Pro: optional Command Line

Con: Default location can only handle x icons, thus Program Files\ needs to be added before adding massive shortcuts

Don't use the inbuilt file explorer to rename files. Use the freeware data manager total commander instead. 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).

For those of you who want to build the ICL (Icon Library) files themselves, this should work, it's freeware: http://eng.softq.org/icl_builder

Feature settings are the little programs that you use to change the settings for your Pocket PC, such as your password, sounds & reminders, memory, the PC Connection and other things.

Shortcuts to Feature Settings are very short plain text files with some text in them. First I'll explain the format of these text files then give an example.

nn#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,i,0<CR>

nn#

Replace the nn variable with the number representing the total size, in characters _including spaces_ in the line of text following the # (pound) sign.

ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,

This is the program to be executed. For feature settings, this will always be the same. Don't forget the comma; it is necessary to separate the command from its parameters.

i

Replace the i variable with the index number of the feature setting you wish to run (See *).

,0

This is the variable for the optional tab number to select. Numbering for tabs starts from the left at zero (0). The tab here is only necessary if you are specifying a tab number; otherwise it doesn't need to be specified. So you may omit this part of the text line entirely if it's not needed.

<CR>

This represents a carriage return. Instead of a true carriage return, today we depress the Enter key. (In other words, don't include the literal in your file.)

Some feature settings on some devices go via mycpl.cpl

ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,2 - backlight

ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,4 - microphone agc

ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,5 - battery status [ same as cplmain.cpl,3 ]

ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,7 - permanent save [ contacts, etc ]

ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,8 - device information

ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,9 - add ringtone

ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,10- autoconfig

ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,11- gprs suspend mode

ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,12- gprs authentication

ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,13- csd line type

Use an ASCII text editor to create *.lnk files. I used MobilePad, though now I'm using PHM PowerToys which includes notepad.exe (capable of reading/editing Unicode).

Example

Menu Settings;

52#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,11?\Windows\cplmain.cpl,-5150

or

45#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,11?shellres.dll,-13895

?

Everything after the ? is used to identify the target icon offset in ANOTHER dll/exe/cpl. Change the 0 to specify an offset.

* View *.dll files with icon_viewer.exe (attached below) unzip, COPY to Device (PocketPC) and run.

S-K-Tools delivers their old icon set in a dll.

Download here; http://s-k-tools.com/sktools/sktools_icons.zip

PHM.Pocket.PC.IconsLib.zip also contains an IconLib.dll :D

State of the Art embedded (exe/dll) iCON viewer; dotFred's Task Switcher _ though it's iconize function is only for its internal view..

Philippe Majerus developed some nice applications. Unfortunately his page [ www.phm.lu ] is down, though here on depositfiles you'll find a small *.zip with most of his *.cab files plus his former www pages. Remember most of his tools are from 2004. IMHO you will find Reset.exe and Suspend.exe from PHMPPCPowerToys.Rpr_ARM.CAB suberb!
