Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Not liking the Windows Logo on your Second-Edition Smartphone Start Menu? Here's a great tweak... you can remove it with a simple registry change - huge thanks to Darren T for the tip! To remove the Start Menu flag, using PHM Registry Editor, navigate to HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftShell, create a key called Home, and add the entry 'Dptf' with the value 'DWORD:3'. Reboot, and hey presto - no more flag! I can confirm... it works! You can get PHM Registry Editor here: http://www.phm.lu/Products/Smartphone/RegEdit/ Don't forget folks, editing your registry is DANGEROUS, and should only be undertaken by experienced tweakers ^_^ P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadamehr Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Does this mean there is any way to CHANGE it, to point to a DIFFERENT logo Paul, via a Registry entry, and the corresponding image loaded onto the phone somewhere...? Any ideas anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I do too generally... it looks great with the MSN skin, at with a lot of others it just looks wrong! P Posted from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midnight Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 in that case, us skinners should just add that reg key depending on our skins some with the logo, some without, whichever looks best ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pierre Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I like the Windows logo. I find good they removed the year. But I hate the Orange ugly picture that looks like a black hole or some other scary stuff. Doesn't suit to Orange, or..? Help! I'm still unable to have MSN skin to work on my C500.

Guest lllr Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Paul, I tried this little trick on a HTC C500 and a T-Mobile SDA with no luck. I attached a screen shot of the registry. Don't mind the PocketPC name, this is the only way I can connect to the device with Embedded Visual Tools. I confirm the changes took place using the mobile PHM Registry Editor.Dptf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest I. C. Monsters Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 This one won't work on my C500. I have entered the new DWORD exactly as instructed, and I am quite familiar with editing the registry. Does anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 In the Value make sure you only put in 3 and not DWORD:3 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
