Hi,
How can I organise the Start Menu items into folders within WinMo 6.5?
Either after cooking the ROM or from the Kitchen?
Kind Regards.
You can take a look into initflashfiles.dat in OEM and if you want create your own folders you should create app.dat files with f.g.
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Internet")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\Internet.ico.lnk")
To create ico file you need to know how to put resources into dll file. There was some thread on this forum about creating the icons.
Brilliant, thank you very much!

i have the 8125/wizard.. was wondering if its possible to create a cab that will delete shortcuts... here is what i am trying to do.. I would like to take all the pocket app's like excel and word, etc and delete or move the shortcuts from the programs menu and put them in nice and neat little folder in the programs menu! any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cab files can't delete or move shortcuts, only create them. If you can program in c / c++ you can easily create a setup.dll for the cab that will do it.

Hi,
Sorry but this may be the wrong place for this thread. But I have a MDA Vario II with the official T-Mobile WM 6. What I want to do is, within the programs folder, how can I change the folder icon of the folders I have created my self?
Thanks in advance.

Here's your info:
Create 'icon.lnk' in the folder in the start menu and make it a hidden file.
The shortcut would be to the file containing the icon you want to use, and for folders in the Start Menu the link would probably be to shellres.dll with the icon in the low 8200s,
The attached file has:
The folder structure with icons I use in the start menu
A cab file for installing said icons if you don't want to it for yourself
RViewer for examining the icons in files (.exe, .dll and .cpl) so you can choose one.
Enjoy.
thanks for the info mate,
Hello all,
I have downloaded basic kitchen from Cyphol and I want to make my first simply-adjusted rom This is not Turbo Pascal programming that I did some years ago, so if you could help me that will be cool
As I can see extracted ROM is dividen in OEM & SYS folders, in OEM folders there are Packages directories with add-on aplications, and in all directories dsm and rgu files. My questions are:
- I want delete f.e. Welcome Center, so I must delete all folders in SYS containing Welcome Center and thats all?
- If I want delete for example FMRadio, I must delete all FMradio folders in OEM?
What if I want add some cabs to be installed in customization? What should I do (as I noticed dsm and rgu files must be in folders...)? I would like add an .exe file with EyeOnThief
If someone can help me or send good instruction HowTo i will be very happy
Thanks in advance!

Read up on Ervius package creator.
Hi,
I want to share small PC tool - FindDup. I have made it several years ago, as I wanted to know how much disk space is wasted by exactly the same files.
The main feature of this program - it compares all the files in given folders binary and it can found duplicates even if the names of files are different.
I use it now to optimize size of my ROM.
For example - you can see there are 298 junk files, total wasted size 1,56 mb in dumped Mega OEM packages.
HOWTO use:
1. Add folder to "Look in" list. You can use drag'n'drop.
2. Select "Search \ Start" from menu, or click "Start" icon on the toolbar.
3. If there are duplicates - you will see them in a list.
Known issues:
1. It looks like it cannot save result to file under XP. I have made it for Windows 2000 and I need to find sources to fix this...
Download link: FindDup
thanks!
just started cooking, will try to find duplicates on my rom!
Be careful. This tool just give you information. You must to know how to use this information.
For example: Ervius Kitchen copies all the files to "temp" folder. It's OK to have duplicates in temp and for example SYS.
But if there are duplicate Manila resources in dump folder, may be you can edit HTCHomeSettings.xml to reuse one file and delete other.

I am using Visual Kitchen to build my ROMs. There are five types of files that are used to eventually create the registry: *.hv *.rgu *.reg *.provxml *.xml. I'm trying to find a program that takes all these files one by one and create ONE *.rgu file. When adding keys to the One.reg the program should check whether the key exists with different value and ask the user whick value to keep. Is there a program like that? Could someone make one? I am not a programmer myself so i can't do it but i believe that this would be very useful for all cooks.
Provxml files are only added to the registry after Flash/1st Boot not during cooking process.
You could try and catch the default.hv and user.hv from the Kitchen Temp folder, to at least have those files with all the .rgu entries from the kitchen already inside them.
But i haven't seen an application that does exactly what you need it to do.
