I really like Winmo 6.5 and the winmo 6.5 start menu, I've seen a few roms where the startmenu contains folders like applications, multimedia, tools etc. The programs installes can then be found in the according folders. I have the folders , but the programs are not in them, they are just in the startmenu. How can I put the programs in the folders ?

Windows / Start Menu / Programs is where the shortcut is you want to move, and the folders are folders in Programs, just move to the appropriate folder.
how can i change the looks of those folders??

Use your Registry Editor to go to HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start - you'll see that all of the existing shortcuts and folders have icon values. Just create similar for your new folder (ie I copied the icon value for the default Email shortcut to apply to a "messaging" folder.

I have been learning a lot about iconizing everything these last days, and I created some custom folders Vista style. So anyone ho wants to order his or here applications, here are some folders to put them in. They are VGA (tested) and should also be QVGA.
I named the folder 1 to 18, so everybody can decide for themselves which folder to to use for what purpose.
Since I use quickcab to create my cabs, which doesn't allow me put in the folder files, it's been split in two. A Vista Folders.zip which contains the Vista Icons.dll. Install this one in \Windows. The other one is a zip file which contains the Folder folder, with inside (who would have guessed...) the folders. Just copy them to your device (although I don't think copying them to the storage card works) and voila some more folders to up our devices. So, screenshots:
I hope you like them, and no I have not got any other folders (these are all vista offers)
Edit: I managed to create a .cab file that installs these into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. For those that don't have a English/WWE ROM I'll make another one that installs the folders into \Folder folder.
Edit 2: Shrank the .dll file, link is updated to vista folders 1.1
There is one icon set that is very dear to me, which is the Buuf icon set by Manhattan. Of this set I have selected a couple of folder icons most likely to be used in a ppc environment. This guy (or girl) created over 1500 icons in this style which you can find on DeviantArt. These are my default folder icons, so I thought I'd share. Screen shots!:

Not really a theme per se, for the taskbar mods check here for the font check diamond forum there is a topic about all kinds of different fonts mine is call hand_police or something
I managed to create a .cab file, which installs the folders to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, I will make another cab later that install the "Folder folder" into the root of the device, cheers 12
Updated The link to Vista folder with version 1.1
For an example: I installed "Messenger" and the program shortcut icon is in the main Programs folder. I have multiple folders in the Program page for each different type of application. How will I move the shortcut icon to a folder?
in your explorer go to my device - windows - startmenu - programs

Thanks bro.
(Originally posted on Rhodium Forum but should work with most devices running Manila hence re post here).
Hi all
To help organise my applications I've always wanted to be able to shortcut to start menu folders from within the manila program launcher but standard functionality did not allow for this.
I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416092
and I've developed the ideas a little and come up with a cab which will allow you to link to your Connectivity, Games, Multimedia, System Tools and Utilities folders within the Start Menu from the manila program launcher.
First go to Windows/Start Menu/Programs to see if you have the above folders, if you haven't you can create them. You don't have to have them all but the shortcuts will only work to the ones you have.
Then install the attached cab. This will provide you with a set of shortcut files that can be selected from program launcher as normal. (Thanks to Andrew-in-Woking and this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=1782122 for the icons which I used).
I've tested on my Kaiser and Rhodium both on WM6.5 and seems to work fine. Let me know of any issues.

An alternative suggestion for an uncluttered, ordered Start Menu utilising some new Folders.... to utilise, simply:
1. Connect your TG01 via Active Sync / WM Device Centre
2. Unzip the attached file on your PC; browse to and select the \windows directory, copy and then paste on top of the \windows on the TG01
3. Standard shortcuts are already in place under respective folders; you can simply delete from the \windows\start menu or drag/drop into folders as desired.
Could easily be built into a ROM (I have in own personalised WM6.5 version).

A 'spare' icon is included (F_TG01.png) which can be used to replace the 'Settings' icon on the device if desired. This cannot be renamed via AS - use Resco or equivalent to rename the original ..\windows\Start_Icon_Settings.png to .bak and then rename F_TG01.png to Start_Icon_Settings.png
NB. It now appears that this is dependent on having SK Shortcut Manager installed and saving the settings.... idc I will see if it is possible to extract those and save as a .reg / .cab so can also be set up without.
Hey that's really nice I like this. Sick of scrolling through tonnes of junk lol. Btw, is that wisbar adance or a custom rom you are using? I like the start button. Thanks for uploading this matey I must try it when I get my new SD Card
Hello
I searched on google and on Xda and I found nothing useful.
It is possible to make a directlink to the Programs and the Settingsmenu in WM 6.1?
I dont want to go everytime the way over The Start / Win Button to open these menus.
i can't use WW 6.5 because I'm on SE X1 and there is no bugfree german Rom out.
Thanks
These tools are unfortunately only usable for 0409 (english) ROM!

View Program Files; folderview.exe Unzip and put this file in you programs folder and you will be able to add it to htc home or create a shortcut to it manually.
