I have been terminating Voice command throuhg Celetask everytime I start my htc-s620 with wm6.1. Reason I do it is to free up memory. Id love to remove this voice command permanetly so, I dont have to worry about terminating voice command everytime i start the phone.
I tried searching. With no luck.
Is there a way to completely shut off this feature to free my memory up?
Please let me know.
Dude, using active sync....go to \windows\start up folder
delete the voice shortcut.
ok, well i went into my windows folder and i didnt find anything that was related to voicecommand.. Couldn't find the "startup" folder you were referring to either. Just program files, My documents, application data, mapi, connmgr, docs and settings

when you hit explore in active sync, go to tools > folder options. from there hit the view tab. then in that big list you see, hit the button next to "show hidden files and folders". hit ok. then do what mikey said.
What if you have windows vista and you do not have active sync but rather windows mobile device center.
Ummmm....you do know how to explorer your phone?!?!
Go into the \Start Up folder and delete the shortcut.
hey guys. Been busy lately and forgot to get back on here and update you guys.
I did figure out how to delete the file off my dash. Thanks everybody!
Now I opened a new topic about my skyfire beta not installing. Anyone who can help, check it out!
You guys are the best for helping. Top notch help here!

Im running the Vanilla wm6 ROM still on my TyTN and its working great, im not changing to the XDA or other ROMS out. i dont like not having the Word, Excell, and Powerpoint programs in my PROGRAMS.
can someone guide me an easy way to locate them and create the shortcut for them so they are there when i go to PRoGRAMS?
thanks in advance
Go to File Explorer. It should default in your My Documents folder. Click Up once to "My Device." Click Windows. Click Start Menu.
Now you'll see the Start Menu you get when you click Start, along with the Programs and Settings Folders. Click Programs. Click Office. Click and Hold the program of your choice. Choose Copy. Click Up. Now you're back in the Programs Folder. Click Menu-> Edit-> Paste Shortcut.
Repeat this process to copy shortcuts to your Programs folder or your Start menu. (by going up one more level.)
there is no Office in Windows>Start Menu>Programs....
the office apps are located in the windows folder of the vanilla version,
to make shortcuts open file explorer and go to the windows folder, find the office apps (like pworc) copy the app, goto windows/startup/programs click paste shortcut for each one
if this does not makes sense, then read the whole vanilla thread, someone created a cab folder to install the shortcuts for you.
how is this creating shortcuts? looks like you guys are just coping exe files. i'm interesting in creating actual shortcuts. does anyone know if this is possible?

Yes ... eagle just told you how to do it, either that or use the cab file in the wm6 vanilla thread which will do this for you.
Choose "paste shortcut" instead of "paste" to get the shortcut instead of a copy of the exe file.
Just installed this. I used to use this headset to call people with voice commands on my old Nokia, is there a way to do this in wm6? Without launching an app of course, or it would hardly be handsfree.
I use this: ContactManger. Looks and works awesome and its all black!
Thanks for the quick response, how should this be installed?

Its a CAB. Have you ever installed a CAB file before? Just sync your device to your PC. Click Explore. Click on My Windows Based-Device, open the Storage Card folder (if ya have one) and just drag the CAB from your desktop to your folder. Then go into your device, open file explorer, locate the CAB and click on it. It'll ask ya where to install. Choose Device not Storage Card(though you could try it from the SC if ya want). That's it.
Ok I extracted the zip into my documents, and executed it. Came up with a list of contects. Tried speaking into the phone but nothing happens, this does support voice dialling and is always listening right?

Ok, correction. It's not a CAB. I gave you the entire folder which you need anyway. Unzip it to your desktop. Drag the entire folder into your device via activesync. Rin the exe from your device. It'll load everything for you. It can't "hear" you either. All it is, is a contacts app that scrolls.

Here you go. Dowload this file and install it. http://www.mediafire.com/?lnmq1flyzjm
There will be 2 files in the folder on phone after installed drag the config file onto your desktop and ADD the exe file. reinsert it into the folder and and make sure appcloser.exe is in your \windows\startUP folder.
Some programs dont have an exit feature. This program will close the program as soon as you click on the home key on your phone keyboard.
Hello, I tried this but its not closing the app eg. Calendar and I put in on the Startup folder as you suggested, I also tried the Program Files folder as the developer suggested but not lock either, any ideas, thanks
Pretty please any ideas, thanks or another suggestion
drag the config file onto your desktop and see if poutlook.exe is on the list.
if not add it, save the list and drag it back.
reboot
My first post on xda.
Tools > File Explorer > Windows > YouTube (444K sized file will do just fine)
Copy the file and paste shortcut in Start Menu> Programs
The next step is very important.
Goto:Settings >Connections>Connections>Advanced Tab: Select Network button: Change bottom drop down to Media Net. Both drop downs should be Media Net.
Thats it.

Hi,
I did as you stated but my YouTube program does not launch from within the start menu, it just stays highlighted when I click on it.
I did a soft reset and nothing changed.
It works if I go to Tools > File Explorer > Windows > YouTube 444K and click on the file.
Any one else had this problem and know how to fix it ?
Thanks
It works for me, but it take forever to connect and sometimes just end up ERROR can not play. I spend more time watching the 'connecting' on the screen than the video I want to watch.
The only YouTube file that works for my Tilt2 was downloaded from google mobile- by using the MS IE, not Opera. The only issue (minor) i get is when i select a video file- it will go into landscape opposite the native landscape of the Tilt2. not a biggie. However, it works fine when using ''changescreen" app (enabled).

i am having the same issue. it highlights but doesnt activate the program.
if you go to the exe file in fileexplorer and then press and hold the exe file, a screen will popup with the options to "send shortcut to programs" hope this helps
I feel pretty silly...
I was able to find the YouTube files on my phone. I copied them over to "Program Files" (which, as I've read here, isn't the way to go about it) So I deleted the files I copied over to there. Problem is, it deleted both the "copies" and the original files :/
How can I retrieve the Tilt 2's version of the YouTube application without completely wiping out my phone?
Thanks for any and all help.
no sound on youtube app
I was able to copy the shortcut over and when I double click on it the client works but there is no sound. What gives?

You don't paste it to the menu directly, you have to paste it in /Windows/start menu/programs directory on your phone
Youtube app in start menu
i had the same problem puttin the Youtube app that comes with the Tilt 2 on the start menu and actually getting it to work, but after a whole day of messin with the settings, i finally got it on the start menu, and workin!
first what i did was
opened the file explorer<windows
from here you will sort by name so it appears from a to z(only if u need to because mine showed from z to a)
then you will scroll down to the Youtube folder, click and hold down to copy.
after you copy it you will paste it under the program files (my device<program files)
after that you will need to copy the actuall app and add it to the start menu.
the app will be found under the my device<windows: scroll very closely to the bottom of the list to find the app, click on the one that says 25b. click and hold on it then copy it and paste it under the start menu folder at the top of the windows<programs.
now when you click your start menu there should be the youtube app and should work. i have only tested it under my wifi settings at the house but it should work on 3g.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!
and if you want to rearrange the start menu, i recommened downloading the JWMD-Icon-Changer at:
pocketpc-freeware.net/jwmd-icon-changer-get-12511.html
i downloaded it fomr my pc and sync my phone to my pc after saving the app and draggin and droppin it into my phones file explorer and then installed it from there.
we already had it on the stock rom? I downloaded it from google mobile with google maps :X...anyways, no probs with the way I did it...idk
thanx vic1307, your method worked perfectly!

Any reason we don't cut and Paste, instead of copying...doubling the file?
You can't "paste" into the start menu folder....you can't paste into any folder that is already full, because there is no empty space that you can place your cursor on and hold to get menu to pop up.
If you try it ends up clicking on an item in the folder, because there are no empty spots to click on in the folder..
This is one thing that really annoys me with wm6.5....thank the idiot that designed this feature.
ok, I just cut everything out of the start up menu file, and pasted the youtube file into the blank folder, then pasted everything else back into the start up menu.
annoying, but affective. Deleted Google's youtube. Like the stock look one much better. ;D
Post #8!!! That is your answer!!!! Do NOT COPY the exe file to the start menu!! Either copy the YouTube.lnk file to the start menu, or send the exe file to the start menu as a short cut. Also, if you are using the native file explorer, then you may not see the .lnk or .exe file extensions to know the difference.
You should see the files in this order:
*at$t rom*
YouTube.exe (with YT icon) 458k
YouTube.exe.0409 (windows icon) 10.9k
YouTube.lnk (YT icon) 25b <-- file size should be another clue it is just a short cut.
You want a copy of the .lnk file in the start menu.
There are two YouTube apps, one is an HTC app that is hidden on the phone, the other is Google's and it has to be downloaded. I like the HTC app better myself btw.
Hi all
after some great advice from miami_son I have managed to sort out the mess that was my programs start up page.
sadly i also managed to delete the link file for the file explorer program
try as i might (and being very thick) i cant get it back.
can anyone point me in the direction (or tell me how to do it) to get the file link back
many thanks in advance
Use Total Commander to locate fexplore.exe in the \windows directory and select it with a single click. Click on file in lower left corner of Total Commander to bring up the menu. Click on >>>>>> and then click on create shortcut. Use the tree function to place the file in \windows\startmenu\programs.
Follow Kevin's instructions, works for any .exe file you want to create a shortcut for. But I would just skip creating one for that particular file. For one, Total Commander is a much better file explorer and can do more, and the OEM file explorer can cause you to delete things by accident if you aren't real careful.

I'm not sure, but I think that many programs use the file explorer to open files, rather than opening it themselves. Or at least this appears to be the case.

He didn't delete the program, just the shortcut for it. Once you have Total Commander installed you no longer need the stock shortcut. Like I said, TC is a much better file explorer.
You guys are just brilliant!!!!
Thanks so very much

The shortcuts (*.lnk files) are located in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
The icons for the programs are located (normally) in \Windows.

Any file browser application on the device. File Explorer is on every ROM. You could even do it from your PC if you rather.
Install Total Commander. Unzip file, connect device to PC, run the EXE file.
thanks miami son
am i correct in thinking ( from the advice you gave me about a year ago) that you cant actually delete the program but you can delete the icon file (png?)

It sounds like you're just trying to remove some links from your start menu. Is that correct? If it is, then just navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete the ones you don't want to appear in the Start Menu. In File Explorer, tap and hold on the one you want to delete until the menu pops up. Select delete and then tap yes. In Total Commander, do the exact same thing. I don't think I can explain that better without making a video of it.
well i would like to delete the progs but I was under the impression that they were installed on the rom and, as such, they cannot be deleted
(certainly when you delete the icon and then do a hard reset the icon re appears)
i will try to combine (my bad) memory and the instructions and see where i can go

You can't uninstall apps that are cooked into the ROM whether you use stock or custom ROMs. Deleting the link files as I've instructed will prevent them from showing up in your start menu. If you hard reset, they will be right back where they started.
Thanks for all your help guys
i can start to sort out the phone now
thanks again
