Creating Link In Home screen

[Guest thethakuri]

Hi,

This might be pretty idiotic to ask and really easy to answer, but its been bugging me for some time now. I am trying to customize my Home Screen with Shortcuts to programs directly from the screen. Everything else went well except for one thing. I cannot seem to find the link or exe file for Date and Time Settings. I looked everywhere and my best bet was on TimeWizard.exe under /Windows folder but nothing happens when I click on it. Could anyone please let me know where is the executable file for Date and Time Setting is. By the way I am using WM2K3.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi. Welcome to MoDaCo Forum ;)

Copy code. Create a New Text Document in PC then dump code. Save code as 'Date and Time.txt'. Change extension from TXT to LNK. Transfer the LNK to \Storage\windows\Start Menu.

00#"\Windows\settings.exe" clock.cpl.xml

You can open the link directly in Start Menu folder then it will register in the MRU list of your homescreen (if your HS XML is using the MRU plugin). The code will open 'Date and Time' without going thru Settings.

Is this great or what ? Thanks for your response and hospitality. I'll give it a shot.

I tried it and it does work from the Start Menu. However, what I'm trying to do is call the Date and Time link using rjshortcut plugin right from the home screen. When I do that, it says "The control panel document clock.cpl.xml cannot be loaded. Verify the XML and try loading the control panel again." Help !!!

Works fine using Facade with this button code:

;)

But I guess RJShortcut doesn't support this.

@thethakuri

RJShortcut plugin must support arguments for the sample code to work.

Thanks for the Facade info.
