I've been searching for awhile on this forum, but I still can't find a way to create a shortcut that takes you DIRECTLY to a new text message or new calendar item.
Since I have my calendar on the homescreen, the only reason I actually go into the calendar app is to create stuff - why not just have the shortcut directly to it?
This seems like it would be relatively easy to do, but any ideas on this or something like it would be greatly appreciated Ideally, I'd like to set my 2 homescreen softkeys to those for one-touch access.....
thanks in advance

Anyone have an easy way of creating a shortcut on a WM6 device to an Internet Favorite? I am sure its just in the syntax, \windows\iexplorer.exe "http://mywebsite.com". I can not figure out how to create a blank shortcut, maybe there is an applet that helps with this. I want to create these shortcuts, hopefully with custom icons, that i can use in the HTC Launcher. Any ideas folks?
You could always just open the file itself....
I guess my problem is more that I can not select "files" from the HTC Launcher setup tool. It only shows you a select choice of what looks like registered programs. So I need to somehow register an internet favorite and change its icon.. one thing at a time though, i would settly for just registering the favorite.
has there been a way to change these yet?
such as contacts id like to have it launch icontact and the notes one to launch evernote
Yes, when I've tried different TouchFlo themes, some have changed, for example, the email button so that it opens a new email instead of opening the inbox.
Unfortunately I don't know how to do it yet, however my guess is that you need to search the forums about making changes to the 'manila' files that reside in your Windows directory.
In the short term, I can however tell you how to change the two landscape soft keys (I have one set to open a new SMS to my girlfriend - barf - and the other toggles wifi on and off.....

I'm trying to use the default WM 6.5 today interface, chome is it?
Anyway, some things bug me compared to TF3d and TF3d2, so I'm asking if there are some experts who might be able to help me out?
Is there a way to get the Pictures today plugin to point to a different folder than the location where camera pictures are stored? I've tried using the today chome editor, but can't get anything to take. I have a folder on the root of my storage card call Pictures were I store photos from my desktop. I'd like it to point there.
I find both quick launchers to not be very effective if you have many programs you want to add there. Is there another way other than the start menu to have a quick launcher? I liked the one in TF3D. I find continuely scrolling left or right one program at a time to not be very effecient.
The same goes for Internet favorites as well. A better way other than scrolling left or right to find the one you want?
I'd appreciate any advice. If there isn't a better way then that's ok, I just figured I would ask. Probably just me.
Thanks.
if you like tf3d why dont you run tf3d?
You can always create a folder in the start menu with links to your pie favorites. It's pretty easy to do. I don't use the pic panel, but go here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CMyPhotos]
"LocName"="My Photos"
"ICONPATHS"="2451;2451"
"GUID"="{4F612B1A-E470-4b31-9386-AC396AEDAAF9}"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CMyPhotos\Images]
"chMyPhotos_DRM"="2453"
"chMyPhotos_default"="2452"
See the last value? Maybe if you change it to \Storage Card\Pictures, you'll get what you want. It's just a guess.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why not simply "slide left" to go directly to the people page? (by default it is the second tab)
--or-- make a shortcut link to \windows\manila.exe --switchtopage people.page
then touch "All People" to load the detail page. There may also be a shortcut to load the All People detail app directly, but I don't know of it, sorry...
Cheers for the reply... I was trying to get my tabs as minimul as possible to only 4 and the settings plus I dont like the big people icons on the people tab normally... will try to make a shortcut, cheers
i believe there are mods to do that in the tweaks, you make the icon smaller and transparent. otherwise hide the tab completely by sliding over to the right for settings tab. click on personalize then home screen tabs. uncheck and clear the boxes of all the unwanted tabs. just make a shortcut at your home screen. i generally just hit phone at the bottom in the menu to get to my phonebook.
Hi everyone!
Sometimes when I'm reading articles on my phone, I will send it to my email to reread later. However, for some reason the icon's on my share menu keep rearranging themselves and I have to scroll to find my email client.
Is there anyway to customize the menu so that the apps that I want to use are where I want them?
Thanks!
