changing the start menu in WM5

[Guest ewel]

In my old phone I had re-arranged the start menu by making some folders and moving shortcuts around. In WM5 I cannot move or copy shortcuts in the start menu because of the error 'access denied'. Is there any solution to this?

[Guest ewel]

Solved it, turned out that I needed to decertify and unlock the phone (which was supposed to be unlocked).

How did you do that?

Are they registry settings or depend which device is?

I have an S620

What worked for me is following the instructions here:

I found some suggestions on the web which covered only two ot three of these reg edits but it only really worked for me when I did all of these.

This apparently does not work for all devices. See also this thread: http://www.modaco.com/application-unlock-soluti-t250114.html

Or pick some of the keywords from these discussions and Google for those with your device name..

You might want to try abstract start. It'll save you the trouble of messing with the registry.

Thank you but what do you mean "abstract" ? Sorry :)

Also I saw that you own a T-mobile Wing device.I just waiting to receive one in the next few days.

Can you give me some information for the device?

Are you happy with it?

Does it perform well? in menus,progs,games,internet etc?

Thanks again

Dear Sir many thanks for your answer. ;)

Finally I have this program and it is very useful indeed , but only to change the order that programs will appear. :)

I want something more - to be able to make folders and to move system icons into these folders in order

to re-organize them and to have them in the START menu the way I want. :P

It is Registry depended and there are generally hacks for Windows and ALL the devices or it is device dependand unlock procedure?

For example I own S620 and probably I will have S630 ....

Will I be able to "unlock" them and make the modifications I want? :D

Thank you Sir for your help...

You wouldn't encounter trouble with 'general' / basic hacks including those homescreen-related ones IF your unit is fully application and 'security' unlocked. There are certain sections of the registry which can only be modified once certain keys are unlocked. SDA Security Unlocker for example, can achieve such task on 2002/2003 SE units I've tried. I am not familiar though with how stuff are done on S620.

It's the good ole C500 that I'm still using.
