Hi folks!
I've htc tythan II (wm6), I'd like create some shortcuts to applications frequently used, is there a way to do it?
Thanks

where do u want to make the shortcut...just copy the application (exe format) from the location where u installed it and then goto the place u want to place the shortcut..and paste as shortcut..nw rename it what ever u want....and u are done

thank you for the reply
I did what you wrote me and everything is ok, but if I try create a new folder (in \windows\startmenu\) I don't see the folder, the same if I create in \windows\startmenu\programs\.
Thanks!

Nope u can create shortcuts for other icons in the Other tab...yet there is one way...search the DEV/HACK area for a thread .INK Shortcuts or some thing like that.
btw which shortcut do u want

Searching for the Wifi network discovery, looked in the windows folder does not give the right links.
I'll put out a search for .ink.
Tnx

here u go....its complicated alittle..but if u want to make a shortcut of any file (those that are in that thread)..just copy the location from the post and paste it on ur pc(in a new text file)...and save them as .lnk..now copy them to ur pc and check them out

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.

Unhide system files

How can I unhide system files in HD2?

In File Explorer, click "Menu" and then "Show all files".
That should do the trick

It does'nt work.
I tried to do what in "Leo Hints & Tips" for exp:
"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 to see the games listed."
I can't copy files as instructed (working with total commander) and if the files were copied I can't reach/see them.

I think you may have misunderstood the original instructions.
Open file manager (not total commander) and navigate to Windows folder.
Locate the file BubbleBreaker (it's 46K, not one of the others)
Highlight it and keep it pressed till you get the menu with "Copy" in it. Do Copy.
Scroll back to the top and go into "Start Menu\Programs\Games".
Do "Menu, Edit, Paste Shortcut".
As I'm a pedant, I renamed the shortcut, removing the "Shortcut to" prefix.
Then, when you go Start Menu & then Games, BubbleBreaker is in there.
Now I've just done that exactly as typed above, whilst describing it for you, so it should work for you.
Let us know if you still have a problem.

Hi,
It works!
Now I got the idea.
Thanks.

Don't know what to say mate - it's in my Windows folder. There's a bunch of files called eT9.Rhodium.xxxx and then eT9MyWords is after them (directly after eT9DeadKeys).
I take it you did unhide system files as previously suggested? (I'm not sure if you need to do that for the games suggestion).

I have a slide deferent question. I would like to delet exe file from thew windows folder but I can't because I can't select Delete, have anyone some advice?

delete exe file
it has been awhile since i have done this, also some files are impossible or almost impossible to delete.
if you have been trying to do it from ur phone, go instead, to your active sync/windows mobility center. click file mgt and browse contents of device, navigate to the exe u want to delete. i have done it before and it has worked on several ocassions. be careful on what u r deleting, you may want to do a google on it b/f u do it
if this does not do it, i got no clue hope this helps someone
johncmolyneux - special thanks to u for the hidden games trick, ? are there any other hidden games in the hd2 winmo 6.5 professional, or where i may find out?

Thanks johncmolyneux,
Got there in the end - I had shown system files, but seems like it somehow "reverted".
Cheers!

Quick link folders?

Is it possible to add folders to the quick links . I would like to set up some groups of related apps.
thanks for any advice

bump. I want this too.

maybe u can try go to
/window/star menu/Program (*Copy the 'Program' , then go back to /stroage card, paste the shortcard)
then inside 'Program' u can create a folder and then put the file u wan together. u also can copy ur app on ur stroage card to this folder. (if copy files or app then paste inside 'Program' MUST BE 'PASTE SHORT CUT'
I do this for my office file, cos i have a lot of price list and item need using exel and word, so i can create quick link on my home tap ^^
hope this will help u.

Erm not 100% sure what you are suggesting?
I tried making a shortcut to the games folder in the program folder. I could then add this onto the quick links but sadly when I click on that it just gives an error. I guess its trying to execute a program as opposed to just firing up the shotcut.
This would be handy as I want nice and quick access to games but can't really have them all linked on the quick links lol.

I did read how to exactly do this in the blackstone forum but cant for the life of me rememember how to do it.

I have done some searching around the forum and can't seem to find anything helpful. This should surely be fairly easy. Quick links to folders would be very handy.

Removing Start Menu Icons?

Hello!
I am returning to Windows Mobile from Android. I purchased a T-Mobile Dash 3G, and am liking it so far, however I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to remove a lot of the applications from the start menu because they're really cluttering things and I want them gone. I can't access them through the File Explorer. When I find something, for example TeleNav, that I want to delete, the option to delete it is grayed out.
If anyone knows of a tweak, a hack, or a .cab I need to install to get this done, I would be GREATLY apprecative!
Have an awesome day!

here is the app called totalcommander download it install from phone. then you can go into the windows folder and then go into the start menu folder and from there you can create new folders to uncluter or delete what you dont want.

You can remove elements in Windows/Start Menu
You can also make folders and sub-categorize items to make the start menu clutter free.
The file explorer all ready on your device will support this.
You can change the start menu order using a registry editor and editing HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu\Order

can i change the folder icon?
