Making a shortcut to a web page. - Windows Mobile Themes

I use for very long time SPB Shell and I am very happy with it, but what I was missing it was a direct link to a web site. For long time I used links on first page of Opera but they are only 9 and I need it more. Sow I start digging for a solution.
I find this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490447 on my favorite site (xda-developers.com) but it doesn't say nothing about web links. So I just try a solution by myself and I find it. Please remember maybe somebody else find this solution to, but personally, I didn`t find noting about this subject in my searches.
How you to:
1. You create a new .lnk file or you just duplicate one already existent (you can do this in other programs to but i will explain only for resco)
2. Rename .lnk file with any name you desire.
3. At properties on second tab named "Shortcut" on "Target" field write "http://www.website.com" were www.website.com is you desired website. Please do not forget to write the "http://" part because without the link is not working.
4. Deselect if is need it "Hidden" option on "General" tab other ways backup program will ignore the link and you may lost it on next restore.
4. Whit a specialized program change icon of link with a icon of your choice. I created a icon (png file) with a snap shot for every page I use.
5. Enjoy.
Here is my page in SPB Shell dedicated to Web (for icon used here please visit my blog www.everydaymobiles.blogspot.com)

How do I link ifonez icons to built in apps?

Hi
I am new to this forum and to HTC. I have set up my new phone with S2UL, Ifonez and Icontact. I have got a number of my apps working fine from Ifonez but I cant seem to find the files or commnads to load Windows Mobile 6 built in applications such as the following
Communication Manager
Task Manager
Programmes.
I have been searching through Google and these forums in order to find out but cant seem to find anything, so sorry if this is an obvious question.
I am also using Icontact Burt edition which is mostly working fine. However I am finding one or two contacts are displaying underneath the top bar so that I cannot really make out the entry. I only discovered it by searching for an entry that I knew was there but couldn't see in the list. Icontact seems to display a screen at a time rather than a continuous list so I am finding it difficult to see who these entries relate to. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Greg

Thanks for the quick reply.
If I understand this correctly I create a text file with the appropriate code in it and then rename the file with the extension lnk. Then I point one of ifonez launch icons towards this file. Is that correct?
If it is I still cant seem to see a code for Communication Manager or to open the Programs folder. Have I misunderstood?
You would simply make a .txt file with the "data" of the thing you want to link to, save the file, and then change the extension of the file from .txt to .lnk.
For example, to create a shortcut to Settings>System>Memory>Main, you would make a text document with this in it:
20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4
Save the file as "Memory", and then use a file explorer/manager to change the extension from "Memory.txt" to "Memory.lnk"
The link to the Comm Manager is: 39#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
The link to the Programs folder [in the Start Menu] is 40#"Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"
Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been caught up with work and unable to look at this forum until now. So thanks for your reply it was really helpful.

Searching for a few lost cab's

(Please correct me if I should ask submit such a request here or in the software forum.)
I exchanged my defective Tilt for a new one and unfortunately didn't back up my cab files I loaded. Through searching here I managed to get some back, but I'm lost on finding a few others. Can someone point me to the following cabs? Thanks.
Internet Sharing (To replace program ATT removed from new Tilt's)
Task Manager (i.e. made tasks icons on title bar)
Have you Checked P1Tater's or AllTheWay's 4Shared? Could even be in Scotchua's
I've looked at a number of threads, but I don't remember those. I'm new at this. Do I search for those terms to get there?
Also, I feel like a real putz, because I can't remember how I installed the cabs last go around. Can you tell me? For example I have the cab for Opera 9.5, but don't remember what to do with it. Thanks.
At the Top of the Threads list Click the One that says "READ THIS FIRST" It will have a link to their file repositories.

1. To install a .cab, just plug in your phone, copy the .cab over to the Documents on your phone, then go into your phone, do Start Menu > Programs > File Explorer, go to My Documents, then click on the .cab
2. All those places are:

How to add shortcut in the Internet tab

Hi, in my factory default setting, i have Youtube shortcut in the "Internet tab", I wanna add more shortcuts in the internet tab, i mean a shortcut to application, not the website bookmark. Is anyway to do it? Thanks
No...
You can only add website links here, not application shortcuts I'm afraid
You can add shortcuts here. You have to edit an XML file. Its location depends on TF3D version. For me, it was 27c65cbd_manila in Windows directory, but most people had this file somewhere else.
I am sure there was thread describing that in detail, because I found information on how to modify Internet tab there.
Ooops!
My apologies... must have missed that thread.
Note to self; Read before posting
Thank you, both kosherpig and grahamkdt, let me search for that thread, and i will put it here if i found it.

HTC Youtube Application Fix for Landscape Search Issues

Hey guys. Well, I have the HTC Fuze (aka Touch Pro) and I love to use the slide-out keyboard. Well, using it with the latest HTC Youtube Application (v1.6.1820.4128), I found that the orientation did not switch and that a thin white rectangle would appear on the screen to show me what I typed. I think that those of us with this agree that it looks ugly.
I did a bit of tinkering and found that the Youtube.exe in the latest version does not orient Search to landscape properly on the Touch Pro. The only version that seems to do this properly is the one from the Diamond. To get the benefits of both worlds (latest Youtube and working landscape Search) all we need is the Youtube.exe from the previous version. No need to change any other files or add/delete registry entries.
Needed File: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E8OM7PD4
Solution:
1. Go to your device's Windows folder and backup the original Youtube.exe.
2. Replace the original exe with the one you downloaded. Use TotalCommander or any other program that lets you edit system files. Overwrite if prompted. If you are unable to replace the file, soft reset your device and try again.
Now enjoy!
The only disadvantage of the Youtube.exe from the older version is that the Program Guide will not appear if you do not have any custom favorites/channels added. If you do add a custom favorite/channel, the Program Guide will appear like it did in the original HTC Youtube, but the Auto &Vehicles channel will give the error "No Videos Found". Anything you add will start at #13 and count up (14, 15 ,16, ...).
Program Guide Style Editing (If you do not want the default channels)
1. Use your favorite Registry Editor and navigate to
HKLM\Software\HTC\Youtube
2. Now inside this, find the ProgramGuideStyle key and change its value from 1 to 0. Hexadecimal or Decimal doesn't matter since 0 is the same in both number systems.
Now you will have a Program Guide whose only default channel will be "All Videos" and anything you add will start at 2 and count up (3,4,5, ...).
Needed File: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E8OM7PD4
The above file was uploaded from a virus/spyware free system. However, I cannot guarantee that you will download a virus/spyware free file, so PLEASE SCAN THE FILE AFTER YOU DOWNLOAD to make sure it is virus/spyware free.
Hope this helps!
This is great!! That bug has been annoying the heck out of me for God knows how long!!

Slide from one html page to another

Hi
I am making an android book app with java using one web view and my pages in html files.
I created an assets folder , under src- main and store my pages in there
Now all I'm missing is a navigation method.
As I am new to this, I am trying to find how to slide from one html page to another instead of clicking buttons. please if you know how , set an example because like I said I am new to this.
here is a link to the app I made if you want to have a look(its very small for testing purposes, with 3 pages).
https://github.com/Philip2021-Gr/book-app-sliding-between-html-files
So far no one gave me any reliable answer that refers to a rookie like me in coding nor I find a video tutorial that saws how to do that with html pages that are stored in your assets folder.
Thank you in advance
Philip
