How do you change the registry to make the left soft key into a lock button??
What do I type for the argument and Path?

The path for the lock screen would be windows/devicelock.exe.
In the registry, HKLM/software/htc/manilla/lsk path

I just tried this again to verify and it does work, and has worked every time. What happens when you click the left soft key after you make the change?

When I click it, it flashes for a second and thats it. Is there something to put in the LSK Argument as well? The only thing which worked is changing the text. Am I supposed to use quotes or anything?

Devicelock.exe is not located in the registry, you will find it in the windows folder, and you wont be able to see it unless you have your file explore set to see system files and hidden files. I use Resco explorer and it works fine. To see it in resco, go to menu, options, general,browser, uncheck the four options to hide files except hide file extentions box. Then hit the binoculars to search for devicelock and it should find it in the windows directory.
I have attatched Resco and the registry add-0n. Give it a shot.
Your HomeLSKArguments should be blank.

Then go here:

1-HKLM\software\HTC\Manilla\HomeLSKPath
And put the following as the path:
2-windows\Devicelock.exe
And whatever text you want in HomeLSKText.

* For the camera, it should be Windows\camera.exe
