Hello guys,
I've been searching a lot, yet could not find the answer.
I would like to be able to open either programs (meaning path start/programs) or just a specific folder from softkey or hardware key.
Is there any way to open the specified folder. Do I need to create a shortcut to this folder? I have tried something like /fexplore.exe /My Documents (which works) but I would need to be able to open them not in list view yet as the programs do apear.
Is there any specific command to at least run the programs, where I would just click the specific folder?
Thank you in advance,
tampiss
I guess a workaround would be a similar apporach to your, /fexplore.exe /My Documents (which works).
Find a file manger that will display in icon view, rather than list, or details... then make a shortcut using that.
Any ideas?
Resco Explorer look promising,

Total Commander CE does an Icon View.
Now... does it respond to command line switches, so I can get it to start in a specified folder?

I am looking for some help with "shortcuts" or ".lnk" files
I am using a HTC Tilt 8925 with WM6, but I think this may be a more universal issue.
I went into Windows > StartMenu and added several new folders, and then moved the .lnks formed from program installations into those folders.
For instance, folder "Refererence" now hold Dictionary, Lexipedia, Thesaurus, etc.
All was OK for a while, but then I started to get error messages about 2 application .lnks that I had moved into a subfolder. The funny thing is, the links actually work! It's just that randomly, I get a WM6 message that there is a problem with " Programs > XXX > AAA "
Does anyone know how to make a "new" link, to replace these old links? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and then moving those 2 .lnks, again, to the subfolder where I want it to be, but it happened again!
Thanks for any and all ideas!
PS: I have SK Tools installed; I thought there was a shortcut tool, but I cannot find it
Go into Program Files then whatever application you want the shorcut for. Copy the exe file then navigate to wherever you want the shortcut and paste shortcut. Rename the shorcut to whatever you want and the link is done!
Having said that if your shortcuts work sometimes but not others I cant see how it is a problem with the actual shortcut. You may need help here from someone more experienced than me.
Please bear with me, as this is my first windows mobile phone and I'm not all too familiar with it.
First problem is, tapping "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab does not work. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the Opera browser was not installed on my device! Now, as far as I know, it should come already in all devices. So, I downloaded the Opera 9.5 browser off their website. How can I set it up so when I tap "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab, Opera 9.5 will automatically run? Currently tapping it still does nothing.
Second is, I've been hearing about this "Windows" folder in the HTC Touch Pro. I can't seem to locate this. When I browse for it with my computer, the name of the TP's "hard drive" is "\", and then I see the following folders:
Application Data, ConnMgr, Content, Documents and Settings, Music, My Documents, Program Files, cemail (hidden file), pim
Is this root folder the "Windows" folder?
Third thing is, in the "Programs" tab in TF3D, there's this icon there that when I press (looks like the default icon for a folder in Vista), it gives me an error. It says "The file 'wt5jetpr' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
There we go, that's all. Thank you, if you've read this far.
I can't help with the Opera thing but as for your Windows folder, it's a system file and hidden. You will have to unhide it in your Vista/XP operating system before you can see it using your PC>
You see, I already enabled the viewing of hidden folders. There aren't any other items other than the ones I listed.
EDIT: I tried creating a folder called "Windows" and Vista tells me I can't, because a folder of the same name already exists.
That's weird.. hidden folders are already enabled and I still can't see it.
Hiya, i'm a bit of a noob myselft with regards to wm6.1 so for the opera issue i dont think i could be much help with that same with the file that wont delete so i hope someone else will answer that, to see ur windows folder though when the phone is connected to the pc open up explorer on ur pc and click on tools/folder options then click on view and make sure either the "hide protected operating system files" box is unchecked &/or the "show hidden system files box is checked and this should let you see the windows folder.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: looks like someone already answered in the time it took me to type that, my own fault for multitasking ...

Same thing as you, when I browse to the device from Windows Explorer.
However, if I go to Tools - Folder Options - View tab and I select "Show hidden files and folders", the Windows directory is displayed.

By the name, it looks like it is JetCet Print 5.
Strange you have these errors. Do you use a custom ROM?
PS: been too slow to answer too. but at least the answers match ;-)
I'm not using a custom rom =\. The rom came with my device.
It's:
1.90.405.1.WWE
It's a HTC Touch Pro T7272
Then I advise you to do a Hard Reset. Opera and JetCet print should be there, and should not give you any certificate errors.
I advise you to read a lot these forums, gather as much info as you can, and experimenting with your device. You have a powerhouse in your hands, you know? you have unlimited possibilities. Any questions should you have must be asked.
Alright, I'll give that a try tomorrow after the day's gone so I have lots of time to figure things out.
Sorry for the double post, but I figure this message won't get read if I simply edit my last post.
Anyways, I hard resetted the device and I got Opera and that printing program working! Thanks creiz.
Just one last thing I'm trying to figure out.. is there any way I can get a custom alarm ring tone without downloading a program? (I'm trying to avoid having to do that if possible)
I am flabbergasted: I can't find a way to manage the folders in Programs. How do I create an application sub folder and how do I move applications into it? This should be intuitive but I just don't find it. Thanks for your help
Using a file explorer (I use Resco), navigate to Windows>Start Manu>Programs. Then Menu>New Folder. You can then move or copy shortcuts as you wish. If you're going to be doing a lot of this, you can also just do it from your PC via Activesync>Exlplore or by using a remote control program like Pocket Controller.
thanks emesbe, but I probably wasn't clear: what I am trying to manage is the icons in "Programs" (e.g. Media, Tools, Games...). How do I move applications in or out? How do I create a new folder of applications?
We may be ships passing in the night here, but I think the answer I gave you is what you are looking for. "Programs" is in the Start Menu subdirectory in Windows. You can rename, move or create new folders in Programs and then put whatever shortcuts you want into them.
It took me a while to figure out what you meant. I still find the process very unintuitive. But thanks a lot
Consider Using A PC
If you have a PC configured with Activesync, why not use it to make the changes. It's a lot easier using a mouse and keyboard, and the familiar Windows interface over Resco or Total Commander.
If you don't want to sync your Fuze to the PC, that's OK, just click cancel on the first PC popup, and you can still "explore" the device from your PC.
Then, from the Activesync window on the PC, click explore, navigate to Windows (takes a while to load) / Start Menu, and move things around to your heart's content using your mouse.
Some files or folders may be marked read only or system. You can sometimes change this from the PC using right-click/properties. Sometimes, you will need to use Resco or TC from the device to change these attributes, but you can then drag/drop from the PC.
Hi all,
I hope somebody can help me here - this has been wrecking my head!
When i create a shortcut to a folder in the startmenu (wm6.5 build 23053) - it appears there i.e: shortcut to business, but when i click on it it comes up with a message box 'the file 'business' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists etc etc'.
Its like its treating it as a file instead of a folder even though i have set the regkey 'group' as 1 to indicate it being a folder. I have also got sdkcerts installed.
Thanks
Secc
Da_G just answered this the other day in the 6.5 thread. You need to tell the shortcut what to open the folder with. It has to be something like 'fexplore #\business.....' Obviously, I'm not good at shortcut syntax, but that's the basic idea. With 6.1, you could open a folder using the start menu, but the 6.5 menu won't open a folder.
Hey,
im looking for an app to mount/mapp Samba/Linux/Windows Shares.
I know, that this tool ment to do it but i dont need the whole other functions.
Anyone knows a "stand alone" tool/app (for WinMo 6.5 of course!) to do the job?
Thanks!
Resco Explorer can map network drives...

thanks for the reply! i'll check it out.
btw: resco is a paid app - if there is any, i prefer a free one
1. Network shares paths are stored under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\Redir\Connections\], where each key defines one shared folder, for example lets say you want to map \\Data\Data as folder Q on your device, the registry key would look like this:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\Redir\Connections\Q]
"Type"=dword:00000001
"RemoteName"="\\Data\Data"
you can prepare as many reg entries as you need this way and import it to registry
2. If you want to see the Network folder in 'My Device' in file explorer,
set the following registry entry to 1:
Code:
[HKLM\Comm\Redir]
RegisterFSRoot=1
more info here
3. probably (have no way to check it now), you can also access non-mapped network paths directly from File Explorer - check "Go To\ Open Path\New Path..."
