Start/Settings/Personal/Soft Keys - where is it?

[Guest nuttyphilt]

Just thought I'd remap my Calendar and Contacts keys on my M3100 but the Soft Keys option isn't there.... I've only got the 'Buttons' options but this doesn't control the Left and Right hardware keys.

Any ideas how to get this option back?

Cheers.

Don't know how to get the shortcut back (other than a hard reset - if it was ever there in the first place) but there should be a file in the Windows directory called SoftKeyApplet - try running that.

Doesn't seem to be there.

I found a registry tweak on XDA Developers that does the trick nicely. Seems strange that this option isn't there on the M3100 though. :rolleyes:

Anyone else on a M3100 missing this? Are Orange ripping it out?

Definitely missing on my M3100 - another useful tool that Orange deemed unworthy of being part of their ROM :rolleyes:

Hey, @nuttyphil, wanna post a link to the registry hack so the rest of us can get tweaking :(

Cheers, Mark.

you can change the softkeys by editing the following keys:

Left softkey: HKCU/software/microsoft/Today/Keys/112

Right softkey: HKCU/software/microsoft/Today/Keys/113

Under the above two keys there are the following value to edit:

Default = name that will appear on the softkey

Open = path to exe

You could of course buy Vito Button mapper or join Modaco Plus where you get if for free to edit these values. There is other software out there that allows changing these values such as sbsh iLauncher 3 to.
