I some how flipped the contents in my kaiser's file explorer, so everything is in reverse alphabet, and all the folders are on the bottom. This is espesially annoying in the Windows folder, and it starts out at the Z's. Is there any way to fix this, I have no Idea how I did it, but its really bothering me? Thanks.
wow, this is a simple one.in file explorer go to where it says "Name" and keep selecting that out of the drop menu it's alphanumeric for you
Wow, that was easy. I feel like an idiot now. Thanks for the fix.

Want to create your own keyboard sliding sounds?WM6 comes with three by default, and you can't add custom ones...
Or can you?
Using a registry editor, nav to:
\HKLM\Software\HTC\SlidingSound
There are 3 keys: 0,1, and 2. These represent the three current sounds: piano, xylophone, and whatever the third is.
Make a copy of one of these and name it 4. Inside 4, set Default to the name for your sound. Then make the In and Out point to the appropriate wav's in the Windows directory.
Soft reset your device, then go to Start > Settings > Keyboard Sliding Sounds. Your new entry should appear in the list.
Hope it helps!!

And do you have cool sliding sounds for download. I already searching a long time for cool ones.
Regards, Tommy
Yeap Indeed, Can someone please link us some sliding sounds??it would be very helpfull for the p4350 community
Well, after downloading a bunch of free sound FX, I've chopped them up and sped them up/slowed them down... Here's a few to try. I think they're pretty cool, better than the built in ones at least...
Ryan
I know ya gotta love the Transformers.
the transformers sounds are really cool. i did speed them uip slightly and lowered the volume
guys...what am I doing wrong here? total commander won't allow me to copy or past in any of the directories?
I followed the above steps...but when it comes down to it...I can use the "copy/move" ....but then it won't allow mw to paste.
I also can't copy my sound from my mem card to any windows directory.
I'm totally new to WM and making mods to my WING...any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
yeah i dont understand how this works either do you guys think you can make more explained instructions thanx

It seems like you try to make a classical PPC copy paste by the tap and hold and you're not supposed to act that way.
Be sure to use the Copy/Move option in the File menu to do so.
Good luck.
Googeling for star trek original series door sound.... psssscheek

Im getting really frustrated because I dont understand what Im doing...I love my Wing tooo much to give up though!

i love the sound effects! thanks a lot dude!
Why not just edit the already existing sound effects.. like inside the folder 0 you can edit the in and out entries.. like on my hermes I edited '0' folder in registry to be the transformers sound by editing in with value data of my documets/slider4_in.wav and out with my documents/slider4_out.wave
For those having trouble following this guide, I have one at the HoFo Forums. Should be real easy to follow.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195063&highlight=Sliding+Sound+Guide
My Take
For those of you who are having trouble creating amd understanding the reg file, any easy way to do it is to just edit the ones already listed. That really is just the easiest. Just make sure you copy your wav files into the Windows folder on your device. And for a treat, my sounds; a Lightsaber!

i guess the easiest way is to
1) download the wav-files and rename then to 3_in.wav and 3_out.wav (the number 3 depends on the number of previously installed sounds)
2) edit the registry on your device (as instructed in the 1st post)
3) connect to activesync.
4) explore your device, go to the windows directory (on the device). and then copy the .wav files into the windows directory.
5) restart the device
6) edit sliding sound settings and it should work
WTF...am I doing wrong
Try as I might (I am regedit savy!) I still can't get this trick / hack / addon to work.
Reg settings seem fine, softreset...nothing...???? WHY
Sound files in windows work perfectly as I've run them directly from a command line address so I know they are pointed to correctly within the 2 paths.
Any help would be appreciated.
SHORTCUT
i first copy original wav to sd. then use the rename trick. right click on original name and select rename. then using the touch screen keyboard press the ctrl key + c. then take the sound u want to use and right click it and select rename. then use touch screen keyboard and press ctrl key + v. now that u have rename ur new sounds with the original name, hightlight both in and out sounds and copy them too the windows folder, overwritting original sound. then go to settings and change sliding keyboardsounds with the original name of one u over written.
are there any programs to allow for slider sounds for the mda???
i have the star trek sounds PM me if you want tehm
For some reason, I'm not sure why, when I open File Explorer it just hangs. It keeps loading. I have to go to Memory and end the task. File Explorer always opens up on \Windows. It's probably because the folder is so huge but I'm sure it's something else. Because it crashes I'm not able to install anything else since I can't browse folders. Can any of you guys help? At least for starters, is there a registry key I can change to not make it try reading \Windows at startup?
Okay, I found the regkey and changed start location to "\" and it works now. I still don't know I can't access the windows folder though. it'll hang my system until i can get to my PC and use the remote registry editor.
can somebody recommend a good alternative folder browser?

Total Commander will do the job nicely. BUT honestly I would do a hard reset as if you continue with that problem it will make life a misery in the future and indeed corruption on the windows directory could interfere with other things too.
It's also probable that the likes of Total Commander might also hang.
Unlike the TyTn 1 the Kaiser should open up the Windows directory failrly quickly.

Hello,
really sorry to reopen a thread which might seems outdated but I have the same problem with a WM6.1 HTC Touch Viva T2223 and I can't find the registry key which is involved...
Could someone please tell which registry key indicates windows mobile file explorer start directory ?
Many thanks

Here are two fixes:
Using a registry editor:
HKCU>software>microsoft>file explorer>Local Path (change \Windows to just \)
Last location on 0 (zero)
Reset
And if that doesn't work (this fixed my issue),
then open File Explorer
Click on Menu>Sort> change it to Name
Okay, after doing a hard reset, and restoring from sprite- I now have 2 calculators under programs. calulator, and calculator (1). how do i get rid of the second one- they both work btw.
I have the same issue. I took care of it before by navigating to a folder \windows but I cant seem to remember the folder.
If you find it, you will simply see 2 icons, delete the one with the (1) attached to it.
Let me know the directory please, I cant find it and my windows load time is long.
Should be windows\start menu\
I don't have any calculators in the Programs folder - where in the \Windows directory does the shortcut point to?
Just subtract
two
minus
one
equal
One.

yeah, it was there, it makes it easier to find, if you change the sort paramater to type.
I had this problem after doing a sprite back up as well, only my tilt changed the file explorer into the second calculator link. I had no way of getting in to try to fix it because I couldn't access file explorer to change it. I ended up doing a hard reset back to stock settings to get my file explorer back.
So I am trying to re-arrange my start menu items, and I am getting the message that "Moving this item may cause other programs to stop working..." I am just tinkering around with this so if something breaks its ok...
However, I am having an issue where if I cut something then paste it into another folder it doesn't actually move... for instance, the Calculator Short-Cut.
How can I get around this, is there really anything that can break by moving the shortcut?
Thanks,
Rich
You are probably using the built-in file explorer, and since the shortcuts are part of the rom files it acts weird, try installing another explorer like resco or total commander, then it will cut/paste fine.
And no, moving the start menu shortcuts won't mess with anything besides the hardkeys shortcuts, which you can reassign anyways in the button menu
Cool...
Thanks alot!

gsfinder is another file explorer
When I click Programs on my start menu, the device just returns to the TouchFlo home screen. The settings link works fine.
Any idea what has gone wrong and how to fix it?
Programs menu...
Has the 'Programs' shortcut menu ever worked?
If so, it sounds like the folder may have been deleted or moved. Use a file explorer application and browse to 'Windows\Start Menu' - does this folder contain a 'Programs' folder?

It used to work fine and yes, Windows\Start Menu container a Programs folder.
When I double-tap it to open it in Total Commander, it opens in Total Commander absolutely fine and all my shortcuts are in there as expected.
One thing I notice though it may mean nothing is that unlike my Games sub-folder it has no icon.lnk file. As I say, that could mean nothing!
It appears that Programs in the start menu is a kind of default thing in Windows mobile, is there a reg setting that may have got screwed?
Thanks for the help. Anything else to suggest?
Rename the troublesome Programs folder in start menu to something else like Programs2. Next make a new folder and cut and paste all the shortcuts in the Programs2 folder into the new folder. Finally delete the original Programs2 folder. So you have made a new Programs folder. Let me know if that works.

Thanks for the idea. I have tried that but get exactly the same result.
One discovery I made is that if I disable the enlarged start menu, the Programs link works fine!
Anyway, if there are no more ideas from anyone, I fear a hard reset could be in order.
Thanks
Ahh shucks! Sorry it didn't work. I suggested it because I had the sae problem. I made a new folder in Start Menu called Phone and it stopped opening after a while. I did the trick above and it works fine now.
See I have unchecked favourite apps from showing in start menu by unchecking them in the Menu option in Settings. Instead, I created folders in the Start Menu folder, such as Internet, Media, Travel, Office, Games, System, Audio etc and copied the relevant shortcuts from progam folder to the new folders. So when I hit start menu from my home page, I get a drop down list of folders only. Much better in my opinion.

Interesting way of organising your Start Menu.
However, I would probably forget in which folders I put the apps! I quite like the Programs list - it does exactly what I want - so thats why I will just stick with that. I was actually wondering if there was a way of making that Programs folder look better - for instance removing the scrollbars or something. Just a nicer looking program launcher really, but as I say, I like the way it works for me.
Anyway, thanks very much for the help. The programs link is a special link of some sort I reckon, hence your fix didnt work. I think I will upgrade my ROM and do a hard reset!
