How to add shortcuts to QuickMenu 2.8? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

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.....

The drop down style Start Menu (I assume thats what you are talking about) is done by QuickMenu. Turn off QuickMenu if you prefer and when you click on programs you get a window open with all the folders and program icons that you can scroll through. Some prefer that, and others like the dropdown that Quickmenu offers.
Enjoy!
oh nevermind. i didnt mean it like that. i thought there was just a way to get the programs folder into where it will show all instead of clicking more
Turn off quickmenu and install wisbar advance

Getting programs on the today screen

I'm trying to get a program I installed to have a short-cut on the today screen. However, its not showing in the list under Start > Settings > Personal tab > Today
Is there any other way of getting a shortcut on the today screen, or getting a program to appear in the list of programs that can be selected from the settings menu?
Cheers!

Hi, you could manually create a shortcut of the program, and put it in the start menu, located under device/windows/start menu. You need a file manager to do this.
Bye.
Normaly you won't be able to make shortcuts on the today screen whith the method you want...
Some 3rd party apps whith Today plugins allow to add shortcuts to the plugin... Such a today plugin is shipped whith your PDA (if you have an original TC, not the O2 version...), the plugin is the HTC Home plugin which has a shortcuts tab. It allows for 9 shortcuts to be set.
If you find the HTC Home too bulky, there are always alternatives, like SPB Pocket Plus 4, Resco Toolbar (comes whith Resco Explorer), and so on...
Ahh... sorry, I misunderstood. I was thinking to the start menu.
Installed programs should appear in the startmenu automaticaly... atleast into the programs folder... If you want to add programs to the dropdown menu, then go to Settings -> Menu...

Your question should really be in the Topaz general section. If it was you would have seen a link to this ......

Since this is the start menu of TouchFLO you can not devide it into folders.
You need to use the default windows mobile programs for that.
You can easily move files into folders using a file explorer:
Directory: /Windows/Startmenu
I know it is a simple registry key to disable the touchflo start menu, but I don't know which, but you should be able to find it using the search button.
One solution is to totally disable TouchFLO, but I guess you would like to keep that.

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 can I organize the Start Menu without actually organizing the Start Menu?

How can I organize the Start Menu without actually organizing the Start Menu?
I have an HTC Touch Pro2 with the factory installed Sense 2.5 and Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM. I've added CHT. Every time I install a program, it naturally installs the shortcuts to the ../Start Menu/Programs directory. If you later organize the shortcuts, you break your Quick Links and Free Links. If you do an update, the program's shortcut gets installed back in the default location and you need to delete or move them. If I could just let the programs install in the default \Start Menu\Programs directory, and have something that could organize the display independently of the way they are stored, I would never have to change the default program's default shortcut location, and could organize and re-organize the "Start Menu" at will without breaking links. This is not a problem for Windows desktop because you don't generally have a shell above it like HTC Sense, linked to the shortcuts of the Start Menu. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
The cure would be if Sense + CHT could link to files outside of the ../Start Menu/Programs directory structure.
Thanks!
