looking at "\windows\startup" folder will solve the problem if I understood right

I thought so, too, but nothing about the missing .exe file is listed/mentioned in the windows\startup directory. :?

Did you check the contents of the links? Maybe one of them leads to the missing exe.
If not, get a registry editor (like PHM) and check the content of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Inint key.
BUT BE CAREFUL!
Deleting the wrong value from this key will lead to hard reset!

Get hold of a copy of MemMaid. http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14279
It will work under evaluation for 30 days.
When you have it installed, look at the "Notification Queue" - in here are the tasks that are started when a particular event occurs - such as waking up from suspend mode.

Thanks for the info, guys! I wound up hard-reseting it, anyway - I had played with a lot of different software and had a lot of "remnants" on it, but knowing where to look in the register and learning about memaid will be useful later.
Thanks again...

Microsoft voice command...remove "start"

Hi,
I like microsoft voice command but i use it, just to start mortscript scripts.
I am just wondering if there is any possibilities to remove the fact to say "Start" before each call of a script. I checked the registry, the .DAT files, the ini files, etc... in the pocket itself, but unfortunately without success.
Nobody know? or at least nobody know if there is a possibility to change "start" by an other word ?
Thx,

WinMo6.1 - Notification Error on startup

When starting my WinMo6.1 device my start screen welcomes begins wiith a Notification Error which is......
Cannot Execute \windows\myphoneruntime.exe
I have actually removed Microsoft myphone beta as i believe it was resulting in conflicts with TF3D not loading, but my phone obviously believe's its still their.......
What I need to know is how or where should I look in the registry editor to remove the line entry which is causing my device to think it needs to run a program which has been un-installed?
Thanks in advance........

First thing to check is if there is a shortcut in the \windows\startup folder, and delete it if there is.
Failing that use a registry editor with a search feature, (I use resco), and search for and delete any references to it.

Thanks for the advice. I have downloaded and installed the Resco stuff (very cool software compared to what i was using) but I still couldnt find anything. I haven't exhausted all search options yet, but I didnt think it would take much finding to be honest. Will let you know if i get this fixed

programs don't close

when i press the x at the top, programs don't close anymore... it's still in the task manager. i changed the settings to close without holding but it still rmains in the task manager after closing it. how do i fix this?
edit:
also i have throttlelauncher installed and as my today screen. and recently hard resetted-this didn't happen before the reset.
also another problem i'm having is trying to make xml files open through a notepad program so i can edit'em by clicking/tapping on it. tried to assign it to shamasis's notepad program using advanced config but when i click the xml file it has an error:
"The file 'vars' cannot be opened. Either its not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found...."
is there another way to associate xml files with a different program?

This problem is usually caused by today's theme, remove the throttlelauncher, that can help you.

oh... well i'll just have to deal with it. soo can anyone tell me how to associate a program to xml files? tried advanced config.

i took off throttlelauncher from the today item but it's still not fixed......

Setting left softkey to Windows Contacts

Hello,
I am trying to set my left softkey to the windows contacts app, a shortcut to this app is \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.ink .. which leads to poutlook.exe
Regardless of what I set the LSKpath to in the registry editor, I always get an error that the file can not be found.
The only time that it will work is if I set it to the manila contacts app ( Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page )
For example, I set it to " \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.ink " or ":MSCONTACTS?outres.dll,-10000" or "\Windows\poutlook.exe" even "\Windows\appbuttons\contacts.ink"
it will say: "The file 'contacts' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of the components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file"
Like I said this only happens with the Windows Contacts app, but not the Manila Contacts.. Any ideas??
I'd really like to use the windows one because it loads alot faster..
Thank you, sorry for the lengthy post

Hi,
are you on a official or cooked ROM? If it's really a matter of trusted certificates, you could try to install sdkcerts.cab on your device..hope it helps.

I am on an oem rom, what does this cerficates thing do ?
Thanks

It disables certificate warning and allows you to install\run uncertified programs.
To test for your softkey, navigate to the shortcut in explorer and make sure it opens before adding to registry.

lol, apparently shortcuts end in .LNK not .INK .. that fixed it

That's funny!

I´m trying to do the same since hours: connecting the LSK to the original WinMo contacts interface (not the HTC one). And I begin to resign...
I entered the ValueData of the according entry in the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA\HomeLSKPath) to:
\Windows\poutlook.exe contacts
or
\Windows\poutlook.exe
or
"\Windows\poutlook.exe" contacts ... and so on. But nothing happens when I press the LSK. Not even an error message.
What do I wrong? Could PLEASE somebody tell me the right command for the Value Data (respectively the right argument for poutlook.exe to start the contacts-interface)?
Thanks in advance!
p.
ps: Ok, call me stupid... or noob. Finally I found out, that the Registry is an other thing than a CommandLineInterface ;-) and that the argument "contacts" has to be written in HomeLSKArguments and not as an argument behind the program path in HomeLSKPath...
Finally it works!

Another option would be Windows\Startmenu\Contacts.LNK (or whereever the link resides)

use shaps advanced config to edit it if you want
