Creating a shortcut for your clock

Just in case anyone uses an aftermarket programme for their date, like one of those zodiac ones or just doesn't use the date feature on the Today screen here is what you need to do:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppc2k/html/ppc_tcuts2.asp
Pretty easy to do, and allows you to add the shortcut to a programme folder or even then assignable to one of the buttons.
The shortcut itself when typed out will be:
18#clock clock.exe,16
save as clock.lnk
Hope this helps some to anyone that hasn't been able to create a shortcut to the clock by pasting.

Create shortcut

I'm trying to find out how to create a shortcut on a TytnII. I can see from the Today screen options that there is a shortcut section which can be loaded onto the Today screen, but how do you place shortcuts into here.
I've tried creating a shortcut of my Copilot 6 and placed it into various folders but it never appears on the home page.
Thanks

Creating a document shortcut on launcher

I have a document that I always access and I want to be able to quickly access them via the Home launcher. Is it possible?
On the side, is their an appliaction where I can put multiple apps in different categories?
Launcher only allows quite a few, I need to add more but I dont really want to install a today plugin just for this, I will be accessing it via soft button or clicking on HTC launcher, then clicking on shortcut there which will then start that launcher ap with multiple tabs/folders (office, media etc..)
Im using Quickmenu now but I cannot seem to move the shortcuts on the progams folder (example calculator> office folder) it warns me it mite give me problems.

I kinda sovled this by using Ultimate launcher

HTC HD2 Call Forward

Love my HD2, but am wondering if anyone knows of a shortcut to get to call forwarding or an app to turn on and off call forwarding, without having to go through all the screens and toggle?
TY
Andrew

I would like to know this aswell, if anyone out there can help ??

any news on this one? It woul be a very handy app.

If you use Launcher Pro as your launcher then you can open that page with an activity shortcut.
Long-hold the home page to add a shortcut and go:
Shortcuts, Activities, Dialer, Call forwarding
It still takes a few seconds to populate that page, but it has to get the information from your provider every time you start it, so there's nothing you can do about that. It is, however, a shortcut to that page.
If you don't use Launcher Pro then I don't believe you have the ability to add activity shortcuts.

I know its been a while since this was requested. I have just changed my car and the new one has an old factory fitted Motorola startac fitted as a factory option. Rather than mess and fit a new hands free kit I was wanting to forward my HD2 to the Startac.
I have just found the way to do what you require. Firstly use your file explorer (i used resco) to unhide hidden files. Then look in the windows folder on your device and look for CMcallforward. You should then be able to send this to your start menu. Im using Cookies Home tab so I was then able to add this as a quick link.
Hope this helps, cant get much better than a one button option

new "item" menu

Hi,
Coming from Windows Mobile and the "Manila" HTC Sense UI there - I miss the menu/shortcut where I had easy access to a selection of shortcuts to create a new sms/e-mail/appointment/task etc.
Is there any app or other way to create sometning similar - for instance as shortcuts on a home screen? I looked a bit at AnyCut, but I can't see how one can create such shortcuts from there...
Part of the problem here, I guess, is that I use quite a mix of software for these assignments (K9mail, Got To Do, HTC Calendar, HTC Messaging etc).
Any inputs are welcome, thanks!

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but when you press the customize button/ long click on the main homescreen near the bottom of that screen (Above folders) is Shorcut button where you can add shortcuts to the home screen Have a look in there and see if any of those are what you want

I think he wants a group of direct shortcuts to, for example, "compose new message", "add new appointment", etc..
Basically, a "new..." menu.
You could use LauncherPro (or ADWLauncher, I assume) to do it, as long as you're not married to your Sense widgets. Long-press on the desktop, shortcuts -> activities, and experiment from there.
You could bundle all the shortcuts together in a folder on your desktop and call it a day.
I wonder if there's a widget that can do it, though.

catachresistant is on the right track...

You can put shortcuts into folders with sense too....
