"Settings" button gone from "Start" page

pelermon · #1 (**permalink**) 10-09-2009, 02:31 PM

I noticed my "Settings" button was inadvertently removed while in my pocket (It was the first button on the page) on my Start page.
I can not locate the "Setting" in the "All Programs"page to re-select it.
Any Idea how to get it back?
I have looked everywhere I can think of, to reinstall it on the button.
I know I have the "Setting" on the scroll buttons on the bottom of the Home page, but I would like it on the Start page as well.

By the way - ---
That microwaved Smilies option is very disturbing if you ask me.

Its like sticking a screw drive in one of their eyes.
Lets grow up.

you can put it back by editing the registry or a hard reset...i dont have it on my start page anymore but someone who does can read the registry info and you can use that to beat a hard reset.

Here is what I have for the settings icon:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLaun cher\3]
"Command"="--switchtopage Manila://settings.page"
"Path"="\Windows\manila.exe"
"IsReadOnly"=dword:00000001
"IconPath"="\windows\HTC\Assets\Images\programlaun cher\Program_icon\settings_88.qtc"
"DispName"="[[IDS_SETTINGSTITLE]]"

Note though that my Settings icon is the 4th in the list and not the first like you said yours was. This is determined by number at the end of the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLaun cher\3]. The number at the end, in this case 3, denotes the placement of the icon on the Start menu....0 is the first icon btw.

If your Settings icon was truly your first icon you'll want to edit the "0" ProgramLauncher registry key and not the "3" key, and add what I've shown above e.g.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLaun cher\0]
"Command"="--switchtopage Manila://settings.page"
"Path"="\Windows\manila.exe"
"IsReadOnly"=dword:00000001
"IconPath"="\windows\HTC\Assets\Images\programlaun cher\Program_icon\settings_88.qtc"
"DispName"="[[IDS_SETTINGSTITLE]]"

Hope this makes sense.

I believe there is a cab to restore the "standard" buttons on the start page- check in the stickied cleanup thread here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...05&postcount=2
