i've been searching for while for a program that would allow to easily add/remove programs from start menu list, since it becomes a burden in a while
(the ones from windows/start menu/programs path and from registry)
any help ?
You can give a try to SKTools, or JSPA program manager(freeware), on this forum,
Google is your friend....

Hello all. My Qtek 9100 had a button to invoke the Comm Manager. On my P3600, this button is gone. I now try to map CommManager.exe onto the voice recording button. The application commmanager.exe does exist in the Windows directory, but when I try to map it using the "Buttons" Control Panel, it does not show up in the list of available / mappable application.
Any hints?
Thank you, Stefan
stupid question
This question was stupid - sorry. I found the answer in one of the forums:
"Go to windows directory and you can find CommManager.exe file. Create a short cut and copy to "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" . Now Comm Manager will apear in your available programs list. No go to Settings --> Buttons and assign it to any button you want."
Thank you! Stefan
Hello
I have a few questions about cooking WM6 ROM.
Could anybody help me?
1. How to make my own menu start structure?
2. How set my own ring tones to notifications?
3. How to make HTC Home pack with covered contacts, music and profiles tabs?
I know these have been covered elsewhere, but maybe not explicitly and in one place - so:
1) In an Initflashes file, you'll have to tell it to move a shortcut into the \Windows\Start Menu\ folder, or the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder - depending where you want the link to show under the Start menu.
2) Change your ringtone/notifications to the one you want, then look through your registry for it - you might want to look around the HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds and HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications keys. Once you've seen how you want them set up, make (or edit an existing) .rgu to include these changes.
3) Have a look in Alex's excellent kitchen at the existing HTC Home modification packages. These should point you in the right direction for what files and settings to include (don't use HTC Home so can't help more on this).
If you don't know what I mean by any of the above, please do an awful lot more looking around the Wiki and related threads as starting threads around here when the information is here for the finding is a quick method for lots of flaming and not much help (friendly advice - not a threat!)
Good luck.
Thanks for answer.
1) This it’s clear for me. But I don’t know hove to change place of existing shortcut like: Mobile Office, search, Note, etc.
2) I will try this way.
3) I don’t know why, but Alex's HOME packages don’t work correctly on my Polish rom. Can’t use weather and launcher tabs.
4) I had make my own HOME packages based on previous version. In this version I don’t have tabs with settings.

While most shortcuts are set by initflashes files, the ones for those in the ROM are often set by .provxml files. In the case of Office, this is in mxipupdate_office_100.provxml which is in the SYS/Office folder in the kitchen. I just use Notepad to edit it.
Sorry I can't help with the HTCHome bits - just takes up too much space on my Today screen for my liking.
Are there any tutorials on creating sub folders in "Programs" that have a icon image associated with them (like the Office folder)?
Moving thread to Q&A section. In the future please post Questions there.
Sub folders
Hi
Start Menu program folders are within the main "Programs" folder here:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programmes\Office Mobile"
for example. You can use software like Total Commander to go to this folder and create new folders for programmes. Basically you need to create a new folder then create a new shortcut in that folder called icon.lnk. The short cut shoud read "1#\XXX\YYY.dll,-ZZZ" without the quotes where XXX location of the .dll or .exe that contains your icon, YYY is the name of the .dll or .exe and ZZZ is the number of the icon resource within the .dll or .exe file.
Check out the link "Start Menu Customisation" in my signature. If you need more help then please post back.

Hey people,
I've been googlin and checking this forum but I just cant seem to find how to move the icons in your Programs list (Start> Programs) toanother directory in your list.
For example you got a Map called "Navigation" any my TomTom just shows in the main Progams map. I want it to be in Navigations though...
Couldnt find anyting in the registery aswell, anyone know how to solve this?
Moving thread to Questions & Answers section.
Now to answer your question...
Using File Explorer, browse to Windows > Start Menu > Programs and simply cut and paste the shortcuts you want to move.
For the last week, I haven't had any luck finding answers to this stuff.
First order of business:
NetFront Browser is, in my opinion, the only mobile browser; so I'm cooking it into the ROM. But, I want the IE hotkey to open it - I can't find the reg entry, anywhere. Is it part of a library?
Second order:
Generally, how do I add new regs in SuperJust?
Show me a screenshot of what hotkey you're talking about?
Sorry what I meant by hotkey is the [alt]+[right arrow] command which opens IE by default.
But I found a shortcut (by accident!) ---
You can edit "\Windows\short_ie.lnk" to any location, using SPB Plus or Total Commander.
However, I can't find this link file in any of the Kitchen directories to have it readied to the ROM... and I'm still unclear on how to add the new registry entries I have that will bypass the SPB Shell & Netfront activations.
Oh, for educational purposes of course
Look at Ivans Justhome files in the kitchen i believe he has edited a hotkey in his reg. Not 100% sure though.
