Assign Right Softkey to Start/Programs

Is it possible to assign the right softkey to the programs menu located after you click start-> programs?

Re: Assign Right Softkey to Start/Programs

Yes it is.

Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.


HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeRSKPath: \Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe
HomeRSKText: iContact

Thanks but,

I actually want to change it to the "Programs menu" not to a program in the menu.

I don't think that modification has been figured out yet, but I know they are working on it.. the ability to change softkeys in tabs other than home tab

I actually mean on the home tab. I mean I want the right softkey to open "Programs" under C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

I use Advanced Config to change the softkey regular. I just don't know the code to reference to...

Re: Assign Right Softkey to Start/Programs

Ah... I get it. You want the key to open the programs folder. I'm thinking that doesn't work because you need a 'viewer" for the folder. You might could create a link to the folder using total commander then set your path to that link. Not sure if that would work.

yeah, no, I tried creating a link and that won't open with out a file explorer already open... (IE softkey...) hmm

Re: Assign Right Softkey to Start/Programs

Put this file (unzipped) in your windows directory, and then link the soft key to it using advanced config. This will do what you want.
