Open Settings Folder Programatically Question

It might sound stoopid but I am unable to open the Windows\Start Menu\Settings folder with the big icons using a shortcut.
I can use Tap on Start > Settings and it works.
But I cannot reproduce this effect in a shortcut - it tries listing mode instead of big icons mode with tabs.
Thanx,
Bogdan

Launch programs menu with a button

I want to create a shortcut that can launch the programs menu like I can when I tap on start, programs. If I create a simple programs shortcut launching it will open the file explorer with small icons instead I want large icons like those I see when I tap on start, programs. I will be grateful if anyone can help me

Two possible solutions:
1) Search on the forum for quickmenu, this program launches programs when you tap on start; but no big icons...
2) Mortbuttons (LINK) i think the pics are self explanatory...and yes customizable big icons...
Mortbutton is the best IMO...

Create a shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\, from the file "folderview.exe" located in the Windows directory. Then you can set a button to the shortcut.

Icon change

Hi to all.
Is there is any app for windows mobile that we can choose a program shortcut and via properties we can change the icon like we can in windows?
Thanks.

Unfortunately is not available like windows for desktop. You need to install new icons......or via M2D theme. Search and you find enough of them.

How to hide icons ?

Welcome. I am looking for a program where I could hide the icons in the start menu.

you can try jwmd icon changer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080
or just go to \windows\start menu\programs and delete any app.lnk there using total commander or resco explorer ....

What exactly you wants to do by hiding icons?
Start menu in windows mobile (all versions) works the same way it works on a desktop.
You would need to browse the "Start Menu" folder in your device's "Windows" folder.
Install Total Commander file explorer (Google it for the link) and browse this folder.
The path may look like this:
"Device\Windows\Start Menu"
Once you in the folder, copy whichever icon you wants to hide and paste them in some folder where you can browse and access those applications.
Once copied, you can delete those icons from the Start Menu folder and the Icon won't reflect there anymore. These icons are nothing but a Shortcut to the application which was created either when you installed any app or your Windows OS installed it whenever it was installed on your device.
WARNING: Remember do copy those icons/Shortcuts before deleting otherwise you won't be able to access those apps unless you know their parent file location on your phone.
