Trying to edit my own ROM from Black 3.5 and want to move the "Office Mobile" folder link that appears on the \Windows\Start Menu folder. The problem is that there's no mention of it in initflashfiles.dat or on my registry search so how does it end up there?
Got it, mxipupdate_office_100.provxml
I assume provxml's are run automaticly, but anyway I can go do some more searching now...
Now I'm stuck on how to change the 21#:MSPWORD link
I have installed a program which does not appear in Installed Programs.
To run it you have to tap an .exe file which is in a directory on the storage card.
Is there a way to create a shortcut and preferably an icon that I can add to the Programs page in the Touchflow.
TIA
Paul
I had the same issue (with Tomtom). I just made a short cut to the .exe in the folder the program was in, and moved that shortcut to Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs. I did this using Active sync.
Hi Gunther
I have just tried that however when I right click the .exe in file on the phone or in Active Sync I do not get the option to create a shortcut - just the Cut, Copy, rename, Delete etc.
Did you take a copy of the .exe file or find another way to do the shortcut?
Thanks
Paul
using File Explorer in your HTC Touch HD right click on the target and chose copy option
go to the destination folder right click again and chose pase shortcut
I am not having any joy. When I right click and copy the .exe file and then go to the Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs and then right Click again the option to paste as shortcut is greyed out. If I paste the .exe file then it appears as a program in the list of programs however it does not run.
The shortcuts are .lnk files. I presume they point to the .exe/program files location however I cannot open them to see what is inside.
Thanks everyone - I did it. Just went to the Start Menu and then used Menu - Paste shortcut.
If you've already got File Explorer installed, just install the file explorer extension.

Then just click and hold on the program and choose Send shortcut to Progr ...
hi all,
I'm running Miri' lastest 2.5 manila ROM and I'm having some problems tidying up the start menu.
I'd like to have a few extra folders, tools, connections, mutimedia and such. I have created these folders in \windows\start menu\programs ok and i copied all the shortcuts into the correct folder and then i deleted the oringal shortcuts.
My problem is that even though the apps i have installed since I flashed my phone have now moved to the correct folder, the apps that are included on the ROM are still present in the start menu and my folders.
Have i missed a step here?
Is there another location i need to go to to remove the links in the start menu?
Presently if i open \windows\start menu\programs with a file explorer there is nothing in there but the folders i created (no shortcuts). If i open the start menu from my home screen all the shortcuts come back!!
Any ideas anyone??
Cheers in advance
Same is here. Looking for answer as well !!!
use total commander
http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm
all the folders and shotcuts can be seen and editied, great app
Im using MIghtyROMS current version and I was using total commander to move some utilities into the settings folder. I did something and the settings folder turned into a file? it was no longer a directory... so know when i navigate to /windows/startmenu/programs/ there is no directory for settings. When i am in touchflo and i go to the start menu i can see a "settings" folder and navigate to it just fine and it still has the original docs/shortcuts in it.. what did i do where can i go to add/delete items out of the settings folder??
i know that i am missing something or looking in the wrong area...

Hi,
I have some programs, which after the installation, didn't create a shortcut icon.
Like iGo Primo for example.
I wonder if anyone knows a program or a way to create a shortcut in order to be able to put it on the manila shortcuts?
Thanks.
With file explorer, find .exe file, tap and hold, choose "Copy", go to:
Windows\Start menu\Programs
press Menu-Editing-Paste shortcut.
i'm also interested in Primo shortcut,there is not any other way,just copting the .exe in start menu?i tried with sktools but no luck..
You must make "Copy-Paste shortcut", not "Copy-Paste".
You can use File explorer or Resco explorer.

Hi,
I have Tom Photon ROM and from some reason I cannot make quick link to the "Games" folder.
I tried to do it the same way.. Copy a shortcut to "windows/start menu/programs"
but it didn't work..
Any ideas?
thanks.
Use path:
Windows\Start menu\Games
or create a folder named "Games" in
Windows\Start menu\Programs
have this folder, but it doesn't appear on the shortcuts options on the quick link.
I get this message:
"the file 'Games' cannot be opened. Either it is not
signed with trusted certificate, or one of its components
cannot be found. if the problem persists, try to reinstalling
or restoring this file"
I can't understand if you try to make a shortcut for an app or for a folder.
The folder appeared there already.
I tried also to do a shortcut.
The message I got was for the shortcut.
I cannot link to the folder.
Try to use the shortcut of the game you want.
I already had the "Games" folder.
and I created the shorcut to the folder.
When I try to use the shortcut in the quick links, I get the message above.
Thanks.
I think that you have to use the shortcut of each game, not the folder's one.
Well..
Now that we have 16 shcts, I can afford it..
Thanks any way..
New project!
I want a wifi quick link (for the shcts).
Does anyone know a program that makes this shortcut?
Thanks.
