Ok, i reinstalled a couple of programs, then i get the shortcut in right place, but programs like tomtom i doesn´t want to reinstall i will try your way. But i don´t have resco, any regedit program will work, right ?
Here is the right way to assign a shortcut (and WM6.5 "Bronze" icon) for any program
This can be manually added to the registry or via .REG or .PROVXML
This example is for a standard REG (RGU) unicode text file, and will add a start menu ("bronze") shortcut with anasociated icon for a software called "goleada4.0", which is installed in "Program Files\Alcorcon" (just an example, not a real app, just wahtever came to my mind first )
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\Goleada4.0.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Profgram Files\\Alcorcon\\Goleada4.0.png"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher]
"\\Program Files\\Alcorcon\\Goleada4.0.exe"="\\Program Files\\Alcorcon\\whatever.qtc"
Notice the last line MUST be empty, following the standard .REG / .RGU syntax
Hope this helps
Wow! That's complicated. Why not just use the file explorer on the device, navigate to the .exe, copy and then go to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and paste a shortcut there?
Or you can use the attached programme.

What do you have to to do make programs appear on the "programs" menu in wm6? I installed a new ROM and have soem apps installed in the storage card that I would like to put back under the programs section.
Thanks in advance
You have to create a shortcut to the app that you want, and then copy it to /windows/start menu/programs
Greetings

Or, if you have installed "Resco Explorer", tap and hold on the ".exe" file then select "Send to" -> "Start Menu as Shortcut". After add all the shortcuts, soft reset the device and the added shortcuts should go to "Start" -> "Programs", (otherwise, they are staying under "Start").
i have a very easy solution ;-)
(if you know how to do shortcuts on a Windows System)
Open 2 Windows with the explorer. With the one you go to the Mobile-Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/ - Folder
and the other one you go to the directory of your storagecard, where the exe of the program is.
now do it like in Windows.
Right click and Hold the exe-file, and drag&drop it to the other Window with Start-Menu open. And click "Create Shortcut here"
Here's a solution if you don't want to install a third party application or don't have access to activesync
Thanks to mobinauts for this.
i) Open your File Explorer (default application).
ii) Locate the application's .exe file that u wish to create a shortcut for (usually found in its application folder and also usually the most outstanding icon in that folder).
iii) Tap and hold on it and under the sub-menu that appears, tap 'Copy'.
iv) Go to 'My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\' folder.
v) Tap and hold on an empty space and select 'Paste Shortcut'.
vi) U can then rename the shortcut file by doing a tap-and-hold on the file and selecting 'Rename' (e.g. 'Shortcut to Bejeweled.exe.lnk' to just 'Bejeweled.lnk' or just BW.lnk).
vii) Done = u should be able to access your application from the Start>Programs menu.
Is there any way i can add a shortcut to a java app onto the start menu?
For Example i have installed opera mini and want a shortcut to it directly instead of launching the java program and then opera 2. Thanks in advance
Don't have the answer, but just to add I too would love to have a direct link to Opera Mini from the HTC Home Menu, or Start Menu.
Someone will be along soon with an answer!
Anyone? Theres got to be a way
so no-one knows how to do this?
The parameter to start Opera Mini directly is (if it is your first Java app): -run s0_.
To create a .lnk (to use in HTC Home or a launcher) do the following:
1. Open a text-editor and put in this text: 28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
2. Rename the text-file to "OperaMini".lnk (or Internet.lnk or what you like, but it must be an .lnk file)
3. Save the file on your device in the programm folder
4. Choose this link in the application, you want to start Opera Mini from (for example HTC Home).
To start Opera directly from the cube, do the following:
Open a registry editor and go to: HKLM-Software-HTC-Biotouch-APLaucher-App4 (or which button you want)
Change the following keys to:
"Param": -run s0_
"Path": \Windows\Jbed.exe
"Name": What you like, for example "Opera" or "Internet", ...
Works fine on my Orbit 2.
Best regards
Lars
briliant, will try it in the morning. thanks
Works Great, Thanks a lot
Magic, thanks Starwalker!
OEM button settings?
crap I changed the wrong button. Does anyone have the OEM settings for the Comm manager? or maybe you can list all of them? I would just need the ones I changes the
"Param": -run s0_
"Path": \Windows\Jbed.exe
"Name": What you like, for example "Opera" or "Internet", ...
thanks....I didn't check the button befor it was too late.
thanks again
Does anybody know how to make shortcut from SD card folder to programs in Topaz?
Thanx
Do you mean how to make a program .exe file that is stored on your SD card so that the program appears in the program list?
If so I use the free "Total Commander" program that is a much better file manager than the WM effort. It has a facility under "File/>>>>>>/Create shortcut" you then select "Tree" and choose where you want the shortcut to appear.
Can't you make a shortcut (.lnk file) and place it in the "start menu" folder?
This is how a .lnk file that points to an app on my internal storge on D1 looks:
59#"\Programfiler\htcAddicts cleanRAM\htcAddicts_cleanRAM.exe"

I'm not sure but probably no. I haven't found in windows folder.exe file for shortcut creating. There are only .exe files for individual settings.
i've created a shortcut to the file and placed it in program files but it doesn't show up on my programs list. i've also tried changing the regestry but it still doesn't show up on the applications list. instead it appears on my start shortcuts with the icon as an empty folder, and it still doesn't open. i'm also having trouble creating the .ink file. can someone please give me more information on how to create the .ink file and where to store it.
thanks
WOW is this really so hard?? Start>File Explorer>Navigate to file>Press and hold>Send Shortcut to Programs then go to the programs tab and click a button and find it.
Step-by-step instructions for HD2:
1. Open File Explorer
2. Open IGO8 folder
3. Find IGO8.exe, press and hold, Copy
4. Press Up, Press Up, Open Windows (Main Menu)
5. Open Start Menu
6. Open Programs
7. Press Menu, select Edit, select Paste Shortcut
8. Optional - rename - delete "Shortcut to" so only IGO8 appears on Programs list
9. Optional - use Edit Quicklinks (must have Co0kies Home Tab & Editor installed) from Home page to install the icon into your home page quick links.

Uhm, yeah this thread is about a year old now, so they've probably figured it out by now....
BTW, its easier to create the shortcut with Total Commander.
Something that has probably been discussed before:
Is there an app that enables you to customize the WM6.5 start menu without having to move around .lnk files in \Windows\Start Menu via File Explorer?
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
