Can I delete items from the desktop of my XDA. There is an Agile Messenger message there that I do not want and do not know how to remove it.
Thanks.
My expirience: many of apps requires registry cleaning...
system->today->item
uncheck the ones you dont want
otherwise you need to edit your registry to remove the items
Hi Guys
I came about this and thought That I would post it here for all those users that are missing the New Menu function in WM5.
It was posted in a webis Mail Group by a "Mark"
-----------------------------------
Using the WM5 New Menu With PI
One thing that earlier versions of Windows Mobile had that is missing from WM5 is a "New Menu" on the today screen. This handy little menu used to contain shortcuts to creating new items of various types, such as appointments, tasks, Word documents or notes. PI used to add its own shortcuts to this menu, and it's sadly missed by many people.
Without the menu, new items have to be created by first opening the programme in question, and then selecting "new" from within it.
There are two workarounds available. The first is to use the shortcuts contained in the "Informant Utils" folder that PI puts into Programs in the start menu. This works well, but can take several taps, and PI will load fully each time you use one, before the relevant new item dialogue box appears. Obviously the folder only contains shortcuts relevant to PI too, so it's no help as a one-stop-shop for creating new items of all types.
The second method is to use a handy, and free, third party utility called the WM5 New Menu, available from http://www.saman-cz.com/ppc/index.html?nmnovrw.html. Basically you get the old New Menu back, though in a much more configurable version.
Having installed the utility, and without any further configuration, you'll have a menu available which will contain shortcuts to a standard list of new document types, including appointments, tasks and contacts. However, assuming you have PI set as the default PIM, these items will behave in the same way as the shortcuts in Informant Utils do - they'll fully open PI at the same time as opening the new item dialogue, which you may not want.
A bit of additional configuration can overcome the issue. Firstly, download and instal "NewMenuItems_English.ARM.cab" from http://download.pocketinformant.com/6/CAB/NewMenuItems_English.ARM.cab. This will instal the old WM2003 shortcuts, though you won't see any change to anything just yet.
Now go into settings for the WM5 New Menu, and on the second tab add a new item, selecting "New items sub menu" as the type (remember to name it - I used "New..". Confirm that, then double tap on "New.." in the list to see its contents. Uncheck the ones you don't want, and then tap back. You can now uncheck the items that are duplicates of those in your new sub-menu.
It may seem subtle, but the shortcuts in the New Items submenu WON'T launch PI when you select them, which makes them much more elegant.
It's a shame these old style shortcuts have to be in a sub-menu and can't be included in the main menu, and/or that you can't put other items in the sub-menu with them, but nothing's perfect!
The utility is way more than a re-instatement of the old New Menu BTW - you can have up to six levels of cascade to it, can open all kinds of files and shortcuts, and best of all you can add shortcuts to dial out or send an SMS to specific contacts.
Hope that's OK.

Is there an application somewhere that will let you select an app (or app key, or whatever) and then go through the registry and show you ALL the entries associated with that app? Including links, settings, etc?
I think something like this would be useful for programs like Sashimi and such in that one can look at the reg entries for a particular app and get things like the reg key, etc. A lot of the time this info in stored deep in the registry and just looking at it doesn't tell you what it is. Having something to back-trace this info would be nice.
I don't think there is anything in SKTools to do this, is there?

I'm pretty sure memmaid does it "installed programs" but not installed on phone as use SKTools.
sktools will do this. It even analyzes cabs and shows you what reg entries it will make! very sweet! its buried in all the options somewhere but it does do it.
This is useful too:

No need to change anything in the registry.
It's very simple: just go to the contacts tab and press 'more'. At the top of your contacts list, there's an entry called 'me'. It's meant to be your 'business card' or something. Anyway, just fill in your details (or if you already have a contact entry for yourself, you can assign that to the 'me' card).
The name and e-mail adress you enter here will automatically (and secretly) be used as owner info.
I could register Resco Explorer just fine, without ever bringing the original owner info settings back.
Thanks a lot...

I wonder if it works the other way around as well. I mean, if you change your owner info to your nick in the registry (or by using the 'old' owner settings icon), does that affect the name you entered in the 'me' business card?

yes... the "me" is only a shortcut to that data on the registry.
edit .
Nothing of all these tips works for me.
I can't register some applications that base their register upon the owner info (like hicalc)
Maybe someone knows the registry entries that stores the owner info?
Thanks.
Nacho Garcia.
In the Me contact I had both first and last name filled out. Found that the registration name (owner) was both names without a space in between! This foxed me for a while but registration worked once I realised.
problem solved with the "Touch X show owner.cab" from the thread:

Thanks to all.
Just an FYI, Owner info is located in the registry under; HKCU\Control Panel\Owner

what if you don't have that reg key?
Install BsBTweaks, which is free. Once installed, tick the "Owner Info - Show or hide the Owner Info in settings." button.
Then in Sense, go to the "Settings" tab. In the bottom bar you have an option to "Show all settings", That will take you to the settings page where you will now find "Owner Information" settings.
HTC really should have made it easier to find.
Hi
With the amount my phone randomly formats itself lately it would be very useful for me to have a script or similar which could set-up my email accounts again. Does anyone know how to do this? I do have Mortscript but do not know how to make it do anything complicated.
Thanks

Yeah, I made a few provisioning XML files which contain all my email settings for my 3 accounts using Sashami. Register an account for the forum in the link (or otherwise obtain login credentials) and download the .cab. Install it, and open up Makisu (in the Sashami folder). Follow the wizard to create a provisioning XML file for an email account. When you're done, you should have an XML file which can be imported using tools like XDA User Customization during the initial boot (built into many cooked ROMs), Advanced Config, and Dotfred's Advanced Task Manager (though IIRC you have to rename the extension from .xml to .provxml to import with Dotfred's task manager). You can even make the XML file into a .cab by following these instructions (under "Creating the CAB File"), so you don't have to import it or change to a ROM with XDA_UC. This may seem like a lot of work right now, but you'll be grateful when you don't have to set up your email for the 70th time.
Thanks Dave. Sashimi is brilliant!
