I tried to do this, however when changing file attributes I uncheck "READ ONLY" and "SYSTEM". Though when I go to delete the file, it still wont' delete. I check attributes, and they are back to what they were originally. I notice "in ROM" is checked, but grayed out.

Don't I have to unlock the ROM memory to do this?

Actually, I couldn't care less about the CAMERA application, as HTC_Camera is in there and works. The problem, HTC_Camera isn't recognized as installed by the phone, therefore it won't let me redirect the Camera button to the appropriate program. Is there another way to do this?

I'd rather not re-cook my phone as I FINALLY (after a million recipes and lots of hours of tweaking, finally have it working the way I want).

Here is something else to try. Use your registry editor and rename camera.exe in windows to camera.bak. Then paste a shortcut to the Windows Start Menu folder for HTC_Camera. Soft reset and then you should be able to remap the hardware camera button to HTC_Camera.

Do you mean that we edit the registry or just use a file editor to change the exe file and remap the camera button to the HTC Camera? I'm not familiar with the registry.

If you are referring to post #12, his language suggests that he is just talking about making adjustments using file explorer.

The sugestion was in essence to hide the camera.exe file, but that is not required to remap the button.

I see... thank you for your clarification there. =]

I have tried to copy the HTCCamera file to the Windows Start Menu so that I can map the camera button to that file. I am unable to paste the file into the start menu because of permission issues. How can I get permission to copy the file into this directory?

Does pasting a shortcut work?

Humm...

I couldn't paste the file using the file manager on the Titan but when I used Windows explorer on my PC it let me paste the shortcut. The camera works fine now. Thank you all for your help. My next problem is that The XV6800 will not form a partnership in Active Sync. My old xv6700 has no problem. Is there a fix? Also, I cannot find a 'help' with this forum. I can't figure out how to reread posts that were "notifications" to me. They just seem to disappear. How do I send a private message? I'm new to this and I don't know how to use the forum. Where can I learn? Thanks again
