After doing a soft reset, my icons in the start menu disappear. The apps that are gone are installed on my storage card. Now is there any way to have the icons refresh after a reset instead of having to edit my menu by removing them and then adding them back? Thanks
Are you talking about the drop down start menu?
As it has two parts. Top part is app's you have set in 'Settings' 'Menu'.
The second half is app's you have recently used.
You will lose the lower half on a soft reset but not the top.
On a HARD reset you will lose them both.
I lose the graphic for the icon on the top in my settings menu. The .exe icon (white square w/blue top) is there and it works but the app specific icon is not there. For instance, instead of the "Yahoo go!" icon or "Live Search" icon, there is just a generic white box with the blue bar at the top. It's just an appearance thing, but it is annoying. I love tinkering with this thing so I want to get it figured out.
thanks
After you do a soft reset go to Settings - Personal - Menu and click any of the programs that you have previously selcted on off and on. The icons will now appear in your Start menu. Don't know why it works, but it does!
Hi,
Anyone found a way to move the new windows taskmanger over a few icons towards the middle? It's always hidden under the X and thus useless to change programs. In fact it might be useful to order/move all the icons in the top task bar??
I've always used Magic Button but it doesn't seem to work that well with WM6.1, Ariel or WiseBar might be an option? Otherwise thinking of remapping one of the very scarce buttons??
Thanks.
Somehow I managed to remove the icon completely. Anyone who knows how to get it back?
settings -> taskmanager , choose button tab.
Hi,
Yep, that was how I setup TaskManager.
x Enable "X" button to end running programs
x End programs by tapping "X"
o End programs by tapping and holding "X"
x Enable Quick Menu on Today screen
x = checked
... however the TaskManager quick menu in under the "X" button. i.e. you have to close every program to get to the manager to change to the program you want ... but now it's closed??
I could use tap & hold to end, then minimise every program to change, but I was thinking like magic button - if I could just move the |||> icon over one space to the left I could tap TaskManger and then go to the program I want. Maybe I'm just being really really dumb?
Missing TaskManger dis this fix the problem?
I'm using the TF3D surface,
Almost every time I hit the today icon from start menu (especially when another program window like explorer is open), the taskbar suddenly disappears and won't come back until restart of the device. That bug is pretty annoying cause’ I sometimes hit that icon accidently.
For me that icon is completely useless (I use Home button instead) so I'd like to remove it, but it seems to be hardcoded for there is no lnk-file in startmenu folder. Has anyone an idea how to get rid of it??
Thanks
tts very weird I never encounter such a bug
nonetheless you can get back the taskbar without restarting
simply go and launch the browser from tf3d then the taskbar will restore on its own
beats a soft reset haha
Thanks!
I'll try that browser method next time...
Does anyone know some program for WM6.1 which give me ability to drag and move icons under start menu and setting menu!?
I think that it is a great idea for PDAs..
Search for Start menu manager...
Is their an option on the N4 to show the menu options on the screen? I know i can drag the menu icon to my home screen. but im looking for a quick way to access the menu settings.
Holding down the left "recents app" button down should bring up the respective menu on whatever screen you are currently on.
