Like Windows Media Player, Calculator, Internet Explore ...... I'm trying to put the Windows Media Player link into a Folder called Multimedia ect.

Just trying to cook a cleaner Start Menu.. Thanks.

If you are just trying to move things around, you need to change either the app.dat for that EXT or change the initflashfiles.dat (Located in OEM\Touch_Pro2\0409\OEM_Lang_0409) for packages that might be in the SYS. Some packages, ie Marketplace, will have a provxml that will determine where the Start Menu Link goes.

Here is an example if you trying to move Adobe from the Start Menu:

Quote:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("Adobe Reader LE.lnk","\Windows\Adobe Reader LE.lnk")

to a new folder called Multimedia:

Quote:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia"):-File("Adobe Reader LE.lnk","\Windows\Adobe Reader LE.lnk")

If you cook in an XDA_UC package, you can create an xml for each shortcut you want to move and drop it in your \Storage Card\XDA_UC folder. I do this so I can just cook with the default kitchen and other misc EXTs w/o having to modify all of the .dat files. I just cook, flash, let XDA UC do it's thing, and poof! All my icons are changed and put in the right spots.

Even if I decide to not cook in an app that I have an xml for, it doesn't prevent the rest of the icons from being moved because each shortcut has it's own xml file. If I add a new app, I just create one new xml file.

It's tedious the first round through, but it pays off in the future.

that is the worst part about flashing for me, moving all my icons around after. can you point me in the right direction to get and use XDA UC?

Hey Calkulin,

I'm having trouble using HDWall with this kitchen. Any reason why??

Here you go. There are only OEM packages available but you can convert it to an EXT package pretty easily.

It will add the taskbars but the Manila background won't change for some reason.

Are you using the newest version (.28 I think)? I use hdwalls with no issues, but you do have to configure it for the specific manila/sense that you're using.

That must be it...I'm on 0.27b which doesn't have CFC for Manila 2.5. DO you have a copy of the newest version you can zip and upload for me??

I get off work in 1 hour, I'll do it as soon as I get home if you can wait that long.
