8125 Left Softkey Changed Itself.

Hi there I have a really weird problem, the left softkey on my 8125 changed itself last night while I slept. It is now "Phone" instead of "Calender". I liked it as Calender and I find it useless to have it as Phone when the phone key below it does the same thing. I went into HKCU/software/windows/today and there is no keys option to change. I don't get it. Anyone know a solution? I want my Calender button back.
With your registry editor - goto the today key you mention - create new key 'keys', in keys create new key '112'. Then create 2 new string values in the 112 key. 'Default' with value 'menu' and 'Open' with value ''windows\calendar.exe'' then turn off device with power off key (saves registry values) then power on. (Soft reset often does not save values)

Thank you so much that did the trick, I was just having a hard time wraping my head around it. I just wish I could figure out why it changed itself in the first place.

registry location for soft key text[nevermind]

Sorry, but I can't find this out anywhere. I want to change the color of the text that my softkeys correspond to, but I can't find any documentation on where these registry values are located. Any help is appreciated. This is only for the bottom "title bar" not the top, as I've already located the top.
Thanks.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>TODAY>KEYS
112 is the left soft key. if you want to customize the right soft key create a key called 113. Inside 113 create a new string value and title is "Default" and set the value as whatever you want to call it (ex. Messenger).
create another string value with the title as "Open" and set the value as the path to the executable file you're wanting to open.
I had seen that reg tweak somewhere before, but it didn't address the color of the soft key text. I appreciate the response, but is there another value I can create that will change the color? Or a different area? I tried using UI tweaker but I'm blind, and someone pointed it out to me. Thanks.

How to avoid Device Lock with End-Key?

Hey Folks...
do somebody of you know which registry Hack must be set to avoid Device Lock via long pressed End-Key?
no reg hack required. you can change the function of the long press on the end key via the BUTTONS option in advanced settings, have a scroll through the options at the bottom.
Yeah, i saw this solution before in another thread....
Thx so far for your tipps
Hi,
copy the attached cpl file to windows directory and makes soft reset.
Then you have control panel long press end key in your system settings.

Is it possible to change Softkey on Start Menu?

Hello,
As the title says, is it possible to change the soft key "Lock" to "Back"?
I think it is more natural to have "Back" button here.
how can I make the change?
I think there must be a registry hack to do this, and I have searched through the forums, but I have not found a solution yet.
I disabled Sense, but this "Lock" button does not go away, so, I suppose this may not be a registry hack of Sense, but it is rather WM6.5.
Can someone shed some light on my problem? Thank you.
I like new Sms better
1. Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\\Manila key in your registry
2. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuRSKPath, add it.
3. Edit the value of LandscapeMenuRSKPath to read: \windows\tmail.exe
4. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuRSKText, add it.
5. Edit the LandscapeMenuRSKText value to read: New SMS
6. If you don't have a string called LandscapeMenuRSKArguments, add it.
7. Edit the value of LandscapeMenuRSKArguments to read: -service "SMS" -to ""
Thanks, but I am talking about Start Menu of WM6.5 (screen with icons in a hexgonal arrangement). On this screen there is a soft key "Lock", and I would like to change it to "Back", if possible...
