Is it possible to go directly to the control panel by clicking on a Start Menu shortcut (new tflo3d interface for Start Menu)?
Thanks
I'll rephrase.
Is it possible to create a shortcut (or run an app) which would open the control panel (settings window)?
I would also like to know if this is possible.

Hi, Guys
Great job on all the different ROMS.
Is it possible to set the screen orientation for specific applications. ie stay in standard portrait mode, but say I open email or tom tom. I would like the screen to change to landscape automatically and when I exit the program the screen to revert back to portrait mode. If not does any one know of an app that can do this.
cheers
That has to be written into the application.
It used to be an option in Tomtom 5, but it was a feature that was removed for Tomtom 6.
Opera browser will landscape independantly of the OS.
Sadly developers have have starting thinking that as screen rotation is available from Windows, they don't need to add it to their applications.
I'm not aware of any extra application that would monitor other opening applications and switch the display accordingly.
thanks for the quick reply. Guess I will have to manually change before opening.
just find this:
wisbar advance 3
Features
Compatible with WM2003, WM2003SE, WM5 and WM6 touchscreen devices
Uses a smaller memory footprint than WisBar Advance 2
Customize the close button, the screen orientation and the SIP on a per-application basis
Switch between any application currently running on your device
Provides a cascading start menu (as in the screenshot)
Tap and hold the OK button to cancel a dialog
Add or remove functions to the taskbar
Each button on the taskbar can be assigned a tap and a tap-and-hold action
Place shortcuts in the system tray for easier access from the Today screen
Customize a "User Menu" with applications of your choosing
Change the appearance of the taskbar, menubar, buttons and start menu in any program
Supports QVGA and VGA devices
Customize the clock's appearance on the taskbar
Hear sounds for system events, just like on your desktop
Download and install themes created by other people
I assigned the internet explorer button (bottom right) to "rotate screen".
thanks for the post,
Pete - seems to be the best solution without having to install extra apps. cheers
Hey anyone who can help, I am looking for a way to call the actuall Task Menu.
The function "-TaskMenu" calls the entire Task Bar.
What I'd like to do is call the Menu without calling the entire Startbar kind of like when you enable "Homescreen - SmartToolkit Start Menu" and the you get the original start bar but when you press Start you get the SmartToolkits Start Menu instead.
I hope I'm clear enough.
So what is the function I can use to Call the Task Menu's, Menu Only?
I need this info to fix my Idea for this:
------------------------------------------------------------
A cool idea for those on wm6.1 Slideing panels. This will change the right soft key on the clock panel to be the Task menu for smarttoolkit. this will not overwrite all the right soft keys only the clock one.
Go to your registry editor and navigate to
HKLM -> Software -> Microsoft -> Chome -> CClock
Hit "Values" and change the SK2TXT to
Task
Then go to SK2URL and change that to
"\Program Files\SmartToolkit\SmartToolkit.exe" -TaskMenu
// It's important to include the quotes, put in the bold stuff only.
Reboot and changes will take effect
// note: As it is, It will only bring up the Task bar not the Task Menu once I figure it out I'll edit it....again.
Idea Developed after reading:

My original post is a comment on this post.
I know I can't be the only one who'd like to do this.
Please Help I'd appreciate this alot.
Hi there,
I'm aware that there's a program out there called AE Button plus which will let me reassign my hardware panel button. However, I still use the radio panel.
So is there a way to create a shortcut directly to the panel manager or either the radio panel, so for example if I were to go to start > programs and click on a shortcut it would open the panel manager or either the radio panel?
Thanks in advance.

double that, would be cool...maybe make it an app, shortcuttable in manila.25 quicklinks
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!
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.
