Hello everyone.
On the very bottom of the home screen Menu Button the first function is called Weather Demo, which I keep pressing by mistake when I pull up the menu for other stuff. Is there a way to remove this useless entry? There are no registry entries for it so it may be on an XML or ini file. Does anyone know its location and how to remove it?
Thanks much

Hey guys hope everyone is doing ok today, just got a quick question about the soft keys. I have just flashed my ROM to RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_G4_WWE its an excellent rom and would recommend it!
Just one thing tho i have CoPilot the sat nav prog on here and i like to set it to the left soft key so i can just load it quickly. Since i flashed the ROM when i press the left soft key it says "error opening shortcut or locating target filename" just wondering if anyone knows how i could fix this?
Many thanks
More info required.
How to you set the softkey? program or via registry hack? value?
well i set the softkey through the little softkey thing in settings and co pilot was in the list ok it just doesn't seem to work when i click the softkey. Is it a reg setting i need to change?
That is weird, the softkey software should work perfectly. Unless you move the thing away from the application start menu.
Anyway, take a look at the wiki at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
On the section "Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys"
For your case, set it up using the Softkey application, and go into the registry (with any reg edit software) and look at the value of
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open
See what is the value being set to.
If it is set to the shortcut, try setting it to the exact EXE file.
just want to know, if I want to add some shortcut to menu softkey, How do I do that. For instance, when I use the phone program, there are two softkey menus that are available. The left side is Contacts and the other one is Menu, I want to add my shortcut program inside that menu. Which registry I have to find? Thanks
I don't know which are the registry keys, but there are a couple of programs to do that. Try KeySwop for example.
soft key cpl.
or
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
@="anything_you_like'"
"Open"="\"\\Windows\\pocketcm.exe\""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
@="anything_you_like"
"Open"="\"\\Windows\\pocketcm.exe\""
if you need TWO instances of wm5newmenu for EACH softkey, you need to hexedit wm5newmenu.exe AND its cpl...then assign each instance(of wn5newmenu.exe) to appropiate softkey.

Hey Folks...
do somebody of you know which registry Hack must be set to avoid Device Lock via long pressed End-Key?
no reg hack required. you can change the function of the long press on the end key via the BUTTONS option in advanced settings, have a scroll through the options at the bottom.
Yeah, i saw this solution before in another thread....
Thx so far for your tipps
Hi,
copy the attached cpl file to windows directory and makes soft reset.
Then you have control panel long press end key in your system settings.

Hi,
As part of my customization process, I would like to disable some icons from the Setting menu's of WM6.5 (not TouchFlo).
I managed to remove a lot of icons through the registry settings in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Speech, by moving them to a non-existing group (Group=3). This works fine.
However, some of the icons in Settings/System do not appear below this registry key, such as External GPS, Encryption, Remove programs... Is there a way to remove these as well?
Alternatively, removing the entire Settings menu would also be fine. My first approach, deleting the Settings folder from \Windows\StartMenu causes the entire Start Menu to appear empty!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: I managed to remove the Encryption icon by ADDING an 'Encryption' key to the ControlPanel part of the registry. Other icons I haven't so far. I suppose the key lies in correct names.
How can I obtain the names for:
Managed Programs
External GPS
Error reports
Memory
Info
Country Settings
Regional Settings
Microsoft My PHone
Remove programs
Screen
Task Manager
Connection settings
??
Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo:HideSettings to 1 hides the Settings folder from the Start Menu. That fixes my problem for now!
I rather choose to "hide" my icons.
You can do this by changing the registry like this:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Encryption]
"Group"=dword:00000002
"Hide"=dword:00000001
This will hide the Encrption icon in the Settings panel. I use this on the Rhodium, Blackstone, Diamond etc. but it should also work on the HD2 I guess
mccune,
The "hide" could be done for entries that are present in HKLM\ControlPanel like Encryption. For those entries that DO NOT EXIST in ControlPanel but whose icons appear in Settings like "Microsoft My Phone", do you have any idea how to suppress them?
Thanks for your assistance.
Noticed there are also some numbers in that registry key. Guess you'll have to trial and error a little to see what number corresponds to what icon.
I'm still looking for a way to hide the "Managed Programs" icon ;-)
Perhaps this program can help you out.....either hide the icons or put them away in a folder......
This program only applies to WM6.5 and also just to the Start Menu. It's fairly easy to remove icons from the Start Menu, just delete the LNK file in \Windows\Start Menu\
The discussion was about the icons in Settings. Most of these files are CPL files.
mccune,
It's exactly that! The file underlying that icon is Windows\MyPhoneLauncher.cpl for the application "Microsoft My Phone". I tried a number of ways to rename the file, rename the extension CPL in CPL2, move the file to other folder, even delete the file in order to remove it from Settings/System but always failed.
The file appears protected as part of the ROM. This is the 2nd day I'm after this problem and I still see no light...
(I tried to use the tool JWMDIconChanger but it doesn't work. Thanks anyway.)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does anyone know the name of the .cpl file, or the name of the registry key in \HKey_Local_Machine\ControlPanel\, for "Managed Programs"?
I looked, but can't find anything that even remotely looks like "Managed Programs".
I have an HTC HD Mini with Manila 2.5.20131825.3 I am not sure which program I did uninstall and the quicklaunch icon asociated to that program become light grey.
Now when I clic on that icon a message appears sayin that "" file cannot be open...
Can anyone tell me on which file or registry key does the manila save the quicklaunch links so I can erase this entry because using the gui I cannot either remove it or add a new one instead. It is becomeng me crazy as hell.
Thanks a lot!!!!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Home
Key 0 is the 1st quick launch, I had something strange where it would not let me apply a shortcut, I'd select the program, ok it, but it would not change the icon or run it when tapped, turned out the reg key for that quick launch had disappeared somehow, I may have un-installed an app, but I cannot remember now, ended up exporting an existing key, renaming it using notepad on my laptop, then importing it again, worked after that
