myplayer not showing in programs list - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

I auto upgraded to myplayer .96b and now myplayer does not show in the programs lists. I have to navigate to the program using file explorer. I have tried uninstalling and are-installing but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts?

Go to the EXE you use to launch the program in file explorer, tap and hold, and copy it. Then, go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and tap and hold, and select "Paste Shortcut", and then you can rename the shortcut to whatever you want.

Missing "Games" fodler in main "Programs" menu

Hmmmmmmm...
I was installing a few things yesterday, and now it seems that my "Games" folder in "Programs" has disappeared? I can still access it in my start menu, and the game apps are still there. Is there any way to edit what appears or does not appear in the main programs folder?
Browse your device with ActiveSync on your PC, and navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Games, and move it into \Windows\Start menu\Programs\Games
This will stop it being displayed i nthe start menu, but will put it back into Programs where it should be.

Creating shortcut

Hi,
I just installed IPSMS app :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328242
But, it does not have CAB installer or such.
I just unzip it to the "Storage Card".
It works fine though ...
But how can I make a shortcut or something so I can add it to the HTC Home Plugin launcher tab ?
When I tried to add a new item in the HTC Home Plugin launcher tab, I cannot find it listed and I cannot navigate to the Storage Card ...
Thanks for any help.
You can do it in Windows. Attach the Kaiser to your PC, navigate to the storage card, and use Windows to make a shortcut in the Windows Startmenu on your device. I am using my Mac now, so cannot verify, but I believe that if you right-click on the program you get an option to make a shortcut. Then just copy that shortcut into the Starmenu folder.
Alternatively, use Resco explorer. Tap and hold the program and in the context menu choose Send - Send to Start Menu as shortcut.
Thanks I did not realize that "Start Menu" folder.

Add applications to quick launch menu

Hi guys.
First off, I tried to search but I didn't find what I was looking for (probably used the wrong words or something).
Anyways, I downloaded an application as a zip file, unzipped it and put it in a folder on the internal memory. I can launch it from there, but how can I make windows mobile find it so I can add a quick launch button in the application menu in touchflo?
Place a shortcut to the required program in Windows/Start Menu/Programs. That should do it

Try this...
Use a file explorer to browse to the location of the .exe you want a shortcut for. Tap and hold on this file and select 'Copy'. Browse to windows/start menu/programs. Tap and hold again and select 'Create Shortcut'. Now you have a shortcut to your program
sk shortcut manager is also a gr8 app to manage shortcuts

Setting File Associations

Hello all,
I've done countless searches, but can't teach myself how to set file associations on my G1.
I have Text Edit and ASTRO installed and would like to be able to put a shortcut to a text document on my home screen that would automatically open with Text Edit. Right now that ASTRO-built shortcut comes back with an option to open it using File Viewer or HTMLViewer, neither of which allows editing.
There is no provision in Text Edit to register itself as the default text app.
Also, if I put a shortcut to an .XLS file on my desktop, ASTRO intercepts it and says "No activity is available to display this file type." However, if I put a shortcut to a .DOC file, it opens happily with the installed DocsToGo app. It seems the .DOC filetype was registered by DocsToGo but the .XLS is disconnected somehow. My fault or theirs?
(I know I can create a DocsToGo Recently Used folder on my home screen, but I want to skip that step of opening another folder...)
How can I set these associations so they will open with the app I want? I'd be happy if the O/S intercepted it and at least gave me a choice instead of dumping it back with "No activity..."
I've dug a little into the ASTRO File Types screen, but it's not very intuitive...
Thanks.
It may be astro thats causing the problems. try another file browser such as estrongs file explorer

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OK, I've uninstalled ASTRO and have installed ES File Explorer and can now launch .XLS files just by clicking on them so it seems ASTRO didn't know what to do but ES does.
It seems ES even has a built-in text editor so perhaps I can do away with the Text Editor app also.
The problem I have now is putting a shortcut to my document/spreadsheet on my home screen; ASTRO allowed this but is now gone.
How does Android store the file heirarchy for system folders like this? I understand C:/Users/Dave/Desktop et al, but can't find a way to paste a link/shortcut on my G1.
Ideas?
