Add file to WM programs list

I have a exe file on my Touch HD which is an application. It wasn't installed on my device, it was simply copied from my computer. To access the application, I currently have to go into file explorer and select the exe file.
I would like to be able to access the application from Start/Programs. Is there any way that I can make a link to my file appear in the programs list? Perhaps a new registry entry??
Thanks

Move the exe file to your programs folder manually
Edit: Sorry I just thought actually that I don't know if this will work for your device (Touch HD with WM 6.1) but it works for me with my device and my ROM.

on my Nike with 6.0 i do it by copying the exe file and paste shortcut to Start Menu/Programs

Actually you are not making a shortcut, you are copying the whole exe to the programs folder. You should actually cut and paste that way you are not having the program exe twice on your device - Save space on your internal memory.

it's .lnk file and has less than 1 KB. But thanks in advice

Loading Themes/Skins in SPB Shell 3.0

1st I just want to say how great this site is!
This may be a stupid questions, but I've tried searching for a definitive answer on XDA and can't find one.
I have an VZW Omnia i910, I'm using SPB MS3 with the skin pack from http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.php, but I would like to load some themes/skins that are available thru XDA that I found in this thread. I'm not sure where to put the .dat files that accompany the .cab files?
This is the folder structure I have
My Device >> My Storage >> SpbMobileShell3.0 >> SpbMobileShellSkins with the folders Commons, Original, Scripts, WQVGA. Do I put them in one of those folders?

No one?

Have u installed the mortscript itself? It would be easier to customize SpbMS skin after installing mortscript

I have different folder structure from yours but u're right that the .dat files should be placed inside there
sorry for my bad english, HTH

Thanks for the reply.
I use the MortScript that came with this. So I should put the new skins/themes in the same folder as the MortScript file?

No, not in the same folder as the mortscript file
I also use the mortscript from imarche site. In my nike, i dont have to copy and paste the .dat files to Program Files>>Spb Mobile Shell 3 folder, simply go to:
Tools >> Spb Skin 4.0, and there u can customize background, buttons, weather images, etc. But of course for another skins without mortscript, u have to copy and paste the .dat files to Program Files>>Spb Mobile Shell 3 folder (manually)
*PS:back up your original files before customizing it

Thanks again....I will try that.

PROBLEM
Hi, I have a Touch Viva with SPB MS 3 and the skins imarche but I can't see the complete icon of weater in a page

how to add shortcut to the start menu?

Hi Guys
I've got a folder on my storage card which contains a mobile ver of online comunicator(GG) this works without instalation so could you tell me how I can add a shortcut to it to the program list (start menu) to be able to put it on the quick links? thx

You can use Resco Explorer. Just right click on the exe file and choose send to start menu as shortcut.
Other file explorers will probably have similar functions.
Or just create a shortcut for it and paste it in \windows\start menu\programs

thank you.

thanks
thanks alot.. it help.. now i can add apps to my desktop

shortcut

Hi. I instaled app. but there is no shortcut at programs. How or where can i put the shortcut or the exe file?

Dear friend.
I am not a Techy person. But, I think you can do this.
Put .exe file or shortcut file in windows/startmenu/programs. Then it will be found in Startmenu / programs.
SIRESH, INDIA.

thank you.

Just find the exe file, click on Copy, then go to windows/startmenu/programs and click Paste Shortcut, after that you can rename it how you want it and it will be in programs.

Lnk file (not ink) is already a shortcut link itself. No need to create a shortcut link from another shprtcut link.
