How to create a shortcut to today screen

Hi,
does anyone have an idea how to create a shortcut to the today screen?
i believe it's in a dll or some other hidden windows file, yet i can't seem to find it (and couldn't find it in windows documentation).
I read about some today.exe which was created for this purpose, but couldn't find the file
Anyone smart enough to solve my problem?

Just curious, from where do you want to create a shortcut to the today screen?

From iFonz, so i can switch to default today screen fast and easy

just double-press "Windows" button

Try Resco Explorer.

Don't see how that would help me, so since you have to pay for it, i would like to find an other way...

QQ: customize FUZE keyboard FN shortcuts?

so has a way been found to change the programs launched by things such as the music button or IM or CV?
would be nice to have added availability as landscape TF3D suckzorz

This functionality is enabled by the keypad.dll in my ROM, also I replied to a post on this forum with the relevant shortcuts you need to modify in the stock Fuze driver.

im not using a stock fuze im on provens rom so what must i do with that keypad.dll?

Well, you'd need to know if it's been modified or not. If not you use the shortcuts I posted in this forum a few days ago.. search for all posts with "AT&T Music", that should bring it up..

thanks alot
and for others here is Da Gs post that showed me what to do

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.

How to point to a folder instead of program in Start menu?

HI
When one clicks the Start Menu/button in TF3D, a page with programs will open up instead of the WM start menu drop down.
My question is how does one assign one of the buttons to point to open a folder (eg Games Folder) instead of a program?
Thanks for reading and your help

This might help:

Thanks
Exactly what I was looking for. All is done manually but it didn't take so much time.

Thanks for your help.....
Will try it out....
Another thing - anyway to turn off the TF3D start menu and reactivate the standard WM dropdown start menu?
Thanks

I am not sure to understand exactly what you want.
If you want to unload tf3d please go in setup => personal => today => then in element unselect TouchFlo3D.
My Rom is in french so I am not sure about the translation. I attached some screenshot : it will be easier

he does not want to disable touchflo3d, when he goes to the touchflo3d startmenu he wants to assign one of the buttons there to open a map(out of the box you can only open programs in the start menu of touchflo3d))

It's easy
- Open your registry editor;
- HKLM - Software - HTC - EnlargeMenu - EnableManilaStartMenu (Change "1" to "0")
- Soft reset...
That's it No need to install any .cab or smthing...

Yes, it will be great if we can have both where Start menu still can be active w/ drop menu and the Windows key button still can be a short cut to program short cut menu.
Anyway to get both of this together since the Diamond2 tf3d menu does not have Program SHORT CUT menu but using the windows start function.

Is there any way to keep the WIndows button as the Program shortcut key & the WIndows Start menu as Drop-down menu.
If I change the value from 1 to 0, the program shortcut function under window button does not work anymore/
Pls help

How to add shortcuts to QuickMenu 2.8?

Here's the topic where u can download the app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340352
anyway since i'm using WM 6.5, the old nice start menu has been replaced, and i missed having 8 shortcuts simply by pressing start menu. So, a good solution is to use QuickMenu, it lets u use the old WM 6.1 start menu as well as letting u use the WM 6.5 start menu (which is basically just opening the Programs folder, kinda pointless IMO).
So anyway i'm happy with QuickMenu but have trouble finding how to add shortcuts to the list, i fiddled with all the options but can't figure it out. Anyone plz guide me?

It's just like any start menu. Copy shortcuts to \windows\start menu\programs\xxxxx. Total commander is the best tool for the job. Not sure what you mean about the 6.5 start menu only opening up programs. I thought that was what it was supposed to do, lol.

No, what i said was that the WM 6.5 start menu only opens up the Programs folder, instead of showing the drop down start menu with the 7 or 8 program shortcuts where u can launch them straight away.
I.E, the WM 6.1 start menu is just like the start menu on your computer. On WM 6.5, it just opens up the programs folder, there are no drop down menus when you click start.
Anyway i already have shortcuts in the path \windows\start menu\programs, but you have to assign them to QuickMenu, u have to add them to the shortcut list.
This is the same for the start menu on your WM 6.1, you have to go to Settings --> Menu Launch list (something like that) and tick the shortcuts you want to show.

When you select shortcuts for the 6.1 menu in the 'menus' applet, it just moves the shortcuts to \Windows\Start Menu from the Programs sub-folders. The 6.5 start menu shows more than just the program directory; it also shows the Settings directory. I'm pretty sure that it will show any shortcut placed directly in \Windows\Start Menu; I've put things there by accident and they've shown up in the 6.5 start menu. You'll have to do it manually with total commander or something similar. If you get the shortcuts there, they should show both in quick menu and in the 6.5 start menu. You should only be able to put 7 shortcuts there, though.

thx i got it working, ur rite, i just have to copy shortcuts from:
\windows\start menu\programs
to
\windows\start menu
edit:
OK nope it's still not working. For some reason, after 2 or 3 mins, the shortcuts I put in the \windows\start menu folder always get moved to the \windows\start menu\programs folder instead. The shortcuts aren't deleted, they're just moved automatically. I noticed this problem occurs on the WM 6.1 as well.
I've only added 7 shortcuts to the list so it should be fine, i can see the shortcuts on Quick Menu but they just get moved afterwards.....

Same question.

Remapping softkeys in TouchFlo 3D

Apologies if there's already a thread about this; it seems like there should be, but I couldn't find one.
Anyway: I recently upgraded from a Kaiser to a Touch Pro (AT&T branded Fuze), and while I like the TouchFlow 3D interface in general, I'd like to remap some of the softkeys do do different things.
For example, I use O3Touch as a contact manager (http://www.o3touch.com/screenshots.html), so I'd like to have the "contacts" softkey on the home page, and the "all people" softkey on the people tab to point to that instead of to the default contact manager. I never use the calendar, so I want to use the "calendar" softkey on the home tab for something else.
I can't find any obvious config files, reg settings or apps that can remap softkeys within the TouchFlo interface. Can anyone help?

download and install total commander and navigate to \\Plugins\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and change HomeLSKPath, HomeLSKText, HomeRSKPath, and HomeRSKText to what you want. You can only change the softkeys on the home tab though.

Thanks!
That does exactly what I want.

Can someone here tell me what is the app name for the Contacts application, I want to put the shortcut as one of the home screen softkeys but couldn't find it.
I searched \windows folder but it's not there. Thanks.

noob
Sorry to ask here, can't find with search.
Is there a possibility to remap right softkey in order to turn on/off wlan.
It would be useful.
Maybe just putting the link to "Windows/Comm manager" or something more
direct?
EDIT:
No problem I found solution
