to free up the start menu icons that are there by default and not removable you need to change

HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/0/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/1/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/2/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/3/IsReadOnly

Change this value from 1 to a 0 and you can then edit their shortcuts.

Download phm reg edit to edit using a registry editor similar to windows regedit on your ppc. I use a program called total commander, it's a file explorer with a registry plugin. Total commander is also useful when copying over files in the windows directory (the stock one won't let you)

you can also edit the registry if you're connected to your PC via activesync using a program called ceregedit (in vista run as administrator).

I used this registry edit to remove the 4 original tabs, but I'd like to get back just the "settings" tab so that I can place it as the first tab. It seems like the 4 original tabs disappeared altogether after I changed the registry and removed them from the tabs section. Does anyone know how I can get just the "settings" tab back?

Hey, thanks for the cab, but I found what I was looking for here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1261374. I was able to get "settings" tab back, but I guess you can't move its position and only sets as the 4th tab.

nahh, you can do anything you want in the TF3D Program Tab, just do the following:

*AFTER* you populate the start menu icon slots, you just need to edit/change following registry keys:
(you could just set up everything in the registry, but if you populate the icons first you dont have to type in long executable paths as well as icon paths):

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher

(I prefer using PHM Regedit m'self)

Now find the subkey number corresponding to your icon slot (0=Top left, 1=Top Midle, 2=Top Right, 3=Next row left column, etc)

Just edit these Keys for each slot: (this is just an example and "\MyIcons\" is just a directory of any 64x64x300DPI .PNG files to use as icons)
- DispName = "Camera"
- IconPath = "\MyIcons\Camera.png"
- Path = "\Windows\Camera.exe"

For the settings Icon, you explicitly do this:
- Command = "--switchtopage Manila://settings.page"
- DispName = "Settings"
- IconPath = "\MyIcons\Settings.png"
- Path = "\Windows\manila.exe"

thats it!

See my "new batch of icons" post here if you want to try replacing Program Tab icons:

I've done RegEdits on PCs before, but not my PPC--about time, owning them for two years! This was my first edit, and it's fun getting to finally tweak my phone. Thanks for the useful Reg pointer!
