Changing the buttons

[Guest aznsolo]

Sorry I'm a WM5 noob. Is there any way or a registry setting to change the Calendar button to something else on the Vario.

You can change what both softkeys control by going to

Start>Settings>Softkeys

and simply choose whatever you want

Strange it's missing from a Vario,

You'll have to do it the hard way then!

If you haven't got a registry editor you can download total commander from HERE, or a 14 day trial of Resco explorer (better) from HERE, both have registry editors built in.

To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key navigate to:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

and change the path in quotes to whatever you want it to open (e.g. for windows media player change it to "\Windows\wmplayer.exe"

To change the title of the Left soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

and change "Calendar" to "Media player"

To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

To change the title of the Right soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Happy hacking!
