I would search but I am not sure what to look for, don't know if anything exists but...
is there any way or app that will let me do what "msconfig" does in WINXP ? I have programs booting up and I don't want them to, I went in the today screen they are not listed there. any help would be great
thanks
Try TaskMan RegEdit
i went ahead and found it for you
Just go in to the windows/startup folder and delete the items that you don't to boot on startup. It's always a good idea to back those items up though first. I usually just drag them over to my computer over activesync and store them in a folder just in case.
thanks
Been after this for a while ....
thanks !!!.. tried to find this in the forum using " phone words "did not work ,,, so I put in msconfig... and fab!!
Thanks thsi is just what I need !!
Now I have ot learn what all the services etc are to see ifI can trim it down ...

Hi all,
Just got my 2nd new Kaiser (first one had White Screen of Death) and it also has the home page as a black screen with the HTC logo; not too usefull. Any ideas how to get back the Welcome Screen that has your most recently opened pages and search? Thanks for any ideas...
Ok, well I tried just copying over the default_0409.htm file (checked and all the image files etc. were already in the Windows directory). This brings up the correct looking page, but the Favourites and History buttons don't work; they open File Explorer at the Windows directory instead!
Would be glad for any ideas for what is missing on my Kaiser that I could copy over from the Hermes.
I have attached the file if anyone would care to have a look; I searched to see if any other html pages were linked for example, but I don't know script...
I tried the same thing but no luck
*bump*
Does no one else want this start page in IE? Thanks in advance for any ideas...
bump, that page is on the Mio A501 and it's pretty neat !
Guess no one else likes that page, thanks for the bump though! I have been fiddling but still can't get it to work....
Solved ------> HTC's PIE_Default_409.htm
Okay, There are two ways to do this!!!! The first is time consuming & involves multiple registry changes. I can walk you through it or send you a registry file to import (if you wanna trust me ) or you can do it the easy way!
Easy Way: I'm sure many of you have the absolutely great proggy SK Tools. Well, the new release (4.1.21.x) has a "Replaced Rom Files" function. So either buy the great program or download the trial. Launch the "Replaced Rom Files" tool & check the box for the item marked PIE_Default_xxx.htm (xxx = your language code), either click & hold or check the box, then select action, then select "Restore Rom File". Then enjoy your new "original" HTC PIE Homepage with expandale History & Favorites!

Not sure, might help if you post a JPEG of the screen? The TXT file you included does not work for me.
I just put together a cab file for this today using some files posted by another xda member (I don't remember who it was to credit them).

DANG IT YOU DOG! I jumped the gun on my post! I spent the last week flashing back & digging to find all the references that kept me from changing the by just importing the default_xxx.htm. I finished my cab & logged back in to post it & darn it all if you hadn't beat me to it!

LOL. It's pretty simple to correct with all the correct files. I actually just copied the files to my Windows directory when I first tried it out but figured I'd post a cab file to make it easier on everyone else
thanks for sharing, works fine on the Nike too.
Hi,
I tried running the CAB on my stock Orange HTC ROM, but I still get the orange homepage, not the (more useful) Internet Explorer page as promised above! Any ideas?
Your folder structure must be different. Did you soft reset after install? Otherwise you can do it with SK Tools if it was part of the original ROM.
I did soft reset, but no joy. I may look into SK Tools, although I have just managed to get Opera Mini up and running, so may play around with that instead. Thanks for the advice!

You can go into PIE under Menu, Tools, Options, and see the path and filename for your current homepage. It's possible that Orange uses a different filename as the default page. If you tell me what the filename is and where it's located I can make an updated cab for you.

Here you go. This file is for devices with the Orange ROM only!
You can uninstall the old one first.
Are you guys able to browse with PIE while on 3.5G/HSDPA?
After I open PIE, I receive this same screen on my Tilt, but I'm unable to browse anywhere (my hsdpa account is activated, of course).
I receive (in the bottom left corner) a message: "connecting", but nothing happens.
On the other hand, If I browse with WIFI on, using PIE, I can enter any URL without any problems at all.
In both cases, I can send & receive emails without any problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
As I replied to your other post, check your proxy settings. Which data plan do you have? Are you connecting to WAP or ISP?
Yes Im a noob, trying to learn. Ive learned the hard way on somethings and Ive had to reinstall the T-Mobile rom 2-3 times already on messing up. When you open the "Start" button you have your programs from the "Menus" in the "Settings" you choose what shortcuts you want here. Then theres the line and I have a bunch of program icons and then another line and then "Programs, "Settings. How do you get rid of those icons or shortcuts in between the lines?
Thanks, I searched but couldnt find an answer please inform me.
it sounds to me, like you're trying to clear out the recently used programs list. If that's what you're talking about ... install this cab.
Err I ah cant figure out how to install this file Im still looking unless you just want to throw me a bone.
Wow, you are a newbie! It's a cab file. Download it on your device, locate it with file explorer, click it so it installs. Look in your program folder, find the program, run it.
Yea right after I got put that post up I had to leave for work. I knew that I had it on the phone and found it at work. Is there any way to keep the "recent folder" empty even after running a couple of programs other then running the cab to clear it out again?
Thanks for the replys though.
if you use quick menu it will hide recent programs in a seperate sub menu.
curious if it is possiable to add this to htc album. a major part of album app that is missing from the wm2003 edition of album. can anybody figure a way to add this feature. also i have not been able to find a way to install the old album on a wm6 device...any help on either of these issues would be greatly appriciated. thanks!
UPDATE!-here it is i highly reccomend giving it a try ...trying to get an english translation though! just unzip and place in program files folder! ALL CREDIT TO TWEAKRADJE!!!!!
Update2-once you have album4wm5 installed overwrite with the album exe that i've posted make sure you do not install the camera exe as this will mess up your camera. this update will translate the album to english. now i will try and get some help with the delete/copy/paste issues not working. NOW YOU CAN BROWSE ANY PIC ON YOUR PHONE ZOOM IN AND SET AS TODAY BACKGROUND!!! ONCE AGAIN ALL CREDIT TO TWEAKRADJE!!!!!
The ability to set a background thru htc album doesn't seem to be in there. It's only for showing off what WM can do ... I don't think its supposed to be useful! haha.
My device still has "Pictures and Videos" on it... Doesn't yours? I'm using the TouchIT rom, but I don't know what is in or have been removed from the OpenTouch roms ....

yeah, I have pics and vids with the option i'm talking about....but both pics and vids AND htc album are missing important features that the old album from wm2003 had. pics and vids can't zoom and save as to the today screen. u r just stuck with your picture as is for the today screen. htc album can zoom any pic but you can't save to anywhere. u can use for a contact but still not in the zoomed form. this all sounds kinda picky on my part i'm sure but if u have ever used...or get the chance to use album wm2003 u will see how good a program it is. thanks for your response and keep an eye and ear out for any help on these programs. thanks again!!!!!!
Why don't you try and extract it from a WM2003 ROM? I'll see if I can do that some time this month... maybe.
I've only ever used WM5 and WM6 .. so I don't know what you're talking about haha. But I'm interested in finding out... maybe someone else can extract them since Ivan is going thru a computer crisis at the moment.

Just copy the CAB in that post over onto your phone via activesync ... then open the file explorer on your phone, find the cab and tap it to run the installation.
Don't install that cab because it overwrites the camera software as well...

i want the album so bad i figured i would deal with that later. i have installed many cabs since frequenting this site the past few months. the icon for the album program i want appears in my programs list but when i try to open it i get the red x of death. this program cannot be opened because it is not signed by a trusted blah blah... or one if it's components is missing blah blah... the zip has the files seperately . i tried dropping it into the windows folder but that didn't do anything either. have you ever used this album program ivanmmj?
I haven't used it, but I'm interesting in looking through it... I think, (again) that the best solution will be to decompile the ROM and look for all the needed files.

yeah, umm... thats a little beyond me.
still have my magician with wm2003se
could you guys possibly tell me what to look for that would need to be extracted? i would probably need to install total commander to investigate the files closer than what i could with file explorer... um...right?? i'm trying to help myself guys haha! oh by the way after installing that cab my camera still worked. but, when i dropped the files from the zip into the windows folder manually it did quit working. i got the files out and all is well. i was just excited momentarily to see the icon for this beloved program of mine in my program list. thanks again try not to forget about me..
i have a remaping app for my tilt , but i cant seem to find the lnk or exe for device lock.
any one can help me on remapping my left softkey to "lock my device"
thanks !
Re - Remap left softkey to lock the phone
Why don't you try HTC end Key.cab, it works great and you don't have to lose the use of the soft key.

I just tried this and the phone lock is not an option on my phone with this. Also when I tried to uninstall this cab my left softkey that is mapped to calendar, now gives me an error, something like, the file 'htc calendar cannot be opened......' Also when I installed it, it changed the color of my today screen back to att default. I fixed this by just changing my theme and then changing it back. Any clue how to make the calendar button work right again?
alright im going to take a look @ that.
What Rom are you using?
Found the solution for you but need to know what ROM you're running.
On your phone, open your registry editor. If you don't have one, get it here. Navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open. Change the Data String from \Windows\??????? to (This is what a stock ROM should be) \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Device Lock.lnk
If you have a different ROM, I have no clue. But, I will keep checking for ya.
I am running the stock rom from att. I don't have a registry editor yet, but I will try the one you posted and try to fix it in the morning, when I get back up to work. Thanks!
Good luck, bro. I'd check the link I provided (Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Device Lock.lnk) to make sure that Device Lock.lnk is there. If it is then you'll be good to go. If not, check in other folders for it. It will be in your windows folder or windows sub folders somewhere. Let us know how it turns out for you.
i think that devicelock.lnk is what i cant find when remapping . its not in my windows folder
im using L26 v11 Rom
I am not able to find the devicelock.lnk either, I have looked in the windows/startup/programs folder and it is not there. I looked all through the windows folder also and could not find it although the windows folder itself is quite large and I may have just missed it.
Is there a way to delete the preset icons that come with the phone on this tab. 9 of the 18 tabs available are taken up by programs I'll never use or am not even going to install they came with the phone. But when I try to delete them from that tab it shows a padlock by them and it won't let you. I have searched in the phone folders and can't find where they are to delete them.. I'm hoping someone else has already figured this out..
I'm getting pretty good with this phone and I consider myself pretty computer stupid.. But you guys on here are absolutely great and I have learned so much..
Ok yeah.. I found it in something I already had installed.. Ok but maybe this post will help others find the answer easier since I didn't find anything on it when searching..
OH yeah the answer... The diamond TF3D config has an option for that section to delete them.. I remember when I installed this on my touch pro it had an error and I had to delete the tweaks folder from the program folder.
