Hi!
I want to change the "phone" softkey to contacts (TF3d). I have Advanced Config installed but I cannot find contacts.exe in the windows folder. Is there another way to do that?
I believe you need to make a shortcut to contacts and set the softkey to it.
Code:
32#"\Windows\poutlook.exe" contacts

Hi Try this start advanced config then menu, more settings, then key mapping.
The problem was that only .exe files was shown, and I couldn't find contacts.exe.
I installed Diamond Tweaker and there I could do it without making a shortcut!
Thanks!

Im assuming if this is possible it would have to be done with a registry editor. My list of installed programs is piling up. Sometimes I cant stand how the program is named in the uninstall scroll box and somtimes I cant tell what program is what. I am wondering if you can rename a value in the registry to "clean up" the installed programs list.
Easy Mate... if you are not comfortable with registry editor then use SK Tools to remove the program name from uninstall list...
OR
Use some registry editor and goto
HKLM/SECURITY/APPINSTALL
and then remove or rename the specific entry....
whatever u like...

Thats all I needed! thanks. I was in HKLM/SOFTWARE/APPS which didnt change it... thanks!
I know this thread is rather old but I have a related issue.
I tried to install Dotfreds TaskManager which however does not work on the HTC S740 (Rose). It also does not uninstall from the Remove Programs list. So I removed everything manually, including the entry under HKLM/SECURITY/APPINSTALL
However, the program is still listed in the Remove Programs function. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I am facing the same problem. Removed everything in HKLM/SECURITY/APPINSTALL but the program still remains in Remove Program list. I've removed the program manually, though. What could be wrong ?
I have strange problem... I installed some software and stuff, and now -- my Programs are not in alphabetical order any more
Any idea how to fix that?

A quick search found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361900

Had it in device/program files, when I clicked on it, it opened there but would not install like other programs. Am I missing another step or something.
Hi,
I am a bit of a dumbass really.... and i need a bit of help.
I am looking for a software package to be able to remove items from the start menu and the programs list.... as i have programs i want installed but not be listed on the start menu or in the programs list.
If there isnt a software package available, then can i remove the option from within the registry?
Thanks in advance

you can edit start menu programs in settings/personal(tab)/menus
to delete shortcuts from start menu/programs folder you can delete this shortcuts in windows/start menu/programs
recent programs in start menu can't be removed. you can remove them with Advanced Config or KaiserTweak, but it requires soft reset and it removes them just for this session.
It's called File Explorer and is in programs. Somewhere..

yes, you can ad shortcuts for your applications in start menu. same thing as on desktop computer
I'm having some trouble with a shortcut on the Start Menu. I had a link to Resco File Explorer which worked fine, but then stopped working following an upgrade of the application (I suspect the upgrade process removed it some one storage area and stuck the new version in the other, or something like that). Clicking the shortcut now does nothing.
I also had it linked on the TF3D Programs Tab. This I've managed to remove and re-add using the normal interface and now works fine. However if I go to edit the start menu I can see TWO entries for Resco File Explorer - one that is ticked with a duff icon, and one which isn't but with the correct icon. By problem is that if I try and untick the duff one it errors "Cannot move that item".
Any ideas??
uninstall and reinstall. if you have an older version and upgrade, try downloading the upgraded cab and install that.
In File Explorer, go to My Device > Windows> Start Menu. Tap and hold on the inoperable shortcut and select "delete"

Excellent - many thanks - job done!
(easy when you know how..
Anyone know how to change the default storage location of Music, Documents and so on through the registry?
Don't want to install Advanced Config..
Thanks
Try the Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3
Most of the stuff I wanted to relocate was configurable in that tool. A lot easier than ploughing around the registry yourself.

I tried to change the locations in Advanced Config, and got it to work OK. But documents that I sync with my computer still gets copied to the device My Documents and not the Memory Card. Any ideas?
