shortcut in startmenu is broken - General Topics

hi
i am using cLaunch with my O2 IIi, however, several shortcut like Word, Excel, Note, Explore did not work properly. Shortcut xBackup even didn't work.
For example, when i open Note in cLaunch, it quickly open a note with "21#: MSNOTETAKE". What it is? if i delete this sentence then the note.ink in Start Menu is broken and it will no longer run from Start / Program.
Please advice how to fix this and also how to fix the .ink file.
FYI, when i remove claunch and return to SPB Pocket Plus then everything is good, word, excel... run well from the SPB today plug in. Only the .ink file still broken
Thanks
Tuan

Error message with shortcuts re: .lnks files

I am looking for some help with "shortcuts" or ".lnk" files
I am using a HTC Tilt 8925 with WM6, but I think this may be a more universal issue.
I went into Windows > StartMenu and added several new folders, and then moved the .lnks formed from program installations into those folders.
For instance, folder "Refererence" now hold Dictionary, Lexipedia, Thesaurus, etc.
All was OK for a while, but then I started to get error messages about 2 application .lnks that I had moved into a subfolder. The funny thing is, the links actually work! It's just that randomly, I get a WM6 message that there is a problem with " Programs > XXX > AAA "
Does anyone know how to make a "new" link, to replace these old links? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and then moving those 2 .lnks, again, to the subfolder where I want it to be, but it happened again!
Thanks for any and all ideas!
PS: I have SK Tools installed; I thought there was a shortcut tool, but I cannot find it
Go into Program Files then whatever application you want the shorcut for. Copy the exe file then navigate to wherever you want the shortcut and paste shortcut. Rename the shorcut to whatever you want and the link is done!
Having said that if your shortcuts work sometimes but not others I cant see how it is a problem with the actual shortcut. You may need help here from someone more experienced than me.

can be fixed copy/paste in xBar?

Is there any way to fix copy/paste in xBar because it is not working with WM6?
I've tried VITO CopyPaste with VITO TaskSwitcher but it is not so functional and easy to use as xBar.
I've also tried SmartToolKit but I don't find very useful that XP look-like interface.
I can't imagine using WM without xBar
some times ago, in WM2003 era i'm use Xbar on my Typhoon with speical programms for copy-cut-paste (it can copy not only text, but it can copy files too)
i'll try to search that on my harddisk and check its work on my vox
later i'll tell about experiment
That would be great!
good news - it works fine!
CopyPaste is a small utilty for XBar to use copy/paste in wm2003 / wm5 smartphones with Paragon russian T9 installed
and it works with out Vox too!
readme.txt in russian, so i translate it
you must copy files from archive to program files\xbar\start (or xbar3\start or something else)
CopyAll - copy all text from edit window to clipboard
CopyLine - copy only current line to clipboard
Paste - insert from clipboard
Shift - select your text (with left-right buttons) and copy (left softkey) or cut (right softkey) it in clipboard. This is doesnt work in ProfiMail
Shift1 - same as Shift, but you can only copy text (up button). This is work in ProfiMail
You can copy to your smart all of those applications or select only applications that your need
It is not working with my vox with ARA rom.
I've tried it to copy text form SMS messege.
hmm.... i have same problem in sms
but in other application it is work...
strange...
the message has to be editable to be able to be copied. Which is not the case when reading an incoming sms.
Here is a workaround, you can forward the msg and then copy its content while it is edited. Pretty dumb solution I know but I think it is a windows mobile limitation and these copy/paste programs can do nothing about it.
I'd personally like being able to copy/paste text while browsing the net on the phone.

hmm
when i tell about i mean that i can't copy text in edit window. I can change it, even select it. But i can't paste it anywhere
evenb selecting the "cut" option doesn't do nothing ?
yes
text doesn't disappear
now this is strange. You don't have any other copy/paste program installed that could interfer ?
Maybe it has troubles with cyrillic alphabet ?
If we can't find the reason of your problem you should contact the program's author..

What are you useing for task manager and copy/paste?
xBars "select" (shift) is working but copy paste it is not working, the author promise on their forum to make a new version of xBar in wich will be fixed copy/paste in wm6 but it seems that author it is not working any more.
VITO copy/paste is working in wm6 but the problem is that it is mapped on the same center button as xBar.
How to remap that button?
I don't really know I use neither.
I use smarttoolkit for both. I've assigned a key to its task function (center button too) and a key for its clipboard function. I love it. I've also disabled the animations on smarttoolkit menus. It's better when constantly switching app.
What version of smarttoolkit you are useing?
I've installed "RC09-CORE1 Released" but it is VERY buggy, very often got my phone stucked and the only solution is to get the baterry out.
The same, but I seem to be one of those lucky people that don't have so much bugs using smarttoolkit. Strangely it seems to be not even rom dependent because many user of my rom report the same problems whereas I only get a smarttoolkit lockup every two days or so. I can live with it.
Finally I've got the clue, just install the SmartToolkit 1.0.0.RC08 version (not the RC08D) and all the stability problems are gone, no more bugs like with the last RC09 version!

SPB Pocket Plus 4 Smart scrolling enabled!

Hi all.
After the trick with zerolenght dll and exefiles(Biotouch) I have finally disabled TF (ugly and jumpy)scrolling. I want to use PocketPlus feature named SmartScrolling,but that wasn't in the list of options,so I can't enable it. Today I found a solution:
1. Make a backup of registry key HKLM>Software>OEM>TFLOSettings
2.make sure the backup file is created and delete this key
3.install/reinstall SPB Pocket Plus
4.import registry from backup
5.make sure,that the value EnableScroll is set to 0
6.softresetdevice
Now you should see the Smart Scrolling option in PocketPlus settings,just enable it and enjoy.
Btw,if something goes wrong,I am not responsible for any software damages using this. My is working good.
I'm using 3 separate registry editors on my "T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2" so that i can access SPB Pocket Plus 4 Smart scrolling feature. I accessed the registry editors and I tried to delete TFLOSettings folder under HKLM>Software>OEM>TFLOSettings but every time i select the delete icon it comes up with an error saying either the access is denied or the key cannot be deleted. i dont know what to do in this situation PLEASE HELP!!!

Touchflo 3D - Unwanted Bookmarks

I have an O2 XDA Serra (branded Touch Pro). In TF3d, if I scroll across to the internet tab, I have a pre-set shortcut to MySpace. I will never ever want to visit MySpace, yet it appears I cannot change or remove this shortcut.
Am I missing something, or am I stuck with everyone that sees my phone thinking I'm 13 years old?

Turn off TF3D
Find "27c65cbd_manila" in Windows directory.
Copy to your desktop and keep original for backup.
Open the copy with Notepad and tweak the "OperatorLinks"
Copy and replace into Windows folder.
Restart TF3D and you should see the changes.
Go Bruce, thanks man.
Just got round to doing this, but the file referenced above has Youtube in the operator links section, and not MySpace. There are zillions of _manila files, which one do I need? Or should I start manually searching?

Creating a program shortcut in Win Mo 6.5?

I updated my ROM the other day and I re-installed all my software afterwards, but one program (tomtom) didnt get placed in the start menu or in "All Programs" on the Manilla programs tab.
If I manually browse to the exe in the program files folder (on my storage card) it launches and works fine.
How can I create a shortcut in Windows Mobile 6.5 so that it shows up in my Start Menu or in the All Programs area?
I tried exploring the device while hooked up via activesync, and creating a shortcut hat way, but with windows mobile 6.5 it seems that doesnt work, the option to create a shortcut doesn't even come up in the context menu anymore. Same goes for if I browse to the file via the file explorer or total commander on the device.
Use Total Commander or Resco Explorer and create the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu or \Windows\Start Menu\Programs(\Your Folder)

There are two ways I use to make a shortcut in Windows Mobile. The first is to find the original EXE, tap and hold on it, and select "copy". Then, go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\, tap and hold, then "paste as shortcut".
The other, easier way is to install this valuable piece of software, restart file explorer, browse to the EXE, then tap and hold, then finally choose "Send Shortcut to Programs".
Thank you both for the info.
I was able to do it using total commander, which did have a "Create shortcut" option in the ">>>>" option of the menu. I used that and created the shortcut in the programs folder and then it showed up in the start menu and in the touchflo all programs menu.
Allthough this thread is already a few days old i still ought to thank you.
I had exactly the same issue - no TomTom anymore and i couldn't figure it out by myself so got really frustrated. No registry-manipulating worked (didn't understand how to do it right) and no manual shortcut-file creation either...
So i am really happy that you, DaveTheTytnIIGuy pointed out that FileExplorer Extension. Fantastic thing.
And Total Commander is too, actually. But i liked the extension better. Thanks anyways!
Your help is much appreciated.
Do it in File Explorer... that's work. In Total Commander doesn't...
