Relinking Software to new ROM?

I have freshly installed WM6 on my Wizard. everything works fine.
I can even start programs that are installed on the Storage Card, by looking for the .exe on the Storage Card.
- How can i make a shortcut for these Programs in my "Programs"-folder so that i can access them from the Start menu, or even uninstall them?
This would be very nice to know because i dont want to reinstall all my software each time i install a new ROM.
thanks for your advice.

all shorcuts in \windows\start menu\programs are display'd
you can make shortcuts using total commander

hey thanks alot! This Forum Rocks because of people like you! Quick and helpful!

Intresting that - out of curiousity and future use,can you make shortcuts using other editors like PHMRegEdit which I have and use please?

hi, I had the same issue but you can go to the directory using the built in file explorer and click and hold, there is now an option to send shortcut to programs which is really handy.

Is it possible?

hi there. i installed some programs on SD card, then i made softreset and after that i couldn't any more access the programs through shortcuts in programs in touchFlo. i can only access via SD card. is it possible to make a shortcut in touchFlo so i don't have to uninstall it and then install it again?

You did soft reset or hard reset?
Doing soft reset shouldn't cause that problem.
Anyway here is path to access program launcher in Touch FLO (reg)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLanucher

it was a softreset first , then i had to take the battery out

i found the solution
To create a short cut for program in your start menu or programs menu of device.
in your device - using file explorer, find "your program".exe - you should know where it is cos you created this folder remeber!
copy this file (shortcut)
now in your device using file exlorer navigate to the windows folder. open it. you will see a folder called start menu or if u like programs menu - simply paste the shortcut here, DO NOT PASTE THE FILE- IT MUST BE THE SHORTCUT!!!

add a shorcut

thanks for any help

Easiest way is to install Total Commander (file explorer program, google it) which has a create shortcut option. Then save the shortcut under Windows/Start Menu/Programs

you can do it using the normal file explorer, just copy what u want to link to and then go to the directory mentioned and choose paste shortcut

i want tothe icon to appear in the programs when i click add to add a shortcut tab in windows so where do i need to copy the file to?

i got to the exe and copied it to to windows/ start menu and it appears there and allows me to add it as a shortcut but when i try to run it it s not enough memery on the device, yet when i run it on the device from ist normally location it runs no problem
any advice would be great
thanks

I think you need to paste a shortcut rather than the exe itself

instead of choosing paste choose the option below called paste shortcut

your right the shortcut worked a treat thanks
tom tom up and running now

adding program file manually to start menu

Hi all,
I installed the navigon 1 month trial, I have it on my SD card and it runs from there (I browse to it using Total Commander). It wasn't installed using a .cab or something, just copied to the SD card.
I want to add it to the programs menu (start) but it is not on 'add program' list, most likely due to not being really installed.
Is there any way to add it manually?
thanks in advance

Go into File Explorer, find the executable, copy it, then paste a shortcut in the Windows\Start Menu folder.

this worked more or less like a charm, thanks a lot!

[Q] Adding new programs from .cab files into Start Menu folders?

Hello, I just had a question about adding new programs on my Rhodium. Whenever I install a new program over active sync, or through a .cab file, it places the link to the program (the icon) right in my start menu (Using a Rom that has WM 6.5 with the new start page)
But, in my start page, there are folders like "Internet," "Tools," and "Multimedia" that I would like to add my new programs into. For example, I want my Slacker Radio app I just installed to show up in the Multimedia folder instead of just thrown at the end of my start menu.
I was wondering if there's any tweaks or anything to get my new programs to be installed to one of these folders instead of just the start menu.

You can use Total Commander or JSPA Program Manager to move the shortcuts to the desired folder. JSPA is the easiest to use and is free.
