Hello everyone
I'm looking for the icon which is displayed in "My computer" as Touch Pro 2. I tried to find it in Program Files but I couldn't. Can someone post that icon here or tell me where i can find it in my computer?

I had to make one myself... I found a good png and then converted to an icon file.
I found when I disconnected my phone the icon would dissapear so what I did is make a direct shortcut when the phone was connected and draged that onto my desktop. This gave me a direct link to the phone when it was connected as a disk drive. From there I changed the icon to the one I made, which is super easy.
Right click on the shortcut on your desktop (or wherever you have it saved to) and select "Change icon" then navigate to where you saved the icon... you have to keep the icon file where you plan on having it saved otherwise the shortcut icon will go back to the default one that shows nothing really... so save it in your pictures folder somewhere or something..
This icon is quite similar - also good Thank you for sharing it.

When you click on Programs on the Start Menu you get the Programs window, right?
How can I link to that?
I want to add it to an icon on cLaunch. Tried the "windows\start menu\programs" but it opens file explorer in that location. I want to access the same window you get if you tap "Programs" in the start menu.
Anyone?
Thanks!
erm its difficult.
The easiest way to get to the same looking window for Programs is to get hold of a file called Folderview.exe. That does it. But it only does that folder anyway.
If you can program or create a script then you can launch the programs screen by sending keystrokes to the Start menu but again only shows that folder.
If you want to show the files in any folder but in icon view rather than list then you can either get something which changes the built in file manager to show icon view or else use a separate file manager for it like Explorer (formerly gsfinder++). That way you get the same sort of look.
Sorry I dont have the links to all this stuff but it might help you searching.
Folderview.exe... can't find it. is it supposed to be part of WM6 or is it an add-on?
See if this works
From the "IPhone like..." thread, see if this works.
\Windows\fexplore.exe"\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

it's added to wm6 devices by HTC as part of the HTC today plugin.
got it. Its just what wanted. but...
Internet favorites files dont show up, but that is not so bad.
The other diference between this prog and clicking the "programs" link on the start menu is that, when I enter a folder, "Games" for example, if I press hardware key "OK", the program closes, while if i clicked the "programs" on the start menu, and entered the "Games" Folder and pressed "OK" it would go back to the original "programs" window.

That's interesting ...remember what it was called? Google returns empty.
what file type do icons need to be in order to use them in ultimate launch? ico comes up with a windows icon, bmp comes up with an opera icon, and .icons come up with folders.
You need ICO
when i use ico, all of the icons have an opera icon when i put it on windows mobile. i deleted opera but it still comes up.
so i guess windows mobile set opera to open all ico files. how do i change this?
Don't know how to do it normally, but using Schap's Advanced Config tool, there's a File Associations setup tab
i'll try it out. so what program do i change ico files to in order for the icons to show? picture viewer?
mine does the opera thing too. Did you figure out how to fix it?
I had the opera icon issue after I installed the 9.5 beta. I fixed it last night with a hard reset...
I'm having a similar problem and would prefer not to do a hard reset. I can change the file association with file commander, but what do i change it to?
Thanks in advance.
it doesn't matter what file association it has for it to be used with UL. It's not like you are using the icon within file explorer to launch UL.
Put it in a folder somewhere.
When you run UL configuration when adding a app, select Xp-icon button. after you select the .exe or .lnk file, click on the icon tab, then browse button, and then find the folder containing the icons and select the one you want for that app.
It should have nothing to do with what file is associated with it.
I had the opera beta installed and ultimatelaunch would just show error for all my icons. I uninstalled opera but now all my icons are displayed as IE icons.

have a look on the ini file and check where the corresponding icon-path refers to.
I found the problem. I was trying to use the glass looking icons posted in another thread about Ultimate Launch. The icons weren't recognized until i set the size to 58x58.
I seems that no matter where you put your icons, somehow Opera takes over and converts them into the "O" icon no matter what they look like. is there any way to take back the default look of the icon's with out hard resetting?

exactly. there are many reasons why an icon will not be recognized. File association by a browser is NOT one of them.
here is another tip: if you are using icons all of the same size, you can go to the tab on the main menu labelled xp-icons and set the size of the icons there, that way you don't have to individually check the box for each individual icon and rechange the size for each one unless that icon is different in size than the one you set on the main menu tab.
Is it possible to get UL to display the calendar? I've been looking through everything I can find on my phone all day and can't find any way to make it display that.
for the "XP" icons you need to use 32 bit icons. there are different versions of .ico. 32 bit have an alpha channel for transparency, they can also have various sizes within such as 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48. There are many programs out there to create the icons with. Like said earlier you also have to have enough room to see the icons of the size you choose 48 needs height of 48+ 32...you get the picture.
some apps to make .ico with:
GIMP
iicon
gconvert
I can't get the calendar plugin to work with Ultimatelaunch, anyone else has this problem
I use the calendar/today plugin TodayAgenda. Added that as a tab within UltimateLaunch. Works perfectly.

Unfortunately, in this case it does seem to matter. the Opera icon highjacked the UltimateLauncher icon itself when I changed my layout. The content of the file hasn't changed a bit, just the way it is displayed everywhere on the Pocket PC.
Hi,
I'm looking for the exe file that launches the Wi-Fi settings (start/settings/connections/Wi-fi). I would like to make a shortcut to it...
I had no success looking for it in the windows folder.
Thanks in advance.

I use SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 and this software knows how to get widgets (shortcut) on Today. There is "Wirelless manager" in Start-Settings-Connections. Make a shortcut and be happy!

Thanx both of you, with the little program from "azahidi's" link i succeeded to use my WiFi, thanx guys your great

Orig WiFi program as supplied with windows can be found using file explorer- Windows folder then scroll down till you see a file"WLanSettings" with a small picture of a PDA next to it.Highlight this file then select copy. Navigate to where you want to install, click in the window. Choose paste shortcut. Next, if you want, rename shortcut. Copy result, navigate to the folder you wish to place the shortcut in (ie settings?), paste. Close explorer, go to start menue, navigate to shortcut just created, should work

Thanks for the suggestion. I already found these WLanSettings, but it still isn't exactly what I'm after. When I launch WLanSetting, next I have to turn on Wireless LAN, wait...because my access point takes a while to appear in the list, because of the waiting period it doesn't "auto connect" anymore, so I have to press "change network" and select it manually from the list with detected access point...Hold it...
Thanks again !! because when trying this (at this very moment), "Settings" appeared in my task manager (after pressing "change network"; this opened Configure Wireless Networks). Through task manager I was able to see what exe-file was behind "Settings". It's "ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,17,2". Thanks to Google I just found out that putting 33# before ctlpnl.exe (without a space!) and saving this as .lnk works perfectly!!!

I am using Androkidd on my device which is an Android type screen on which I created an icon directly to system settings and another icon which went directly to the "new text message" page.
I needed to move the app to the storage card and in doing so lost some quick launch icons. Therefore it was necessary to redo the icons lost, but now I cannot find the paths to the settings and new text message screens. I do not remember in which file/s they were located.
The links do not appear anywhere in the Windows directory that I can identify. A link to 'Settings' is found in the Start menu, but the path cannot be determined.
Can anyone help me? I'm up against a wall on this one.
Thank you.

If you moved the app, you should have some configuration or settings file, which should be readable in a text editor. Having said that, if you need the links to settings, take a look at this:

Hope this helps.
Just got my A7. On the home screen when I choose "file" I get a blank black box and a file icon named "file". I am able to put apps, bookmarks etc. into this file, but how can I change this icon name on the home screen from "file" to the name I want for it?
Many thanks.

By file do you mean folder?
If so, open the folder, then hold your finger on the title for a couple seconds until a edit box appears.
One more question?
Thanks for the help. That works and I can now rename my folders.
How do I do I get the shortcuts or apps into the folder? I thought I was "adding" them to the folder but it turns out I was putting them on the home screen. I am trying to do the equivalent to dragging and dropping into a folder but I can't seem to drag them on my A7.
Thanks in advance.

Same as renaming the folder. Hold your finger on the icon until it is movable, then drop it on top of the folder you want to put it in.
