Shortcut .LNK or .EXE to Programs page

Does anyone know the .lnk or .exe for the programs folder page? I dont need the one for the folder itself but the one to the regular page showing in icons view rather than in list view. Hopefully someone out there understands what Im trying to ask for...

\windows\start menu\ programs ?

Wow that was fast! but thats the folder link that I didnt need, that link gives you a list view rather than the icons view. Hopefully this can help people understand what Im asking. Thanks

So what you want is a link that does the same thing as clicking Start>Programs?

Exactly! Thanks and hopefully theres a solution to it

Hi,
did you find the solution?
I am looking for exactly the same thing.
thanks

my guess is that you have the homeplug so you can use this
\Windows\folderview.exe

Here it is...

I think there are several versions of the folderview.exe, this is the one for the programs folder

Hi,
many thanks!!!
do you know if the exe file takes arguments so as to to reach sub-folders of Programs?

Number of character left in thread sms?

Hi, I notice that when I reply to a sms with the sms thread enable I can't see the number of character left that I have, is it possible to show? Modifying the register or using a sw?
Thanks a lot

Works in Portaint and Landscape on Mine.
I am using IBI.V8.Office ROM at the moment which has "Arcsoft MMS (Alex edition)" cooked in. So it might be a feature of that or there may be a reg key, but I'm not sure.
EDIT: Can you dump HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings and I'll see if there is a difference with mine?
Thanks

Nope, nothing that jumps out at me, soz. If your using a cooked ROM, try asking the chef if they know.
Dave

No, I use the original HTC WM 6.1 ITA..
Can you tell me the name of sw related to SMS/MMS that you have in your ROM, if you know/can?
Thanks a lot for your attention.

In the current ROM I Have Arcsoft MMS (_Alex_'s Version) whatever that means. It is from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412449. The Chef has a massive collection of CAB's Might be worth looking for it in there.

I modified the google panel to work with Opera

Replace the xml file in \Program\Panels\GooglePanel with this attached file or edit your own and replace all iexplorer.exe with operaL.exe

exelent work.

Sweet, I thought this would be easy to do, now someone else has saved me the effort of working out how. Many thanks.

Thank you. Very nice.

WOW!!! Awesome!!
You did in a second what SE didn't figure out in 10 months

Opera was not meant to be available on the Xperia from the beginning - just in the last time of developement they decided to include it. But that is no excuse - the should have been able to make the panels use Opera even in that shorter time

This works great, big thanks!
Is it possible to do the same in messaging?
Everytime i open a link on my exchange account, failexplorer opens instead of opera.
Would be very very nice if you could change this to

Thnx, easy as pie, works like a charm!

Excellent, thank you, works without a hitch
Btw, is there a way to change "default browser" in the phone? Explorer keeps on popping upp all over the place when I click on link in messages and such...

Will try this now, thank you a million times!

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP your settings.. so far it worked for me but i dont know if it effect anything else.
i went to my registry setting:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\Shell\Open\Command and changed 'iexplore.exe' %1 to 'operaL.exe %1'
i also did this change to the 'https'
TRY at your OWN RISK

Might be a daft question, but how do you actually get the google panel?
I don't have it on my UK X1

shame as at least Vodafone were clever enough to get their panel to launch Opera by default for the webpages.

Mobile Tide

Hi,
I recently bought a program called mobiletide. It enables you to see what the tide is anywhere in the world. Great for watersport/sea fanatics! http://www.mobiletide.co.uk/
Does anyone use this? If so how on earth do I access the program?!? I have it installed but it does not work! This is the email sent from the company;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Will, you need to find the shortcut command keys with the handset (*) and
(#) on your keypad will action the same command as the conventional soft keys. it does take a bit of research but all the commands are there to navigate/select, etc.
Regards,
Dan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not much use/help! Any suggestions welcome!
Cheers in advance,
Will

look in the Program files folder (internal storage or device, depending on where it was installed to)

Hi,
i use the program cTide (http://airtaxi.net/ctide/) it's free and it works great.

I am confused - It installs it into the JBlend program. It runs on Java. Do you have it working on your device?
Will

oh right, sorry didnt realise it was Java!
no i dont use it
if you open Jblend, it should be there in the window that opens.

My guess is that William is asking how to use the program because Mobile Tide is expecting a normal mobile phone keypad and he hasn't got one so he can't issue any commands to the app
Am I right?
EDIT: @William, It looks like MT uses the D Pad for menu navigation and sets up on screen soft keys (I'd try it but there's no downloadable demo ), maybe you could describe what happens when you start the app.

ctide doesn't seem to have any U.K. locations in the database, not very useful if you do your sailing in England/Wales

I can't it to work anyway - according to the website; 1.1 should have eliminated the bug I am experiencing! Loads and then crashes. I won't bother trying to sort it out anymore but try and resolve my current mobiletide problem! Thank-you very much for all your help.....

Hi Will, I don't have GRemote but from the highlight on your Programs screen it looks like that was also running.
How about a soft reset and look for Mobile Tide again?
Go into to Programs>All Programs, find Mobile tide and run it again.
