I have already tried a shortcut creator which allows me to change the icon of a shortcut...
But when I copy that shortcut to a different pocketpc (which has the same programs installed as my own), the icon switches to the standard one...
Any chance to definitely change that icon??
.....No one?
The Icon of a exe file is stored IN the exe file, try to open the exe file in a res-editor and replace the icon with the one you like
I don't know if that works for ppc exe files too, but: just try it

I already tried it... But I still have a problem:
When I copy the .exe file from my PC to my device, the icon is automatically restored to the default one...
Maybe the icon I'm using aren't compatible with this type of operation?
I use this icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424678
The .ICO ones....
which icons are you trying to change
sometimes there are more than one icon in the exe.. (different sizes and colors) be sure you replace all
if you like i can try it for you, just send me the exe and the icon, or upload it here.

You can find it in the attachment....
It seams your .ico is corrupt, i can replace it with an other icon, and no problems.. but your one is "empty" (in windows I see the guitar playing homer, but in ResEdit, the icon is empty.. )
I tried it with another on, and it worked
Used TGTSoft ResEdit. Just open your exe, then point on the left site to "Icons" and select that one you want to replace. the you see the icon on the right site. Over the Icon ther is a replace button, click that, select your icon and save the project

hope hat helps you

Everytime I try it, I get an error....
ERROR CAN'T OPEN .BMP FILE....
But I'm trying to use .png and .ico icons.....
Maybe Am I already using wrong icons?
Where can I find correct ones?
is the extension of the file really ico? Do you use just the icons of this thread?
Here you will find lots of icons: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/icons/?order=5
hope you get it to work if not, i can try to convert them

I use .PNG icons.... If I try to replace the existing icon with a .ICO one, I can't load it with the app... It doesn't let me load a .ICO file...
EDIT:
Finally I make it work opening the .ICO file with an icon editor...
I deleted all the format (16x16,24x24,ecc...) inside but one (32x32)...
Then just write its name in ResEdit (because it doesn't allow me to search .ICO file)....
AND FINALLY IT WORKS!
Thanks to all!

I'm newbie here...i'm trying to make a png picture into dll icon that can be used to change the application icon using the SK Shortcut Manager..
My question are:
1. Should i change my png picture into something else?and using what application?
2. How to convert those icon into .dll file?and what program i should use?
Thanx before..and sorry for my bad english..
you need the software named "resource hacker" to replace the icon you want.
I read the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511876&highlight=icofx tutorial..i,ve made the dll file..try to apply the dll file using the SKSM..but it stop on loading...do i really need to make the lnk using reshacker?

Normally, you need the .ico format for the icons inside the dll. And you can google to find the tool easily. Just as what I said, after you make the image icon and trsanform into .ico, and then you can use the resource hacker to replace.
Apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, I searched but couldn't find it: Is it possible to remove or at least hide the "Start" icon and text from the upper left corner of the screen on a stock TMOUSA HD2? Seems unnecessary to have it there when we have a hard button for the same thing.
At least in WM6.1 I edited "shellres.dll.041D.mui", 041D is the code for Sweden so you have to figure out what code is your country.
it's very easy to remove the start icon in 6.5.x versions..
don't know whether this works in 6.5
(6.5.x is the one with the big bottom bar and start on bottom left)
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\BubbleTiles]
"HardwareDoneKeyEnabled"=dword:00000000
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001
"TextModeEnabled"=dword:00000001
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
if you don't like the X then change the "DoneKey" to 1 as well.

download and open .zip, extract and install the cab "no_start". it will remove the text only. that's it
Thanks so much guys. I'll have to give these ideas a try. anyone else have any ideas?

The no start cab in dafunk's thread worked perfectly. Thanks for this. (This removes the test not the icon.)
has anybody given the reg edits a try on 6.5.0?
I to think its pointless having the start icon in the top left when there is a perfectly placed hardware button
.cab for changing the start text without flashing or removing
is there a .cab for changing the start text without flashing or removing it all together..
Sorry but i've installed sdkcert and no text, and nothing happened after on softreset.
Someone can help me ?

Only you need is cfc_GUI you can download from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798 <----Thanks Chainfire for that!
At the first you had to Cerate a FOLDER on your DESKTOP called manila files or something you want!
At the first start from cfc_GUI it will ask for a folder and than you choose the created Folder!!
All other things are in the Pictures!!!!
Step1:

Step2:
Step3:
Step4:
Step5:
Hope that helps a little bit?

Hey mate
good job Thank you
Very Basic Question
Up to now I have only "consumed" as a user, but I start to dig deeper...
Basic Question: The manila files contain only pictures (skins, buttons etc.)? There is no code in?
So if I modify one of the manilas, I just change the appearance of that specific part of the screen?
If anyone could confirm or explain the function of the manila files, would be great.

Some Manila files are only graphics (called QTC) others are Luascripts and Mode9 (what you call code).
The tool described above will help you for the graphics
oh wow loads better than manila editor thanks man
Your welcome!
Which manila file is responsilbe for the day format in the weather tab?
copy your manila files in a folder on your pc and scan the folder with this
http ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464984 (remove the space before the : to get the link to work) and it'll give you the name of the files and therefore their functionality
I figured out that it is 308671e5_manila.
I edited the file to the desired format but it doesn't change in the weather tab.
Any idea?

I'm trying to change the analogue clock on my HD2 but it won't change from the default clock (well sort of i've managed to change it from a square one to a round one), i've followed the instructions on moving the file into the device-windows folder.
but there's a file in there with the same name already and it doesn't replace the original file, if i try to delete the file 20F62884_manila it doesn't give me the option, the delete and rename options are not selectable, they are on the file i've pasted into the windows folder but not the original file, is it protected in any way ?
I'm using the file explorer that came with the Elegancia V8.0 Rom is this ok or do i need to use something else...
Many thanks...

Many manila fills are protect to overwrite, changing or deleting!
The easiest way is to use a cab file! It will overwrite and it give you the possibility to uninstall so you get back to the original one!
Ore maybe you can simply used a program called CfC GUI!! Perhaps the most simply way if it is fore personal used!
more explication ore where to find it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798
The file explorer which is on your device will not overwrite protected files.
But, search for "Total Commander" for Windows Mobile - it´s not the "freshest" software, but free, and it *does* overwrite protected files.
To make it more finger friendly, just change to large icons view!
Or, after all, as the previous poster mentioned, use cab files - those will automatically install and overwrite files.
Cheers for the reply's i've used a cab and yep changed the clock, but most of the clocks i've really liked are not as cab's so will try the total commander now, again thanks for the help, much appreciated...
Buggar even with total commander it says unable to delete file
If you will I make a cab for you! Perhaps the easy's way!!
