Change softbuttons to eliminate Calendar

[fluidj]

And add a NEW link.
Don't know how to describe this properly. But on my 6700, i recall that I had a hack that allowed me to modify the Calendar and Contacts softkeys at the bottom of the screen. I had it modified to a "New" button which when pressed I could start a New Text Message, New Appointment, New Email, etc..
Anyone know what i'm talking about?
I'd do a search, but I don't know how to even phrase the search term.
Thanks.

the phrase is soft key

23-Changing SoftKeys
Create the following keys and Strings in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3
112 is the left key and 113 is the right.
Set Default to what you want the key to read (ie. SMS)
Now for each key create a new string named Open and set the target path.

I believe there's another way to do it, but that's the way I use

That program is called WM5NewMenu. I am pretty sure it works in WM6.
