Hi
For apparantly no reason the default WM2003 Calculator Application has stopped working. The shortcut is still there but its lost the icon. When i click it, it says the application is not in the target location...
Can anyone help?? :/
Hi,
the shortcut should resove to calc.exe, find this file in your windows folder using file explorer. Tap and hold and choose copy.
Navigate to Windows\start menu\programs and tap and hold again, this time choose paste shortcut. You should have it working then.
Cheers
thanks that sorted it!
Anybody know how to remap the hardware buttons on the Qtek 8500 with either software or registry hacks??? Want to replace the Voice Tag ESPECIALLY - that just drives me nuts!!
AND, I'd like to replace the music player buttons on the front to answer with speaker phone if possible.
I'd be interested in finding out the information for changing the voice tags buttons also.
4 Files
This is to remap the two hardware buttons on each side of the screen...
These files exist in the \Windows directory. Create a file with these exact names, and have the contents of the file be a shortcut command.
SHORT_POC
LONG_POC
SHORT_CAMERA
LONG_CAMERA
Make sure that you unlock all the security settings in the phone. I don't remember the exact keys, but I know its a registry hack to allow modifying system files. You'll get an error about the file being read only if you don't do this.
FWIW, I replaced three of mine
LONG_CAMERA
42#:MSSYNCAPP?:syncapp = ActiveSync
SHORT_POC
19#\Windows\iexplore.exe = Internet Explorer
LONG_POC
19#:MSINBOX?:mailapp = Inbox
I left the camera button in place.
Perfect! Thanks for the information!
FYI, for those of you having trouble creating these shortcuts, this is how I do it. Create a new text file (using Notepad) with just the one line link you want (e.g. 19#\Windows\iexplore.exe). Save the file as SHORT_POC.LNK (or SHORT_CAMERA.LNK or LONG_POC.LNK or LONG_CAMERA.LNK) and then move it into the \Windows folder of your mobile phone. Once you rename the file to .lnk I don't think you'll be able to edit it anymore. And also, in order to make sure the file ends up as SHORT_POC.LNK and not SHORT_POC.LNK.txt, you must have "Hide extensions of known file types" unchecked in Folder View options (in Windows Explorer).
I know this post was a little unclear, so please don't hesitate to ask questions if you are still unsure how to do it.
OK, some Confusion here. I am using a Qtek 8500 with Qtek rom. Only the Short_camera shortcut is there. I have remapped that successfully. Where are the other shortcuts, or are they only present for a different rom? Are we talking about the same phone here ?
Just tried on my Qtek 8500, and although Short_POC.lnk is not in the Windows directory, if you create the shortcut it works a treat. Now this solved how do we get our bluetooth headsets to launch something else other than crappy Voice Dial? - Sadly changing Short_POC.lnk doesn't change this (was hoping they were related)
Thanks!
I got the Short_POC.lnk remap to work, but it only works when the clamshell is open. Is there any way to remap any of the external buttons so that it works when the phone is closed?
may be a stupid question, but Short_POC.lnk points to the voice recorder button, correct?

Help with MS Voice Command
Creating a "SHORT_POC.LNK" file to work a program within the windows dir is fine but, I'm having a problem scripting for MS Voice Command.
I've tried using it's exe within Program Files and even created a shortcut inside Windows dir. Could someone please end my confusion?
TIA
Bringing this thread back from the dead,
I would like to ask a question:
How exactly should I edit the LNK file in order for the voice dial button
to launch Bluetooth settings?
I mean, I know HOW to edit etc, but what the command should be?
Thank you in advance!
Hi all,
I have installed some programs on my SD Card that i use regularly. I have manually created all the shortcuts in a separate directory. Now each time i flash a rom i need to copy these shortcuts to programs directory.
Is there any way or program that can place them automatically to the destination directory such as batch file in windows
copy <source> <destination>
I have no idea about mortscript may be it is possible with that.
Thanks
Found this with the help of mortscript
xcopy("\Storage Card\!MyApps\Games\!Links\*.lnk","\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games")

Use Resco explorer or I think total commander can also do the thing easily .
Hi I am new here.
I have downloaded some new applications that I used to have on my old xda wm device, and although I can open them via file explorer, these particular files are not coming up in the start menu, and also (probably connected) I cannot link them to the quick link tabs. Is there any simple reason for this?
Go to the File Explorer, Windows directory and copy '(app name).exe' as a shortcut and paste in Windows\Start Menu.
After this you can put them on quick link tabs.
Hello guys! The dev just released a new version with a new feature called Shortcuts.
Now, with that and using this shortcut creator, I want to make a shortcut to certain folders in my SD card (e.g. dropbox, download, etc).
Is that possible?
IDK which file manager you use, but with Astro File Manager, you have always been able to do that. Just long press screen, add shortcut, select astro, and long press the folder you want to add.
