I am aware on how to change the left and right soft keys with phm regedit, and have tried to set it to phone, but have no idea what the correct file path should be in order to get the phone dialer to actually open. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

I just checked mine and the reg values for HomeLskArgument, HomeLskPath and HomeLskText are all blank, so I think phone is the default setting. Try erasing whatever you currently have for those reg entries and see if that fixes it.

dont know if you know but the file is called cprog in the windows dir which will open the phone dialer

i would think \windows\cprog something to that effect.

just wondering why would you make a softkey for the phone when all you have to do is use the hardware key.

The TP was set up like that and I'm so used to it that everytime I try to make a phone call I have to think of what to hit. Plus I'm tired of the accidental fat fingering of the slider into the camera.

Thanks unknown and insipidmonkey. I tried unknows idea so far and it did not work unless it needs a .exe or .dll or something like that after the cprog

it's cprog.exe
it should work after you add the .exe

yes just changed it to read phone or is there more to it? I read about chaging the lsk to whatever you want, just never adressed changing to open the dialer.

i just changed mine to make sure and it worked, so i'm not sure what the problem is. Do you have SecondToday installed? what is your today screen (manila or titanium or spb ms)? what does your left softkey currently do?
