kuba
You can't exactly delete it off, but...
I also am a happy owner of a Treo 750.
In my experience with this phone, you can't exactly remove the E-mail link off all together, but you can 'add' a function to that left soft key.
All you need is a reg edit program, and....
Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
For Default data change the text of the left soft key. For example I changed mine to Messaging.
Change Open Data to the exact location of a program link.
For example if you want to change it to the messaging program you would change it to "\Windows\tmail.exe" Note that the quotes must be included.
When you have everything set with the name and file location....exit and soft-reboot your phone. Now, when you click the left soft key, it should come up with the program link that you wanted with the email link next to it.
It's still there, but at least you can use it for something else as well.
Hope that this is useful to you and good luck...=)

I've got a UK Orange M600 (Prophet) and have a number of today plugins but i'm running out of screenspace in the today view.
there is a taskbar at the bottom with an icon for the comm manager which i'd love to get rid of. I already have a hardware button for the Comm Manager i don't need an icon on my today screen as well and it takes up the whole width of the screen even though it is just one tiny icon
does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it, i've even swapped to the latest Dopod rom and not loaded any of the extended ROM and it is still there
Sorry if this isn't exactly the right place to post this but it's been driving me crazy.
Any help would be appreciated
Go to windows\startup. There should be an init_tray.lnk there. Delete it, then reset the device.
Cool
thanks worked a treat.
I knew it should be something simple
Do you know what Capnotify.lnk is? which is also in my startup dir
Nope. It links to Capnotify.exe in windows dir, but I have no idea what that does.
You could always try cut / paste to move the link somewhere else, boot without it and see what's missing (my guess, some notification won't work).
As long as you don't delete the link completely it should be relatively safe.
Instead of being lazy i looked it up
found this
Looking inside my \Windows\Startup folder on my Wizard, I found a shortcut to an application called CapNotify.exe. Upon inspecting the file in a hex editor, I found a registry key called "EnableIndicator" which was not found in the registry. After creating the registry entry called EnableIndicator at \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and assigning the DWORD value of 1 to it , then soft-resetting my device, an indicator appeared next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen! Tapping the Shift key showed a "C" while tapping the Dot key showed a dot! Very cool!

sounds like a typical Windows Thing, something which is run all the time on everyones compauter but not even enabled in 99% of cases
OhWell
Thanks. No I know I can get rid of it since my device doesn't have a hardware keyboard.
Hi
has anyone been able to change the left soft key butotn from mail to somthign else... like say "New SMS" or New Message?
And how does one stop the data connection without having to use the stylys, On my imate jam i could just hold the red phone down key.
thanks
maybe wm new menu works on treo that changed the keys on my exec
You can not disable the E-mail button on the left. You use the Softkey applet file wich adds a second option. So if you set it to Messaging you will have two options: E-mail and Messaging.
Strange why they don't let us change this. I believe that it must be possible but some Guru has to look at it Seems like they are all in the HTC Wizard-a-like sections
I hope this is what you are looking for.

Like I said, you can change it, but you always keep the E-mail option on the left softkey. So this is the solution I was already using. But thanks anyway
Ok, so I just realized that it's very troublesome to compose a new SMS, have to go to the inbox, press right soft key, press left joystick, press down joystick to select SMS and then start composing
So I got an idea to configure the Messaging button on Tornado Noble to point to the compose SMS straight away. I did some google, and found the attribute to the tmail.exe application.
So I tried to create a shortcut named Long_AP2.lnk, in it contain this line
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
I saved it and transferred it to my phone, but it don't seem to work, feeling that my attribute might be wrong, I saved it as Short_AP2 and put into my phone, it works and by pressing the SMS button, it opens SMS composer straight away.
So the question is, why can't I get it to work on Long_AP2? Or the file name is supposed to be something else?
I also want to ask, what i that number 19 at the beginning of the line, hardware keys?
I think that the LONG_AP1.lnk activates when you hold the button for a few seconds.
Lol, I know that for sure,
I want to make long hold to activate compose sms, but short press to inbox
Anyone can help me? This is for our own good
keybddr.dll didn't support Long_AP2.
These aren't attributes. Attributes are what tell us whether or not file is hidden, read only etc...
These are parameters or switches.
I don't understand why you need to use a parameter to make tmail.exe open with a blank text message. Unless mine is broken, that's what it does by default. (In fact, I think mine is screwed up... wtf?)
Have you considered using mortscript?
andot:
If keybddr.dll doesn't support long_ap how is the media player supposed to use this for FFW in music/video?
I think it's supposed to support it.
I mixed up, it should be arguments
At default, it opens the inbox, not the blank text message
Long_AP2
With "AE Button Plus" you can map simple, double, triple and long click to one key.
This is a very usefull utility !
you need to modify the registry keys to use AEB Plus with the multimedia keys.

Hmm, I don't like to install additional cab to do simple stuff, perhaps find out what registry changes it does, and incorporate into a cab which installs the button, ill chk it out later

I fixed it. Don't know how it broke, but it works as you describe.
Is there no way to make a text version of a mailto: shortcut?
Good that you fixed it, but hope we can have 2 purpose with a button
short hold for inbox, long hold for sms
as you know, with Wm6, composing sms is even more troublesome compared to wm5
Hey,
with my old Wizzard and WM5, when I used to just write someones name in the To: field, it would go through my address book and find that persons e-mail address.
Now on my HTC Vox with WM6 it will not do that, I have to go into the menue and look at my directory.
Is there any way I can turn that option on, so I wont have to go through 2 menues before?
Thanks,
WA
no ideas?
No one have any idea to change the settings for this?
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone that celebrates it.
start typing and then press right softkey+2
Could you please clarify where the right softkey is? I have the HTC S710 and am using the keyboard.
The right softkey is the key that when you press on homescreen you will get to the Contacts. And when you press the left softkey, you will get to the start menu.
hah thanks, I feel stupid now .
Too bad it does not look into the directory automatically though, as it did with WM5. Is there a way to turn it on?
no
......
Is any body can help. How to change the Camera and Contacts from the bottom of Today's Screen. It always happen that camera turns on.
I had a program SoftKey Changer.cab on Palm Treo Pro to change soft buttons. But that program is not working on My Sprint TP2.
Thanks.
I was wondering too. The camera button is really annoying cause I don't use the camera so often.
several threads on this. too hard 4 me to copy links while using my phone, but u can search 4 manila today softkey 4 more info. in short, you cant change the right softkey (contacts). well u can change what it says but u cant change what it does. u change the left softkey by editing the following registries:
\hklm\software\htc\manila then change:
HomeLSKText (type in we text u want displayed. i used Files)
HomeRSKPath (it seems backwards to edit R & not L but do it) change this to the location of the program u want to run (i used \Program Files\Total Comander\cecmd.exe)
exit registry editor. go to another tab and when u go back to today screen u will see your changes
