Using the built in file explorer, create a shortuct to that file (Copy, and then click "create shortcut").
Rename the shortcut if you want to, and then copy it to "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" using the built in file explorer.
That will make it get picked up by other program menu software.

thank you very much for the info. its working 100%..

Add file to WM programs list

I have a exe file on my Touch HD which is an application. It wasn't installed on my device, it was simply copied from my computer. To access the application, I currently have to go into file explorer and select the exe file.
I would like to be able to access the application from Start/Programs. Is there any way that I can make a link to my file appear in the programs list? Perhaps a new registry entry??
Thanks

Move the exe file to your programs folder manually
Edit: Sorry I just thought actually that I don't know if this will work for your device (Touch HD with WM 6.1) but it works for me with my device and my ROM.
on my Nike with 6.0 i do it by copying the exe file and paste shortcut to Start Menu/Programs

Actually you are not making a shortcut, you are copying the whole exe to the programs folder. You should actually cut and paste that way you are not having the program exe twice on your device - Save space on your internal memory.
it's .lnk file and has less than 1 KB. But thanks in advice

You should be able to paste the .lnk file into your start menu
but the pro doesnt show the start menu, TF3D i do not know how we can add a link
create the link in \windows\startmenu, rename it if you like, and it will be shown in the programs list.

First, installing iGo to your storage card should still put an iGo program folder in Programs.
Second, all you need to do is open File Explorer and navigate to the iGo.exe, and copy it to the desired location.

how to add shortcut to the start menu?

Hi Guys
I've got a folder on my storage card which contains a mobile ver of online comunicator(GG) this works without instalation so could you tell me how I can add a shortcut to it to the program list (start menu) to be able to put it on the quick links? thx
You can use Resco Explorer. Just right click on the exe file and choose send to start menu as shortcut.
Other file explorers will probably have similar functions.
Or just create a shortcut for it and paste it in \windows\start menu\programs
thank you.
thanks
thanks alot.. it help.. now i can add apps to my desktop

Just go to the folder Windows/Start Menu and delete all unwanted shortcuts!
Why? Windows?
I'm on my HTC Mega, the only buttons i see are: "Block" and (when i press up on a folder) "move up"
In my phone when i connect it to my pc, there are no folders called Windows or Start menu
Can you explain better? Thank you
Hi Exkill,
Do edit your file system, you'll need to install a different Explorer. The one in-built with ROM will not be able to help you. Try for these given below
"Resco Explorer"
"Total Commander"
Google & install.
Using these explorers, you'll be able to find the "Windows" folder on your device. Then Browse to "Start Menu" & then delete the unwanted folders / shortcuts.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
HD

The below works for me.
Run the exe of the installed program from your SD Card (In my case, SASHIMI), and a shortcut will be placed automatically in the Start Menu. Now when you try to add it on one of the CHT empty quicklinks (either 1.8.5 and 2.0), you'll find it in the programs list.
Hope this helps.
I have fexploreext installed which adds additional features to the file explorer. one of which is the ability to click on any .exe and create a shortcut in the start menu without all the hassle. you can then select it to be used in CHT.
and if you still want to know how to do it manually :
- copy an .exe file
- past as shortcut in : Device/Windows/Start Menu
Go into file explorer.. find the exe.. hold it down.. in a few secs a screen appears that gives.. add to start menu... as an option go back and it should be with al lthe other programs
Thanks
Thank You all!
Ii's OK for my iGo!
