Shortcut Maker is a simple pocket pc software that helps you to make multiple shortcut in start menu.
Just unzip, copy this program to your device (SD card or device) and run it.
Browse for files, ADD and then press GO and voila - you have some new programs in Start Menu-Programs.

I once again will show my ignorance but what process do I use to install cab files onto my Sprint ppc 6600. I have them downloaded but I am clueless as to what I need to do next. This site has been AWESOME thanks!
Using Activesync, put your Pocket PC into the cradle, when it is done syncing, press the Explore button. Then go to a folder you want the cab to be put, and copy it from your desktop computer and paste it into the Explore window. Then, on your pocket pc, use File Explorer to locate the file, and then select it to have it install.
Can't install
After copying the cab file to Blue Angel and transfer the cab file, I tap on the file to install. All I get tis this message " The file "*.dll" is in use or is in Rom. No matter how I try or reset the device, still I can't get it installed.
On mmy 8925 Tilt, I did just what I did on my old 8525, but I am having error messages.
I went into Windows > Start Menu > Programs, and made some new folders to organize my shortcuts.
I now. randomly, get two specific program error messages that the .lnk file cannot be found, BUT, when I go to the Start Menu, click on the link, the two applications open and operate.
Any suggestion, other than move the link. Thanks
Are you using the Menu tool in the Settings-Home tab? For some reason when you assign a program to the Start menu, it moves the shortcut from the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder to the Windows/Start Menu folder. This then screws up any shortcuts you have setup (like in the appplication tab of the HTC home plugin).
I wonder if there is a registry setting to change this behavior? This did not happen on my 8525 w/ WM6.
No, that is not an issue. These are links that were listed under Programs, in the Start Menu, that I moved into subfolders that I created; like the folder "Utilities" has within it MemMaid, and SK Tools, etc.
I would create a new link for the two entries that 'short circuit' and replace the old (original) links, but I do not know how to do this!
Can anyone help me create new links??
Thanks
I am not quite sure exactly what you are trying to do, but here is what I do to create folders and shortcuts in my Start Menu\Programs folder.
With a File Explorer Navigate to Windows\Start Menu\Programs (or the directory you want to put the links in)
Click Menu, select New Folder, and type the desired name for the folder.
Next Navigate to the .EXE file for the program you want to make a shortcut to. (If it is a program you have added, it may be in either the \\Program Files, \\Windows, or \\Storage Card\Program Files folder)
Highlight the .EXE file and select Menu->Edit->Copy
Next Navigate back to the Folder you created in the Start Menu\Programs
Select Menu->Edit->Paste Shortcut (This will create a .lnk file that links back to the .EXE) You can rename the .lnk file whatever you like, and that is what will show up in the Programs Folder.
hello
i need to move many application shortcuts from programs menu to folder.
like ofice mobile: contain word, excel , power point...
system tools: internet sharing, comm manager...
i am using romeos rom
Hi,
What you need to do is using your phones File Explorer or something similar, navigate to your windows directory, then the directory called start Menu.
In here you can create new folders and move icons around into different folders. this will then show how you want it to on the Start > Programs menu when you navigate your programs list.
Hope this helps you.

ROMeOS containts Total Commander on the start menu (not in programs). Open it and navigate to the \Windows\Start menu folder, then you move files like in you do in Normal Desktop Windows.
Thanks

hi guys, im new here and got my diamond just yesterday.. its my first pocket pc, and i need real help..
looked around the forums and found a lot of good stuff..
downloaded a couple of applications like advanced configuration tools, gsen, registery editor, but i dont know how to install them. when i unzip the files on my pc the are in xml format and when i double click on the setup file it opens in notepad..
plz help me, what should i do? how do i install these applications?
Instead of unzipping the .cab files on your pc, you need to copy them to your diamond (using activesync or select 'disk drive' when you plug it in).
Then open file explorer on your diamond, navigate to where you copied the .cab file, and run it - .cab is an installer file for windows mobile applications

Do the following, hehe
When you download most programs they will be in .CAB format. Now all this means is that they can be installed DIRECT from the phone.
What I do is create a folder on my Diamond in Internal Storage called APPS and make sure my Diamond is synced to my pc / laptop using Activesync on XP or Windows Mobile Device centre if on Vista and then copy all the .CABS that i have downloaded into the APPS folder on my phone.
Once im ready to install the applications its very simple.
On your Diamond click on START and then PROGRAMS and locate FILE EXPLORER.
When FILE EXPLORER has loaded up in the top left of the window you will notice a memory card icon with the current directory you mobile is pointing to, push this and you will then see MY DEVICE and the location you are currently at.
If you have used a pc before its very similar to how the pc windows explorer used to navigate, anyway, select MY DEVICE and then choose INTERNAL STORAGE and then APPS.
Then its just a matter of selecting which application you wish to install as all the .CABS will be displayed. Select the one you want to install and follow the installation process.
If there are any small programs 1mb or less then I tend to install these onto my phone storage memory and for games I install them onto INTERNAL STORAGE but its up to you. Some programs require a SOFT RESET to work.
The SOFT RESET button is located where the STYLUS is stored on the phone, pull the STYLUS out and then you will see a RED BUTTON inside.
Push this and your phone will restart.

As the title says I want to add a program to my programlist.
The problem is: I installed TomTom navigator 7 on my SD card. It works fine, but I can't start it from the programlist nor I can find it to use it as a shortcut...
To start TomTom I have to navigate to TomTomnavigator.exe in the program files on my SD card. Its very annoying to navigate everytime to the file. Is there a way to add it to the programlist so I can start I with one touch?
I'm using a HTC Blackstone HD.
Thanks!
some roms currently have an option for exe files that is shown when you press and hold to create a shortcut for it in the start menu. if yours doesn't, copy the file, and go to /windows/startmenu/ and paste a shortcut for the file there.
