Is there any way i can add a shortcut to a java app onto the start menu?
For Example i have installed opera mini and want a shortcut to it directly instead of launching the java program and then opera 2. Thanks in advance
Don't have the answer, but just to add I too would love to have a direct link to Opera Mini from the HTC Home Menu, or Start Menu.
Someone will be along soon with an answer!
Anyone? Theres got to be a way
so no-one knows how to do this?
The parameter to start Opera Mini directly is (if it is your first Java app): -run s0_.
To create a .lnk (to use in HTC Home or a launcher) do the following:
1. Open a text-editor and put in this text: 28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
2. Rename the text-file to "OperaMini".lnk (or Internet.lnk or what you like, but it must be an .lnk file)
3. Save the file on your device in the programm folder
4. Choose this link in the application, you want to start Opera Mini from (for example HTC Home).
To start Opera directly from the cube, do the following:
Open a registry editor and go to: HKLM-Software-HTC-Biotouch-APLaucher-App4 (or which button you want)
Change the following keys to:
"Param": -run s0_
"Path": \Windows\Jbed.exe
"Name": What you like, for example "Opera" or "Internet", ...
Works fine on my Orbit 2.

OEM button settings?
crap I changed the wrong button. Does anyone have the OEM settings for the Comm manager? or maybe you can list all of them? I would just need the ones I changes the
"Param": -run s0_
"Path": \Windows\Jbed.exe
"Name": What you like, for example "Opera" or "Internet", ...
thanks....I didn't check the button befor it was too late.
thanks again

Hi
I need to remap a hardware button to run a program, but I haven't been able to find a reg tweak for it.
I've found these:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\KeyMaps
But from that I can only figure out how to disable or switch the mapping around.
Does anyone know how to do a reg tweak so I can map a hardware button to launch a specific program?
Thanks
Create a lnk file (shortcut) to your desired application, with one of the following names and put it in \Windows folder.
Short_Home - Home
Long_Home - Home
Short_CAMERA - camera
Long_CAMERA - camera
Long_POC - IE button (the one from above long volume up button)
Short_POC- IE button
Aditionaly:
Short_AP1
Long_AP1
Short_AP2
Long_AP2
Short_AP3
Long_AP3
Short_AP4
Long_AP4
for the phones with the 4 extra buttons above softkeys.
eg:
If we want CoolCamera to open at a long press of Camera button:
- make a shortcut to CoolCamera.exe (with Resco Explorer for example)
- rename the shortcut to Long_CAMERA.lnk
- copy the shortcut to \Windows with overwriting.
Aditionaly you can map Long_VolDown & Long_VolUp.

Thanks, but that doesn't work on the C500.
I don't have any shortcuts called anything like that in my windows folder. I tried creating one to test it out, and it was a no go
Any other ideas?
Not exactly what you are after, but you do know that you can assign programs in your start menu to speed dial right? Sorry if you already knew that. Another option is AEButton or whatever its called, but its pay software.

What OS do you have? WM5.0?
PS: that works fine on my HTC Tornado with WM5.0 and WM6.0
try this:
the instructions remain, just the shortcuts filename will change as follow:
CaLP & CaSP - camera
HomeLP - home
LP is coming from long press
SP is coming from short press
Hey guys, I have a question for you. I just added CLinks to my CHome-screen. There I want to add a shortcut for the games folder in the startmenu, how should I do that?? I am trying :MSStart \Windows\StartMenu\Games right now. What is the the shortcut for the start menu and folders within it?
And for Opera Mini I tried "\Program Files\Jbed 3D Mod\jbed.exe" -run s8_ but that doesn't work either. Any ideas?? Is it because of the 3D Mod??

Here's the url I have for games folder: fexplore.exe; \windows\start menu\games
For operamini, you can set it as default browser then call it like this: : DEFBROWSER;
to add a specific link: : DEFBROWSER; xda-developers.com
To set it as default look for the thread in xda general forum(not smartphone general), it should be on 1st or 2nd page of forum. Hope that helps
Thanks, I have done it differently. I made a shortcut to Opera Mini in Start Menu, but it was -run s21_
And I am opening the gamesfolder via Resco Explorer now. Thanks anyway!
Hi,
does anybody knows how can I open the programs screen from the today menu (this screen where you can launch all programs ) by one action?
I would like to remap a softkey (e.g. calendar) to quickly open this screen.
Edit:
There was also a similar question in the "Mortscript Example" Thread:
"i'd like to know whether it's possible to open with mortscript the default window that WM opens from "start menu\programs" (the default one, not the fexplore.exe one)"
But I coudn't found the answer (because of there wasn't?).
Thx
Joline

I use a program called "folderview", after creating a link to it from my "iPhoneToday" home screen it opens the programs folder.
Maybe this is what you are after. Just unzip, and run from anywhere on your device.
Cheers
Hi BigDaddyG,
This was what I'm looking for. Thank you.
Joline.
[Solved]
Hi,
just for those which have the same question: In the meantime I've found also a solution using Mortscript.
To open the Programs folder:
Code:
Show("Programs")
And to open the Settings:
Code:
Show("Settings")
Disadvantage: This works only if both folders previously once have been opend in a "standard way".

Ok, i reinstalled a couple of programs, then i get the shortcut in right place, but programs like tomtom i doesn´t want to reinstall i will try your way. But i don´t have resco, any regedit program will work, right ?
Here is the right way to assign a shortcut (and WM6.5 "Bronze" icon) for any program
This can be manually added to the registry or via .REG or .PROVXML
This example is for a standard REG (RGU) unicode text file, and will add a start menu ("bronze") shortcut with anasociated icon for a software called "goleada4.0", which is installed in "Program Files\Alcorcon" (just an example, not a real app, just wahtever came to my mind first )
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\Goleada4.0.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Profgram Files\\Alcorcon\\Goleada4.0.png"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher]
"\\Program Files\\Alcorcon\\Goleada4.0.exe"="\\Program Files\\Alcorcon\\whatever.qtc"
Notice the last line MUST be empty, following the standard .REG / .RGU syntax
Hope this helps
Wow! That's complicated. Why not just use the file explorer on the device, navigate to the .exe, copy and then go to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and paste a shortcut there?
Or you can use the attached programme.
hi everyone, I would like to associate "Home" and "HTC Notifier" to a hardware button, but I don't find respective .exe , it seems to be started with shell32 or whatever but I can't find any informations. Thanks for any advices.
Here some executables to standard defaults
Here some executables WM5/WM6 to standard defaults;
Start Menu
Message Notifier
View Program Files; folderview.exe Unzip and put this file in you programs folder and you will be able to add it to htc home
View Settings; htcSettings.exe Unzip and put the file in you programs folder and you will be able to add it to htc home
I'll get back to you @ a later time (with more executables). First I need to dig into my database; I'm missing a few realy handy utils! BBL,
Thanks Senax for your advices, but I mean "Home" such as "Show Desktop" ... and notifier for "HTC Notifier" in top bar which is too bad to launch from top bar ...
Show DeskTop - Today Screen
Show Desktop cq Today Screen;
via PHM Tools .. zipped and I do not know if its complete/original
Though Desktop.exe does its job Plus all other utilities
Have a nice day,
