I guess this is more of a WM6 issue but since I'm having the Raphael I posted it under here.
The thing is as you all could read in the Title that whn you want to check your sent items folder it only show you your own address = From fileld. This makes it very difficult to find the proper mail you looking for.
Is there someone who nows a registry tweak for this or even better a .cab file you can post?
Cheers

Does anyone know how to do this within the contacts? Personally I would like the option to look up contacts via first name etc.
Also, does anyone know how to sync with a Motorola V3?
Thanks in advance.
Crash.
Workaround
A workaround:
Open each contact in Outlook, and change the "Store as" value..
(Default is "Surname, firstname")
Then save contact and move along to the next one..
A pain in the a** if you have a lot of contacts..
There might be some tools out there though..
What about a solution WithOUT the outlook workAround?
you can save the persons whole name under one section. eg first name 'steve dibs' last name ......
just click the down facing triangle then enter the name in one of the sections.

ps i feel your pain
Or use a different PIM, most give you the sort option in there contact list
it's probably not what you want i know but i gave up with contacts list when i got this app from this site ,it is a fantastic little app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11120
perhaps someone who is good with reg hacks might beable to help
i was told this would be an area to look in for changing the last name first name lay out of contacts in my Imate jam
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AddrBook
however i know extremely little about changing registy items.
set Display name in Contacts
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\contact\cproghook]
"FL"-> Set 0 if LastName then FirstName, 1 if FirstName then LastName
this was apparantly one for changing the display for another device
so i was kind of looking for something similar but it eludes me
any help would be most welcome by alot of people id reckon, me for sure anyway.
comments about switching contacts managers are unwelcome....i havent found another which i feel intergrates well.
thanks

excellent! not quite what i was after in terms of usage, but does the required function
"FileAsFL.arm.CAB v 1.0" is the cab to get it in the ver last post.
doesnt actually automatically change the way it displays the name, however it does let you change the way it is viewed after an entry has been made. so after you enter the name you need to select it and choose file as from the tools menu in contacts....or just "ctrl A" to select all then change the file as from tools menu.
very nice simple work around.
thanks

http://www.shubaroo.com a Norwegian site has made this little program http://www.shubaroo.com/Kontaktfiks_ppc_installer_v1.2.CAB
Install it and open the KontaktFiks from your program folder
Do as in the picture, and that will fiks all yor current contacts to "First Middle LastName"
@Bosjo
does that program make all new entries file correctly as well?
Speedn
No, only the ones that are in the Adress book.
Do you guys want me to make an english version of this program?

Same here
English version is available for download at www.shubaroo.com
The new version also gives you the opportunity to add the Company name to the File As field. It will then file the contacts as: "Firstname Middlename Lastname (Companyname)".
The new version will only run on WM 5.0 devices. Both Pocket PC's and SmartPhones.

Hi, There is any registry patch that allow only to change the display ?
leelouch (HTC P3600 - S300+)
I have the same frustration and created my own program to fix the contacts, even allowing for your own custom formats and using the Company Name field. I hope you find it helpful!

Hi,
Posted this question in the prophet forum but thought it might not be just unique to the prophet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53384
Can anyone tell me how to turn off logging and creating these large files? Their file name is DbgToStorageLogX.txt where X is a number.
It seems to generate up to 4 of these all around 3mb each.
I can delete them manually, except for the one that is currently being written to. I've searched through the registry but can't find what is causing it and can't find any reference to the file on the net or this forum.
Thanks,
Craig.
Hello,
After upgrading to WM6, I found when viewing SMS messages that the left softkey no longer gave the option new, just delete.
I put together this little shortcut which will send you straight to a new SMS.
I then mapped the shortcut to the now defunct video call button.
Download and unzip the attached file. Copy the extracted file to somewhere on you device (I put in in \Windows\AppButtons) and then edited the following registry entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2
amending Default from "\Windows\AppButtons\Video Call.lnk" to "\Windows\AppButtons\New SMS.lnk" (you will need to amend this to wherever you put the New SMS.lnk file)
Hope that helps, but you are amending and playing with your phone/registry so I take no responsibility for anything you mess up!
Sorry if this is a known resolution, but I hadn't seen anything specifically in this forum, and not one with a complete solution.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the little tool. I was wondering if the 'Delete' option could be turned into the old 'New' setting without loosing the video call button?
AFAIK No!
I've searched the forums and nobody seems to have an answer for this. I can't find where in the registry to edit either (I'm no expert of registry settings)
This seems like the only option for now. I think the softkeys in the mail app are hardcoded, so would need someone with more ability than I to take apart the tmail.exe file and make the required alterations. Still after nearly a year of ownership I've never used the video call button, and find it handy to be able to go to a new sms from anywhere on the device. Maybe this will be addressed in a future build of WM6? Or possibly someone will give the option of either NEW / DELETE...
Well.. Thank you for the workaround.
I'm looking for a solution, too.
I HATE that "delete" button, it's really boring!
Please help me!
Hi!
Please help to me! i want to create a shortcut send SMS in PPC, but i don't know how to do that? (example: send "GPRS +" to 8125 by SMS)
Many thanks
1. I don't understand what you want to do.
2. This is the forum for the HTC Universal device, judging by your username, you'd be better asking your question here
(anyone else think that HTC has made life a little complicated calling one of their models the UNIVERSAL...)
try vjphonetools do a search on the forums
Please help me!
Hi!
I want to design a page web run in PPC, so in this page, i create a hyperlink. when i click this hyperlink , the PPC will be send "GPRS +" to 8125 by SMS.
Many thanks.
Awesome, this is exactly what I needed!
hello,
by default - holding the red phone-hangup button brings me to today-screen.
but in my case i don't use the windows mobile today screen at all! i installed pointui - as autostart.
i hardly have any reason to go to the today screen.
can't i change this behaviour somehow ? when i hold the red hangup-button i want to go "back" to pointui - not to today-screen.
in case there's no solution like that - is there at least some kind of today-plugin that could bring me back to pointui home ? maybe so alround-lauch-exe-plugin ?
by the way: i'm talking about WM2003SE!
thank you!
I'm sorry that I do not know the solution to the problem. Please, next time you post, do not make a misleading title (! instead of ?) in the wrong section.
If you can post your device i can tell you if you can use the Long_End.lnk trick.
I can then also move this thread to that device's Forum.
A good start would be to contact or check the PointUI website/forum to see if the home.exe accepts a parameter
(home.exe -h)
To return to the home screen
But the Long_end.lnk does not work on all devices.
Will put this into the general forum as Pointui does not have an active development thread here.
Attached you will find a shortcut file.
Change the .txt to .lnk then copy it to the windows directory on your device. Hold down the read Call Button and keep it pressed.
This may or may not work on your device.
But there was no information about your device or rom either in your signature or post which makes it hard to actually give a good answer to your question.
Cheerz
hello,
the device i'm talking about is a magician.
i changed the Long_end.lnk - to the correct path of Home.exe and copied it to \WINDOWS <---- really windows ? no subfolder ?
i tried - does not change anything. anyway - thank you for the info!
another idea ?

Yeah magician i'm not sure if it has a rom that supports this function.
Touch, Kaiser and some others do. It's hardcoded to the Keyboard driver or keypad driver if i;m correct so i'm not sure it's use able in the Magician.
Oh BTW it should have been Long_End.lnk (Yup no subfolders)
But i have no other suggestion, maybe someone else has.
Guys, I have a very newbi question so pls bare with me.
1) I’m trying to find the post where there is a tweak that you can show 4 rows insead of 3 under programs and for the life of me I cannot find that past post… I’ve search everywhere and I’m sure I hv seen it before imbedded in a thread somewhere, so if you know pls drop me a line.
2) This is a really newbi question… I have installed Total Commander and if I were to change registry settings where do I find the string I’m suppose to change? I don’t know where to go to change these settings I read on the forums.
Yes, I know, but I am very new to this tweaking thing. Thanks a bunch.
Follow the directions in this post for changing the rows.
I know somebody made a cab for it (can't exactly remember the username but something that had a k8 i think) but can't find it as of now.
As for total commander, you don't go just messing with keys. Usually the directory to change a specific function with the registry is give (e.g HKLM>controlsetpanel>x>x etc).
