I deleted the link for the Wireless Manager from the HTC Home Launcher in an attempt to move it to another box. But it actually doesn't show up on the list of programs from which you can assign links. Is there a way to restore that link without reinstalling HTC Home?
Also, it would be a great idea if drag and drop functionality was integrated into HTC Home.
I still can't find anything through forum searches. Anyone have an idea on this one? I'm using the latest version with the brightness fix.
Use something like resco explorer, browse to Windows directory, locate CommManager.exe and create a shortcut to programs folder (in the case of resco explorer - 'send to start menu as shortcut' is the command.
Thanks chris!

Hi to everyone,
I just installed HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.5Tab.schen.cab and I renamed right dll (I have an italian wm6).
All ok, home plugin appears but... I can't add items to favorite people or launcher. I tried with 3 tabs version and seems all ok: I can add shortcuts to launcher simply tapping on an empty space. With 6 version if I do the same thing, nothing happens. I can only delete items...
Anyone with same problem and hopefully with a solutino?
I had the same issue. Then I have installed the touch plugin.
However if someone has any solutions regarding this....
nobody has any solutions for this issue ?
did rename all theese?
HTCHome.dll.0409.mui -> HTCHome.dll.0414.mui
HTC HDlg.exe.0409.mui ->HTC HDlg.exe.0414.mui
HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml -> HH_0414_WeatherCities.xml
htcbtql.dll.0409.mui -> htcbtql.dll.0414.mui
(0414 is norwegian countrycode ofcourse, yours needs to be the italian....ofcourse )
If not there is a whole bunch of HTC home plugins, why not give them a try?
I use the HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen.cab without any problems after renaming the .dll, .mui and the .xml files
besides, try use total commander for editing.
Another thing worth noticing is that all files in windows folder are read-only, and you cant change or edit them...
But, if you use total commander, then go to your windows dir, select all files within the win folder, go to properties, then uncheck the read-only box.
Then you can in.ex change the windows boot screen (not the splash from HTC) you can edit the welcomehead.png and be able to replace the original with your new one
Ok for the moment I have the HTC home of the THT Touch.
I will remove it and install the kaiser plugin again
(I use Resco explorer)
Ok I have installed a new time the kaiser plugin and rename all the files.
That is working correctly now
Thanks a lot itje
no problem, glad I can help out, allthoug I did only point out what someone else has figured out
btw, I cant get the kaiser 10 button to work, I get that the file dont have the permissions to install, even though i disable com manager, but I got the 8 button touch com to work, its good enough for the time beeing
yes, there were some other files to rename. Thx
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
I recently upgraded my Acrobat Reader without uninstalling the former version. Everything worked fine. Then I uninstalled the old version and it seems to have taken the file association for PDFs along with it. While looking for a solution, I found a lot of complicated schemes to modify the registry (no thanks), install a tweak program and do it from there (better, but why complicate things), etc. But it was actually quite simple. So for anyone who's in a similar predicament...
Here's how to set a file association in WM 6.1:
1. Open File Explorer and find a file of the type you want to associate to an app.
2. Hold down the stylus on the file name for a couple seconds (til you get the context menu) and choose "Open with program..."
3. Choose a program from the list on the top part of the resulting window, then check the box labeled "Associate selected Program with this file type."
4. Hit Open.
5. You may get a message to overwrite current association if there was a previous app associated with the file type, chances are you'll want to go ahead and overwrite so it will remember the association you prefer.
You're done!
This works great if you want to open some multimedia files with one program and others with a different program. For instance, I couldn't get Media Player to open my .AVI files, but it was the default association, now I set .AVIs to TCPMP and all is working great! ( I know TCPMP is one of the few programs that lets you set the association, this is just an example - and it was actually easier doing it as described above!)
That menu option's not there
I've got 6.1, but "open with program" is not a choice that pops up. I looked under properties, and it's not there either. Are you using a 3rd party file explorer?
You need File Explorer Extension, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421723&highlight=file+explorer
Nice!
Thanks for the tip!
I have a several different media players, and this is just what I needed to choose which program opens what file type.
Thanks again!
Thanks guys, really good software that complement very well the unfinished software of Microsoft..
Great for removing the "DocsToGo" association!
I was really getting sick of being unable to open email attachments because I didn't choose to shell out for the DocsToGo bloatware on my AT&T Fuze. Great fix!
Thanks!!!!

Thanks for the software but there is a problem
The file explorer is amazing. But I am facing a problem. I have an HTC Touch 3G running windows mobile 6.1. When I use this file explorer to change the file association, it successfully changes. However, the icon of the program it is associated with doesn't appear on the left of the file name. Only the windows icon appears to the left of the file name. However whenever I click on the file, it does open with the required software/player. But because the icon of the file type it is associated with does not display, it becomes slightly confusing for me to make out with which software will it open.
Thanking you in anticipation for the help!!
thanks a lot
FExplorer ext is a gr8 tool. It solved my file association problem for .jpg files.
Thank a lot again.
I tried to install FEE on my WM6.1 smartphone (non touchscreen) but it gives an error and won't install saying it's not designed for my device.
Has anyone found a way to install it, or found a similar free product to change file extensions?

Schap's Advanced Config can also change file associations, as can Total Commander.

There's any way to Vito SMS chat instead default WM app for SMS managemment ?
Thank you
very very thnx to you
still not the correct icons ?
same as @sahilhshah.
Changing the file associations in either described way is working fine. But the icons are still the windows system icons.
Interestingly viewing the icons from the files which are not corrected to the specific program icon, in the taskmanager, I can see the right icons.
Any ideas?
Using Total Commander for Pocket PC u can change file association and file icon as well, it will be coresponding to specified program. Just give it a try
(That's my firsth post on this great forum )
Hi people.
Could you help me? I tried to change the file association, as explained, but my phone isn't touch screen (is a Samsung Jack) and the File Explorer Extension doesn't work.
Someone know a way for change the file association on Win 6.1?
I lost the association when try Foxit pdf reader. Now I have to open the Adobe PDF fist and open the file by the program (I already uninstall the Foxit).
Thanks in advanced.

You can change the name and the file associations using Total Commander ( for Smartphone )
I switched from Palm to the Sprint TP with WM 6.1 (I love the change). When I had my Treo, there was a program called Sharklinks http://www.ludustech.com/sharklinks/ . It was great. It would create a palm launcher icon (shortcut), that was related to a browser url.
You would click on the shortcut, it would launch your browser, and bring you to the site.
Is there any such program that will work on the sprint TP.
TIA
You have a few options. If you want to access the icon from the today screen, you can add the URL shortcut file as a document to Today plug-ins like Resco Explorer.
You could also drop the URL shortcut into your /Windows/Start Menu directory or /Windows/Start Menu/Programs to get to it other ways.
I made the switch from Palm OS several years ago and am never going back.
use touchflo
as i recall, touchflo 3d displays your favorites from opera on the internet tab under the youtube link!
I guess I am trying to figure out how to create the url shortcut.
I want to set up a folder under the start menu for streaming radio stations.
I then want to setup shortcuts in the folder so that when I click on them the Station starts to play.
Do I just copy the URL, and past in the folder to create the shortcut for that url.
I am a windows maniac, but I am just learning WM 6.1

Is there a way to create folders in the Start menu in WM6.1 Pro? And, to this guy's point, is there a way to make an item in the Start menu be a URL?
I figured my problem out. I was able to click on the radio station links, and they created ASF files in the music folder. I then used Shortcut Creator to create shortcuts to the ASF files in a folder in the programs section of start up.
And to answer JonDeutsch's question: the easiest way is to access your mobile device re: activesync, go to the directory windows/startup/programs, and right click, and new folder.
Hope that helps.
P.S. I still have not figured out how to actually create a URL Short cut that I can put into any folder I want. This community is a great group of developers. This would be a great program to develop.
Hi Gang,
using the amazing TCPMP 0.81RC Beta only one gripe - how do i get it to appear in the HTC program launcher tab?
The issue here - *I think* is that this great little prog runs off an exe and isn't installed in the 'normal' way as such.
Please help - my neanderthal fingers cannot deal with the fiddling with Task manager and total commander every damn time!
be well and thanks for helpage!

You can go into the task manager, copy the program, then go into the windows startmenu, programs and paste shortcut.
I'm using x button - ans di see no way yo copy a prog and pasting it to start progs.
scuse the lack of knowledge but can ya be more specific as to how to do this?#
cheers man
lr
I think he meant to use your File Manager, not Task Manager.
Correct, sorry. Use the File Manager to copy and when you go to paste it will give you the option to paste shortcut.
i did that - pasted a shortcut into program files but when i went to add it to htc launcher it still wasnt in the list..
any ideas?
