Ok I downloaded TomTom and its an execubtle, so it doesn't install, my question is how do i make a shortcut?
It's too much of a hassle to goto finding it, I've tried putting it in program files but a no go.
Anybody got any other suggestions?

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...

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.
http://ike-dats.thez.info/public/startpanel.rar
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

Here you are!!!
you need to open pocketrar from the programs folder and resign .rar files to pocketrar. then it should pick them up when in file explorer.
Try Resco File Explorer version 7.05 from www.resco.net. Could open ZIP & RAR format. The best file explorer yet!

You could try 7-zip for WM. It's alpha, but it's incredibly functional and works fine for the most part. Just make sure that you associate it with RAR files in the settings panel. And FYI, I've gotten PocketRAR to work by simply using a hardware OK button during the part where the OK button is inaccessible and the menus don't work. After that, it's fully functional again.
7Zip v9.07 and WinRar v4.65 for Personal computer!

Is there any way to change the default page from att.net? It would be nice if you could set it to a homepage of your own choice. I have opera homepage set to Yahoo mobile version, but it does not use that homepage from the TF3D tab...WTF.
Val
Have the same problem here.
no news????
No one knows how to solve the problem??
Yeah, it's easy. You have to edit the file in /Application Data/Manila/InternetPortal-en-US.xml.
Copy it to your storage card, plug in the phone to your computer with usb as storage device. Open the file, change the NavigateUrl="att.net" to NavigateUrl="what ever website you want", save it, then overwrite it back to Application Data/Manila/
Also you can do it with Total Commander on the phone. Find the file. Hold down on it and go to properties, uncheck Read Only and System, click ok. Click File at the bottom, click on >>>>>, click on Edit. Change the NavigateUrl= (same as above), click ok (upper right corner). Hold down on the file, click Properties, check Read Only and System, click ok
That's it!

Hi. I have a WWE ROM there are additional files "InternetPortal.xml" in the Windows directory for different languages. So check there for your language. If there is no InternetPortal-it-IT.xml file, just create one. I think this will work.

Try this then mate...
Open file explorer and navigate to the windows folder.
Find the file BTManager and copy that
Navigate to the \windows\start menu\programs
Edit, "Paste Shortcut" in there (you'll probably want to rename the shortcut as it's called "Shortcut to BTManager")
That should do the trick

Great THX a lot!
Incidentally I have deleted both folders (programs) in Start menu folder
What would be the easiest way to recover all shortcuts (without reinstalling ROM again)?

Rom - 1.66.405.2 (76641) wwe
Here you go mate. It's the program folder (from \windows\start menu\) zipped up.
Now be careful with it in future lol
Thank you
I can now add programs to quick links, but I still can't see anything inside start menu

Bizarre. Have you restarted since copying the shortcuts? (I don't actually believe that it will help, but it may)
I have restarted, it didn't help
There was another folder inside start menu (beside programs).
I am missing that one too Could you send me this one too, please

The settings folder is empty for everyone, that's why I just gave you the programs folder. It's thrown me that you can't see anything in your start menu, even though you can add quicklinks. Maybe a hard reset is called for. That will definitely fix it, but it's obviously a pain.
I'll play a bit with [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start]
