1. Go to the screen where you want to place the movie shortcut.
2. Find your ES File Explorer App. And open it.
3. Find your folder that has your digital movies and open it.
4. Find the movie you want to create a shortcut with and long press it.
5. Next you will see different options, chose the one that says “Shortcut” it will automatically place it on the screen.
6. Now back all the way out of ES File Explorer until you get to the desktop.
7. Long press the shortcut you just made, and choose edit.
8. You will see a box pop up along with the keyboard. Type the name you want to call it or just delete the file extension example (mp4, etc)
9. Next tap the big icon to change it and choose select picture, then Gallery, then you should see the movie Icon you have downloaded select it then hit OK.
To find the movie icons just do a Google search for the movie (Example: Fast and the Furious 2 icons)
http://www.fanpop.com/spots/the-fast-and-the-furious-movies/images
I always use Fanpop.com and once you get on the movie page there is usually a movie banner at the top of the page and to the left of the banner there is a picture of the movie. Just long press and chose view image, it will open up to a small picture in the upper left hand corner. Long press and choose “Save Image”. It should place it your gallery folder. You should probably do this first before you create shortcuts for your movies.
Good Luck !!

I have installed a game (UFO), but there is no icon apearing in programs or games. I can run the game buy finding the exe in program files, but an icon would make life much easier. Is there a solution for this?
Did you have resco explorer installed with that program you can create a today plug in and play the game for there.
Question? Can you post/upload that game here?
You just need to find the exe and create a shortcut from it. Then find your start menu and paste it in there. Think its in teh windows folder somewhere
dangerous_dom, this is normal, you won't see any icon or shortcut in the Programs under Start after installing anything, but you can create shortcut by yourself, do the following :
1- On your Pocket PC, tap Start, tap Programs, and then tap File Explorer.
2- In File Explorer, make sure that My Device is displayed in the toolbar above the folder list.
3- After My Device is displayed, tap Program Files, and then tap the programm folder that you installed (in our case, let's say it is UFO).
4- Tap and hold on the "UFO" icon, and then tap Copy.
5- In File Explorer, tap UFO folder in the toolbar to go up, and then tap My Device.
6- After My Device is displayed, tap Windows, tap Start Menu, and then tap Programs.
7- Tap Edit on the bottom toolbar, and then tap Paste Shortcut.
Finish.. Well little long, but when you practice it you won't find it long, it is similar to Windos XP in PC. I don't like installing utilities to do such thing when I can do it manually.
Hi
Can anyone please tell me how to select more than one file in file explorer?
If there is no scroll down on the screen, it is so easy just to touch and slide finger over files...
But when there are more files in the folder and it's not possible to show all of them on screen, sliding only scrolls down and doesnt select files...
I could fix that probles with editing files with computer, but that means I need to connect the device and pc everytime I would like to move photos from dcim folder to photos folder, for example...or I can just move one by one what is annoying and takes time...
Thanks
The default file explorer sucks, i think most people either use Resco Explorer 2010, or Total Commander which both allow a selection of multiple files.
I agree the best solution is to use a different file manager , just thought id mention if you use the swype keyboard in standard file manager you can tap sym three times to get to the arrows screen , click select text which should remain pressed and then the arrows will let you select multiple files.

I was thinking the same thing after a few days of purchase. As you mentioned, with a few files its easy but once its more than a screen can view, it loves to scroll and nothing else. In addition you cant copy / move files from the Windows folder as well, there are many reasons to not bother with the standard File explorer, i just use Resco File Exp as a few others have mentioned.
Atleast now i can select edit/invert selection etc to highlight certain files.
The only way to do this with File Explorer is to use a SIP with proper selection tools. The original WinMo keyboard had a Ctrl key but thats gone now.
I use TouchPal which has a 'Select' button in the toolbox, after which the direction arrows perform the multiple selections.
1. Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files on the device to see the games listed.
How on earth do i do that? I went to FILE EXPLORER - WINDOWS but i am lost from there.Please help.
click menu -- show all files.find bubblebreaker.exe, press and hold, choose copy, then scroll up to the folder start menu, games, click menu - edit - paste.
It doesn't let you just paste though (at least mine doesn't).
You have to paste shortcut.

as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files on the device to see the games listed
How I do that?
Please help me on this.
just paste the shortcut
just looked at this - open File Explorer and navigate to windows find the bubblebreaker.exe file and press/hold - at the bottom of the box that pops up is 'Send Shortcut to Programs' select this and you should now find a shortcut in the program list you get when selecting the icon in the top left corner of your home screen

The easiest way to do this is to use Resco explorer as it gives you the option to send a shortcut to the programs folder.
However as you have to pay for it I can understand why you might not want to so I had a look at trying it with the windows file explorer and here is how I did it.
Ok so in to the huge windows file and scrolled on down to BubbleBreaker and I've got 4 files with that name but only 2 have the BubbleBreaker icon. The first one is 46.0K in size and thats the .exe file we're after. The other one is just an .lnk shortcut file.
So long press on the .exe file brings up the edit menu. Select copy.
Now go up in the windows folder and in to the Folder named Start Menu, then in to Programs and finally in to Games.
Now if you give a long press on a clear bit of the screen avoiding other files you should have a menu come up giving you the option to Paste Shortcut.
Hit the button and all should be well.
Worked ok on my HD2, I'm running the standard WWE 1.66 Rom
P.S Don't forget to chose the option to show all files in explorer. Just click Menu then put a tick in the Show all files box.

cheers bud, its sorted. i was copy an paste'in the smaller of the files....doh
Hello everybody and congrats for the good work!
On page 276 of the user manual, concerning the file explorer it is being said: "To copy or delete multiple files, tap and drag over the desired files, press and hold the selection, and then choose an option from the menu."
Well, this is possible only if the list of the files doesn't exceed the vertical size of the phone's screen.
Once it does, meaning there are a lot of files in the folder, tapping and dragging leads to scrolling down/up the list!
Do you know how to fix this?
Thnx in advance!
assuming you mean the built in file manager.
menu - select files- several
better still, try resco . with resco you drag your finger down the icons to multi select, and it auto scrolls as you drag.
Well I am afraid that this option is not available. I mean, when I hit Menu, there is no option Select Files-Several.
My Menu is in Greek, and the only similar option is: Menu-Edit-Select All, but all is not what I want, obviously.
Resco explorer seems very good, indeed. But I am tired of paying so much money to purchase apps for my mobile phone.
And I think it is not descent at all, for such a devise, not to support, such a simple idea.
I have several excel files that i use frequently enough to make this very helpful indeed. Also, is it possible to customize the text and/or the icon used for the file in addition?
assuming using built in file manager...
press and hold the file, choose copy, browse to windows/start menu press and hold, choose paste as shortcut. now you can assign it to a quicklink.
as for the icon, not sure, maybe hand edit the link file and reference the icon there,, or if you browse to
hklm software htc manila home
find the numbered key your link is in and play with the icon reference there.
i don't bother with icons, sorry.
