Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 What are the other things you can do with this tweak knowing it can launch both *.EXE and *.LNK files? Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pagemakers Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Sorry. Don't get it ;) Can someone give me a stop by step to: 1) Make the right shortcut open the Inbox instead of Contacts 2) Rename the right shortcut button to 'Inbox' and not 'Contacts' 3) Still have the Contacts button in Start/Contacts actually open Contacts and not Inbox. Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I'll give it a shot... EDIT Here it is Pagemakers. 1. Download cab attachment then install to phone. 2. Download and unzip 'DumpMeToStartMenu.zip'. As the filename says, you have to place the content of the zip to \Storage\windows\Start menu HTHDumpMeToStartMenu.zipsoftkeytweak.CAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 You're welcome Pagemakers. Coming up... 'Compose New' SMS tweak, can be launched using a speed dial key. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fozzie Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) I use the cheats method; I've a sub folder hidden away in the depths of my start menu where I dump all these sorts of shortcuts. (I'm using the shortcut 20#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body "" for a new SMS) Then I can easily create a speed-dial to them through the normal method ;) Edited June 14, 2005 by fozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest el_plebillo Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Question! Does anybody knows the default path for Contacts on a Smt5600? I know it's not what this forum is about, but, with all those registry tweaks somebody might know. somehow I mess it up and now, I get a ms contacts path not found message. Thanks. Do you guys also know how I can get the Photo Contacts application to be the default contacts application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Re: Contacts HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS\1 Default value (String Value) = appman.exe -s Apps :MSCONTACTS tpcutil.dll AMContacts Re: PhotoContacts You can use the 'right soft key' tweak to change from Contacts to PhotoContacts. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Home\Keys\113\Open Sample string value = \Windows\Photo_Contacts.lnk ; so instead of the default Contacts app, what will launch on right soft key access will be IA PhotoContacts app. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Donny Bahama Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Thus 112 is for the left softkey! Anyone tried this trick on the left soft key? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I found a great little app called RightMenu and had it installed on the right soft key. It made for such a greatly improved Start menu that I found I never used the left soft key. So I figured- why not change the registry key from 113 to 112 and just use it as my Start menu? That way I can configure the right soft key for something else (that would be useful - like maybe photo contacts). Well, I tried it, and the right soft key has now gone back to "Contacts", but the left soft key is still the same old crappy WM Start menu. :) If anyone has any ideas on why this is or how to make it work, I'd love to hear them. (And if any of you download the RightMenu trial, you'll be as motivated as I am to get this working!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sashooo Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Right soft key is key 113 in Registry. I was wondering which key in Registry corresponds to the “Contacts” key (the key under the left soft key - SP5) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dmarsh Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hi Guys from Toronto, First time poster on Modaco - reason being I have just come over from SE UIQ to WM5 - I have a SP5 and am enjoying the phone a lot. I have a question - I have the right key tweak (113) working perfectly other than if I reboot the phone (soft or hard) the soft key display reverts back to contacts although when I press it it still operates the string (in my case to open task manager). The only way I can get the right soft key to display correctly is to go into the registry and make a change to the default value and then it iwll display correctly until I turn off the phone and we are back to where we started. Anybody have an idea how to get the right key to show correctly all the time? Many thanks David the Xuk Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PPCPassion Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) dmarsh, Install the attached cab file. Go back and change the registry of key 113 to your desired choice (the way you have been doing). Reboot the phone. You may still see "contacts" displayed but pressing the contacts soft key once will correctly display Right Menu. NOTE: I an NOT the author of this cab and do not take credit for it. However, I can't remember the name of the author--sorry!! It does work though!!Startup_Assistant.CAB Edited January 2, 2006 by PPCPassion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stewjo Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 If you have an orange e200/c500 you can create a 'create new message' shortcut on the homescreen. :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you explain how to do this, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be keycode 113. Check this thread http://www.modaco.com/TotW-Change-the-func...ey-t208536.html For the Value Data, try using "\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "New" or create a new LNK, dump it to a folder on your phone then use as value data, the path to LNK. This LNK code opens Inbox 00#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "New" I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest achromic Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) Just in case anyone still needs to customise their soft key, SK2 (or Contacts), I've just written a simple application that will allow you to choose what application to link to it, and also to change the title above the key. :) Simple to install, and simple to use, I think <_< Any comment, just send them here. Hope you enjoy it. :P (Too many hours spent in front of a computer) RightkeySet.CAB Edited July 28, 2007 by achromic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Got no physical device to test this but it works good on WM5 emulator. Thanks for sharing, achromic. :) I have to install .Net Compact Framework v2.0 from this page for the utility to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest achromic Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) gpcarreon No problem! :) Hopefully, I should be updating the application. Adding in a few more tweaks. Once again, it'll be freeware! Please use, enjoy, and share :D :P 2nd August 2007!!! ;) Just to left anyone who wants to know, the new application is ready. This one takes over from SK2 Setting. Download it directly from here, AchromicsTweaks.CAB or from Achromics Tweaks Once again, :D Too many hours infront of the computer!
