Start Menu not expanding - Touch Pro2 CDMA

I keep running into a problem with my start menu not wanting to expand to 5 icons across in landscape, instead it only show 3 very small icons across.
Is there a way to fix this problem?

Started having this issue again, so I started looking into the hundreds of threads on start menu customizing over the years. It appears that HTC added the 5 column landscape start menu as
StartMenuCust_800x480.cpr
What was happening was following registry entry is being deleted by some program on my phone at random.
To Fix Just add:
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartMenu\CustomGridForm = "StartMenuCust"

Today Screen Scrollbar ...

Hello!
I am wondering if it is possible to remove the scrollbar that shows up on the today screen? I have seen somewhere on the threads that you can remove the scrollbar from a today plugin. But is there any way using the registry?

The only way to do that is to not put more on it than it can show all at once. You can however make the scrollbars thinner by editing the registry.
HKLM\System\GWE-cxVScr for verticle scrollbars and changing the value to a number less than 13
HKLM\System\GWE-cxHScr for horizontal scrollbars
ehhh...
......
Well I do not have more than the screen but it still shows the scrollbar and moves just a little bit up and down. And because of that, it is covering one of my tabs from SPB Pocket Plus.

if u have good eyes, you can reduce the text size, go to start > settings > system > screen and the text tab....
You could take off an unnecessary plugins from Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items
But i'm guessing you need all the stuff on the today screen...
I have the same problem occasionally with cLaunch. If you have even one pixel more than what can be shown on the screen it'll put up that damn scrollbar. I also ran in to that problem before when I didn't have too much on the screen but for some reason it would be there anyway until I rotated the screen by opening the keyboard and then when I closed it again it would magically dissappear. I never did figure out why that was happening, but it hasn't happened since I started flashing new ROMS.
Just came up with 3 possibilities to fix your problem.
1. Check and see if pocket plus has a heighth adjustment. If it does, adjust it to be a few pixels shorter and see if the scrollbar dissappears.
2. If you don't use the icons in the system tray for anything, use explorer or explore in activesync and go to windows\startup and remove the Init_Tray.lnk and then soft reset. The system tray will be gone and you'll have that much extra room on your today screen and the scrollbar should dissappear after that.
3. Install this cab that I'm uploading. It's called vjtoggletoday-removing bottom bar. It removes the bottom bar that has the calendar and contacts links on them. You will still be able to use the soft keys just above the call and end keys to bring them up when ever you want, but you'll gain the extra space on your today screen where the bottom bar used to be.
another option would be to use the nice today plugin SPB Mobile Shell. It makes it possible to safe a lot of space on your today screen. It works very well with any other today plugin (eg Pocket Plus, Phone Alarm, SPB Wheather, etc). Still one of my favorite pocket pc programs!
I am using all of the SPB today plugins. I fixed the problem by having two lines instead of three in BatteryStatus. Appreciate everyones help.

can someone come up with a hack for this ? removing the scrollbar for today screen.

Clicking Start, Programs won't open Programs list

Clicking Start, Programs no longer brings up the Programs list on my Fuze. Instead, it takes me to the "Home" screen in TouchFlo (as if I had pressed the Home button.)
I think the Start menu link became "broken" after running \Windows\folderview.exe. (I was hoping to create a shortcut to the list of Programs.) Also, when running folderview.exe, the Programs list has 3 columns of icons...the 4-column tweak doesn't work with folderview.exe. However, clicking Start, Settings still works, and the tweak to enable 4 columns of icons is in effect for the list of Settings icons.
Does anyone have any clue as to what might have happened and how I might be able to fix it (short of performing a hard reset!) I've performed several soft resets to no avail....
Thanks for any help/suggestions!

possible solution
Try to open it in landscape mode (with keyboard out). If it works, you need to disable Large Start Menu in TouchFlo settings, it tends to freeze in portrait mode when you have too many shortcuts in the start menu. (you can alternatively remove somme shortcuts but the limit is way too low for my tastes )
Hope this helps

Wonderful!!!! That fixed it. I guess the problem wasn't related to folderview.exe after all. Thanks so much!

quicklaunch shortcuts not displaying

hope i have the right forum - you'll tell me otherwise no doubt.
My Today screen has a blue icon called options which, when pressed says
O2 Custom Today Plug-in Settings
checked items appear in Today screen
well they all DID until just recently and I used to be able to display 5 shortcuts.
I removed 1 and added another and the screen response was only 5 shortcuts allowed. Having taken out and added again the problem was further exacerbated by the fact that the shortcut bar is now blank even though short cuts are there. I press an area of the shortcut bar and a programme is launched - but I don't know what it is until it is fully launched.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have rebooted but no joy
Thanks

FUZE remove PTT and Video Share from dialer menu?

Is this possible? I dug all around the registry and can't find it! They make the menu too big to fit on 1 page so it gets the annoying scroll arrows (which for some reason 50% of the time when I open the menu it immediately starts to scroll down by itself like I am holding the down arrow down).

Customizing Keys in WM 6.5

A couple things I want to customize:
(1) When dialing a call, I have to use the touch screen to dial numbers... unless I lock it into number mode first, then I can use the keyboard.
How can I make it default to number lock??
(1) The power button only works for waking up the screen.
How can I make the power button turn off screen or power off phone??
(3) Want to add icons to Home screen. Tried CHome Editor, but it's not working for me. No matter what I do, It won't commit any new panels or icons. It will only add or remove icons that are already part of the Windows Default.
Any ideas??
(4) And one more thing... The clock is not syncing with the provider. And I can't find a setting to make it.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
I looked around a little bit but didn't see any other threads with answers so I started a new one. Is that ok?
