I have Goodlink 4.8 on my MDA. For some reason 'Contacts' in my Pocket Outlook is now pointing to my Good Contacts file, instead of the Pocket Outlook contacts. The Calendar, Tasks, Messaging go to the right files, instead of the Good equivalents. Is there a registry entry or something that I could edit to point Pocket Outlook back to its Contact information?
Basically, I want to be able to edit the Pocket Outlook contacts. I use them principally because that is where Voice Command and voice tags search.
I wonder if someone without Goodlink installed could tell me where their \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Pocket Outlook\Contacts.lnk points to.
Goodlink changes this to its own file and I'm trying to change it back.
I am running Goodlink 4.9.1.46
I am using POutlook Contacts in conjuction with Goodlink. Much better implementation that Goodlink contacts.
My shortcut has a defined target of :
poutlook.exe contacts
Thanks. That target doesn't cause anything to run when I use it, so I think Goodlink has messed with something else as well. I'm going to see what is involved in upgrading to 4.9, since you are successfully doing exactly what I want to achieve.

Let me look some more. There might have been a reg tweak also. It has been awhile since I set this up.
Thankfully, Goodlink for me will be going away soon in favor of corp push!

CRAP! Mine reverted to Goodlink for some reason today!
I have a buddy at work that has the original contacts.lnk. I am going to try his and see what happens. If they work, I'll let you know.

Found a solution.
Get Total Commander.
Go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Pocket Outlook in TCM
Copy\Move Tasks.lnk to Contact.lnk
Hold down on the new Contacts.lnk and select properties.
Go to the Shortcut tab and change poutlook.exe tasks to poutlook.exe contacts then click ok.
with Contacts.lnk still selected, open notpad and change MSTASKS to MS CONTACTS and the last set of digits to -10000
This should restore use of Poutlook contacts when you open from home screen or Start/Programs/Pocket Outlook/Contacts.
I have not found out how to change the soft key contacts from Goodlink Contacts to Pocket Outlook contacts yet.
Tried this but it didn't work for me. Interestingly, everytime I clicked the icon (which started Goodlink Contacts), it changed the .lnk target back to Goodlink!

Strange. The reason I had to figure how to change mine back was theat, for some reason, the links went back to Goodlink. Guess we'll se how long mine lasts this time. Had been working for months being able to access Pocket Outllok version of contacts.
Sorry.
My old solution
I used to use this solution, but i've ditched goodlink for DirectPush.
If you navigate in the registry to
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\
you can modify the string of one of the hardware keys to
"\Windows\poutlook.exe" contacts
That will launch Pocket Outlook Contacts. I have used my voice command key because i never use voice command.
Alternatively, you could create a shortcut that passes the argument -contacts when it executes poutlook.exe.
I hope that helps!
That worked! Thanks.
So strange....
Workaround to Change back to Pocket Outlook settings after installing Goodlink email
Workaround to Change back to your original Pocket Outlook settings after installing GoodLink email
1. Rename the files in attached images ( as I have renamed the files by prepending 1 in both "Mydevice\Program Files\GoodLink" and "Mydevice\Windows" ). This will allow you to use Pocketoutlook contacts as main contacts instead of goodlink contacts app. This change doesn’t impact the installed goodconacts application.
2. Change below settings to send sms directly by selecting a contact in Pocket Outllook. This workaround goes directly to Mobile SMS instead of GoodEmail.
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS\1 = GoodEmail.exe
Change to 1 = tmail.exe
3. Change below settings to have your Main Menu go directly to Pockect Contacts instead of Good Contacts.
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS\ 1 = GoodContacts.exe
Change to 1 = :MSPOUTLOOK contacts

Does anybody know if there is a small program that will enable pocket outlook to create a task from an e-mail. When I receive an e-mail for help from my desktop, all I have to do is drag the email to the tasks and it creates a task for me. This isn't easy with my Mogul. I didn't know if there was something that would help me with this. I know that PocketBreeze will do this inside of it's program, but I hate cluttering up my today screen with pocketbreeze. Thanks.
I am using spb Diary and pocket informant to track tasks ect..
I use pocket informant and call calendar to set up my tasks based on phone calls(the call shows up on calendar, need PI to convert the appointment to task and schudle the task).
I would really like to use onenote mobile as the default "in task" note app or something like it to add pics to the task or note or appointment.
try again

Hi,
I've installed pocket informant 8.5, in my opinion the best pim available, even if it's a little bit complex.
BTW pocket informant manage the contact too and I'd like to repristinate the original managment of the windows mobile contact program.
How can I do?
Thanks in advance.

From inside Pocket Informant...

My Informant
Roles/Views/Features
You can unslect contacts from there, to revert back to the WM contacts
Not sure where this belongs...if not here please let me know where.
I currently have OTP 6.5 lite installed with SPB Mobile Omnia. I need to install ACT for Windows on my phone. The problem is that when I do I get a message that states I need to turn off all other syncing software otherwise duplicates my occur. When I stop the relationship from my phone to my pc (outlook)and switch over to the ACT program all syncs fine. The problem is that I can no longer choose contacts to add into the contact pages for the SPB Omnia screens and the calander no longer displays my appt. and stuff.
How do I get ACT to interact with SPB so I can add the contacts and calendar to the SPB Omnia program.
