Settings>Menus -- where is it getting list of programs?

Can anyone tell a newbie where the Menu list is coming from under Settings>Menus (personal)?
I would like to add the 10 button com manager (back) to the launcher, but it does not show up in the list of available programs. Is this a matter of dropping a shortcut into a specific folder or a registry edit? I know the program is there as I can go into the Connections tab and it is listed as "Wireless Manager".
This is on a tilt running HTC Home 2.0 with the original rom.
Thanks greatly for any help.

Programs....
This is from a folder in your windows directory. You can put a shortcut there.

File Name and Folder
Do you know the name of the file that needs the shortcut created and what folders under windows it should be dropped into?
Thanks,
Bobby

Found it
FYI, if anyone else starts hunting this stuff.
The shortcut was already in the Windows folder. A copy of that shortcut needs to be dropped in the "Start Menu" > "Programs" folder. It will then be available in the Launcher application to add.
This should also work for any other application you would like to add to the Launcher.
Thanks,
Bobby

shortcuts

I would like to add my "favorites" to the today screen. I've added the kaiser tweaks and the HTC homepage plugin. No where does it allow me to put my favorites on a tab or on the menu. Does anyone have a way to do this? It would make jumping online for something so much quicker. Thanks

If you're using HTC Home, you can add shortcuts to the "launcher" tab.
Go start>settings>today then at the bottom tab shift to "HTC Home" and make sure "launcher" is checked to display.
Then from your Today screen, tap over to the "launcher" icon. You'll see two rows of little squares now (the top row is filled in). You can tap a black square and it will allow you to select which application launches from that sqaure. The little "x" allows you to unlock the squares to remove them.
If you want to add an application or shortcut not on the availabe list, sync to your PC and go into your device.....create a shortcut in the windows>start menu folder.
Hope that helps...if that's what you were looking for.
* this may of course all vary depending on which version of HTC Home you have loaded

Sounded brilliant but it didn't work. I'm working on XP and it wouldn't allow me to make a shortcut on the mobile phone (tilt). So I just copied my favorites folder into the program files folder, start menu folder, and anywhere else I thought it might show up. I got it onto the start screen, but there was nothing in it. Any other suggenstions?

It will work with XP, you may need to open two windows to do it.
From your PC (my computer) open a window for the device....surf down to Windows>Start menu.
Now go back to "my computer" again and open a second device window. Surf down to whatever directory you are looking for...then drop/drag the exe into the open start menu window.....select "create shortcut" and your done

Not sure I follow. It may not appear until you restart the device.
You'll get it, though. Keep tinkering.

If I understand you correctly, I think what you want is to be able to open your Internet Explorer Favorites quickly and easily on your Kaiser. If that's the case, what you need to do is check the "Favorites" box in ActiveSync - that will port all your favorites to your mobile device - then when you open Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE), all your favorites are available from there.

Moving programs?

How can i move a program to an folder Example. I install a game it goes to the programs folder how can i move it to the games folder? Sorry my bad english

Open File Explorer and go to My Device \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Programs and find the game shortcut - the file will be only a few bytes in size (e.g. 25B).
Tap and hold on the shortcut and select Cut from the popup menu.
Then go to My Device \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Programs \ Games, tap and hold on a white area and select Paste from the popup menu.
That's it...you've moved it
Mark.

Is there any way to get icons on the folders created like on the standard games folder?

Hi i i cant seem to access the windows folder while browsing the contents of my phone via from a windows vista pc. i want to add a program called pocketCM to the start menu but unable to do so as the windows fodler doesnt appear or is hidden for some reason

Windows folder is hidden and will not be shown on default settings. You have 2 choices
1.To show Windows folder, Open Control Panel > goto Folder Options (may use the search box at top-right) and select the option to show protected operating system files.
2.If you don't want to do the above but somehow get something into it from Desktop, you can always copy it to the visible folders other than Windows and then use pocketpc' file explorer to move it inside Windows.

Carty..

Thanks i can access it now. anotehr question. is it possible to create a short cut to the pocketCM program? the idea is to have the actual app stored on my memory card and use a short cut icon placed inside the windows start menu and launch it like that. is that possible? i have tried to copy the program back into the memory card and tried to right-click and select create shortcut but there seems to be no option to do that when i right click on the pocketCM file inside my storage card.
edit: is there also a way to add it to the "HOME" desktop thingy?

I usally get an option when installing a new program to put it either in main memory or the storage card. Some programs don't work well from the storage card, but I usually try them there first.

Add applications to quick launch menu

Hi guys.
First off, I tried to search but I didn't find what I was looking for (probably used the wrong words or something).
Anyways, I downloaded an application as a zip file, unzipped it and put it in a folder on the internal memory. I can launch it from there, but how can I make windows mobile find it so I can add a quick launch button in the application menu in touchflo?

Place a shortcut to the required program in Windows/Start Menu/Programs. That should do it

shortcut

hi ive got a diamond running spb
ive put on a sat nav prog on internal storage but not installed
in windows and runs fine but i need to browse to internal mem to exe
i want to know if it possible to create a shortcut into my program
file folder or or to the home screen so i could view and start prog
thanx

Try this...
Use a file explorer to browse to the location of the .exe you want a shortcut for. Tap and hold on this file and select 'Copy'. Browse to windows/start menu/programs. Tap and hold again and select 'Create Shortcut'. Now you have a shortcut to your program

sk shortcut manager is also a gr8 app to manage shortcuts
