Hello friends.
often happens that I install an application and i view that application in main page of WM 6.5 menu screen (clicking on start).
Now I would like to display this application icon in a folder in the menu ... and not the main page.
For example: i just intalled Opera 9,7 beta...but the Opera icon appear in the main menu screen...I would like to put in in the "connectivity" folder.
How i can change this?

Go to, My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/ Copy Opera and paste it into the Connectivity folder. Then go back and delete the original shortcut in your start menu.

I was wondering if there was a way to add and remove icon shortcuts for programs in the start menu
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mircosoft\Shell\StartMR U
InitialOrder > Remove links in this key to have all apps in alphabetical order or add links in the order you choose.
@quicksand - i believe that is for the MRU only.. which appears only in the Homescreen..
@casezin - Try to sync your phone, explore, locate /Windows/Start Menu/, and you can add/remove shortcuts/folder there..
There's a StartMRU and a StartMenu. I put the wrong key it it should be
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mircosoft\Shell\StartMenu
order > Remove links in this key to have all apps in alphabetical order or add links in the order you choose.
I apologize for that mixup. What i posted in this post is correct.
By Editing the registry key you can put your apps in any order you like as opposed to having the default apps at the top and user installed apps below those.

Thanks... This should be added to the Wiki. I knew how to remove menu items... but not sort them
windows mobile 6.5 start menu
I have installed an application (to be specifies the application is called mobidiv and it is for language support) on my windows mobile 6.5; however after the installation the start menu is not working anymore! It’s there however it’s is disabled
I had a similar problem with the installed application when I was on windows mobile 6.1; however the problem was with the sms email threading, the application for some reason disabled it.. after searching the web I was able to fix the problem by going into the registry key and enable the sms email threading feature again.
Now, I guess the application has done it again but this time with the start menu, can any one help me with providing the registry key for enabling/disabling the menu button for windows mobile 6.5
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry but what device are you running wm6.5 on? I don't think anyone with an excalibur is running 6.5!
i dont know what phone or build your using, but mine is an htc touch pro 2 running 6,5 and i absolutly haaate some of the stock apps that come in the start menu
i was playing around on it a few weeks ago and found where the folder is that holds the icons for the menu
you can make new folders while in here, delete shortcuts, and rename them.
heres the folders you need to open:
->start
_->file explorer
(make sure you are on the top level of "my device")
__->windows
(this should be the last file available)
___->start menu
____->programs
once you reach the programs folder you should see an alphabetical list of your folders folowed by an alphabetical list of your app shortcuts, just like you would on any computer.
just hold select and then press delete.
it will ask if your sure, press yes.
if it tells you that a related program might be using this shortcut, it means that you might have either a tab or an icon on your home screen linked to that particular shortcut and you would have to re link that tab or icon to the program or risk loosing it entierly.
hope this helps
**edit**
i just saw the date of the original post ^ ^;
might be alittle to late to help the original situation but this still works none the less

You just use resco explorer and go to windows\start menu\ and adđ and remove i con like you wnat
I've had my TP2 for a few days and have seemed to run into a wall when attempting to modify the "Start" page.
It's pretty easy to remove and add programs, but how do you do things like rearrange them or add submenus??
Thanks,
F
install ActiveSyn,then connect your pro2 and pc.
in pc enable show all hiden folders,then in ActiveSync go to pro2 folder
\windows\"start up"menu\programs
you can delete unwanted program shortcuts. maybe you can creat new folders or subfolders to cut program shortcuts in them,i didnt try.
concerning rearrnagment of icons,i dont think there is a way,what i know is you can only move icons in bottom to top.
go to start up menu in your pro2,touch on any program icon for about 3 seconds,one window will come up,it says "move to top"
Hello guys,
After a long search on the web I can't find the answer to "How to create a control panel shortcut on Windows Mobile".
Out of the box, our Rhodium are packaged with a "Settings" shortcut in the start menu which links to the Settings tab of Manilla. I find this annoying, if i want to go to the manilla settings, i use manilla not the start menu.
So I want a direct link to Windows' control panel. I've seen many ways to link to a specific applet, but not the whole control panel.
Anyone can help ?
PS : Also I'm looking for the HTCSettings.exe file stored in every Rhodium (WM6.5 version)... I've accidentally deleted it :/
Thanks !
I am not sure I understand the question, but I think what you want is to be running TouchFLO instead of Windows Default.. If that is correct, the solution is simple. Click Start>Settings>ToDay>Items>TouchFLO 3D>OK>X and you should have it. What you want is to be running TouchFLO instead of Windows Default.
Hope that helps.
what he is saying is that he wants to got to the control panel or "settings" from the start menu, when you hit start and then settings it takes you to manilla settings
What annoys me is that the Bluetooth and Today screen prefs are ONLY available through the Windows CPL, things like QuickMenu don't see them..
You got is cs400, that's what I'm looking for.
Someone can send me the original HTC Settings.exe (Located in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs) ?
Okay guys, I figured out how to solve this problem by hanging around in the registry !
How to change the "Settings" icon in the Start Menu to make it open WM's Control Panel rather than Manilla's settings panel ?
- First go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and remove (or move) the file HTC Settings.exe
- Then go to the registry \HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo and change the value HideSettings from 1 to 0
- Reboot your device, it's done !
I am trying to change the 'Settings' button in the Start Menu to open the WM Control Panel instead of the Manila settings, however, the \HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo key does not exist in my registry. Is there another way to link to the Control Panel? Thanks!
WM control panel shortcut
I would appreciate anyone telling me how to make a shortcut that links to the WM Control Panel.
Thanks!

Thank-you a million times! Just installed something that crashed my HTC Sense, and couldn't for the life of me work out how to get to Remove Programs so I could un-install it! I now have my phone back, without having to go down the hard-reset route which I'd feared was my only option.
you could do as htc intended and clicked "all settings" on the settings tab for those manila doesnt cover.
Which would have worked brilliantly....had I been able to get to the settings tab in the first place.
With Sense freezing, I had to run the 'change my background' option from 'Getting Started' to get into the Today options and disable Sense. Then use the tips in this thread to get the Settings folder back on my Start Menu. Normally I would have used the All Settings option, but couldn't in this case, and it's funny how much you don't realise is missing from a start menu....until you need it!
Hey everyone. I love the new Start Menu on the touch pro 2. I do have a question though. I plan on packing alot of programs onto that start menu, and Would like to keep the entire top half for the most used programs. Is there a way to remove or move the People, Calendar, Settings and Home buttons? I dont have the choice to remove them with the remove mode.
There is a program floating around at XDA named reSTART which can arrange the WinMo 6.5 start menu... you can also make folers for you icons.
I just did a search:
"Search: Keyword(s): reSTART, start, menu "
The only post it brought up was this one. Do you have a link to it?
This is also WM 6.1... NOT 6.5.

I need an assist here. I use two applications where it would be nice to open the start menu and idealy open it to a particular folder.
I believe the applications are irrelivent but I will list them anyways. The first is Rhodium keyboard Control and SPB Mobile Shell.
I want to assign a button or shortcut to open the start menu (not the spb menu) to the internet folder or system folder for example.
