How to change the main menu soft button?

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!

I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in

Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

wow, thank you very much mtiberio!
your link really hit the spot!

Very odd - my Registry setting for 112 was already showing Calendar as the default value but on screen it shows email.

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.

i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want

was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

You will need to reset your device for it to show up in your programs list.

Remap left softkey to lock the phone

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.
see - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356192&highlight=Long_End.lnk

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.

start bar link to programs

hello all,
more a wm6 question that anything diamond related so apologies...
at present i can select 7 shortcuts to work from the start bar, if i select anymore it doesnt like it, or if i try to do it manually using file explorer, (windows\start menu) it deletes them.
can i have more shortcuts that the 7 usual? ie from a registry edit point of view?
apologies if it has been asked in the past...
JT

I dont think its possible to have more than 7.

To enable "old" LargeMenu (Disable new manila start menu):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
To show favorites programs page on manila:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Manila://programs.page.hidden =dword:00000000
This will revert new Manila with old Start Menu.....
This was taken from Hellonasty rom thread.
Next time do a better search.

I'm trying to map the Touch HD "Back" key to open the HTC new Start Menu by using AE Button Plus.
I succeded in remapping the "Back" key (it didn't use to work in previous versions) but i don't know what action to map it to.
Does anybody know what the action is to call the new HTC New Start Menu?
Thanks !

This is for Classic stat menu and tab programs

If you stick with the new start menu and use the following cab to turn the long list of apps into a row of 4, I'm sure you'll find that the new start menu is actually better. Well it is in my opinion. Just stick with it!!

is there old notification menü cab please

Don't need cab. Open Task manager > Click on top right drop down menu > Services > and hold down on Notification Manger(NTFO and set to manual instead of automatic. Soft reset phone. You should now have old notifications. To revert back, follow same process and set to automatic

You can do all of the above. Click on start menu > Setting > All settings and you are presented with original settings page
As easy as that!!

Reverting to new start menu???
Could someone please help me? Ive used the cab to change to old start menu but I dont like it. I would like to go back to the new one, but changing the registry values seem to only screw up things as my start software and hardware buttons dont work at all!!!

How can I get back the WM Program list

Right now, the only way to list ALL programs is to tap on your start button, then tap on "all programs" below.
However, I feel more comfortable with the old windows programs list with 3-4 rows of icons. How can I get that back without removing the TF3D2 start menu?
Perhaps someone knows a shortcut to it?
Perhaps a shortcut to the windows settings page would be useful too.
Thanks!

hi..
u can try this it is a program that will give u the classical start menu ( like older version of WM) and will put the program icon on the lower task in the manilla theme>> so u can get the advantage of both..

Thanks for yr reply, but I've come across this before.
The thing is, I want to retain HTC's new start menu, at the same time have a shortcut to WM programs list.
