Hi all,
did somebody work out good filters for Advanced Registry Tracer or similar Application to concentrate on the changes that do matter.
I got the problem, that a lot of registry entries are changed without any addiction to the install that was made, so i get a bit of lost in many changes that might not correspond to my problem to find the registry keys that really are done or needed to integrate microsofts voice command in my ROM.
Any input would be really apprecciated!
bestr regards

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and came here looking for a fix to rotate my WMP screen. I sometimes wonder if I should have ever upgraded to WM6. I haven't uploaded a registry editor or anything in fear of totaly destroying my phone. I know there are alot of little things that can be changed through the editor like reassigning keys and whatnot. I was just looking for a place to begin and maybe someone patient enough to help me through things. Thanks for reading.
You can try the last post here. I am not sure whether it works or not.
Don't I need to set up the registry editor to use that solution?
Yes......even if someone here wrote you a .reg file that you could just open from the phone to add the registry entry for you, you still need a registry program installed on the phone. Are you not wanting to have the program on your phone, not wanting to make the registry change yourself, or not willing to change the registry at all?
Hello,
I am using a HTC P3300 (aka Artemis).
I recently updated it to the official HTC WM6 roms.
During the last days I have often looked into these forums to get some help for different things that I wanted to costumized, and I was happy to see that everything worked, so now I am giving you a hard one to solve.
In the start menu of WM6 is the so-called "Recent Programs"-List. I want to get rid of this list, unfortunately it is not as easy as it is in WindowsXP for example. I looked into the registry but I haven't found anything, but I am honest, I am not a registry-pro, perhaps I missed something.
Or is there a program able to to that? I don't want to do every day a cleanup.
To give you some motivation, until now (in WM5 and WM6) nobody could help me, except for the answer "it is impossible" , so I hope you guys will be up to it.
Thanks a lot in advance.
here you go...
instructions are in the zip file attached

HKCU>Software>Microsoft>SHELL>TaskSwitch>
You will need to clear/delete the entries under it one by one or delete the "TaskSwitch" folder and then perform a soft reset to load the changes in the registry. The TaskSwitch folder will be re-built upon performing a soft reset.
Thanks.
Just checking it if I understood correctly the solutions you have provided.
What you two are proposing above, is a cleanup that has to be done or will be done automatically when I start my P3300.
Is there no possibility to simply turn the list off, like in XP? So that WM6 will not create any shortcut after I launched a program? Then there would be no need to turn the P3300, just to empty the list.
Thanks again for your help.
Yes thats correct. If someone knows a way of turning it off please let us know
Update
I know this is an old thread.
But if anyone wants to know how to disable this on a smartphone..
These are specifically for a BlackJack II. But it should be similar accross the board.
There are two shell entries we need to focus on:
:MSStart - full start menu
:MSMRULauncher - recent programs list.
If we navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSMRULauncher
Edit the value for 0 to be "MSStart" instead of "MSMRULauncher"
Edit the value for 1 to be the same as the MSSTART key e.g. - "appman.exe -s BootApps :MSStart tpcutil.dll AMStart"
When you hit the start key on your smartphone device it should jump straight to the all programs menu,
better solution
while this may work, it ruins that mru thingy and turns it into a start menu...
more elegant solution is to
set string value "Command" to ":MSStart"
in key
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu
That will simply tell Windows that default action for calling start menu from shell is MSStart while keeping mru in working state... also, there are several other interesting values out there, like order, you can set specific order of items in start menu... wiping this value may result in alphabetical sorting of all items, including those "important" like messaging, settings and so on... hope it helps
Hope this isn't too dumb a question and isn't posted too far off where it should be.
Firstly these forums are excellent and through them I've managed to cusomise my phone through various additional cabs files and tweaks. In fact I'm now that happy with the results that I'd now like to roll out these settings and programs to about 100 phones, probably HTC Touch Cruises and HTC Atmoses.
Could anyone give me some pointers on installing multiple cabs, registry entries and profile settings.
Also does anybody know of a registry comparison utility that will tell me what registry entries have been changed, e.g. before and after. A lot to ask I know.
Thanks in advance.
It seems that several users are claiming that some registry changes stay permanent (i.e. waking-up Diamond when SMS came) and some not (i.e. not showing the SIM Card contacts).
Yes, I have used Search, and got different solutions proposed but all directed to a particular problem.
Is there a more general solution that noobs like me are missing about:
keeping the registry changes permanent (I mean resisting to at least a Soft Reset)?
Thanks for advice, reading, guiding.
general solution:
use Resco registry editor. one hassle less.
Please note that if any program (say TF3D ) writes to the registry when loading, there's not much you can do, except a delayed script... and even that might not solved if there's a timer running in the background.
Thanks anyway for replying. So, I will test to kill TF3D to see...
So, last results... for instance regarding the SIM contacts view:
RESCO (excellent tools btw): ok up to the next reset.
Without TF3D: again some register changes are erased by the first soft reset.
So enough with that, probably will be solved with a cooked ROM...?
Best.
Hey guys, I've been messing around with my HD in the registry before doing a master reset and found how to add more programs to the programs tab (in case 24 is not enough for you)
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
(once u navigate there, add new keys (starting with 24) and copy and paste the DispName, IconPath, IsReadOnly, and Path from one of the previous keys)
PS, sorry if this was already posted, I tried searching for it but couldn't find it.
Otherwise, enjoy
hey thats really cool I'm going to try that now!
Is it possible to also add more than one application tab?
Looks promising, but I must be doing something wrong. I do get the '+' icons to add new programs but when I add a program it doesn't show, not even ofter a soft reset. Will try a bit more...
edit: Noticed in the registry that it does change the key's Path and DispName entries but somehow it just won't show... Odd.
Did anybody get this working? It would be nice to have a few more spaces for programs.
No, the maximum of activ program is 24 "+" and not more aviable.
Jes, you can make more then 24 "+", but not activ with program`s.
Too bad, thanks. It still strikes me as odd, but I've had so many HTC /WM phones that by now 'odd' actually became the norm
Thanks again
sorry guys, I didn't actually try adding a program to the plus (as I didn't have the need, I just assumed it would work when I saw the '+'), but hey, who knows, maybe it's a two part process and we just have to find another registry which will allow us to assign the programs. Once again, sorry for not fully testing before posting. (and PS, from what I remember, the diamond only had 16 or 20 '+' for programs, so I'm thinking that there is indeed a way to assign more programs, though it might be not worth the trouble)
