Hi, is there an app you can run on your pc in active sync mode where you can change you start menu screen folder placements, icons and folder contained item shortcuts. Alternatively something you can run on your phone without reg hacking.
If not there should be, would be a really nice little app for that extra ROM polishing.
I ask as I havent yet found a ROM with a start screen I have been happy with, most are untidy and there also seems to be a lot of icon / folder duplication.
Well, you do all that from the file explorer. Just go to Windows\Start Menu, and you can arrange the icons in any way you want. Move them from folder to folder. Also, re-arranging the icons is possible when you press and hold on the icon, and it will allow you to put it anywhere you want.
I'm hoping that's what you were looking for.
That must have sounded like a pretty silly question, however up until now I have never been able to get into the windows folder via active sync, it always froze. I can with this rom
I also have a utility for this, particular creating and moving icons in the start menu from one folder to another:

To download:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Use total commander. Then, go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, and move/rename your shorcut anywhere you want. You can make folder too.

Hello,
Does anyone know how to add an executable file as a shortcut in the HTC Home Launcher menu?
At the moment the only files in the list box for the launcher are the installed applications.
This is where i want the shortcut to be:
(next to MSN icon)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this is the program i want a shortcut to:
(launcher.exe)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Your *.exe application seems like saved under storage card. That's fine because it will eventually save up your main memory.
Try this:
1. Create a shortcut for the desired application.
2. Save the shortcut into Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
It worked for me as I created lots of application which saved under the storage card (you can save them all in one folder maybe called Program files).
With Resco Explorer tap on the desired exe and select "Send to Start Menu as Shortcut" or something like that . Then it will be available for HTC Launcher.
THanks a lot!! I'll try this out when i get home and back to my beloved artemis.
again, thank you dellkia and freco
just to let you know, it worked.
thanks
Glad to hear that!

sometimes god want not that we spend our time for htc-pda's.
the reason is, he or she have a palm ....
the other reason is, that your folderoptions is not correct.
you have to change it to "show hidden files and folders".

As ya can see the default album cover in my HD is f... ugly. I want to change it to something different (still looking). My first question is it a .manila file or .bmp or .png? Tried to find it with cfc_gui but no result, also tried to find it in device Windows folder but don't know the name of this file. Second question is how to change it if it's a .bmp or .png? Thnx in advance
Hi
It`s me again you will find all the manila music or audio files in your cfc_gui under audio\vga you can change everything in the bart of audio\vga with your GIMP, I did it already many times and the filename what you a looking for is 35e41510_manila. Do change the file copy them do you PC go in your GIMP an make you own picture or style what you prefer in 256x256 size PNG than copy them OVER the manila file what you have saved from you phone, after that , back to you phone, done!
Hi lumisab. Apparently not copied that file from my HD. I'll have to find it. Now I'm gonna have nicer cover for my unknow album. Thnx m8 [long live for gimp ]
Am I missing something on how to remove apps from my main screens. I just loaded the ROM and it came w/ some apps that I don't want on my main screens. When I drag them to the trash "Unable to remove system application".
1.Press the screen until the widget preview pops up
2.Drag the folder onto the homescreen
3.Drag the apps to the folder
4.Then move that folder to the next page or which ever page you're not going to use.

You can do something like this

I really like having all my apps under one screen. Looks like I need to find another rom. The journey continues.....
Have you tried removing them with Titanium Backup?

It's messy, but you could try the registry.
Run regedit (hit Start or Win+R, type "regedit" without quotes, hit Enter, approve UAC prompt).
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
Edit the strings in the relevant registry values, such as "My Pictures".
Log out and log in again (or just restart).
I can't promise it will work - your error is weird and I've never seen it before - but hopefully it will.
Yeah it worked ! I had to do it ten times after removing and re-insert the SD but it finally worked
thank you !!
