I use my phone mostly for TomTom mobile.
Does anyone know a way to get TomTom to run everytime i turn the phone on?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
You should have a file called "TomTom Mobile.lnk" (this is a shortcut file) in the directory "\Windows\Start Menu".
Copy it to the folder "\Windows\StartUp"
Next time you start your phone, the TomTom application will start automatically.
If you don't already have a shortcut file for TomTom, then use the MS Activesync explorer to find the "TomTom MOBILE.exe" file (e.g. \Storage Card\TOMTOM\TomTom MOBILE.exe). Right mouse click on this file and choose "create shortcut". Edit the shortcut name and then copy it to the "\Windows\StartUp" directory.

XDA I has only 32M RAM that is shared between application installation storage and program run time memory, a precious resource. Lots of applications don't offer the option of installing it to a different place, e.g. Storage Card\Program Files directory that I created. (To make the shortage worse, even if an application is installed on the SD card, there are dll's that the application installs to the Main Memory's Windows directory anyway.)
I can cut and paste to relocate / move the application directory from Main Memory to Storage Card brute force but it doesn't work well. I presume that the Registry contains links pointing to the application directory that I moved away, just like desktop Window versions. I guess I need a regedit program (Special Edition came with it) to fix the links in the Registry. Is that all? If I choose not to upgrade to the Special Edition, which program is best for this? Much appreciated!
Try the CABINSTL - this software enable to install anywhere Your programs, if You can find the installed applicaton's CAB file.

FYI if you use the cut & paste method you must recreate your links manually using a file explorer. But the best way go is to just reinstall your applications and select Storage card instead of Main memory.
Also under Add/Remove Programs un-check "Install programs into the default installation folder".
HTH
Thanks to both of you!
Using cabinstl. you have to create the directory,
\Storage Card\Program Files\app_dir_name as the destination directory. I first designated \Storage Card\Program Files as the destination and cabinstl hangs. Check the box "Associating .cab with cabinstl" is convenient so that you can copy/paste the .cab file to \Storage Car\tmp, say, using Windows Explorer, and double-click on the cab file on XDA I to start installation. With this tool, you can install any .cab nicely to \Storage Card\Program Files - so far it works with every .cab application installation file I use.

For other readers: it's the Add/Remove Programs from ActiveSync's Tool menu on the PC (vs XDA). For some applications, they give you an .exe installer for you to run on the PC to install it on XDA. Bring the Add/Remove Programs tool up, un-check it, and then double click on the .exe installer. Minor restriction: it always installs it at the top level of the Storage Card, not 100% desirable but serves the purpose of preserving Main Memory.
ActiveSync's Help for Add/Remove Program indicates that ActiveSync assumes that an application installer is in .exe form that runs on the connected PC and installs on the PC as well as XDA. I don't understand why it needs to install on the PC.
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!
Hi got tomtom mobile on this phone but only have the "south" great britain map. I have downloaded the Full GB map but after i've put it onto the memory card tomtom says "no maps found". What else do i have to do to get tomtom to see this map?
cheers
create a text file on your pc using notepad called “CurrentMap.dat”
Open the file & type
"& \Storage Card\Great_Britain-Map\"
or whatever the name of your main map folder is on your SD card. Do not forget to add the final backslash and a have a space between the ampersand and the first backslash.
Save the file as CurrentMap.dat. Make sure it doesn't end up as CurrentMap.dat.txt!
Put this file in the main memory of your PPC under “\My Documents\TomTom”.

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 .
I accidentally deleted the camera shortcut on my start menu and now it wont launch on sense home (the part where you can put your own short cuts).
How do I get the camera shortcut back on the start menu?
The camera.exe file is located in the windows folder on your device. There is a few ways you can get it back into your start menu but this would be my suggestion.
1: Navigate to the \windows folder on your device (either through active sync on your computer or through file explorer)
2: Locate camera.lnk file
3: Copy the camera.lnk shortcut to \windows\start menu\programs\
cool beans thanks!
