Im have a HTC Touch and I would like to remap the short-press power-button.
I did not find a way to do that.
In shap`s tool this is greyed out for the power-button.
So how to manage it?
Thanks!

the first link should get you going in the right direction, you just have to change some links in the windows folder.
Yeah,
but I dont have any of these .lnk in my windows-directory.
I could create one, yes, but if they are not there.
Sorry for my english.
Did you use the windows file explorer and which phone are you using
I use Total Commander and I have a HTC Touch.
EDIT- nevermind look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1783616#post1783616
looks like you should just be able create links and it should work.
So it seems its not possible - creating a .lnk did not help

OKay I know windows but mobile Windows got me....
Have files and program on a memory card, and I want to create a shortcut/link to that file ...how in the hell do I do that.
I want to be able to start my program from say the start menu and going to programs and seeing my icon there...
Is there a tool or registery hack for mobile 6 that might do this?
Thanks
Use either the built in file explorer or something like Resco file explorer,go to the file or exe. you want to make a shortcut of and click and hold your stylus on it,when you get the menu choose "copy",now go to your Windows,Start menu,Programs,scroll to the bottom of the page and click and hold your stylus,choose" create shortcut" from the dropdown menu,you have your shortcut.
Since I have dumped the ATT rom and use MSN messenger the IM button is nowrendered useless. Anyone know how to map it to Messenger? THanks!
Anyone have a solution?
Fuze Keyboard re-mapping
Someone smart know? change keyboard layout on fuze to do this:
Function + IM button to run MSN messenger
I've never used this- so I'm not positive. But I think this is exactly what AEButton Plus can do.
I think you can assign any button to any program, so that might work for you.
Good luck!

This program will work perfect... Heres the problem now... I flashed to Romeos' new rom and that button is mapped to Contacts. So when I hit it now it opens contacts over msn messnger. how can I keep Contacts from opening. Isnt there just a way to get into the Registry and change the app that is asigned to the specific Key?
I am searching for the simplest solution to this. All I want to do is have the FN options for music open up my media player, have the globe button open up OPERA instead of PIE, the CV button to open up cellular video, etc. How do I edit the functions of these keys specifically in the registry? I don't want to use other software, just want to edit these keys and that is all. Could someone please advise.
There has to be a solution to this because one of the custom roms lets you re-link these keys using .lnk files. I think it is the DA_G rom.
agreed, I have searched the forums, but can't find anything that pertains to the FN capabilities of certain keys that I am knowledgable enough to understand... I have searched the registry and through the windows folder looking for something that could be edited... to no avail. I try.
this may help: http://www.ppcmobility.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119&highlight=keyboard
This is not really gonna help me sadly. It may work, but would add an extra step, which is what I am trying to minimize. Almost miss the cluster of buttons on the tytn II, never thought I would say that...
keypad.dll driver in HTC Fuze Stock AT&T ROM executes 2 functions on each keypress - one is to pass the raw key code to the OS, other is to look for a shortcut in a specific location, and execute it if found. It is through this method that PTT can be re-bound, for example, through \Windows\Short_PTT.lnk and \Windows\Long_PTT.lnk
Stock driver executes the following shortcut when IM key is pressed:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Instant Messaging.lnk
So to bind that key to Messenger, you simply need to create or copy a shortcut for Messenger, put it in the start menu, and name it "Instant Messaging"
In my cooked ROM i have modded the keypad.dll driver so that the start menu does not need to be cluttered in such a way, driver looks in \Windows\ dir instead.
Hope this info helps!
Thank worked like a charm.
Thanks for the info.
hmm. tried the .ink shortcut, tried aebutton, guess it's a no go for now on ROMeOS

Make sure it's not an .ink but .lnk (letter L).
also monx may have changed the driver in a similar way, maybe ask him if that's the case. Could be looking for the shortcut somewhere else.
I am looking in the windows directory now and was able to find the short_PTT.lnk and the long_PTT.lnk and was able to get them to work for the PTT button. Awesome, that is cool. I am looking for the right .lnk file to adjust to make the FN key do what I want to do, but I ran into a bit of a dilema now (by the way Da_G, PP on the way), the FN music button is not currently assigned to anything as well as a few others (from what I can tell) since when I press them, nothing happens. How would I locate the proper files to edit and create a new .lnk file for these buttons?
Had to bust out the good ol' hex editor to refresh myself on this since it's been a while since I modded the keypad.dll, but here are the stock shortcuts it looks for:
\Windows\Start Menu\Calendar.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Instant Messaging.lnk
\Windows\AppButtons\Contacts.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MEdia Net Home.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Cellular Video.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\AT&T Music <--- note this one will open up the folder, not execute a .lnk
\Windows\Short_PTT.lnk \Windows\Long_PTT.lnk
\Windows\Short_Powerlnk \Windows\Long_Power.lnk
\Windows\Short_Explore.lnk
\Windows\Short_OperaL.lnk
\Windows\Short_Messaging.lnk
\Windows\Short_SMS.lnk
There's also \Windows\Long_Send.lnk, but that's reconfigurable through the button settings app, so probably don't need that one.
Hope this helps! The keypad.dll in my ROM remaps all the .lnk's that aren't in \Windows to be in \Windows, to avoid the need to stick stuff in the start menu where you might not want it.
I am going to try this out, just put on the InvisiShield, so I am waiting for that to cure before I turn the Fuze back on.

Do a search. Someone posted a simple way to program the long and short press of the PTT button. No reg edits, no program to install. You can map the buttons to any programs.
I used it on my pro. Just do an XDA a search for mapping PTT button. You'll find it.
Here's a tip to those who don't want to flash ROMs and want to remap those buttons. Make a duplicate of the thing you want a shortcut to, name it the right thing and put it in the right place, and then set it as hidden. Now when you browse in the start menu you do not see it, but the button will open the right thing.
Hi all, my first post!
Obviously u can tell by my nickname that i'm a long time symbian user, trying wm for the 1st time in a long long while.
Anyway, i was wondering if there's a way to change the file extension usingi the phone itself. Im trying to change a .zip to .theme but i cant figure out the proper way to do it. I know i can do this easily using a pc but im at work and cant do that stuff here, so im wondering if there's a way to do it using the phone without downloading another application to do it.
Oh, and yes, i did do a search for this already. Couldnt pinpoint exactly what im looking for.
Thanks!
Use resco explorer
i downloaded 2008 Resco Explorer, but cant figure out how to change the file extension...
oh well, i guess this is one not too many are familiar with.

No, it's just too obvious for most people to bother with. Go to the file you want to change, hold the stylus or your finger down on the and a menu will pop up. Scroll down to "rename". Then name it whatever you want.
Not so obvious if you read the entire question.

Renaming the file is not the issue. It's the extension.
I don't use resco, but it's trivial with total commander.
Hi, where are located the entry of the parameters menu ? Because in the connections tab, i have an entry i want to remove...

Not entirely sure what you want to remove or from where? What device and rom you using too?
I believe the OP wants to remove a Settings shortcut. I'm not sure how to do it with 6.1, but if you're using 6.5, then you may be able to delete the registry setting for the .cpl (may take some work figuring out which is which) to get rid of the shortcut. Look for it in hklm-security-shell-startinfo-start-settings. It may not work-you'll just have to experiment.

Im confused, if the OP wants to merely delete a shortcut from a folder in the start menu (wino 6.5) he can use total commander or file explorer and manullay delete or move to a different location?
I might be missing the point here though

It's harder with Settings shortcuts, though. They don't appear in the start menu directory most of the time. Only the Program shortcut show up there. I guess yiou can also delete the registry entry for the setting in HKLM\ControlPanel. That should work if the one in HKLM\Security\Shell... doesn't do the job.
Hi, i knew i was not really clear ! I typed it from my phone... too quick.
So, i'm using wm6.1 with a stock htc rom on my touch HD.
In the settings, connections tab i see and old Wifi router entry... if i click on it nothing happens and i have fulle removed this prog. So i would like to delete this entry.
As i said, i can't find any .cpl for this entry. I looked in the registry but no way to find it.
Hope i 'm more accurate now

I don't know if these keys exist or not in 6.1, but in 6.5 there are a bunch under HKLM\ControlPanel, and a lot of them are just numbered somewhat randomly. I have 3-8, 10-15 and 35. Then there are keys for Advanced Network, Backlight, Buttons, etc. If it's numbered, you may just need to use trial and error (back up before randomly deleting, obviously).
If the app was something you installed and then removed, it may have put an actual shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Settings\Connections folder. Check to see if it exists, then delete it. I can remember having an app that did that once or twice. If you still have the cab file, you can analyze it with sk tools or winCE cab analyzer and see where it sticks the .cpl or what it's named.

Thanx. I see those random digits in the registry, but no way to identify which goes to which Andno it is not a "simple" link

Well, back up the HKLM\ControlPanel values, then start deleting the keys one at a time (you may need to soft reset after each one). When you find the key that gets rid of the shortcut you don't want, then restore all the original keys, and delete the annoying one again. It may not work, though-I'm just guessing that removing the keys will remove the shortcuts.

Looking for a simple small windows program that will simply show correct icons for .apk's on my PC
I set a default .ico for all my apk's but something showing the correct .ico for apk's would be great.
Is there one available?
Thanks to anyone replying.
There's got to be something??? anyone?
I remember when I played around with a Nintendo DS I found some type of shell extension that would show .nds games icons...
Was really hoping this was out there for .apk's
Really....no one can answer me on this subject....ugh
Either its a dumbass question and the asnwer is so simple anyone reading it just pass's it up, or noone is understanding my subject...OR theres nothing out for pc to do this...maybe i should make something?
Anything guys...**** give me an answer....even a "hey ceaser shut the **** up" would be somthing
Im talking to myself in this thread

Not anymore, i might have a solution for you
first get the image you want to use as an icon and resize it to be EXACTLY 256x256 and in .ico format
then click run in start menu and type regedit
allow UAC if needed
make backup of registry
if you want to just change the icon to know what it is, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk
if it isnt there, right click on the folder and create new key called .apk
check if the (default) entry is blank, if so, then create a new key in the same place as .apk and call it something.Assoc.APK (not tested)
in the new key, create a key called DefaultIcon, and in that create a REG_EXPAND_SZ and put the full path in quotes of the .ico file
tell me if it doesnt work and include screenshots
Thanks for the reply...whats I actually ended up doing is making an .ico of a droid and basically setting the file extension within windows to use that ico with any apk...thanks for the info above though
