I have a simple htc HD2 and I am fond of reading . Is there any best reader for HD2. I heard that the t-mobile one gets a official htc e reader. how can I get that? And yes I copied navipanel.exe on my start menu folder now it won't go. how could I?
I don't know about the reader. I just get my books in PDF and use Adobe reader, so I didn't bother looking for another reader.
about the navipanel, there was something about it here if I remember well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
unless you mean you couldn't delete it.. please provide more info
Yes Thanks. By Navipanel I meant that I copied navipanel.exe from windows folder to startmenu folder. It is t=in the same place. But In my start menu I see Navi Panel with no icon and it is not working too so I wanted to remove it from my list of start menu. But I can not.
Put Navipanel back to default location & shourtcut in StartMenu will function again.
You could try deleting shortcut with file explorer from within Start Manu.
As for book reader I use uBook a bit as handles quite a few formats. It is actually quite good once you get use to the menu layout & get some basic preference settings they way you like.
For a reader have a look on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581516

Exactly. You don't copy EXEs to start menu, you copy shortcuts, much like on PC.
when you long press on an item in file explorer, "create a shortcut" should be available. copy that to start menu.
if you have trouble deleting the file, it might be still set to "system" or "ROM" in attributes. Try total commander, it has an option to change attributes.
as for e-reader. there are a lot of options. I followed the link in thepost above and the only thing I should add is that e-reader's new page is this:
http://www.ereader.com/ereader/software/browse.htm
this is probably not the official e-reader.
there's probably an HTC e-reader app/tab on this site. I'm sure about the tab, but not sure about the app, though I remember seeing it somewhere.
[edit] tried the above reader, you have to create an account and purchase books. not what I had in mind. There's another one called Freda, it's supposedly good.

for WinMo AllReader supports the largest number of document formats, and it's really user-friendly
for Android CoolReader is the closest equivalent of the above

Does anyone have a hack that would allow me to view and save data files at a lower folder than the first level?
I.e. my folder structure is \Personal\Financial\ but excel and word can only see files stored under \Personal\ and not the next folder down. I need to be able to access this second level from within the application.
Would be a great help to me.
If you haven't installed Mad Programmer's dialog changer, you're not using your pda properly.

Thanks vijay555 but this is not in relation to installing apps.
There is a particular problem in WM2003 whereby if I store for example my pocket excel files in the folder:
\Financial\Spreadsheets\
I cannot access this folder from Pocket Excel but only from File Explorer. Pocket excel will only show the files existing in the folder "Financial" here. It means that when I create a new excel (or any other document) from within the application, I have to save it to the "financial" directory first, then manually move it to the next folder down.
Same applies to Pocket Word, Listpro etc files (any files in fact).

pauldcullen: although the link I gave is talking about installing cabs and stuff, Mad Programmer's dialog changer hooks into the OS and changes all of the rubbish OS dialogs (that only allow you to see My documents etc) and replaces them with the more advanced kind that let you navigate anywhere.
The link I gave is a useful one on installing the app itself, because Mad Programmer's website is generally Japanese. But hopefully, try installing the app and you should be able to navigate anywhere for saving files.

Ensure you use the right version for your OS.

thanks a lot I'll give it a shot - any stability problems with it?
I've never had any and used it for > 1year on both Wm2003 and Wm5.

vijay I've installed it and it seems to work for SAVING new files into a sub-directory which in itself is great!
However, as soon as I OPEN pocket excel etc, I cannot see these files in the subfolders, only those in the parent folder - any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Paul
Hmm, I just noticed that...
It seens mad programmer only hooked the saving, not opening dialogs.
Not the best option I know, but I never open files using word, I use gsfinder to locate them and open directly by double clicking.
Other then that, I don't think Word was "designed" to show the subfolders as you've got them configured. PITA I know.

I want to be able to select my video and music from the today screen . Is there a way I can put a short cut there ?
At the moment I have to select start,pictures & videos,my docs, videos and scroll to the file I want to play.
Maybe I need to install a jukebox or something huh?
You need either a launcher (like iLauncher) today plug-in or something like WisBar Advanced 2 & WA Desktop.
equally you can use PHMTrayLaunch to do this...
There're many Today launchers. Please check out my review of iLauncher ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=561&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ) and the links back to my earlier reviews. I've thoroughly compared most available solutions; based on these reviews, you'll be able to choose the best for you.

Personally, I like wm5newmenu.
hey thats brilliant guys thank you thank you . yeehaw

How do I install this ?
presumably I unzip it first on the PC and then transfer all the files to a folder (which one) on the wizard and run the exe file from there ??
could you spell it out for dumbo here please
pretty straight forward really.....download----unzip----place application somewhere on you device----launch it----place a checkmark in "Enable TrayLaunch".
Once you have that done click on Add and make shortcuts to whatever you want....i.e. a shortcut to PIE might be like this \Windows\InternetExplorer.lnk or a shortcut to the Midlet Java Manager would be something like \Windows\jmm.exe
Personally I have the PHMTrayLaunch stored in the \Windows directory then I created a shortcut to it in PHMTrayLaunch so I can call it easily...
Is there a desktop program that creates Pocket PC shortcuts? Just enter what you want it to point to, and the icon for it, and it spits out the file?
By "just enter what you want it to point to" do you mean you type in the full path?
I have written a utility that creates the lnks for the full path, although no icons are created: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2102312&postcount=117
That's pretty much perfect! But does anyone know how to incorperate a .ico?
Whatever icon the program has will be included when the shortcut is placed onto the device...
I see... so there's no way to include an icon in just a shortcut, huh? Interesting
There probably is I just haven't worked it out!
I have worked out how to do it now: http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2006/07/customising-icons-on-your-ppc-shortcut.html
Problem is, it needs the icon to be stored in a dll...
Huh... fair technique, I suppose, although having a third file aside from the program and shortcut can make things hard to manage when file numbers grow to the double digits. Thanks for looking around... good find!
l3v5y.. thank you very much. the app is very useful.

Shortcut Creator crashes under Windows Mobile 6 Standard
Just to let you know - I was able to install this application on my phone (Verizon SMT5800 smartphone, running Windows Mobile 6 Standard (i.e., no touch screen). However, when I ran the application, it crashed immediately, and locked the phone up so that I had to take the battery out in order to reboot the phone and regain control.
there is an OLD WinCE program called 'Launch Pad' that does this, but will it run on a smartphone? I guess you could try and see. check this link:
http://www.onhiatus.com/Software/
this requires 'Pocket C' runtime here:

HI, i have seen on this WM6.5 that i can't add any program (ie one thats not say google maps or one of those big companies)
i can run the program via file manager and clicking the application .exe
the phone still wont see the application as a program.
i had a jasjam before and the prgrams i am trying to add worked fine but now on 6.5 cant do this.
the only way is to run these apps, well not run but to get a short cut, is on a program like CHome but then i move away from HTC sense start up display that is nicer looking.
like i said the programs work fine, just can see them in programs.
anything that will help?
cheers
have you posted a shortcut to your windows\start menu\programs\
I'm running 6.5 and any time I have a program installed on my sd card or trying to run an .exe from the storage card (or even if the .exe is just in another folder) thats what I do and it shows in my start menu or whatever subfolder I put it in in the start menu.

Yeap, in programs folder as an .exe, other folders like goggle maps are there too. The programs still don't show or work. Should i not try and get an .cab version? since looking into this takes you into trying to understand a pda rather than a PC. The .exe files still cant be seen, i have to run them via file explorer, although now loaded a short cut via button strokes so am using that to make the task a little easier.
I ran a .cab file on another program and found it distributed files with icons and other th9ngs that seem to integrate better into the host rather than an .exe
Also been looking at all the apps these phones can have its amazing.
I have one on my phone that can change a set of traffic lights in my city!
With authorisation of course, its my job, just saying how the PDA has really started to take off. become the real modern Swiss army knife.
Hi,
few days ago a friend showed me a great OSx functionality - Smart Folders.
Basically it is a "virtual" folder, does not really contains files but rather an active search folder.
Let say you want to have a place that will display only word/text documents created within last 5 days, or only doc files.... regardless of where they really are.
Can you get such functionality in Windows?
I know "search" pretty good but using it instead of set folder, means we have to perform search every time we want to display files we look for,
There's a thing in Windows (going all the way back to Vista) called "Saved Searches" although I've never met anybody who uses it. Open Explorer and run a search. Use the Search tab on the Ribbon to refine the search, if you want - search by date, or size, or exclude certain file types, or whatever - and then click Save Search. Specify the location you want the saved search to appear in under the filesystem (defaults to <username>\Searches). It will appear as a special sort of washed-out folder icon with a search icon superimposed on it.
You can also create "virtual folders" that combine the contents of several real folders; that's all that libraries are. It's easy to create your own, too. Probably not what you were referring to, though.
Libraries ARE smart folders.... Apple playing 'catch up' again!!!!!
As described, I actually thing the saved search folders are much closer... but yeah, as I said, that's been in Windows since 2006.
The only thing I find annoying with "saved search" that I cant' set it to update on intervals. It is only updating when I open the folder - this means I have to wait
I do not know Mac OS at all but form what I seen it looked to be working "more user friendly" on Mac Pro.
