OK, I'm making slow but steady progress. I found where in the registry it is specified to run FVMPlus.exe when the text message arrives. It is:

Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Rules\ FVVM
Value:
Command
Value Data:
\Program Files\FVMPlus\FVMPlus.exe

Just to test this I changed the path contained in value data to another executable and then left myself a voicemail. Sure enough the other executable ran shortly thereafter. Something else interesting happened though. A few minutes later I received the specially formated text message that the Phone Fusion guy talked about. Before I changed the path in value data I never actually saw the text, everything just happened in the background, but after I changed the path, it showed up like a normal text message. So, it is clear that I still don't fully understand what is going on here.

What I'd like to do eventually is when this special text is received instead of running FVMPlus.exe, it would increment the unread message count registry entry. This would cause the voicemail notification to show up on the Today screen. Then, when the user clicks on the unread voicemail notification, instead of calling *86, it would run FVMPlus.exe and set the unread voicemail registry entry back to zero (causing the unread notification to go away on the Today screen). I still haven't figured out how I can change the action that happens when the unread voicemail notification is clicked though. I did figure out where in the registry the number to call upon clicking the unread voicemail notification is stored. It is:

Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Vmail
Value:
UserProvidedNumber1
Value Data:
*86

I would also like to prevent the specially formatted text message from popping up. Not quite sure on that one yet either.

One of my problems is that even after I figure out the interactions going on here, I'm not quite sure how I would go about implementing the changes. Can I write some sort of script to handle this? If my approach outlined in the above paragraph would work, it will probably have to be 2 scripts. I'm fairly proficient with C, Perl and Assembly for Microchip but I've never done any sort of programming for a WM device. I've heard about Mort Scripting from various threads but don't really know what it is or what it's used for.

Spetrillo, Herbal954, P-slim, Phone Fusion, anyone...Ideas, suggestions, comments, criticisms, etc? Thanks!
