Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys

[Wideawake]

Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys:

To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx

Whats the default for the right softkey. I can't find the exe file for contacts

If you want the default, I think you can just delete the entire entry, and WM will recreate it for you.

Use a utility like MemMaid. A Trial version is available from Handango or Pocketgear. Configure those soft keys in MemMaid, then view the registry keys to see what you got.

spb shell will also map soft keys

Don't mean to hijack....
How would remove the soft keys all together to gain more screen space?

found this little app on xda that makes it real easy:

remaps to a selectable list, then you can reword what shows up via the registry keys above, if you like.
