Hi, sorry for bothering you here. I might have a too simple question. But it didn't show up on the search.
After installing several programs on my Vario III the sort order of the icons in the program view changed.
In the beginning when I opened start->programs the icons were sorted directories first and therafter in alphabetical order.
Now I have them in a rather curios order: preinstalled programs and thereafter the ones I installed.
How can I fix this?
regards
andilein
Does anyone have an answer for this?
I'm getting the same problem.
hoping somebody has an answer to this, I am having the exact same problem.
there is a fix...
use a registry editor and go to HKCU/software/microsoft/shell/startmenu and delete the key called "Order". The soft reset the device. This should fix it.
Sorted!
Many thanks.

Hi all,
I've got one of the lovely shiny Vario III's and am very happy with it.
I do have one issue though. When I go to Start->Programs, all the programs are listed in what appears to be a random order - possibly by date.
I remember seeing a post somewhere on here about how to change the view mode of the programs folder but I think that might have been a program by someone.
Does anyone know of a way to make it sort the programs by Name?
I'd like to know this too. After using HTCs WM6 on my Vario ii, the Programs folder in the T-Mobile wm6 ROM on my Vario iii is, quite frankly, a mess. I have deleted some unwanted icons from the windows/startmenu folder etc but don't seem to be able to re-order them.
I found VJSmallIconsII after remembering who wrote it. You can get it from his site: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJSmallIconsII
The only problem is that you have to run it after every soft reset. Change the programs view mode to details, then click the Name column, then change it back to Icons mode.
I would imagine this is something which is stored in the rom and not a reg tweak but I'm going to PM vijay to see if he has a more permanent solution.
Can someone tell me how to "clear" the recently used apps when you hit the start menu? I find it cluttering and would like to clear it if not eliminate it altogether. Any ideas? Thanks!
sometimes help soft reset, but not everytime..
there is a software.. called.. "clearmenu", or "clearitem".. or just "clear" which is attached to many cooked rom, that is to be installed to your Windows/Startup folder.. which will clear everything in your most recent used list on every soft reset. You can clear it without soft reset, in case you are wondering. and soft reset will not do the job if you dont have the software.
i do not want to spam this thread and discuss it with you, but do not agree with

interesting.. but can I check with you the OS that you are using? Or, better still, you just go into your "\Windows\Start up\" to check if there are anything there, that starts with a 'clear'?
Anyway, since you said "sometimes" soft reset works, I would assume that it is not a repeatable process. If that's the case, probably that the 'sometimes' is the case where the regsitry got messed up and the 'recent used list' gone, and hence coincidently it worked as you wanted to.
Anyway, it is quite a new discovery, but just check with me the `start up` menu (better still, list everything there, can't be too much stuff there), to see if there are any working ones there.
ok, what i want to say is that clearing with apps you mentioned is not only one solution and as you correctly typed, it is done only "sometimes" and i was never trying find out when this happened (or why). now correct?
Help
Ok, guys, there has to be a better way to clean out the recently used apps menu. Anyone???
there is a registry hack... anyone????
Use MortScript and create a text file called cleanup.mscr and place the following in there:
Code:
ErrorLevel off
RegDeleteKey HKCU,Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch,1,1
Place this file in \Windows\StartUp and it will clean up the Recent Menu Items in the Start Menu at every reboot.
big thanks!
do you happen to know the reg location of "recent programs" listed in "start"?
Delete the string entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch then soft-reset. That'll get rid of the recently used app list on the Start Menu.
I have been using the attached file since I had my Wizard and it works great on my Kaiser too! Just put the "startclean.exe" in your "\windows\startup" folder and it will remove the most recently used apps from the menu after each soft reset.
Someone posted this file a long time ago and I can no longer find the thread.
Use this program !!

soft reset is OPTIONAL !!
Maybe I am overlooking something... but, is there a way to permanently prevent recently used applications from showing up in the Start menu?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I've been playing around and setup a Mortplayer link as one of the HTC Home applications to launch.
However after doing that, I now cannot get to it, as everytime I press the launcher tab my device reboots.
Anyone know where/how I can remove this faulty icon/program link so can recover it? I'm guessing its either a shortcut or a registry, but if somebody has the knowledge would be handy
Cheers
For the sake of completeness in the forums, I did find a way of sorting this out.
I grabbed a copy of 'Home Configurator' and that let me change the rogue element and sorted the problem.
For anyone elses information, don't put a Mortplayer script into your launch buttons!!
I went to the program tab on TF3D and noticed that an extra row of blank spaces appeared out of nowhere. I didnt think it was that bad since I get an extra row. Unfortunately when I try add a new program, it stays blank and another row of blank icons appear! Anyone know how to get rid of this?
You can manage the icons/programs in the program tab with a freeware utility called "diamond TF3D Config" (you will find it here by using the search)

I know all about TF3d config. Im having problems with the amount of rows present in my programs tab. I cant use them and I cant remove them. I havent installed any programs lately and IDK wth I need to do to get rid of them. So far I have 12 rows of unusable [+] icons. TF3d Config does not manage this.
I have the same problem!!!
I now have an extra page (3x3 icons) of "add program" icons.
In tf3d config it shows the programs I wanted to add, which appear as add program.
And if I try to delete them the add icons still stay....
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks
ditto... I randomly got the same problem about 2 days ago shorty after I installed the diamond config I think. I also installed the footprints cab and navipanel as well... and recently installed facebook chat and wfacebook.
maybe one of these new installs caused the issue?

Had the same problem too guys, it has nothing to do with the footprints cab or facebook chat, all you need to do are some very simple registry edits. I saw the solution a while back in this forum. Can't remember any more what the title of the thread was, but it solved my problem. Will try to find it and get back to you.
EDIT: Found it! Here you go: (credit goes to Rabangus)
Open the registry editor and go to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
In there you should only have keys 0-17. Just delete any additional key you find there (i.e. key 18 and above), do a soft-reset and you're done
Hope this helps...
Peter
thnks this solved the problem.
yeah this happened to me a while ago and that solution worked
That's great and all but WHY did it happen in the first place?
Thats part of the mystery.
maybe u have installed xbodmod manilla HD and then u have unistalled.. that should give u some new entries in program tab..

Excellent post, this one had me confused as well but your solution took care of that.
Is there any way to make these extra buttons functional instead of deleting them?
I have the same problem - extra row of icons that I cannot assign to programs...
It happened to me just after I clicked on the FM Radio icon, I had just installed the TP2 icons which installed that icon but since my phone did not have an FM Radio it gave me a really weird error and that's when the icons showed up.
Hi to you all. I wonder if anyone could help me, as i can´t find any help on older threads. On dialer there´s a button "Note". During call, if clicked, take us to, i guess, standard WM Notes application. How can i change this shortcut to Screenwriter or Apmemo?
Thanks,
C´mon guys this is not a hard one I suppose. Or is? Regards.
Dump the M$ app and rewrite it the way you want ?

lol or look through reg @ phone settings mind you i think it's hardcoded "but could be wrong"
New htc song plays in background while placed on hold
You both are not helping at all. I read somewhere that the spirit/goal of this forum is not that kind of behavior.
I don´t need standard notes at all. I think that if i can find the executable and the parameters of the link on the button, i can replace it with a shortcut or even a mortscript.
Anyway thanks for your reply as now i know you both can´t help.
Regards.
Um so the look through the reg for phone doesn't help?
It's not going to be a .lnk and as previously stated the button will most probably be hardcoded.
Looking throu reg finds nothing also i doubt another software would follow the default format of note.
So my hunch says no you cant.
I can´t find a clue on registry. Thanks Stylez.
