Thanks ultrashot for sharing but how do I use it? I've extracted it to my device. Nothing happens when clicking on the file name.
Thanks

It exits immediately. If your HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo key was changed somehow (without soft-reset), then you will notice start menu icons changes

screenshot pls?

Screenshot of what? this app exits immediately right after sending a signal "refresh start menu" to shell. No interface at all.

They are set on 'Agenda' and 'Contacts'. IN some roms there is a 'new' button which shows a nice list with email, task, sms etc etc
1. is it possible to assign another function to those 2 buttons (left and right above dialpad)
2. is that 'new' menu available as a .cab?

ResHacker or Restorator
By Reshacker i can't change because after change I can't start application because there is no digital certificate. How to change by restorator??
When editing with both ResHacker and Restorator you need to digitally sign this modified exe/dll file.
If you are using one of my ROMs, you just need to sign it by attached utlity. But if you are using any another roms, you need to install Windows Mobile 6 SDK certificates and then sign your file by attached app.
To sign your files just launch this application and select a folder where these files located, and click OK.
Big thanks for You Erofich. It's working perfect.

How did you change the folder icon? When I open reshacker, it opens up the folder and show what is in that folder. Am I looking at the wrong place?
P.S. I'm on windows mobile standard and not a PPC, I came to here after I did a search.
take an Office Mobile folder for example, do you see icon.lnk here (its hidden)? that's it, open it with Notepad and change path to icon

How to make custom icons and folder icons ?

Can anyone teach me how to make custom made folder icons just like garmin did and the other cookers out there? thanks ^_^
you need a tool like "reshacker" to change the resources of IconRes.dll (file wherein the folder icon stored)

how to do it,brother? tell me step by step please.
- download the reshacker Here!
- extract RESOURCE_HACKER.zip in any folder you like.
- get the IconRes.dll from your \device\windows folder
- go to folder wherein you extracted reshacker. run reshacker.exe
- open IconRes.dll, you will see a "tree map" on the left side panel. click the folder named "icon" then select the icon you wish to change. after that, click "Action" from pull down menu then "replace icon". as easy as that....
- dont forget to save your work and bring it back again to \device\windows folder.

ShellRes.dll or IconRes.dll

ShellRes.dll or IconRes.dll
Click to expand...

Again please!
ShellRes.dll is as same as ShellRes.dll0409mui isn't it?
It seems that is impossible to copy the Shellres.dll from windows folder to the pc. Using totalcommander it doesn't allow me to copy it to anywhere.
Any ideas?
(running stock wm6)
I don't see why anyone should go to all this trouble. All you need to do to change a folder's icon is to create an icon.lnk file (make it hidden so it doesn't show up) and change the shortcut to whatever path your icon is located. For example, \windows\niceicon.ico or \my documents\myshellres.dll -654
Hacking of course does make a nice hobby

Long Press End Key

All -
Can anyone please help with with remapping the long-press-end-key on my HD2?
I tried various searches on the forum, followed various instructions like Long_end.lnk etc. Nothing worked. I don't want to install a 3rd party app. I would prefer a registry edit, or a cab file install which can help me remap the key to a specific program.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS > Right now the long press of the end key is mapped to the quick menu with 4 options.
These kind of .cabs usually do the same as editing the registry yourself.
Look for Dutty's Task Manager.

Create a shortcut to the .exe you want to run. Rename it to 'EndKeyLNK' and copy it and the extracted 'EndKey.exe' attached below to the windows folder. Now long pressing end key will launch the exe. I did not create this i found it though i cant remember who did create it.
I use it to launch xdashutdown with no problems

Thanks buddy ... that was awesome ...
However, After doing that, when I press Long_end button, it tells me that the app cannot be run as it is unsigned or a component cannot be found. Weird.
How did you overcome that error with XDAShutdown app. I'm trying to use the Slide2Shutdown app.
Thanks

i had no problem at all with xda shutdown. Check that the shortcut you created is renamed properly and that it indeed works by manually clicking on it.
It needs to be EndKeyLNK.lnk

hi, its vjay555 who made this cute piece of software. the program is called vjbrisk.
works perfect thank you for the tip.

Did you get it working Govindar77 ?
I just instaled it and it works great with xdasutdown too!!!!
nice
just remember to backup the original EndKey file
Thanks
All who helped and replied to this thread -
Thanks a bundle guys. I was able to get it working.
Made a cab, which can be installed, and pulls up Slide2Shutdown on long-press-end key.
Awesome .... me so happy ..
Anyone need the cab, just holla here, and I'll post it.
hello,iam trying to give a second option to the hardware key i dont know how to do it, i just install the cab endkey.exe but iam lost , can you orient me ?
I found this thread as I was going to try to get my old X1's Smaberg's actionscreen working with the off button (worked fine with the HD and the X1, not the HD2), then I found he'd got it working already.
It may be of interest to some of you, more options than xdashutdown.

Hey buddy,
If you're still interested - basically what you gotta do is copy the endkey.exe to the Windows folder, and then create a shortcut of the program, and rename it as endkeylnk.lnk and copy that to the Windows folder as well.
I just integrated all the steps and made a cab file (I also happen to have the exe file for Slide2Shutdown). So nothing needs to be done manually. Just install the cab, and voila ... long-press-end-key runs the Slide2Shutdown program.

Too many choices, buddy. I tried it and went away from it. I also have cabs for the BT toggle, Lock Device, Send Rec All, etc. So I just install the ones I need.

Great!! I was looking for something like this a while ago. Didn't found anything so I created my own work-around. I came up with this. Although the above solution is more simple, my solution has the advantage that you can add mortscript code in it.
Just copy the new exe over
Thanks to the contributions to this thread I was able to change the long press end key behavior...
Only I was so lazy that I didn't want to create a shortcut file and copy further files. So I only copied the original exe over the EndKey.exe using Total Commander.
And it worked immediately without soft-reset.
Given the old file is in ROM I suspect I just have to delete the copy to recover the previous one!
Thanks again because I tried the long_end.lnk and the registry 40C7 key modifications without any success.
Can you help me!! Set Long_Endkey for Smartlock (Lockscreen)! thank you!! plz!

Follow the instructions in post number 5. to create a shortcut (incase you didn't know) you long press on a file and then copy and at the destination long press in empty space and then paste shortcut. You need to find the .exe or link that launches smart lock. Create a shortcut to it and rename this shortcut to EndKeyLNK and copy it and the file contained in the zip attached to post #5 into the windows directory

.reg is in first zip i already verify it! In all .zip there are a .reg!
So install the cab, apply the .reg for HTC Messaging client,
replace mui and then apply second registry (named activation of secure box)
to apply a .reg use resco explorer (with addon resco registry)
