HTCSettings.exe .. what am I missing?

[apristel]

I'm trying to make a shortcut that goes directly to the windows settings versus the settings tab in manila. I thought I had to link to htcsettings.exe.. so my rom didn't have that, I found one and it works but it looks all messed up.

Any of you gurus out there know what I am doing wrong? Or just a solution?

Thanks.

if you are using a 6.5 rom...
look in the registry at HKLM\Security\Shell|Startinfo\HideSettings...make sure this is at 0 and the setting link will appear in the start menu that directs you to windows settings

I quit asking this question aging ago. How the people know the things they know here literally amazes me. I just sum it up to "they're geniuses"

lol thanks guys, MightyMike actually helped me out and I forgot about this thread.

One question that is still lingering, now that I've done the registry edits, I have 2 settings links in the start menu..

How the heck can I ditch the one that is for the manila tab settings shortcut?

I don't think you can. I may be wrong, but that's cooked into the ROM & if you delete it I think it will probably come back again.......

I just deleted the orig settings from my start menu, I'll see if it stays deleted or not..........

[jdmsleepr]

it should stay deleted!!

Well, maybe I'm wrong.

I unhid the Windows settings & then deleted the original settings shortcut from the Windows start menu using ActiveSync.

I have restarted it three times & it's still gone......
