Hi:
Is there a shortkey to kill a running app? not just minimize it.
Thanks.
nope.. just use a task manager..
I did remap a key (my T-Zones) so that it would open the task manager, then I could close apps from there or just switch apps.

I'm looking to do that. I know how to edit short keys but I don't know the exact text to remap the key to task manager. Could you copy your settings and post em here? Thanks!

Look for short_IE.lnk in your windows folder and add the path to the program inside quotation marks.
Example:
32#"\Program Files\Program Folder\program.exe"

I'm not seeing the short_IE.lnk file in the windows folder. I see all the other .lnk, just not the one mentioned.
Turns out it seems to be a new problem with the new HTC rom. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
I thought you were on the T-Mobile ROM when u said T-Zones key. Im not sure which key the T-Zones key is on an HTC branded device. If you can find that out maybe that'll help you seek out that .lnk file.
i'm running the new htc rom and i had a short_IE.lnk file.
at any rate, find the jogger settings program if you're still having trouble. part of that program is that you can reassign your tzones key.

I've done some extensive searches and can't locate this "jogger settings program" do you have the cab file? Do you know the exact name of the program?
Thank you.
I have the same ROM(Love it)
I just added Task Manager to a speed dial.
Works for me
If you guys are looking for the t-zones key after the HTC ROM change it is
Windows\iexplore.exe
for some reason though i had to use total commander and then assing the key on the smart toolkit that im using.
when i had the t-mobile rom i was just able to change it with total commander.
i am using the t-zones key for the Tornado low light program.

Anyone know how to remap the pink T-zones hardkey to WMplayer or something else more useful?
Thanks in advance
Laotzu
same way you did it in wm5
The link file has changed. For WM5, the file was windows/short_AP1.lnk,
In WM6 Beta, the file is windows/short_IE.lnk
Open it up in your text editor and change it as you see fit.
Oh yeah, forgot that extra step. There's still a link_ap1. Fun things happen if you replace only that. IE will load, then the link_ap1 will load.
I'm still getting IE loading after I have changed Short_IE to the taskmanager. Very odd.

I don't see any short_ap1 in the windows directory...is it someplace else?
yeah, i'm not seeing short_ap1 or link_ap1

Correct, there is not short_ap1 in the Beta. I'm not seeing an option in the registry that hooks into iexplore.exe. I wonder if opening IE is hard coded into the ROM...
A short-term solution might be the following AEBPlus:

This would allow you to remap other buttons as well. You could make the T-Zones Button a double-press for task manager, for example. This is free for the basic version for smartphone but the nag screen stays active, however. Also, don't go remapping key buttons because one of the bugs is that the button sometimes loses it's initial functionality (e.g. Read don't remap a soft-key if you don't know what you are doing because you can't do much of anything without having the original functionality present.) Not everything works on the Dash with this app, but it still does the job.
Got it... I just checked my WM6 and figured out what I had to do to get it working.
First, replace the short_ie.lnk with the link of your choosing. Then, also replace pie.lnk with the link of your choosing. That will get it to run the proper application that you want to run. Don't worry, replacing pie.lnk won't screw with IE at all.
Good find, Merwin!
Just to clarify what Merwin said and to hopefully avoid further questions:
1. Make a shortcut of the application that you want to replace the t-zones button application (e.g. Pocket Explorer) using ActiveSync's Explore function
2. Drag the shortcut copy to the desktop
3. Make two copies of that shortcut.
4. Rename one copy: pie
5. Rename second copy: short_ie
6. Drag both copies back to the windows folder on the device and replace the original shortcut files
No device reset is necessary.
Remap T-zones
gadgetshrink, It seems that I cannot change the files you suggested, probably because they are hard coded in ROM, as it indicates in the properties dialog box in Total Commander when I click on the e.g. Short_IE file. I have installed the Surreal App Unlock, reset but see no way to change the file attributes. I have the standard t-Mobile ROM on my Dash. I have tried to delete the files and to edit them and to cut and paste from Word Pad. No luck. Seems that the files need to be opened to be able to change them.

hi,
can someone please link me to the file/clear and simple instructions on how to do this?
i upgraded to the 6.1 rom months ago, and managed to change the IE key to launch IE. Since then, I had to reset my phone and can't remember how I did it
I tried searching, but i can't find it! I've tried searching "remap IE key" "Change internet explorer key from celetask", etc.
THANKS
I have the same issue. I'd like to switch the messages icon to the celetask, and the ie icon to ie.

i know it can be done! i don't remember if i downloaded a txt file off xda or if someone had instructions....
hopefully we'll get an answer soon!
Use total commander and browse to your windows folder and scroll down to Short_IE.Ink click file then edit and enter (19#"\windows\iexplore.exe") just as you see it here without the parenthesis then click file then click save and your good to go. hope this helps
If you dont have total commander I just figured out how you can do it with Resco Explorer - browse to windows folder, scroll down to Short_IE.Ink click Action scroll to open then to open with and scroll down to notepad click done it will open in notepad edit per above post save it and your good to go or you can bypass Resco Explorer all together and just use notepad and browse to file and edit. one of these should get you what you want.
Awesome! Thanks!
Sorry guys, first post, and really, really dumb but where is the " \ " key on the dash keyboard?? I am just blind?
nevermind, i figured out what i was doing. Self-proclaimed idiot right here folks.

I tried doing this exact thing... the T-zones key was easily mapped to IE, but the messages key now opens both Celetask AND Messaging. I double checked, and the link is written ok...
Anyone have any suggestions?
nevermind, misread the post
Well, as the title indicates, I am trying to remap my IE and Comm Manager keys. I remember that on the Excalibur, all I had to do was modify the path of the Short_IE.lnk and Short_Camera.lnk to make them work. That does not seem to be the case with the Cavalier.
I have discovered that the link responsible for the IE button behavior is pie.lnk in the Windows folder. However, when I alter the path of that link to CeleTask, IE opens first and then CeleTask immediately afterwards. Anyway to prevent IE from opening at all?
Also, I am having a difficult time getting the Comm Manager key to work. I tried using this thread with no success:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355141
Any ideas?
I would also like to know the answer, concern
Me too I m looking for this answer can some one help us please?
i really hate that it doesnt have the messaging button like the dash does?
help ?
Same here. I am planning on dedicating the IE button to Messaging, and the Comm Manager button to TaskManager. So far, all I have achieved is getting Messaging to open after IE is opened when pressing the IE button. Kind of annoying.
Noone can shed some light on this?
Bump for refreshment!
ha ha............great
IE key successfully replaced message

SYM key has the camera on it will bring up all symbols, you can also edit the shortcut on computer with notepad if you wish.
With the original notification bar it's hard to go to the power options.
You can't click on the battery icon.
(I know, I can change back to the old notification bar, but that introduces other problems... )
So I was wondering how I could get the power option in my Start Menu.
Because you can only add Programs, not something from the Settings Page.
Install the Topaz Notification Manager, it works for me very well
You can create a shortcut to Powerexe.exe in the Windows folder, and add that shortcut to the Startmenu folder. After that, you can add power to the TFlo3D start menu page.
Fantastic been wondering how to do this thanks.

I don't know if this is different for the Touch Pro 2, but my Touch Diamond only brings up the battery level when "powerexe.exe" is run from within the "Windows" folder. Is there a different powerexe file somewhere else?
It's one and the same.
I'm using TouchOff, besides shutting down the TP2, it can also switch off the screen and perform soft resets. Just use the search function, and you'll find!
