OK, this is a game you will recognise and was coded by an old workmate of mine a few years ago for my Ipaq (so you know HOW many years) at my wife's request as she preferred it to playing with me!!!
Dug it out of my old files as I found it works very well on the TyTynII.
Hope it works for all the other variants as its pretty addictive.
Enjoy.
Good deal, trying it out now.
To be honest I have not seen the guy for seven years but I think we all ought to prod him to re-start fognoft software.
He has a talent that blows my mind...
looks promising just one thing, where does it go? its got no installer and the instructions just say cpy to your windows ce machine its an exe so im thinking program folder or start menu folder in windows/start menu/programs?
OOps, sorry. It's before we had .cab installers!!
DOH! (shows how old it is..)
Unzip the files on your PC then copy the folder on to your phone using the Mobile Device link when connected via USB cable and Activesync.
Copy it into 'Mobile device' 'My windows Mobile-Based Device' 'Program files' ... whilst this is open, enter the ICBM-PocketPC-ARM directory that you have just copied and right-click and copy the main .exe file. Then go to the Windows directory of your phone (still on the PC!), 'Start Menu' 'Programs' 'Games' folder, right click your mouse and paste the shortcut (rename it how you want) the icon will appear in you programs menu!
Awesome. Shall we post high scores? first try 25,270. Who can beat it?

Tryed this on my Tilt and so far it seems to run fine with no problems. It replaces/adds functionally to the start button on the main screen. Has alot of options to customize it also. Its freeware.Simply make a folder called quickmenu in your programs dir, and add the files and click to run it.
ya, been using it myself. I like it. it's a lot like Windows XPs start menu
I love how it adds a % to the topbar battery icon, no more guessing from the stupid bars anymore.
i use SPB pocket plus which adds a few pixel bar across the top. I prefer that spot that quick menus battery takes for HTC task manager. it's a preference thing though.
can you post a screen shot of what this looks like? Thanks

I just noticed that.
Once you try it out you wont go back to the standard wm6 menu button. Infact you can run both at once if you want just click on "start" for the original menu, or the little windows icon next to it for this quick menu.
QuickMenu is fantastic
Long ago I used to use SmallMenu. It was too slow though, for some reason. I have been using QuickMenu for a couple of weeks and I cannot live witout it! In fact I thought Microsoft was going to build something like this into WM6, and was very surprised they didn't bother...
This is freeware from China. I have version 2.7.387.1527. The web site for this software is:
http://www.alensw.com
What version was posted here? And where can we get a version that will be upgraded in the future, and could have an english web site? I guess you could use google to translate the above web page...

Download zip from first post
unzip the 4 files in it
put the 4 files in a folder on your tilt (make a folder in "program files" called quickmenu)
browse to the exe and tap on it
should work just fine. You will not see anything setup on your ppc. After thats done just click on the windows start icon (upper left corner) and the smaller menu should appear all installed and ready to go.
It is not a pc setup program, the exe is already in ppc format and ready to run on your ppc.

got it, thx
After long last, I have a new laptop and a new Kaiser. Had to get rid of the 8525 since I could get such a hell of a deal on it.
It's been a few months since I had been on the forum because of the laptop issues, but now I have Vista (blah) and things are a bit different. But luckily, I have voided the warranty w/in 5 hours of having my phone.
Glad to be back, but couldn't find any threads that answered my question.
Does anyone know how to access the Windows directory on the mobile device via Vista Windows Explorer??
I am trying to copy some .png files over to the windows directory to replace the HTC HOME items, but it won't let me on the old desktop I had so I was just going to stick with the laptop and mess with my phone through that. The old Hermes thread said I could just transfer files like welcomehead.96 over to the directory to overwrite, but I keep getting errors.
Can anyone direct me? or PM some answers? Thanks
In Windows, choose TOOLS, Folder Options, View and then uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"
You are getting errors when trying to overwrite the files because they are in the rom. Vista's built in system file protection will not allow the files to be overwritten. Your best bet is to copy the files to My Documents on the phone, and then use Total Commander to move them into the Windows directory.
ahh.. i did not know they are built into roms now... thanks
I'm fairly new here and I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but here goes.
One minor thorn in my side has been the fact that I couldn't explore the windows folder from my PC when i had it active synced (and that i can't explore it at all from my mac but that's a different complaint altogether). It won't show up in the explorer window and typing it into the address bar always brought me to the windows directory on my PC. I couldn't find anything here about it so I decided to do some experimenting on my own and found that it was actually deceptively simple. All that you have to do is create a shortcut to your windows directory and put it somewhere you can get to (my documents seems as good as any) then use that to jump into your windows folder from your PC. voilà.
On your PC, in windows explorer you need to go to
TOOLS -> FOLDER OPTIONS -> VIEW
and select "SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS"
then when you browse your phone, it will show you the Windows directory as well as other folders that are hidden on the phone.
even easier. good to know.
I am somehwat new and have been reading up allot on this forum and still can't figure it out.
I have a AT&T Tilt unlocked.
I am running the Mobile Device Center on a Vista pc and also tried a XP pc.
I cannot figure out how to find the /Windows directory . I made sure that the pc shows all hidden files.
Do I have to use a different software or am I doing something wrong.
Any help would be appericated. Thanks.
Honestly i wouldn't want pc to see windows directory, it takes forever to load and takes up most of my device's processing.
But if you want the pc to see it, just download resco file explorer, or whatever file explorer you like( I think total commander can do it ), tap and hold the windows folder and go to properties. Uncheck hidden then your pretty much set.
On your Vista PC disable "Hide protected operating system files"
It is in the same place as "Show hidden files and folders"
Is there any way to view/edit the contents of the Windows directory on my AT&T Tilt from a PC? I want to customize the shortcuts/folders/startup programs and the only way to even see the Windows directory is on the phone itself, which is extremely tedious. The Windows directory does not show up in Windows Explorer, ActiveSync or other 3rd party software I have tried that contain file browsers. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!
I must be misunderstanding what your asking because...
If you are using Activesync, you most certainly can browes files on your phone as you would the files on your desktop. Two ways to get there. Either by:
My Computer \ Mobile Device
Or through the Activesync program and clicking on the Explore icon.
You also may want to make sure you have your view settings to where hidden files can be seen.
I can see all folders/files except for the Windows Directory from my PC. Nothing is set to hidden.

I'm guessing that you're using Vista....you need to go to your folder options in Vista (Organize->Folder and Search Options->View) and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files."
Tried on another machine (both running XP) and it's fine. Settings are the same on both. Could it be something with permissions? Thank for your replies.
With active synch up, click explore
Now click My Window Mobile-Based Device
Windows folder should be there along with your storage card
If it isn't, your device is probably possessed by the devil and you should consider an exorcism
Yep - works that way on one machine but not the other.
Oh, and your mother sucks c**ks in Hell, Karras, you faithless slime...
Found the problem. Had contracted a root kit virus some time ago on my other machine. Was able to clean everyhing, but one of the wonderful features of this virus was to delete the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden" key.
Sneaky bastards...
I restored it from the good machine and everything is all good now.
Thanks again for everyone's time.
I guess Smuook was right, possessed by the devil.
