ok go into your registry and check in the manila directoy for the following key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLaun cher\0]
"DispName"="[[IDS_HOMETITLE]]"
"IconPath"="\\windows\\HTC\\Assets\\Images\\progra mlauncher\\Program_icon\\home_88.qtc"
"IsReadOnly"=dword:0
"Path"="\\Windows\\manila.exe"
"Command"="--switchtopage Manila://home.page"

If it isnt in there...put it in there.

launch your reg editor or choice...open up hk local machine...go to software...then to htc...then select manila...then program launcher. from there you will see a bunch of folders listed 0-??? open up 0...verify the contents of that folder with the information i previously provided. if you dont have a regeditor im sure there is one around here you can find for free.

it worked!!!! it worked!!!! thanks sooo much! ok, another question, is there any way to change the appearance of it? right now mine is the pic of a flip clock and is displaying 10:23...that is cool if i have to keep it but can it at least have the correct date/time? sorry...i know beggars cant be choosers but i already acknowledged that ocd thing!

I dont think you can change the icon without changing the qtc file. something i have yet to do. I do know you can change the icons for other apps and such that you put in there as i have done that several times.
