Is there a way to get the Programs tab back?

Tried searching this to no avail. In Manila 2D, you had a program tab at the end of the slider bar, replaced on the TP2 by the start menu. After a year using Manila 2D, my thumb instinctively wants to slide down to the program tab, then when I see settings instead, I remember to push the start button. I'd really like that tab back, it's second nature to me.

Registry hack? Cab?

Try this cab found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment...3&d=1253757794

It will return the regular start menu and return the programs tab back into TF3D

Awesome! Now maybe I can remap start to something useful, like cycle bluetooth.

Thank you my friend! I have searched for this all over the place. I have started threads on this, and have never found anything. I had come to the conclusion that it took extensive file editing that no one wanted to do.

Thanks for sharing it, and thanks to Dharvey for doing it.......made my day!!
