I need a shortcut to all the programs folder - sense 2.5

badb4c · #1 (**permalink**) 03-29-2010, 03:15 PM

I need to add a link to all programs. There is not one on the slider anymore with 6.5 2.5. The only way to get to the all programs folder /(program files?) folder is to click on add a shortcut in the cookie monster home tabs shortcuts. I cannot add it to the right soft key bc cookie monsters theme uses it for its own menu shortcut. I would like a shortcut in a quick link, on the slider, or under the start menu. I could not change the left soft key through the registry either.

Thanks

X2 i miss having the Program tab on the slider.

Can't you just hit the start button?

No. I don't want to deal with all the sub folders in there. I just want a shortcut to show all programs like on every other rom I have ever had.

I just want them listed out how the old program shortcut on the old slider did. The add new shortcut quick link thing can display them like this. Not sure why they did away with it.

I normally click the windows key and it take me to the Programs menu.

I just don't like how it is sorted and looks. None of the cabs to change to start menu to like what the pic I previously posted works. Anyone know of any that will show the start menu with no folders? Just a full list of all programs?

Go to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and proceed to remove all the programs from the folders. Delete the remaining folders (can't get em back w/o hard reset) and all your programs will be visible under the start menu. Sorry but its the best I can offer.

That's what I was going to say...there are cabs floating around to make the start menu "square" (ie, no honeycombing of the icons) and there are cabs to enable 3, 4, 5, and 6 columns of icons.

You can get the folders back by creating a new folder and naming it to the original...assuming the icon was located in /Windows, it will pop right back up.

Personally, it doesn't get better than co0kie's home tab...if you need "quick" access to more programs than you can fit on there, you have issues.
