact, and bookmark.
Maybe a program that adds a browse through folders option.
press and hold the executable, choose copy, browse to the windows/start menu/programs folder , press and hold, choose paste as shortcut and now it will show up when you do the quick link.

Thanks alot mate got it now
I'm trying to get shortcuts made to folders on my storage card and am having the hardest time. I want one that goes straight to "Movies" folder and I've tried using sktools shortcut manager and nothing shows up in the start menu though. If I just copy and paste a shortcut into start menu programs, then it doesnt launch and just says the file cannot be opened.......Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
press and hold on the music folder, choose copy, browse to windows/start menu press and hold, choose paste as shortcut. It will now show up for you to assign when you press a blank quick link

been searching for an answer to this and haven't gotten one yet.
i do exactly as instructed above (no problems if i am making shortcuts to individual exe, pdfs, etc.) problem is when making a shortcut to a folder (whether the folder is on the device or storage card makes no difference).
when i place a shortcut of a folder into the start menu it works if i 1) get to it via total commander 2)get to it by file explorer however it fails if 1) i get to it by pressing the start menu or 2) assign it as a quick link (get a message stating: "The file "XXXX" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.")
any ideas?
thanks!
HD2/TMoUS stock ROM
bump...anyone have ideas??
thanks!
I've the same problem! I can create shortcut to programs, a single file etc but can't create any shortcut to a folder.
When I clicked on the lnk for the folder in fexplorer or total commander, fexplorer will open with the folder listed. But if I clicked on the lnk from the launcher, the message : "The file "XXXX" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file." appeared. I tried to create another lnk shortcut to a file and put it in the launcher and it works perfectly. Just that it dosen't work when the lnk is for a folder. Strange..........

Hi samsamuel,
Thanks for your reply. I followed exactly what you had written on post #35. But it did not work either. One strange thing I've noticed is that the .lnk file I've created and pasted on \Windows\Start Menu\ will auto disappear by itself! To be exact, I highlighted the .lnk file I've created and paste it in \Windows\Start Menu\ folder. Under file explorer, I browse to \Windows\Start Menu\ folder and I can see the .lnk file there. I proceed to close file explorer and reopen it and browse to the same folder but the .lnk file had disappear all by itself!!!
