There is a cab that brings back the programs tab like on the TP1. You'll need to do a search, but I think it's in the stickied thread, "Touch Pro 2 Tweaks, Hacks,..."

There is also a way to configure the "Home" hard key to go to the Programs tab once you install the cab, but you need "KeyBoard Configuration", which should also be in the aforementioned thread. Otherwise, once you install the programs tab, your "Home" key will open the drop-down start menu.

So look for "HTC Programs Tab" to get the Programs tab, then get "Keyboard Configuration" to remap your hard key. If I get a chance to later I'll upload both cabs plus the way to configure your hard key.
