can anyone tell me how to set or remove app/program defaults please?
unsure what you mean be app defaults. If you mean to change preferences and settings that affect specific app functions, then i'd first try the menu button while the app is open and in focus. It's the capacitive button to the left of the physical home button below the screen.

settings -> applications -> Manage Applications -> (select app) -> clear defaults.
will remove that program from being automatically selected for a particular action.
i.e. homebutton's homescreen, or the program used for internet links, etc.

When I receive a phone call the handsfree will start automatically, so it's awkward around people....how can I disable this function and start handsfree only when I want ?
thanks in advance and sorry 4 my poor english.
You mean automatic answer?
Is this what your after:
Goto Start > Settings > Press Menu > All Settings > Personal > Phone
(maybe a quicker way of getting there??)
Click on the More tab and untick Headset in automatic pickup.

Try selecting it and exit the menu, then going back into the menu and un-selecting it again.

I installed ADW and LP to check them out, but disabled them temporarily (I thought) till the weekend when I'd have more time.
Now I am unable to get either LP or ADW to take over as the default launcher. Any ideas?

Go to settings, applications, manage applications. Then press menu and set filter to show all. Find twlauncher, open it, hit clear defaults button. And bam!

Isn't there a home switcher from the market that puts the shortcuts in your applications or home screen

Yeah, just search for "Home Switcher". Its a little app that scans all of the available UIs you have installed, you can switch effortlessly between them, and change which one is the default.
I have completely forgotten where to find the setting to hide various apps on the app menu. Can someone refresh my memory, cheers
On 1.2.1

Thanks for that. Easy when you know how hey
I know you can create shortcuts to the main Settings menus (battery use, bluetooth settings, etc.) by just long-pressing the screen -> Shortcuts, but I need to create a shortcut to a submenu (specifically Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode)
This is on a Droid 2 Global. Anyone know how I can do this? I have LauncherPro and I know you can make shortcuts with it but programming those shortcuts seems pretty complicated. Also I know you can make additional shortcuts using the LauncherPro "Activities" menu but I can't find the "Network Mode" settings in that list either.
Any ideas?
Anyone got any ideas? I'm guessing the relevant process will be something like "com.android.settings.networkmode" but I'm not sure
I use Quick Settings app to get there honestly... though it's still a few steps. Long Press Search Button > Tap Mobile Data > Tap networks.
I'm not sure of another way..
I want to create a settings shortcut that goes to the settings menu, but whenever I try to, it navigates to the actual settings and forces me to choose a sub-setting.

Go into the app drawer, long press on settings and drag it to the homescreen? Or long press on the homescreen, add an app and add the settings app? You're going to add>shortcut>settings shortcut which requires a specific setting. You need the actual settings program.
It depends on your home launcher. I know with adw pro all I do is tap and hold on empty space on home screen. Then select create custom activity and choose from there. But what you wanna look for in your home screen is to add an activity. Activities are sub classes of programs. So you would pick the settings app then select the activity of said app which you want.

Yes, to add the settings app to the homescreen you drag it out from the app drawer.

I think, from reading the OP, they are trying to access a sub setting directly from the home screen.

Nah it's the opposite, he's being forced to access a sub-setting when he just wants to launch general settings

His problem is he is being forced to select a sub-setting, which he does not want. He just wants a link to the settings app - from there he can access all the sub-settings.
Either way though, all options are now listed for him.
