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!

I have installed a program which does not appear in Installed Programs.
To run it you have to tap an .exe file which is in a directory on the storage card.
Is there a way to create a shortcut and preferably an icon that I can add to the Programs page in the Touchflow.
TIA
Paul
I had the same issue (with Tomtom). I just made a short cut to the .exe in the folder the program was in, and moved that shortcut to Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs. I did this using Active sync.
Hi Gunther
I have just tried that however when I right click the .exe in file on the phone or in Active Sync I do not get the option to create a shortcut - just the Cut, Copy, rename, Delete etc.
Did you take a copy of the .exe file or find another way to do the shortcut?
Thanks
Paul
using File Explorer in your HTC Touch HD right click on the target and chose copy option
go to the destination folder right click again and chose pase shortcut
I am not having any joy. When I right click and copy the .exe file and then go to the Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs and then right Click again the option to paste as shortcut is greyed out. If I paste the .exe file then it appears as a program in the list of programs however it does not run.
The shortcuts are .lnk files. I presume they point to the .exe/program files location however I cannot open them to see what is inside.
Thanks everyone - I did it. Just went to the Start Menu and then used Menu - Paste shortcut.
If you've already got File Explorer installed, just install the file explorer extension.

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!!!

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
is it possible to get a a short cut for the SD card or folders on the sd card to appear in the programs menu
i hate having to use FE to get to stuff
yes. download total commander and install it. Next navigate to /windows/start menu/programs and copy one of those shortcuts (lnk file) to a different location. Go to that location with total commander and view properties. there you can change the values to point to the file you want to launch. now copy that newly modified lnk file back to the start menu/programs folder and it will be in your all programs in TF3D. i believe there is a program you can use to jsut click an exe file and "create lnk" but im not sure what it is.
Just wondering if I did something wrong...installed Att Navigator to card to save room on phone. If I go to file folder and find navigator it works fine, but when I try to copy the .exe file over to the phone as a shortcut so I can find it in programs, it won't load properly...where should I put the file so it will start up properly without searching it up with file folder everytime i want to use it....
Thanks
use Total Commander, its a free file explorer. Select the Att navigator .exe from storage card then under the file menu there is an option to create a shortcut then it asks you where you would like to place it. In your case under Windows\Start Menu\Programs then whichever subfolder you'd like.
OR
Connect to activesync, browse your device to where the att nav .exe is and right click it, create shortcut, then move the shortcut to where you want it.
If you need more info, just search for create shortcut there are a bunch of relative threads.
thanks for the help
