Help: Installed ballistics program: not in menu.
 
OK, a dude over at the M4CARBINE.net created a great balistics calculator that I enjoyed on my old 6800, so I installed it in the Imagio. To get to it, I have to browse to where the folder is on my mem card and click the .exe. I have Bobile Shell 3.5.2 and wish to shortcut it to one of the main windows, but since this does not invoke the add/remove programs part of Windows, it is not able to found in the "add widget" menus.

Is there any way to manually edit the registry to get this .exe to show up in the programs list of windows so that the SPB shell can find it?

By the way, in case any of you Windows Mobile touch screen guys wish to use this AWESOM balistic calculator, you can click this link:
http://ballcalc.sourceforge.net/

And I'll attach the most recent copy.
Attached is version 1.8

Create a shortcut of the .exe file and place it in your Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder and that's it :P

That sure sounds easy enough, now...... how is it that I am to create this shortcut? I've never seen a way to creat a shortcut on a Win-Mob phone? I have a reg editer, but I don't think can creat one. Do I do it from my PC with the USB cord?

Sorry, I must be an idiot. Not really.... but compared some of you all... it seems like it every now and again!

I used the computer and hooked the Imagio as an external drive. I right clicked and created a shortcut. I disconnected and tried to use the Imagio's file explorer to copy the shortcut and paste to the new location, but the paste option does not come up once I travel to the Windows\start menu\programs location.

Can you throw me a life preserver... I'm drowning over here!

Open File explorer on your imagio, go to the folder where the exe is located and tap and hold the file a menu will open click copy, navigate to windows/start menu and click menu, then edit, then paste shortcut. thats it

Thank you! That got it! I tried a few ways but did not figiure it out on my own. Now I have my Balistics Calc right there, just a finger press away! I'm happy!

Veritech and Keith,

O.O

I have to email him. Some things are not working with the keyboard. You can not adjust the table range from the default 1000 yards and you can not adjust the table increments. It ignores the keyboard.

I was setting up with standard .223 55grain 2340 FPS at the muzzle. I wanted to set the chart for 25 yard increments from 0 to 600 yards.
