Start Menu Rearranging

Hi, great forum by the way....
I want to rearrange the start menu i.e put pocket excel word into a folder called Pocket office etc. But it won't let me as the shortcuts have attibutes such as system and read-only. i have used SPB pocket plus and Resco explorer to get rid of these properties but it won't work. it used to work on my xda exec, but is doesn't on my xda orbit. can someone help, please.
Looked around the forums, but can't find anything
thanks

... had the same problem but the Resco File Explorer worked for me.

thanks!

Changing IE key to open internet explorer rather than CeleTask

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?

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

Selecting multiple files in file explorer by tapping & moving finger

Hello,
I test file explorer in omina and I find that I can simply tap on the
screen and select multiple files.
but in TP2 taping on the screen and moving the finger doesn't
do the same function as it do in omnia.
Is it some thing that HTC disable it?
how can I enable this function in TP2?
Thanks

+1 I would also like to know this as well. How can we select a file, cab or whatever just to select or highlight it without actually opening it? This is what I use to use the d-pad for on my previous devices, was to select or highlight files.
Example: I want to delete a cab file from my device, How do I highlight it without the cab file opening? I am sorry if this sounds like a noob question, but I just haven't figured it out yet. Since this is my fist device without a dpad.
*edit* Nevermind, brain fart. I know, just to tap and hold the file or cab for delete, copy, paste and highlight.

+1 but generally speaking, selecting multiple files as well. I did find that the soft keyboard has arrow keys that you can use to navigate the way the d-pad did on previous devices. Not as quick but the functionality is there. Had the same issue with threaded SMSs and needing to scroll through so I could forward certain messages. I hope this helps.

The new TF3D seems to have lost this function. You have to go to menu, Select multiple files, then tap to select/unselect the ones you want.
Tedious I know!

Sorry, getting confused with items in the message interface.
(BTW, MENU is bottom right soft button in File Explorer)
Yup, you are correct, there is no multiple select in the standard Win File explorer anymore due to the dumb TF3D replacement pop-up menu!
On all other Menu's there is a multiple item selection mode, even on Resco Explorer.
Looks like some bright spark at HTC forgot to add it to the File Explorer menu as touch selection is disabled it in the registry in preference to scrolling with the stylus!
I use Resco myself so never noticed...

I know this does not answer your question but I suggest you really consider an alternative to MS explorer.
Resco Explorer selects multiple files by sliding over the icons and scrolls when touch flowing over the file names.
Further more you can enable a double tap setting to open a file so you can select a single file by tapping it once without opening the file.
Include the finger friendly text size, bookmarks feature etc etc together it makes Resco to one of the best if not THE best explorer for WM. Just my 2 cents...

Why don't you just open the device's hardware keyboard and select multiple files by holding down the SHIFT button and using the arrow keys?
Laszlo

Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch]
"Disabled"=dword:00000001
Softreset. Now you may easy select multiple files using the stylus.

i always use the total commander (cab) it is easy and straigt
and u have a lot of more options.

IMO, well worth the money... even over the free file explorers & reg editors out there.

WANTED: WinMo 6.1/6.5 Text Editor

I'm looking for a decent text editor for the WinMo platform. Microsoft Word just doesn't cut it and I need something that can open and save multiple file formats.
What's the best text editor around?

Total Commander maybe?

Yeah, that'll do. However, the editor closes when rotating the Touch HD 90 degrees using Gyrator. It goes back to the directory list in Total Commander.
EDIT: SOLUTION - Go into TC, rotate the device in directory view, then open TC editor. Just don't rotate it any which way, or the editor automatically closes.

Yes i agree total commander
