6.1 start menu

In all honesty, if this were possible, there would already be solutions here or on XDA.

The thing is, this does already happen. As someone mentioned above, the Sprint Touch Pro2's stock behavior is to launch the HTC program launcher whenever the Start button/menu is activated. In the launcher, "Office Mobile" is one of the default programs, and clicking it actually launches another window which lists out the individual programs: Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, etc. So the folder concept is supported.

So yeah, I'd love to know if someone has figured out some way to support the same kind of folder behavior for user-created folders. Or even just for the "Games" folder!

Exactly!! I'd love to be able to add Folders to the regular TF3D HTC Program Launcher, rather than being limited to the 30 Icons, or have to sort through the entire array of "All Applications."

Hey, you guys were right. I searched around a bit and it looks like SolApathy has a solution for you:

Hopefully this is a tip someone can use...

k...Here is how you create your own shortcut folders in Manila...

Create a folder under windows/start menu/programs. Name it whatever you want.
move program links from the programs folder into that folder using activesync

Now go under HLKM\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA\PROGRAMLAUNCHER\

chose a program position (they are labeled by number) & open it. Modify the following values (I will use "Utilities" as my example):
DispName: Utilities
IconPath: this is up to you, I leave it blank, but you can link to an icon in the folder you create)
IsReadOnly:0
Path:\Windows\Start Menu\Utilities

Now you may be saying what? The paths do not match between where you placed the folder & the path in the registry... You are right; apparently it assumes the path is: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Utilities.
So you just need to put in \Windows\Start Menu\Utilities

I hope this helps anyone looking to create folder links easily under manila

I won't have a chance to play with this until later this week, but this looks exactly what I've been looking for! If it works, it really expands the functionality of TF3D's Start Menu system!!
