HOW TO CREATE SHORTCUTS ON YOUR PPC, NOT ON THE PC-
1-Don't use the inbuilt file explorer. use gsfinder, or total commander etc. The inbuilt file explorer can't edit links or show file extensions - if you try to rename something to xxx.LNK, it will really be xxx.lnk.txt (or something)
2: Using the other file explorer, copy and paste a shortcut to ANY file/exe/.lnk you want.
3: Tap & hold on this new shortcut, select 'properties'.
4: in properties, write the address of the program you want the shortcut for. ie-
program files\xxx.exe
or
windows\xxx.exe
or
ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,5
(the about screen)...
5: Ok/Close the properties, & rename the link to whatever you want leaving .LNK at the end.
THE OTHER METHOD IS-
Again you'll need a different file explorer.
Create a .TXT file with the content '#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1' (for example) then rename the file extension to .LNK
In my tests a number before the # is NOT required.
If you create a .lnk via the properties, the first method, they would be-
'ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1'.
If you create a text file, the second method, the contents of the text file would be-
'20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1'
NOTES
When creating using a .txt file the contents must start with a '#', if creating by editing the properties of an existing .lnk you do not need the '#'
There are examples below of both methods, if it has a '#' it's the .txt method, if it is in quotes, it is the address as it would need to be in the properties of the .lnk file
It is NOT possible to open a link to the folder view you get by \start menu\programs unless you have folderview.exe in your windows folder, none of my 4 devices have that so I've not tested it.
But you can open to folders with file explorer using, for example-
"\program files\greensoftware\gsfinder.exe" windows\start menu\programs\games
There is NO shortcut to quickly dial a number, you would need to go through the 'confirm number page' of use 3rd party soft such as vijay555's
Available parameters for tmail.exe (depending on the service used) are-
tmail.exe -new ""
"tmail.exe" -service "" (e.g. "MMS" or "ActiveSync" or "SMS" etc)
"tmail.exe" -to ""
"tmail.exe" -subject ""
"tmail.exe" -Body ""
"tmail.exe" -attach ""
"tmail.exe" -open "inbox"
"tmail.exe" -sync
or combinations of all such as-
"tmail.exe" -to "N_E_One@gmail.com" -subject "Photos" -Message "Hi, here is the picture" -attach "\my documents\my pictures\1.jpg"
Calendar year view
21#:MSCALENDAR -vy?outres.dll,-100002
Calendar must be already running in the background for these to work
New Task: "poutlook.exe" tasks -new
New Note: "notes.exe" -n
New Contact: "poutlook.exe" contacts -new
New Appointment: "poutlook.exe" calendar -new
contacts...
23#"\Windows\poutlook.exe" contacts
"\windows\camera.exe" -i =photo mode
"\windows\camera.exe" -v =video mode
"\windows\camera.exe" -p =contact photo mode
"\windows\camera.exe" -m =mms video mode
"\Windows\HTCAlbum.exe" -mode:camera -type:image
"\Windows\HTCAlbum.exe" -mode:camera -type:video
You will also have ?PowerOffWarning.exe (long power press key) (and maybe others) in your windows folder renaming another .exe (such as device lock) and pasting into windows will result in the long press of the power key running that program instead of turning off your device.
