Please help me. I bought an XDA exec 2 days ago. I have been looking through all of the posetd artciles and they have been agreta help, but I have a problem with internet explorer.
When I log on the screen is filled and I cannot see the 'Menu' at the bottom to change the screen size. This means I cannot alter homepage or change the size of the screen so that I can enter addresses.
I have read the users guide and it all it tells me is to use the 'menu' at the bottom - but it is not on my screen.
Can anyone help?
Try this:
Press the right soft key (one with the '-' on it) that should make the menu bar appear. Press it again or tap the 'menu' item on screen to access it.
The go to Menu->View->Full screen. Once you unselect it the menu bar will stop disappearing.
Thank you
Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to respond.
It worked brilliantly first time. At last I can browse the net!

I've been looking for this for some time, and I read several threads with ideas (like aebplus), but now: eureka!
Quickmenu 2.8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340352) can be configured to use a SINGLE press on the windows key to make it popup; it then shows a task switcher, programs and settings shortcuts. NICE
no more fiddling in the left or right corner of a screen, or holding the send button down for some time (was using Touch X's solution until now).
[EDIT] just got a very good question in my inbox, so a little more info:
the windows HARDWARE button doesn't display the default programs menu anymore... instead, when pressed, a Quickmenu popup is visible in the top-left corner. you can select a running app. in the list also Quickmenu/favorites/recent/Programs/Settings directly accessible. Pressing the HARDWARE windows button again, closes the popup.
If you press the windows LOGO on the bottom left corner of the home screen (sorry 28xxx builds only), the default Programs menu is displayed.

Hello.
Coming from using Wm2003 I remember that on File Explorer, you could press down and then drag across the screen to select files. On my device (Its a generic PDA) that I purchased it is running WM6.1. On file explorer you cannot press down and drag to select multiple Items. Sure there is other ways but I really liked it how on wm2003 you can pressdown and then drag the stylus across the screen to select multiple items.
Does anybody know of any registry tweaks that can be used or settings that can enable this?
I have tried Resco file explorer but that doesn't have that feature either, instead you have to go to multiple file select mode which itself is rather time consuming compared to dragging to select.
The second question. I really liked it how WM2003 had separate dropdown menus' at the bottom. But on Windows Mobile 5/6 there is only ever 1 or 2 dropdown menus down the bottom. Most of the times one of them is "MENU" and you have to select that to get a dropdown menu to access all the other dropdwon menu's, In wm2003 they would be all visible separately.
Is there any tweaks to change this?
I am using WM6.1 01.001.1
ROM DATE 12/3/2009
Thankyou.
File explorer: It works fine on my WM6.1. If you have HTC device with TouchFLO scrolling, you have to press and hold for a short time and then drag (just before the tap-hold dots start appearing). BTW I recommend using Total Commander, because there are more ways how to select multiple items - by hold and drag or by pressing the ctrl button on toolbar and then just tap what you want to select.
It's not a HTC Device but a generic device out of china running a 6.1 ROM. If I hold on the Item it just right clicks it and brings the dropdown menu up.
I'm not sure if I have touchflo or not, something tells me I do as the touch behaviour is different to other PPC's i've used.
Let me explain. It acts like a Piece of paper. On any program that has a scrollbar, if I put the stylus in the middle of the screen, then drag stylus upward, the contents from the bottom of the page begins to show (Exactly if you have a long piece of paper and you put your finger down on it and push it upward) Here is a Video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxqYLX2X7iE
So as we see above when i drag stylus across the items it doesnt select them all, it just scrolls up and down!
Maybe there was different versions of file manager and some dont support dragging to select multiple items?
This is very difficult for me to describe, but every finger-scrolling software I've ever tried was some kind of "layer" on the screen. If you drag, the gesture is recognized by the "layer" and scroll is performed. If you tap and hold for very short while, the input is sent under the layer to the active program. So if you tap and hold for a while until the item is selected (highlighted) and then quickly drag, you should be able to select more items. But don't hold for too long time as it brings the dropdown menu.
I don't know if I'm clear enough, so I'll describe what happens when you tap and hold.
1. Scrolling software handles input and checks if you are dragging.
2. If you're not dragging and the drag-checking timeout has expired (usually something about 200ms), the input is sent to active program (file explorer).
3. So we've got the input in file explorer, the item under stylus should highlight.
4. This is the moment we should start dragging to select more items, because the dots signalizing you're opening dropdown menu start appearing and if you don't start dragging until all dots appear, the dropdown menu shows.
So it means you can do multiple actions with tap/hold/drag according to how long you hold the stylus down. If you just drag, it scrolls. If you hold for very short while (about 200ms) and drag, it should select more items. If you hold for longer while, it brings the menu.
EDIT: I'd like to show you, but I don't have any camera, only on my device
I tried your suggestion, does not work.
The dots begin appearing then i quickly goto drag, then the screen just scrolls up/down the items and dropdown doesnt appear, but no selected items, it doesnt select them just scrolls up/down the window
Strange, because this is how WM6.5 behave, not WM6.1. I'm sorry, but I think I cannot help you
Thanks for the help anyway.
It's weird, also when i drag across the screen then it begins scrolling, if I quickly take the stylus of the screen it will scroll for just a bit more then gradually slow down, like some sort of scrolling type interface.
Does anybody know what this could be?
Whether it's something that some WM6.1 Versions had? or whether it's something that Somebody has added onto this ROM? Is the UI action defined in any file that I can just change on the Windows folder with another file? Anyway to get rid of it?
Thanks.
I think you should just try another ROM as it seems to be somehow hardcoded in this one.
Problem is I'm not using one of the devices listed in the xda-developers site, it's a generic phone.
So there isn't any roms for it right?
I don't even know how to put it into diagnostic mode (to flash)

It's possible in the Details view, there you can drag on the left side to select multiple files.
Livven: That's true I forgot it, that's one of main things I'm not using Resco Explorer - I hated that sometimes it scrolls and sometimes it selects items (usually when I use device with my left hand) Anyway, I still recommend Total Commander because of its ctrl button and virtual 2 windowed mode - best comfort for manipulating with files
You can change it to Big Icons view, then it'll always scroll. I did the same.
Hi everyone
Is there a way to create a shortcut to DEVICE LOCK? I'd like to put a shortcut as a quick launch but I've searched the whole device and don't seem to see an actual executable to launch the lock screen. Is this possible at all somehow?
Thanks very much in advance for the advice!
I know this may not be what you are after,
however, if i put my device into standby (short press hang up key) it locks the device
also im not sure if it is ROM specific but on Miri 15.1 if you enter the start menu there is a lock icon on the bottom left...
Sorry if i couldnt help

I've got the Left SoftKey on the Homescreen set as "Lock" which simply links to a lockscreen.exe program. So from the home screen I just press Lock, instead of using the "Start Menu/Lock" option.
If you want to configure something like this drop the Lockscreen.exe into the Windows folder and then configure the Left SoftKey to point to it.
Alternatively, you could add it as a QuickLaunch link if you prefer that for some reason.

I am using S2U2, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668415 as my choice of lockscreen. It has settings that allow one to lock the screen when it goes blank/black.
So when I press the End/Power On button i.e. the extreme right button, it blanks the screen and S2U2 will kick in in the background.
For the left hand button, I have assigned it for rotating the screen to landscape.

To set the Lock (or any Link) as the Left Soft-Key on the Homescreen, change the following key in the Registry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Default: Lock
Open: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\LockScreen.lnk
(or wherever you have the Link)
You could also use the Cookie home tab app. Besides the many other options it provides, you can add a lock screen button on the main screen and even modify your actual lockscreen.

I know this and have used it a lot. Not anymore though, since I don't really need it.

Nice, but I have no "\Keys\112" in there. I looked with Resco Registry. Thanks anyway!
+1 for S2U2
Quick question, I flashed the "Cookie, Energy" rom, latest version and previous versions. On the home screen with the clock, I press and hold my stylus on a blank quick link box. A new menu appears to select a program. Sometimes I select a program by error. How do I either change the program or delete it? In edit mode, I tried pressing the icon, a small menu appears with a "delete" command selection, if I select this the entire row is deleted. I want to know how to modify each quicklink in a row.
If you're using a Cookies Home Tab ROM, on your Home Tab, press the RIGHT Softkey.
From the context menu that pops up, tap "Edit Quick Links". From here, you can add more shortcuts, or remove shortcuts already there. To remove already placed shortcuts, just tap on them. You'll notice a small "X" that appears on top of the icons you tapped on. Once you click 'Done' the links you tapped on, with the X on them, will no longer be visible.
My Note 10.1 is new with up to date software.
On the Home screen I want to remove two unrequired blank pages. If I select one of these pages and then open the Menu/edit I see only one options - that is to CANCEL (an 'X'). Pressing this just clears the dialogue box! Hence there seems to be no 'edit' functions whatsoever. So how can the unrequired page be deleted or even reordered.
I'm sure there is a simple answer but I cannot find it by searching either these pages or perusing the user manual.
Pinch the home screen down to minimize then delete the ones you dont need or add more

Sounds like you are touching the Google search button when you are pinching, try it in the middle of a blank page.

When you pinch in all your desktop screens should appear.........
You then touch the one you want to delete and in one motion drag it to the top where it says delete.
