I wondered where that went too.

"\Windows\PowerTray.exe"

It should be there for most or all wizard devices.

there is also a tray icon to toggle the button lock from start, setting, buttons where you can lock all buttons but the power button.

"\Windows\KeylockTray.exe"

you can drop a shortcut into your startup folder or edit the registry settings at:

HKLM\software\htc\initialtray\

there is one for the power tray and the key lock. just change 0 to 1. I've had mixed results with the registry.

with regards to the WM5 "device lock" I believe it is some kind of call on the shutdown dll and not an exe. I cannot find anyway to put it in the tray but would love too. If we could figure out exactly what that today plugin does we might just be able to make our own shortcut.

To those who were asking for my progress, I figured out my problem. I was making changes to the shortcut path using total commander in the pocket pc. When I created the shortcuts on my laptop using notepad and then moved them over they worked just fine. My only problem now is that I can't find any paths for icons. If anyone knows of a comprehensive icon path listing, or has another suggestion for a program (the one posted on this thread doesn't work for me) I'd appreciate it.

I have set this up and altered the shortcut to skype in the Start Menu.

The shortcut looks like this

99#"\windows\omapclock.exe" -clock 240 -launch "\Program Files\Skype for Pocket PC\skype.exe" -restore

it all works as expected, but the skype icon has changed to the omapclock icon.

I have tried to follow various posts about changing icons, but none of them seem to work with this shortcut.

Does anyone know how to modify the the shortcut to use the skype icon.

Finally it's there: devicelock in tray!

Thanks to Armstrom of this forum, we can now have ourselves a devicelock in the tray instead of on the todayscreen! A lot of people were searching for such a tool. so many thanks to armstrom. for his program clic http://www.mr2-power.com/downloads/DeviceLock.CAB You can asign it to a hardwarebutton or you can put a shortcut in the tray! Nice feature is that you can run one dedicated program together with locking the device (e.g. screen-toggle or something)!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
Einstein... people were specifically looking for a way to re-use the device locking functionality that comes with many Wizards (and Univerals) in the form of a Today item. Vijay and Armstrom both made one which effectively make use of it, so that you don't need to install any other applications and, of course, keep the same look&feel of the original lock.

Personally I don't care for the out-of-the-box lock, as it has issues with the device password stuff and requires screen intervention, but to each their own :)

I had the same problem(as posted earlier in the thread). Have you tried restarting your device? The icon cache needs to be updated with a restart.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] prestonmcafee:
Finding icons

I have several programs that are purely on the storage card -- Metro, Zagat, Listpro and Newsbreak. I created shortcuts to these programs in /windows/programs, and then linked to the shortcuts in traylaunch.

I didn't install these programs in the usual way -- I had installed them to the storage card in the standard way, then performed a hard reset. Since the programs continued to work after the hard reset, I didn't bother to re-install them.

All is fine, except after a soft reset, the icons for these programs are replaced with generic folder icons. The problem is clearly that the storage card is not available at the time traylaunch starts. (This is the reason I created the shortcuts to the programs -- if I linked to the /Storage Card/ location I would receive an error.) If I subsequently run the program, the icons appear normally.

I tried using Memmaid to change the order of the program launch. This aspect of Memmaid is dysfunctional -- I can reverse the order, but not move one program -- and I asked them for help, no response yet.

So one way to fix the problem is to run Traylaunch after a reset, e.g. put a shortcut in the Start Menu that runs the program, say, 1 minute later. An alternative fix is to pchange the icons associated with the shortcuts, mapping them to a file not on the storage card. I would appreciate it if anyone could explain how to do either one of these -- a timed delay program, or extracting the icon files and linking to them in the shortcuts.

(I don't know how to do either part of this -- extracting the icon and attaching it to the shortcut. I realize the entire OMAP/Skype discussion could probably tell me how to do it but that is more complicated than what I want since the goal is to run Omap first, then Skype, then attach a distinct icon to the batch file.)

This site, and this thread in particular, has dramatically improved the usability of my T-Mobile MDA, which is now much better than my Treo 600. Thanks to all!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lpasq:
if you have an app that does this, you can add a file path using traylnch. i'm sure they're out there. otherwise, create a .lnk to the settings tab in question; but you'll need to select on/off as usual (read this thread regarding shortcuts). the oem comm manager tray lauch is close to what you're wanting but i agree a one tap would be awesome instead of the two required by comm mgr!

Yes it works fine, but it don't help me, i would like to have such TCPMP, WMP and others on the tray but i don't know how to input.

Maybe i could do it step by step with...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
ah, well.. for TCPMP/WMP it's a lot easier, really...

basically

1. Open PHM Tray Launch config

2. click the "Add..." button.

3a. In the Target: field, enter for TCPMP:

Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe

3b. In the Target: field, enter for WMP:

Windows\wmplayer.exe

4. Click OK

The program should then show up in the list with the correct icon.

most of the discussion here with the shortcuts is more geared towards linking to e.g. control panel applets, or changing icons.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jean-017:
THX ZeBoxx, really. That's what i needed and it works great for WMP.

But for TCPMP i still have the such "The file 'somefile' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. you might need to reinstall or restore this file" (in french).

So one part of my problem is resolved, how do i do now for the second part if i still have this error message ? May i have to reinstall the files or there's onother easy way ?

You know ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jean-017:
It works for TCPMP also !!! the right way for some of them for me is :

carte mémoire\Programes files\TCPMP\Player.exe

If you have Traylnch installed, please try this. Launch it so that you see the list of programs and the add button, then use Start to go to Today. On my T-Mobile MDA, that only overwrites the top bar, but Traylnch remains visible.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
I don't think there's any efforts in place to remove the tray altogether. If you aren't running any tray apps, it won't appear. On the Wizard, you'll have a file in Windows\StartUp\ called "init_tray.lnk" which will initialize the wifi/battery signal (pre-AKU2) or just wifi (post-AKU2) icons to live in the tray. Move or delete that file, and you should be rid of the tray altogether...

...until another application places an icon there.

I don't know about the battery icon (I just installed Rhino TodayPanel and it has a much better battery meter), but this is what I did for Comm Manager (and I got this info from other posts; don't remember if it was earlier in this thread, or in another one).

Use File Explorer to browse to \Windows\Startup and either delete or move the file "Init_Tray" (I just Cut/Paste it into \Windows\tl - the folder I created to keep all the shortcuts I use with TrayLaunch - so I could put it back later if I wanted to).

Then, Add an item in TrayLaunch with one of these paths:

\Windows\CommManager.exe

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Comm Manager.lnk

or, what I did, was to copy the shortcut to my \Windows\tl folder, renamed it to something shorter - commgr.lnk - and _then_ typed it into TL.

Now, the Comm Manager icon can be positioned like all the others.
