Guest b o o Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I know on the blackjack you can use a reg editor and swap them around or in file explorer /windows/start menu/ Then right soft key and copy/cut and paste where you want it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kpy Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) Having looked at the Start Menu now for a while, it is definitely weird. Here is what I did, use at your own risk. You can use the Explore feature in activesync to move shortcuts from one folder to another, but I could not reorder them that way. For that, I had to go to the registry. I found the order of shortcuts under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu By clicking on the Order key, you can cut and paste the shortcuts and folders in your order of preference, then reboot the phone. The Windows Media Player shortcut on my phone was nested under the AT&T Music listing in the Start Menu. The two weird things I have found are 1) Some submenus need you to press the G key to see the next page, some you press the left softkey (that is just sloppily inconsistent) and 2) some shortcuts have a number before them so if you move one, the numbers on that particular menu are out of order and you need to edit the shortcut names to change the number to reflect that. Then you need to edit the Order key as mentioned above to the new name. For example, I renamed the folder AT&T Music to Music Applications. Then I edited the Order reg key to reflect the same. Hope that helps and if someone has a better way, let me know! Update: I realized Google Maps and Yahoo Go were still dangling at the end of the past page of my Start Menu. I inserted them to the Order reg key above and now the are right where I want them. Be careful to enter them exactly as they are (Yahoo! Go 2.0.lnk) into the reg key. Also, under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMRU entry is a key called InitialOrder. On that, I edited it to reflect any folder or shortcut name changes for consistency's sake. So far, everything is working just fine. Edited December 20, 2007 by kpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crackerjacks Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I installed Total Commander to re-arrange my start menu icons. However, I have no idea how to change the order since it is in HEX. Can you elaborate on how you were able to get installed programs from the end of the menu to where ever you want.

Guest kpy Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu By clicking on the Order value, you can cut and paste the shortcuts and folders in your order of preference, in the Value Data field, then reboot the phone. Mine looks like this now, and you must have one entry per line. Those without a .lnk extention refer to folders. You can use windows explorer to reorder the items within the folders on the device: Messaging.lnk Calendar.lnk Contacts.lnk Settings.lnk Call History.lnk Organizer Applications Games Yahoo! Go 2.0.lnk Google Maps.lnk My Stuff.lnk Internet Explorer.lnk ActiveSync.lnk IM & Email Pocket MSN.lnk Music Applications Cellular Video.lnk MEdia Net.lnk AT&T Mall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crackerjacks Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 So even though all the default values in Order are in Hex, I can simply delete everything and type in the shortcuts? Sorry, I just want to make sure before I mess-up my registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chad B. Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 The easiest way to customize your start menu is to use Jeyo Personalizer 1.0...it's free and can be downloaded at www.jeyo.com. Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crackerjacks Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 The default values aren't in hex! P This is where I went and found it in Hex code: registry\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Order Once I am in order its says: Edit Hex Value Within that file, there is a box containing all the hex codes (i am guessing for the start menu???)

Guest thelostsoul Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I can't use Total Commander? Well, I suppose you can, but I can't offer you advice on how. RegeditSTG is freeware and easily found with a quick google... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crackerjacks Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I downloaded RegeditSTG and was able to edit the Order file, but now after restarting, nothing is in the order I put it in.

Downloaded Jeyo Personalizer and the Themes change screen just runs and runs apparently trying to download all the themes' thumbnails without ever loading. Does anyone have this same problem and know the fix? Thanks. Edited January 17, 2008 by eman006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest penguin123 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Ok I am having a few issues when trying to reorder some icons. I recently installed the Gmail app and Opera Mini. However I have to navigate to Windows\Start Menu\Applications\Java\ in order to find the icons. I tried plugging into my PC and exploring to rearrage the icons, but I can't locate the gmail or opera link. Is there anyway to move these shortcuts to the homepage so i dont have to navigate through all those windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dshosu Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I don't know how to get around your Opera problem but I know you can sort of circumvent your GMail problem. You don't need the GMail program to get your GMail. Just set up your GMail account for "IMAP forwarding" 1. do this in your gmail account 2. do this on your phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
