felt composed to reply because of the frustration i had looking for camera parameters:

camera - photo mode

\windows\camera.exe -i

-i =photo mode

-v =video mode

-p =contact photo mode

-m =mms video mode

how do u find these? are they in the registry somewhere?

and would anyone happen to know if 'pictures & videos' can be pointed to display vids first (as opposed to 'my pictures')

1. Can I assign a simple xyz.ico to the shortcut?

2. how to make icon.dll? Can you suggest any tools for that?

Anyone know the param for opening a specific email account?

The default it's set to is: Windows\tmail.exe "ActiveSync"

But can't figure what to put, to make it go directly to my gmail account.

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Maknificent:
I guess it would be whatever you named the account
[Windows Mobile Software Development] steb0ne:
LOL. Yeah, you're right. I forgot to reset after I changed it.

It was:

Windows\tmail.exe "Gmail"

Easy enough, thanks anyway

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Maggy:
Good questions. I don't know the answer to 1, it wouldn't harm to try and then tell us

2. simply use reshacker to replace icons from one dll to the icons of your choice, rename it to have the old and new set availble
[Windows Mobile Software Development] petervbeck:
dll and Ico-Files

1. yes you can, it's the same behaviour as dll-files.

2. i think to create dll you have to use visual studio, not sure. (ok, this is already answered by Maggy.... :))

but you can save multiple icons into one ico-file. for saving ico-files. Microangelo is an easy to use tool to create icons, icon libraries etc....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] c_shekhar:
@maggy

@petervbeck

thanks a lot. I shall try and post results here...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] c_shekhar:
No it does not work. I am making shortcut as follows:-

70#"\Program Files\FTouchFlo\FTouchFlo.exe"?xyz.ico

It does not work..Where am I going wrong..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] _TB_TB_:
ONLY DLL files can be used for link icons...

To make your own you need to get your hands on any icons-only file (PHMIcons32.dll or sth) and edit it with freeware Resource Hacker.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rajatthakran:
can there be a link for call log?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] petervbeck:
mkey, sorry for confusion, you're totally right...i was 100% sure it's also working with ico's... sorry for the wrong infos.... :rolleyes:

but you can use icl-files (icon libraries) - the work the same way as dlls..... think i did mistake it with ico...

I don't know a shortcut link, but you can easy access the call log this way:

Hit the green button to pull up the phone screen. Then hit the d-pad up or right for call history, down or left for speed dials.

In another thread they are telling to use mortscript for this action...don't know, never tried....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] perasite:
Vijay wrote a program on his site, vijay555.com, that opens the call log.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Maggy:
70# is wrong, it should be 47 if I'm still counting correctly

The number stands for the number of characters of the string following the #, not counting spaces
[Windows Mobile Software Development] c_shekhar:
Ideally you are right @maggy. But it does not matter as long as the 70# is more than the actual character count.

As later stated by @petervbeck the ico cannot be linked to the shortcut. I also had same hunch.

thanks any way to both of you...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] petervbeck:
sorry, now i tried again with icl (icon libraries) - these files work the same way as dll..... sorry for the confusion :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] c_shekhar:
.ico

Thanks for additional info. But, definitely the .ico cannot be assigned...regards.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] colonel00:
What you will probably need to do is to find a .dll with images in it. Perhaps ShellRes.dll or something. Now, replace the images/icons in the dll and save the dll as a different name. Then you can create a shortcut that references that dll and icon within it.

Voicmail .lnk

what would be the lnk for direct dialing voicemail? This is what I have

20#"\Windows\cprog.exe"-url tel:0000000000

where 0's = my number.

Pressing the link brings up a "Verify the number is correct:" windows where I can press call from there and it goes through, but would be much nicer if it just dialed from the .lnk.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] perasite:

thx in advance
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dan1967:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] bbobeckyj:
easier to use VJPhoneTools for the shortcut for new mail etc

and VJKeyPress for the "call" button

if you want to do it yourself: create a shortcut to tmail.exe, select the properties of that link, then shortcut location and add

-service "Yahoo!" -to ""

Where Yahoo! is the name of your mail

The process may be slightly different on your explorer (i use GSFinder+)

so you will end up with

Windows\tmail.exe" -service "Yahoo!" -to ""

I believe that the case is important for the account name but I'm not sure
[Windows Mobile Software Development] FlaTEriC18041983:

Java app links

:)

I found and thought to share with all of you this useful links to directly open java applications. e.g. this is the lnk to OperaMini:

The parameter to start Opera Mini directly is (if it is your first Java app): -run s0_.

So:

1. Open a text-editor and put in this text: 28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_

2. Rename the text-file to "OperaMini".lnk (or Internet.lnk or what you like, but it must be an .lnk file)

3. Save the file on your device in the programm folder

4. Choose this link in the application, you want to start Opera Mini from (for example HTC Home).

To start Opera directly from the cube, do the following:

Open a registry editor and go to: HKLM-Software-HTC-Biotouch-APLaucher-App4 (or which button you want)

Change the following keys to:

"Param": -run s0_

"Path": \Windows\Jbed.exe

"Name": What you like, for example "Opera" or "Internet", ...

All done

Ciao
[Windows Mobile Software Development] profahmad:
What is the significance of the initial number in these links? The 'New SMS' link you provided has a 20 [20#"\windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to ""] while another I found in another thread uses 49. They both work perfectly.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] @dom@:
Hi dude

it is the length of the command placed in shortcut, however look here for more elucidation!!

I add that in some application shortcuts you don't need the exact number count (i don't know why, too) to fine work!!

Ciao

Brightness

...mmhh, I don't know this too!!

I think that there is some other parameter to add to the default option shortcut ( Settings>System>Backlight>Brightness = 20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,6 ....)!!

...Maybe this app can help you, rk-bk-Light a backlight command line switcher, however i don't well know it because i'm using the WkTask brightness function:

Can someone let me know how to do what i am trying to do

i have SPB pocket plus and i am trying to make a bluetooth and memory icon

i see you guys posted all the file shortcuts but how would i use one

when i goto notepad on my ppc or home pc what do i put in it can you give me

a small step my step please thanks alot.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bbobeckyj:
you don't need spb to make shortcuts, but you can't make icons without it.

spb has it's own shortcut system, i can't remember very well because i don't use it anymore, but tap&hold on the screen and follow the options to add an item
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mrdroid921:

to have the file path or make the shortcut first and i don't know how to do

[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
I think this should do.

Which particular "Bluetooth" and "memory" items do you want links to?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Timmay!!!:
You are the man!!! Thanks alot! Timmay!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
Thanks!

I've just made a little utility (two actually) that creates LNK files from two inputs. You put in the place it links to e.g. #\Windows\cprog.exe and a name for the shortcut and it'll create the shortcut.

The only differences are LNK Creator will create one link at a time, LNK Creator V2.1 will create 18 shortcuts at a time, and has the ability to save the created shortcuts to a list.

These programs are shared "As-Is" with no express or implied warranty. You may damage your device, and I cannot be held responisble.

Notes:

V2.1 will crash if no shortcuts.txt file exists

Labels in both versions (Link name and Link location) are in the wrong place.)

Links:

Using the above tool, I have created links for all the "settings" listed here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1626158&postcount=2

They are attached in the "settings shortcuts.zip" below.

I want a lnk to bluetooth like to turn it on and off and for memory i want a link

to show memory being used on the SD card or main memory
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
In the "Settings Shortcuts" above, there will be a memory settings *.lnk. I'll need to work out the bluetooth one. I think this: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJBlueSync may achieve what you want though...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mrdroid921:
Would you mind telling me how to make the memory one step by step please

i am new to this and new to windows mobile so help would be nice thanks alot.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
Well... I don't know exactly how to get the location, but the second post of the thread contains most of the settings links you will need.

I used the app I wrote that is posted earlier, but the same can be achieved by creating a Shortcutname.txt file containing the location of the file to be opened, and then renaming it to shortcutname.lnk.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] irus:
do you want main or the storage card to pop up when you click on the .lnk
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pizzaguy:
does anyone know if you can create separate lnk files for Sound On/Vibrate/Sound Off?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
I think it is possible I just have no idea what command line arguments you'd need, or what executable for that matter...

If it weren't 12:30 at night I'd try and work out how to write an app that does that... Maybe tomorrow!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gullum:
http://www.vijay555.com/ he has some tools that are verry small and let to make shortcuts to lots of options. like bluetooth on of toggle but wifi only works on wm5

I have an app called setvolume that lets you make shortcut to mute viberate

[ATTACH]80311._xfImport[/ATTACH]

just run it on your phone and it will show what shortcuts can be made

but be aware that setting shortcut to -1 to -5 might give problems with only hearing sound on channel on hetset.

to make shortcut

(#"\where you placed setvolume\setvolum.exe" -v) sets the phone to vibrate -m is mute -o is sound on
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pizzaguy:
:D THANKS! Works like a charm!

Ok so i open up notepad put in the name bluetooth.ink then?

With the file name in wrote in there? and then do i save it any place special

i really dont understand thats why i am asking can you tell me how to do it

step by step i do have the file from the first page now i just need to know how

to make the shortcut
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
You have to save it as *.LNK not ink (caps is not important, it just has to have an "L" at the beginning)

You need to open the file in notepad, and have a single line of text with the location of the link. Save it anywhere, and then copy it across to the device.

Or, you can use this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2102312&postcount=117

In that post, there is a download for all the lnks in the second post.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mrdroid921:

in the notepad for bluetooth named it bluetooth.lnk synced the phone and

put it on the phone and when i open it on the phone it opens the notepad on

the phone, what am i doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
Make sure it is named "bluetooth.lnk" and not "bluetooth.lnk.txt"
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
Here are two shortcuts to the bluetooth settings.

Open up notepad, and drag the files into it to see what they contain.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mrdroid921:
Ok so lets start from the the start i open notepad on my pc say i want to

enter the bluetooth lnk what do i put in the notepad? and then what do i do?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
In the notepad, put

21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,23

Then go to "file->Save as"

save it as filename.lnk and as "All Files"

Hi everyone,

Im looking for a shortcut to toggle WIFI on/off and a bluetooth one plz!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
I'd check out vijay555s programs (vijay555.com) and see if one of them does what you need. i can't remeber off the top of my head but i think it should be possible.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bbobeckyj:
there are NO executable links inherent in ppc to do this, however, look @ my signature.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bbobeckyj:
I think you & everyone else in this thread is making this much more difficult than it needs to be.

1-Don't use the inbuilt file explorer. use gsfinder (my favourite, and vijay's recommendation on his site) or total commander (for some reason this is popular, I've no idea why, it seemed cr:eek:p when i tried it). The inbuilt file explorer can't edit links or show file extensions - if you try to rename something to xxx.LNK, it reallly is 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
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
A way of switching the bluetooth/any communications would be to use VJVolubilis: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis

The problem is, you can't make a link to the control panel easily in TotalCommander.

The inbuilt file explorer can make lnks, it just can't edit them.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bbobeckyj:
copy & paste a link to your file explorer.

open the properties of that new link, add

-start menu\programs

to the end of the link location
