I Installed Resco File explorer and when trying to add registry add in it tried to install a theme file (.tsk) which opened the today management screen (where you can select different themes and select whats on the desktop.
Click the desktop tab (whats displayed on homescreen) and deselect HTC Sense then just tick what you want. At the top is the default windows mobile 6.5 homescreen plugin then all the program addons follow like co-pilot, mail, calendar etc then htc sense. Just choose your flavor..
I'm working at the moment but I'll try and elaborate more later, need to find a screenshot app first for pics.
Put any .tsk file on phone and run from explorer (Resco or otherwise) and the theme screen will show, select your pref (note you can not have HTC SENSE, Windows 6.5 Plugin enabled together, but plugins like calendar etc can without the aforementioned.
Hope this helps someone. (All HTC themed menu's n progs get disabled on deselecting HTC Sense but return on reselecting).

Or... click on Start/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Today/Items to access the menu you are talking about.
Sorry, have seen loads of people ask about this. Only had my phone around 4 hours. Just trying to help and do my bit. Mods you can close this thread. Sorry once again.
Hey, don't take it so personally! I wasn't putting you down in any way.
Keep posting what you find, I'm sure there is plenty more to discover with this phone.
Thanks mate.
Really loving it. Hope to contribute more once fully dissected. lol..
I've lost the shortcut where I can move order or remove Tabs on the Sense GUI after installing Co0kie. Anyone know how I can do this?
On the home screen, please Menu, Edit quick links... then tap to add/remove quick links, or hold and drag to rearrange quick links...
Is that what your looking for?
I don't think it is mate.
Go to the settings tab and select Personalise, and then Home Screen Tabs.
Thanks John!
Exactly what I need help with though the answers above don't work for me
HD2 with Cookie installed (I inherited it that way)
My menu doesn't have a Personalise Home Tabs and my Settings Tab doesn't have a Personalise option
I my attempts to find where to remove some of the tabs I've changed something so that on the home page instead of seeing the tabs I get cookies home tab
I would like to remove the cookies home tab and be able to edit/remove the standard home tabs
Any ideas ?
Does anyone know how to change the internet favorite icons on the HD2? I set my link and the icon shows a picture of an internet site that isn't the favorite.
Sometimes the picture doesn't even come up. It's still the empty black box with the name of the favorite in it.
After you set it as a favorite in the visual bookmarks, you have to shutdown the browser, then open it using the new tab. After that, it will show the first page of the site thats assigned to that tab.
If you want to get rid of the existing site on a tab, just long press on it then drag it to the edge till it turns red. Tab is now empty and ready for a new bookmark assignment.
Hope that helps
I tried that. It worked for most of the icons but there are a couple that keep putting up the Wikipedia page for a favorite that isn't Wikipedia. It's super annoying.
Is there way to totally remove the People's Tabs and go directly to ALL PEOPLE? I never use the People's Tabs because I have too many contacts I use all the time and always have to immediately press the ALL PEOPLE button to get to all my contacts, which is so annoying.
So, is there a way to go to all contacts directly and totally remove or by by-pass the People's Tabs?
Thanks
taking people tab off.
well, you can disable the tab by going to settings->personalize->home screen tabs, then unchecked People, then tap done.
this will relaunch the sense UI without the people tab.
to launch All People
remove a quicklink if you're quicklink is full,
click on an empty quicklink to open a link,
then add a People icon.

Yes that removed the People's Tab from the bottom of the Manila Home Screen Tabs, but that is not what I want. I want to launch ALL PEOPLE directly from that icon bypassing the useless PEOPLE/FAVORITES screen that shows-up first

No, like mentioined this is not what I want either, I want to use the People icon on the bottom Manila Home Screen Tabs.
i.m pretty sure you would need to rebuild the people manila files. (or create a whole new tab). Not an easy prospect!
What about that?
74. Add All Contacts to Home Screen Left Softkey
By default the left softkey on the the Sense home tab is coded to Phone which is pointless and a waste because you can get to the same Phone page by pressing the Send hardware key. Change it to the All People page (eliminating 2 taps) by using the following reg entry:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
HomeLSKText = Contacts
As an alternative, you could consider just having an "all people" soft key on the home page (you'd still need the people tab enabled for this to work though.)
Before the bashing starts, I have used the search function, always do, but unless the title is done proper its very difficult to find what you are looking for.
Now to what I am looking for, if it exists.
As much as many of us love the animation on the HD2, its laggy and battery hog.
Has any one made a cab or can they make one that simple disables the animation part of the home screen, I know its clowdy out side i dont need to spend 20 seconds watching the clowds roll over my screen before the button I pressed actually works.
Hope this make sense, I want the weather to still show and so forth just get rid of the floating clouds or the windsheild whiper and so forth.. it will increase speed and increase battery.
Thank you in advance
Co0kies Home Tab adds a button to turn off the weather animations. Just add a quick link and it is in that first list. Not sure about a stand alone button cab.
I haven't been on a stock rom for some time but can't you just switch the wallpaper to an animated (nonweather) one? This will keep the clouds from popping up. Under settings, personalize...
in a registry editor browse to
HKCU/software/HTC/manila
Find the reg entry Home.WallpaperMode
set it to
0 for animated weather
1 for animated wallpaper
2 for plain (no weather)

k i have asked for this before, how do i access these reg files and in what program do I edit them? do you edit on the phone? or on pc then transfer it back in?
I want the weather to still appear just get rid of the animation part.
To the person up top who said to use settings, the animated wall paper still uses resources. I want to cut down on that.
and I dont want to add a whole program and change around the home page.. just a simple add on to disable or enable weather animation thats all.
Although the registry is technically a bunch of files, you won't see them as files. Think of it simply as 'the registry', not registry files.
For the easiest way to edit, download ceregistry editor. It runs on the pc, connects to your phone and you edit as you see fit.
For editing on the phone, I use resco, but its not free. Total commander is free and will do it, there are several others too.
ceregistry editor on the pc is the easiest tho.

Great info.. can you provide more step by step directions on how to use ceregistry? for first time so I dont mess it up. Im new but not that new, ive messed with reg files on the pc, its the saving transfering prat that messes me up with phone and you say connect phone, but once connected, how do move the reg file from phone to pc if i dont know were it is on phone to move it? see what I mean?
you dont move it, as i said its not files yuou can see, its a live set of data. You access it in the same way you might, for instance, access a database of names and addresses. You look at / edit the data, not move the files about.
download and install ceregistry editor
connect your phone
open cereg editor
click the very left hand button on teh toolbar (or click connection - connect , , or press f1.)
you see a tree view down the left, that is your main keys.
you are looking for HKCU/software/htc/manila (HKCU is short for HKey current user) so browse through it like you would a list of folders on the pc, till you find HKCU/software/htc/manila
in the list on the right, find home.wallpapermode and double click it to edit, , change the 0 to a 2, click ok, thats it, restart your phone, job done.
(if you are on a stock rom click tools - unlock registry if you get 'cannot edit registry' error)

give it a try, its basic stuff, no need to be fearful.
re: static weather, not that I know of. maybe theres an app that changes wallpaper in response to weather, but nothing I've heard of.

well you'll still see the little weather indicator right under the clock...you just won't see the full-screen effects like the big clouds, sunburst, raindrops, etc.

do what the guy mentioned..but choose your own wallpaper maybe one you downloaded...it wont be animated hence it wont drain your battery if you edit the registry...when you want to show off to all the lame people with iphones you wont be able to.
hate looking for things like this
can someone add this to the sticky ???!!! very useful info !!!!
