Well I flashed again (was having RAM issues...maybe the Facebook tab in Sense 2.5?) Just about everything went back the way I wanted. The only problem I had is my quicklink icons did not work. The icons ended up right but the links did not work. I am wondering if using mortscript would fix this problem something like this? CreateShortcut("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\7zFM.lnk","\Storage Card\Program Files\7zFM.exe")

then do I make this a .mscr file and where would I put it to make it execute? I use XDAUC and UCMe2 (which is very nice)

The quicklinks should work fine if exported correctly. Did you switch ROMs? Sometime chefs put the app shortcuts in different places.

I installed the same ROM. The icons showed up for the quicklinks but they did not work. I had to go and put all the shortcuts manually back into windows\start menu\programs...that is why they wouldn't work.

OOPS I forgot to specify that the apps on my storage card were the problem. I didn't have to reinstall those so the shortcuts did not get recreated like I thought they would. So I am trying to find a way to create those shortcuts then my quicklinks will work.

Two options immediately come to mind:

1. Use mortscript to create the shortcuts on the fly
2. Create the shortcuts in the same folder as the application (on sd card) and then use UC to copy them to the start menu folder

I am trying to understand how to do that. I attached a file to post 91 that I made. Do I just rename that to a .mscr file? Where would I need to put it? (using XDAUC or UCMe2) Thanks!

You could also use XML to create them.

Here is a sample:
-- UNTESTED --

<wap-provisioningdoc>
  <characteristic type="FileOperation">
 
    <characteristic type="%CE4%" translation="install">
      <characteristic type="MakeDir" />
      <characteristic type="Shortcut to Solitare.lnk" translation="install">
        <characteristic type="Shortcut">
          <parm name="Source" value="%CE2%\solitare.exe" translation="install"/> 
        </characteristic>
      </characteristic>
    </characteristic>
 
  </characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

all this is good info, but how do you cook xda_uc or sdconfig.exe into the rom, ive searched here and xda, the info is blurry | incomplete at best. Ive read about placing the sdconfig.exe into oemapps, and editing config.txt to perform this. any specifics someone would like to share?

Are you cooking your own ROMs? If not, then your question is not valid and you should check out Sashimi.

If you are, you should check out this thread:

that page is one of my fav's. have the rom dumped, there is no windows folder to put it in, thus my inquiry about oemmapps. i believe that i found the location for the regedit to lax security
