Have a look at the attached ZIP file; it's got loads of .lnk files (shortcuts) to all/most of the Control Panel type applets. There's a memory one in there that should do the trick.
Mark.

Worked a treat
maybe dumb question but...
Where do I have to put the icons in order to use one of them?
Do I have to create registry in order to get a Screen icon on the try??

I was gonna ask the same thing. What folder do the .lnk files go in to have the shortcut show in the tray?
EDIT: Found this app that does the trick called "PHM Traylaunch".
I just put the control panel folder in program files went into battery status>tray launch then navigated to the programs>control panel and chose the shortcut i wanted and then tapped add.
hope it helps
Hi Everyone,
I upgraded to the O2 WM6 ROM last night and theres a few things I cant do that I could on WM5 and was wondering if someone could tell me how.
1. On the desktop i cant get the two buttons at the bottom to change from Calender on the left and contacts on the right.
2. The running problems icon has gone from the start menu options and I cant find it anywhere
I know these are trivial but you know what its like when you set something up the way you want and get use to it and then its taken away.
Cheers everyone.

Hi,
1. Just copy the file into the windows folder, do a soft reset, and go to start\settings\system... you will find the solution to remap the softkeys...
View attachment SoftKeyApplet.zip
2. Install this program. It will make an icon to the top right of the today screen. By this icon you can manage your running programs.

Cheers zsitvayb, worked a treat.
Is there a way to remove the battery indicator from the bottom right corner of the desktop next to the comm manager. Im using batterystatus which is more accurate so i have no need for it

Yes, that's possible. You shold do some registry tweaking... Hereby you can find a descriptipn about the registry tweaking: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Registry
Thanks again.
Can i ask one more, it will be the last.
When you go to text messages the left soft key is delete where as in WM5 it was new. Any way to change this back to New.
Thanks for all your help

Not that I know of, but you can replace the soft menu keys on the Today Screen with this...

I don't know if this has been asked and answered before, but I need some help please.. Okay you know how on the T-Mobile Dash when you select a program or whatever and when you go back to the homescreen the program is displayed?? Well I was wondering does anyone know how to clear them from there when you are done using it?? Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Also I installed a program and didn't like it so I deleted it but the short cut or whatever was still on my homescreen so I had to reset my phone to get it cleared..
Thanks as always
Doesn't the default homescreen display your most recently used programs? If so, just use other programs until the one in question is pushed off of the list.

I know that, I was wondering if there was something else I could use..
If you never want to see those icons go and edit the home xml. Your home screens are in Application Data/Home (or something like that, I'm not sure). Find the xml file you are currently using as Home screen and edit it on a PC. Remove the snippet of the MRU list.
Sorry I don't know a way to actually clear the list on the go.
(BTW, a quick note: please refrain yourself from using red. It's pretty hard to read.)
Hey guys. Whipped this thing up to help people choose the panels that can be displayed on the homescreen. So far it only contains 7 entries, the ones I found on my phone. You can turn the panels off or on, by selecting a panel and typing it "off" or "on" respectively. After you make the changes, you need to reboot to see the changes. The last option will make that easier for you. Choose "Reboot", type "yes" and it will reboot for you. Let me know if there's any other panel names you would like me to add, or if you find any bugs. Thanks!
Look good but isn't this just like the chome settings (neoOrder) that is in Rockys ROM where you can enable and disable the windows you want and change which position they are in on the screen?

To Clyde: It's cool. Contrary to popular belief, there are still some users that are on Kavana's ROMs. lol I have no problem with rickwyatt's, but I found them to have too many apps and tweaks that I found unnecessary for me personally.
To Org (and anyone who'll listen): This is great idea for those who aren't quite comfortable with editing their .xml files to rearrange the slider panels (like me)! I've noticed that many users have a panel called "My Programs". What do I need to do to create this? I think it's a really useful tool to "slide" straight through the programs you use on a regular basis. I've already read tons of posts on this, but it's not registering. Thanks in advance, guys.
It's difficult to sit here and do a step by step, but I'll point you in the right direction and answer your questions later.
1) Download a registry editor or use the one on the phone.
2) First off, keep in mind there's TWO places in the registry where you need to make changes. One is HKLM\Security\Chome\DefaultSettings\CWelcomeCenter and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Chome\CWelcomeCenter
3) Look for a key that says "Disabled" and make sure it doesn't say "1". Or use my utility to turn the welcome center on.
4) When you're in the registry you'll find Page1, Page2, Page3 etc etc in both places. Each Page represents ONE slide. For each page you can makes changes such as... ACTIONURL is the path to the program you want to execute when hitting the middle button. for example "\program files\NRG\Chomeweathersettings\weather.exe" will run the weather program
SK2URL is the same, but for the right softkey. SK2Text is a label for that softkey. The "pictures" key points to the .png file you will be using as an icon for your program. Right now it probably says "2500". Change it to "\windows\weather.png" and you'll get the weather icon in its place, for example. The Title text is self descriptive... put in whatever you want the title of the slide to be.
I hope you can figure it out from here

I'm understanding how to read the code. Thanks for breaking it down. I'm just having trouble finding the .pngs for my icons and also (noob moment) finding the target file for certain applications. It's keeping me from being able to input the file address for ACTIONURL and SK2URL.
Not Hard to Find
Just think of your program, "Where is it stored?"
That should be your only question when finding your target file. That simple, you should look in your Program Files directory on your phone or you storage card, that will then tell you where the link is.
2ndly, you can find other programs in your startup folder. They will be listed in link format, but this is fine, the link can be treated basically as the exact file itself (as far as your phone is concerned).
Long story short, use these locations for your entries for ACTIONURL and SK2URL. Have a blast!

Thanks, OD. I've figured out the file locations and such. I just need to know where you guys edit the .pngs for icons. I've found some icons, but they sucketh. I want them glossy and polished looking like the default icons.
By "where" , I assume you mean what programs do we use?
I use Photoshop do edit my pngs. I think other, cheaper software is available. Don't quote me on that. Photoshop can also be attained other "ways" (cough,cough).
Anyways, you can easily mod any pictures, turn them into anything you want, .png,.tga,.gif,etc. Look around.

I understand how to make any pic a .png, .jpg, .gif, etc... It's not the icons that I need, but rather, the program. I'll search for "alternate" ways to get photoshop. lol
Rinku has a pretty good description on how to add CProgs on his blog. It at the bottom of the page.
Thanks guys for all your help and input! I've figured it out, and in the process figured out how to change the small icons in the upper lefthand corner of the panels as well. It's kinda tedious at first, but once you get the hang of it--it's not bad.

I used GIMP for my icons, it was easy and I think they turned out quite nice. Here are a few that I found/made they all have transparent backgrounds. Feel free to use which ever you like.

Editing Slider Panels
Does anyone know the default setting for this registry key: \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CHome\CMessage\ICONPATHS? I changed it trying to change the condensed icon (upper lefthand corner) for the message notifications panel. Instead, my weather panel's icon was changed. What're the default values for the key? (ex. 2xxx;2xxx)
It is 2201;2201
I've been wondering for awhile now why out of all the programs for the dash why there isn't one out there for reordering the entire start menu. I know jeyo personalizer can reorder the first 7 but come on, they have everything else except for this that I'm aware of. Anyone know of a program that can do this? If not maybe someone on here would be up to the challenge. Just a thought i know I'm not capable of doing it but wanted to throw it out there.

reordering so that its not alphabetical? is that what you mean? Or just moving the wm standard stuff from the first page or 2, so that you can have your fave apps up front?
Easiest way is renaming the items in windows\start menu. The system ones that are listed first should be renamed so that they will move out of the way, and then rename the ones you want to be first so that they show up on first page. Here's a screenshot of my first page after the recent programs page. The screen shot shows a "!" infront of the names but a simple space will make them move to the front of the line instead of "!"
Thats a good idea thanks! Yeah i was basically trying to reorder the whole thing based on my most used programs on down. I use the list menu option.
