Don't use the inbuilt file explorer to rename files. Use the freeware data manager total commander instead. The inbuilt file explorer can't edit links or show file extensions - if you try to rename something to xxx.LNK, it will really be xxx.lnk.txt (or something).
For those of you who want to build the ICL (Icon Library) files themselves, this should work, it's freeware: http://eng.softq.org/icl_builder

Feature settings are the little programs that you use to change the settings for your Pocket PC, such as your password, sounds & reminders, memory, the PC Connection and other things.
Shortcuts to Feature Settings are very short plain text files with some text in them. First I'll explain the format of these text files then give an example.
nn#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,i,0<CR>
nn#
Replace the nn variable with the number representing the total size, in characters _including spaces_ in the line of text following the # (pound) sign.
ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,
This is the program to be executed. For feature settings, this will always be the same. Don't forget the comma; it is necessary to separate the command from its parameters.
i
Replace the i variable with the index number of the feature setting you wish to run (See *).
,0
This is the variable for the optional tab number to select. Numbering for tabs starts from the left at zero (0). The tab here is only necessary if you are specifying a tab number; otherwise it doesn't need to be specified. So you may omit this part of the text line entirely if it's not needed.
<CR>
This represents a carriage return. Instead of a true carriage return, today we depress the Enter key. (In other words, don't include the literal in your file.)
* index numbers;
0 Contrast
1 Password
2 Owner Information
3 Power
4 Memory
5 About
6 Backlight
7 Align Screen
8 Input Method
9 Sounds & Reminders
10 Remove Programs
11 Menus
12 Buttons
13 Today Settings
14 PC Connections
15 Modem Connections
16 Clock
17 Network Connections
18 Regional Settings
Some feature settings on some devices go via mycpl.cpl
ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,2 - backlight
ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,4 - microphone agc
ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,5 - battery status [ same as cplmain.cpl,3 ]
ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,7 - permanent save [ contacts, etc ]
ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,8 - device information
ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,9 - add ringtone
ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,10- autoconfig
ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,11- gprs suspend mode
ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,12- gprs authentication
ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,13- csd line type
Use an ASCII text editor to create *.lnk files. I used MobilePad, though now I'm using PHM PowerToys which includes notepad.exe (capable of reading/editing Unicode).
Example
Menu Settings;
52#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,11?\Windows\cplmain.cpl,-5150
or
45#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,11?shellres.dll,-13895
?
Everything after the ? is used to identify the target icon offset in ANOTHER dll/exe/cpl. Change the 0 to specify an offset.
* View *.dll files with icon_viewer.exe (attached below) unzip, COPY to Device (PocketPC) and run.
S-K-Tools delivers their old icon set in a dll.

PHM.Pocket.PC.IconsLib.zip also contains an IconLib.dll

Philippe Majerus developed some nice applications. Unfortunately his page [ www.phm.lu ] is down, though here on depositfiles you'll find a small *.zip with most of his *.cab files plus his former www pages. Remember most of his tools are from 2004. IMHO you will find Reset.exe and Suspend.exe from PHMPPCPowerToys.Rpr_ARM.CAB suberb!

Download htcSettings.zip and unzip it (it's file attributes are set to 'secret' so if you don't see it after unzipping; enable explorer to show all files cq use Total Commander). Then put the file htcsettings.exe in you programs folder and you will be able to add it to htc home.

Just a minor issue : When I select a contact to be sent as vcard but don't select whom to send it to and click send, I get a force close ....
