Start Menu Link to "Text Message" Inbox

[Guest csc12345678]

Hi ! I guess this has been asked before. But when I search the forum, I keep getting the Rsoft key type of answer. What I need is a link to SMS "Text Message" Inbox on the Start Menu. Thanks for pointing out the correct forum posting. Thanks very much.

You mean a Start Menu shortcut which will directly open Inbox (SMS)? Then try this code:

00#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS"

Copy-paste to Notepad then save as 'Open Inbox.txt' (or any desired name). Change extension to lnk (instead of txt). Transfer to phone Start Menu folder.

Works on C500, C550 and WM5 emulator. :)

I was about to suggest the same thing....well, almost the same thing - my "version" had 42# at the start of the line. I was under the impression that this was the length of the line following the "#" character, but you've just got "00#" and state that it works fine :)

So, now my question is this..... WTF do the first three characters of the line actually do/mean/indicate ;) :D

Mark.

I was too lazy to count the number of characters in the LNK code so I just used 00. :P

I think it indicates the number of characters in the LNK code. For instance, there are 64 characters in this code, thus '64#'. Count from the first " up to the last " including spaces.

64#"\Storage Card\Program Files\XnView Smartphone\XnSmartphone.exe"

Another example:

Another example:

So I WAS right :P - the characters before the "#" represent the total length of the command string, including any quotation marks....

Thanks for the clarification - and for owning up ;)

Are there any other handy little shortcuts like this? Maybe a list of such shortcuts? I was after one to start a new text message direct from a shortcut.

[Guest csc12345678]

So do I need to change the script or just leave it as it is... since it's working ? Thanks.

Yep. There are certain shortcuts though that does not follow the 'rule'. For instance Call History, Contacts, Voicemail et al. It's using 42# even with lesser number of characters in the code. I cannot figure out why the phone used 42.

Try this code (working on WM2003SE)

00#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""

You can leave it as is. I've been using 00# without any untoward effects on the phone or even with the launching of program.

Everytime I put the .lnk file into my Start Menu directory and reset the device, it removes it! Anyone any idea why?

Is a phone app-locked if you've been able to ROM update it?
