Shortcut to Games folder on new start menu?

[junkzm3]

If you need a quick solution you can do the same thing I did for the games folder lnk:
Create a file with this in it:
21#:MSFEXPLORE \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office Mobile
and name it Office Mobile.lnk or something

Put that in \Windows\Start Menu\

But, I'm guessing you want to see that TF3D folder menu

ok...

The link file (for example excel mobile.lnk) contain the following string: 21#:MSPXL
The link file (for example word mobile.lnk) contain the following string: 21#:MSPWORD


so you see where we are going here.

The registry entry for #11 (Office Mobile)
DispName: Office Mobile
IconPath:
IsReadOnly:0
Path:\Windows\Start Menu\Office Mobile


I changed out the "0" folder (normally home) with the information that is normally in 11 & insured that the Office folder was in \Windows\Start Menu, performed a soft reset & I now have my office folder back


After lunch I'm going to try and make other folders. I have added the office folder to this post for anyone that has lost it.

These forums are AWESOME! Thanks! Let me know how it goes with other shortcuts to folders.

Hopefully this is a tip someone can use...

k...Here is how you create your own shortcut folders in Manila...

Create a folder under windows/start menu/programs. Name it whatever you want.
move program links from the programs folder into that folder using activesync

Now go under HLKM\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA\PROGRAMLAUNCHER\

chose a program position (they are labeled by number) & open it. Modify the following values (I will use "Utilities" as my example):
DispName: Utilities
IconPath: this is up to you, I leave it blank, but you can link to an icon in the folder you create)
IsReadOnly:0
Path:\Windows\Start Menu\Utilities



Now you may be saying what? The paths do not match between where you placed the folder & the path in the registry... You are right; apparently it assumes the path is: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Utilities.
So you just need to put in \Windows\Start Menu\Utilities

I hope this helps anyone looking to create folder links easily under manila

Can you make an ink folder for Office Mobile like you did for the Game Folder. I am seeing the individual Office files in the all programs menu but i cannot select the actual Office Mobile folder to add to the Start menu list like it was before i accidentally removed it.

Ok followed your instructions up above this post and that worked, only thing now is that i have duplicates of the excel, word apps in the all program menu. I know this is due to the folder already being in the windows/start menu folder. Thanks

Delete the Office mobile(1)folder under the programs menu
