Program to issue a soft reset

Is there a free or fairly cheap program that will soft reset this phone? I don't want to buy a program for $30 just for this one feature.
Its a PITA having to take the phone out of its case, open the card slot then press the button.
Thx..

Will a free program do you
Try PSShutXP - http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/ - it should do the job nicely!!

or magic button which is also free

I decided on Magic button. It has a task management feature that I like. I can now get rid of another program and use this one to:
1) Soft Reset
2) Actually close programs
3) Have a task manager
Thanks

Wow. thanks for the advice and hints regarding this. I've installed it in my 750v with wm6 and it works fine. Now i can soft restart my device without the need to open the sd card cover. thanks!

here is the link to the Magic Button software:

magic button caused a problem with my WM6.
it caused the send button wont work to show the call log pop up menu. i had to hard reset the device to fix the problem because uninstalling it didnt solve the problem.

Quickmenu has a built in feature and also the ability to export the command to a shortcut. PHM tools also has a standalone reset file.

I use this one and its free.

WK taks does the trick and more
It is also a task manager, very customizable, has a reset function, and it is free.

How can I get the <-- button to close programs??

Is there any way I can configure the 'back' button on my Pro to actually, close programs instead of just leaving them running in the background eating up resources???
I've set the "tap x to close programs" setting but it doesn't seem to make any difference and I really hate having to press that little "x" key in the top right corner with my big thumbs!!! I also checked out the "Raphael Tweaks" but nothing on there either.
Anyone got any ideas????

I use WkTask manager that actually close programs with back button.
Disable HTC task manager and install WkTask (freeware).

Cheers mate. This may be a stupid question but how do I disable the HTC task manager?

I use QuickMenu to close task with the back button.

Start -> Settings -> System -> Task Manager
Select "Button" from the tabs and uncheck both check boxes.
Done.

I think every task manager which does it's job will do that, exept the HTC Task Manager crap.

OK this is really getting me down now!!!
these various task managers, like the default HTC app, all close the application when you TOUCH the 'x' button but they don't do it if you press the hardware <- 'back' button??
I also notice that unlike my Artemis when you go into settings -> buttons only 1 button action, Button 1 (hold), is available. where the other 3 buttons are is a mystery button 1 btw turns out to be the phone send button.
So my question is two fold, before I throw my TP out the nearest window...
1. does anybody know of a way to configure a TP so that when you press the back button it actually closes the application?
2. anybody know if there is a registry key or someway to add the other 3 hardware buttons to the settings -> buttons configuration app??
Pls help before I go totally MAD!!!

Hooooo Rahhhhhhhh I found a solution... and it's called HandySwitcher from Dinar Soft and it works perfectly. You have to pay for it but I would willingly pay 10 times the 10 Euro price tag to keep my sanity!!!

You could try AE Button Plus to map different functions to existing buttons (including single, double, triple click and long press).

I've never used wktask, omg.. Why?
Its so nice... thanks for this thread lol
only thing I miss is the memory usage in % that htc task manager got

Not tried AE Buttton but I did try WKTask and I thought the interface was a bit "clunky" to be honest but more importantly the hardware mode didn't work so using the <- button didn't actually close the applications which was what I was looking for.

Freeze and reset on close apps

Hi,
yesterday evening I've found a new problem: when I close any apps using the "X" button in the right top, the Diamond freeze and I must reset it, instead if I can close the apps using the Exit voice from the internal menu, the app close correctly.
I've got the same problem if I try to open the application management menu that appears only in the home (with the list of open apps and the 3 icons). I click on the "little arrow" in the right top and the Diamond freeze.
If I go to Start -> Settings -> System and then i click "Managed Programs" the Diamond reset.
I think is a problem of Windows Mobile.
Anyone had the same problem?
Thanx

AT&T Tilt/HTC TYTN II problem

I have a tilt/tytn/kaiser and I was recentrly doing some modifying to the home screen. I tried out the touch commander software, but promptly removed it after seeing how slow it was. and now everytime I pres the 'x' at the top right corner of the screen to close any type of program, the program does not close and continues to run. in addition to that, the icon that is normally in he top right corner of the toda screen that opens the task manager is no longer there. I basically can't close any program, so i'll have 10+ progras running at a time.
a soluton would be very much appreciated. this problem can get pretty irritating

Settings->System->Task Manger
Have you tried going to Settings->System, then Task Manger? The Button tab shoud be abe to change the current behavior you described. Set "End programs by tapping X" and "Enable Quick Menu on Today screen". If this does not work, you can either reinstall Task Manager or perform a hard reset.

lol
thank you very much! I don't know why I didn't think about that.

works good, only breaks the notification when clicking on the icons on top. Further too bad cannot close all tasks at once. Would be better if it was more configurable, but now i can switch between programs fast
thanks!

Breaks notification screen and cant figure out how to open it. Think i will stick with Dutty's task manager
thanks anyway

Install it a second time, it will tell you it will uninstall first, press ok and after reinstall reboot and it will be there.

Thanks for all the info!
But notification bar is still broken..I mean it still shows everything correctly, but once I tap it there are rather ugly windows menus instead of the original one...
