I wanted to Add/Remove Items to the Settings folder for PPC.
I have been searching for an answer and have finally found out how.
You can use a Registry Editor:
Goto:
\HKey_Local_Machine\ControlPanel\
Pick the named item you want to edit, "Backlight" for example
1. You can re-arrange them to other pages (Personal, System and Connections) under the Settings screen, where Personal = Group 0, System = Group 1 and Connections = Group 2 so you just need to rename the GROUP key in that particular icon.
2. You can hide the icon by changing the HIDE key from 0 to 1.
Do not delete it, just hide it unless u are absolutely sure that you will never need it.
PROBLEM IS, how do I add a new entry?
Hi, does anyone know how to remove the first four shortcuts in the start menu of the htc touch pro 2? Thanks.

i also want to know this. Maybe in the registry?
Yup, you can do that in the registry.
Go to HKLM\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
There you see a a lot of numbered folders.
Start menu begins with zero for the first icon.
You can unlock them by going in the folder for example 0.
There you'll find a key named "IsReadOnly" with a value of "1".
Change the 1 into a 0 and voila, now you can change or delete the link.
So the first four locked items you'll find in the folders 0,1,2 and 3.

Do a search for CeRegEditor and use that.
Worked like a charm, thanks poster.
After i did this
"IMPORTANT: previously be sure that HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0.
Simply change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409
Ime File : \windows\xt9ime.dll change to Ime File :\windows\compime.dll
and
Layout Text : XT9 IME change to Layout Text : COMP IME
And soft reset."
to get Word Completion in old win mobile style and my space button disappeared
I restored registry settings as they was before, but didt help. Any ideas how to fix that without doing HR.?
I play with my registry, and my dumb to delete my registry files, the file is in
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\
The files is begin with "Voi....", someone plz help can give me some correct file?
I mean what "Voi........? that's it plz
∼
I'm sorry, I don't have this key : I have no VOI.....
Are you shure that is the right thing ??
What carrier? Stock ROM?
Under Verizon stock 6.5 ROM there are no keys there beginning with "V".
There is a folder called VoiceMail. It has one String Value key (Default) with an empty value.
There is a folder called VoicePrivacy with the following keys:
(Default), String Value, not set
ItemCount, DWord, Decimal 2
ItemName1, String, Enable
ItemName2, String, Disable
ItemValue1, DWord, Decimal 0
ItemValue2, DWord, Decimal 1

Thanks man
Your best bet is to back up your files and txt's or whatever you got, you can use WINDOWS MYPHONE @ www.myphone.microsoft.com , but create an account first (usually live account) then download the program to your cellphone, takes a while if you got alot of txt's to backup. theres also other backup programs too.
And then format the whole device to its factory settings. That's what I did. Not a smart with registry, but in school to learn more about it all i know is never to mess with it unless you know what to do.
unless you backed up your registry, a hard reset sounds like the right answer.
Yup. Registry backup is always the best thing to do before tampering it. Otherwise just doin a HARD RESET.

EDIT: some of the paths are hidden, I'll add an option to manually edit a registry key
v1.3:
added manual button, for manual add of registry key. you can also manually type in a path and then click enter to try to resolve its sub keys. in the same way you can enter a key name and click enter to try to resolve it.
v1.4:
values are escaped

could you give an example of what you mean by resolve hidden values?
Bug: entering a value with an ampersand ('&') fails silently. Try it yourself and see if you can change any value to xxx&yyy. The update will appear to work but it won't actually have done anything.
Bug in the tool, or issue with the HTC-specific DLL/API? The new touchxplorer Advanced Config appears to have the same issue.

example 1: Click the manual button, in path type: HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
then click enter, you will see the content of a registry path that wasn't listed.
example 2: Click the manual button and type in
Path: HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
Value Name: oemname
then enter, the value data will be resolved (HTC)

Same problem here. I cannot create new keys neither
Does not seem to work, entered HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
in the path, hit OK , got the popup warning that the registry will change hit OK,
Registry location stayed where it was. Can it be that the key does not exist on HTC HD7?

That's because the registry API is being blocked from editing it there.
Use provxml sideloading method to edit such keys, check the sticky

Simple, you're running Mango, "most" homebrew apps run native code which is blocked in Mango.
