Shortcut .LNK settings page

Does anyone know the .lnk for the Settings folder page? I dont need the one for the folder itself but the one to the regular page showing in icons view Hopefully someone out there understands what Im trying to ask for.

+1
More specifically, is there a LNK that points to the Windows DEFAULT Settings folder, not the Manila Settings (which is HTCSettingsEntry.exe contained in settings.lnk in the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder).
I believe it's going to be something along the lines of ctlpnl.exe... but I can't find the solution.
Anyone???

Just create folder ''Settings'' in Windows\Start Menu folder - restart device and you will have Settings folder back in start menu.

use resco explorer or explorer windows default go to Windows--> Start Menu---> Programs and move it to folder as u want

Thanks for your reply. But half of my programs are not located in that folder so i can not even move them to the folder.
Please help, as they are totally unorganised and it is doing my head in. (Love your Work by the way)

Hope that this are the names as I have a german version.

Don't think it's "ROM Development"... and it's a double post => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408664
And finally, I think that mahsidi should make difference between the program, and a link to it. In Windows\Start Menu\Programs, you'll find only links. If a program that you install don't automaticly create a shortcut in this place, you'll have to create yourself : with Resco, go to the install folder of your prog, tap and hold on the .exe file and then, use the "Send to" fonction (the "Start Menu as Shortcut" item).

Program shortcut

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

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.

Then just click and hold on the program and choose Send shortcut to Progr ...

[REQ] how to sort/tidy start menu

hi all,
I'm running Miri' lastest 2.5 manila ROM and I'm having some problems tidying up the start menu.
I'd like to have a few extra folders, tools, connections, mutimedia and such. I have created these folders in \windows\start menu\programs ok and i copied all the shortcuts into the correct folder and then i deleted the oringal shortcuts.
My problem is that even though the apps i have installed since I flashed my phone have now moved to the correct folder, the apps that are included on the ROM are still present in the start menu and my folders.
Have i missed a step here?
Is there another location i need to go to to remove the links in the start menu?
Presently if i open \windows\start menu\programs with a file explorer there is nothing in there but the folders i created (no shortcuts). If i open the start menu from my home screen all the shortcuts come back!!
Any ideas anyone??
Cheers in advance

Same is here. Looking for answer as well !!!

use total commander

Old "All Programs" for the Manilla Start Menu

So I Love the new start menu in Manilla... What I don't like though is it's "All Programs" option. I've attempted to make it as much like the old one by installing the 4 column mod, but It's still missing Folder support, which I use alot in my Programs folder.
Is there a way to bring back the "Programs" option from the old start menu but still keep the finger friendly start menu from manila??

You can use a file explorer to go to the Start menu sub Folder in the windows folder and rearange the short cut links in to programs folder. The today and settings link are the only ones that can not be moved. I moved mine to have my usual 7 links and the rest in the programs folder like the old start menu.
