Options for a customized contact list I downloaded...

I downloaded this program that seems to be what I am wanting out of a contact list...
www(dot)freewarepp(dot)com(/)utilities(/)contactmanager(dot)shtml
(Sorry about typing the address like that, the spam filter wont let me post any other way)

What I want to know is how can I get the "Contacts" softkey to run this program instead of the Msoft Contact list?

I should say first... To run the new contact manager, you have to navigate to the directory it's stored at and double click the .exe. That is obviously not efficiant. I would like to replace the Contacts softkey, as that would be the best solution; if that is not possible, then how can I put my own icons on the Today screen, that would run this program?

One Problem I am having with it now that its comming up with the softkey is that it's no longer full screen so I am losing the top and bottom of the program, which is cutting off contacts and menu options. What am I doing wrong? I installed the .cab like a normal cab and let it go to the phone's memory.

Settings file:
There is an .ini file that you can create in the directory where the program reside. It contains color, font and image settings. See the setting.ini provided in the zip file.
Its no big deal, its in the: my device/program files/contact manager folder copy it to your desktop and open it with notepad. Make sure this line reads like this (its almost at the end):

#mostly useful for VGA Screen, do not go over screen height...
#contact_phone_list_height=300

That should solve your problems (assuming you are using a ppc6700/Apache).

Happy modding
