Hello,
Is there a parameter to pass ":MSCONTACTS" to go directly to an individual contact? I'm interested in adding start menu shortcuts for some of my favorite contacts. Thanks in advance...
As far as I know there's no direct way to launch a contact. However I'm currently working on a new version of Taskbar launcher which allows to launch contacts directly. I also can easily add a command line parameter so you can launch your contacts through a link....
When you use WM 6.5's "search" program, you can parse through and launch contacts individually, so I'm sure there's a way to do it. I just don't know how it does what it does....
You can connect to POutlook, parse through contacts and call the Show() function and you see the original contact dialog. At least that's how I do it in my app and let me guess: search function is doing just the same. I don't think you can do this through a simple :MSCONTACTS command line parameter....
this might help

Create a direct link for a certain telephone nr/sms/mms/email/more..
In a way it's easy. Start reading a thread I created specific for it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623195
In short, start a text editor (no unicode) like notepad and type ;
39#"\Windows\cprog.exe"-url tel:0123456789
where 0123456789 = any telephone number.
Make sure you press the ENTER key after your phone nr. and before saving the file!
Give it a name. Rename the file from YourContactName.txt to YourContactName.LNK (capitals are not nessecary, it's just for clarity).Another example;
Direct SMS (I called it SMS2.lnk);
51#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
I've been amazed too...! Once. Now I have MortScripts with icons

I wonder, if this could work with 6.5.x..
@Senax
With your approach you can directly call a hard coded number or send message, right!? With the method I'm using however you can directly open the contact page for a particular person, see the contact picture and choose whether you want to make a call, write message or email etc.
I mean this one:

go2contact is what you want. It's a really cool, tiny, super fast cmd app.
I added a dynamic contact shortcuts page to my HS++ theme (I can manage them on-the-fly in the Today screen) by means of Mortscripts that use go2contact and ContactRetriever (this last conponent is C# which makes this process slower... but it seems like Cyclone is learning C++ so there may be a faster version ).

seems nice, but in what language is the beta?
This is Russian; but he stated it is multilingual so I think actual app is in english.
some letters are in Russian; no icon to exit and no setting ...
Indeed it seems to be set to russian encoding by default. You can exit the app by pressing central Dpad (ok) button.
You can change the settings by editing the config file. The config file however is in azbuka so it is a no go - lets wait for somebody to translate it to english.
Use cfg a file for settings.
Exit from programm - center button

Insert contact numbers when composing SMS messages.
I created this simple application because sometimes when i send contact details to other phones using vcard, they cannot seem to receive it. Also, it's very frustrating to copy/paste contact details from the contacts window to the new sms window.
I hope this will help other members too
Download it HERE
great work..i some times have need for it
Hi Oldsap,
I appreciate the work. I actually use this old version from Ondrej at airfagev that was built for WM2003 I believe but works perfectly on WM 6.1. I like it because it adds an option in the main contacts area on the menu bar itself (not a separate application). Here's the description:
This free Contacts Add-On has been inspired by RJV SendContact. Since the SendContact has many drawbacks like you can't use T9 search from list of Contacts, etc., Ondrej has developed this and shared it to airfagev as a freeware.
After installing the app, you should see Send via email/SMS added to your contacts menu. This utility also allows you to select which contact info you want to send like Name, Mobile No., Work No., etc. Thanks to Ondrej.
hey oldsap, thanks muchly for the Insert Contacts app, it's certainly easier than faffing about trying to copy & paste!
gadgetshrink, i've installed the contacts menu app a few times on WM6 Touch but cannot find anyway to activate / use it on the phone...
any help? maybe i'm missing something?

same here. didn't work on my dash
I would like to launch some applications via the startup menu, and some of them simply need to be running in the background to function properly.
Is there a tag on the shortcut like -minimize that will work for all applications or does the specific application need to support it?
Thank you so much
Try Quickmenu....its nice start menu/task manager it has option to exclude programs from closing when u click on X
you could create a simple mortscript that calls the today screen (maybe with a delay) and make sure the shortcut to it is the last one in startup.
Yep, you can use MortScript to do what you need. I think it's the only way because I needed to do it also. I don't use the script anymore so I deleted it, but if you search the MortScript manual for 'minimize' you should find what you need.
I think its dependant upon the app.. but i have used -s successfully before.. you may also want to try to search MSDN
Give a try to the one attached here........

I assume you want to run an app from \Startup. Your question is a little confusing. Anyway, it will be app dependent as far as the functionality using command lines in a .lnk. I do not know of a general command that would work for this as the point of shortcuts is to open the app. If the app is not intended to run in the background on its own, it will open like normal.
What are you trying to do exaclty? Perhaps that would help answer your question a bit more.
Is there a way to force a shortcut to minimize an application when launched?
i need this too.. for UL links..

Hi roisagi.
Latest version only supports in English and Japanese.
Language cannot add.
Thanks.
This looks a lot like iContact.. Did you use their open source code?
the official link for the website is down
Hi Floxzie.
No, I do not use iContact source code.
This source code is completely our original.
The touch feeling is so different.
PCM and iContact are freely and really usefull ... Why a shareware ? So it's your choice ...
Hi Caramel.
If the difference is not felt, it is not worth shareware.

Hello everybody,

Presentation video or yrgo tutorials
More screenshots
So what's new:
New contacts editor - you can add or edit contacts (deleting is not implemented yet). Contact can be added by context menu under the unknown phone number in the call list or the context menu under the "phone number" item i the contacts. Editing is enabled thru the contact details.
New Today plugin that allow to run yrgo like on the today plugin. It is not exactly this - the Today plugin checks whether it is shown and then it automatically activates yrgo. In this case, if you press the "Red HW button", it will force you to the Today screen where rgo today plugin activates yrgo. Lot of users was looking for similar behavior. This option is disabled by default and you have to enable it manually - go to the "Settings->Today->Items" and there disable all today plugins and enable just yrgo plugin. That's it.
New gadgets:
Contact - allow to create an unassigned icon on the desktop where the contact can be chosen later (in non design mode) by clicking on the icon. The contact can be then changed any time by the context menu under the contact.
Write SMS - the same behavior as the Contact gadget
Application - the same
Settings item - the same
So expected "simple upcomming appointments" gadget - is on the bottom of the gadgets list
Simple tasks - also on the botto of the gadgets list
New system of searching long lists (introduced in the last beta) was improved so it should much better now.
The bluetooth Gadget now switches between On and Off only... the Discavoarble is accessible thru the context menu.
"Snad to grid on/off" option for the design mode.
In the settings the contacts search behavior can be changed: yrgo may search in all information about the contact (address, email, etc.) or just in the name (to improve the performance).
long tap on "0" in the contacts allows to write "+"
In the settings the option of disabling "Message was sent msg box."
Some changes in the SMS so I should be shown to you correctly (but I haven't tested it)
I did some change in alarm gadget so it shouldn't show you incorrect data (you have to test it )
Maybe also something else
I hope that's all.
Enjoy it!
