I deleted my office folder from the tf3d program list and now I cant get it back :( Someone that still has it should check the registry
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/
And find the number that has office in it, copy those contents into the thread please. IT might help solve this games folder issue as well

headshokfatty -> i have been trying to figure out the same problem!!
(I also deleted the Office folder shortcut when I first setup the phone.)
i am glad i am not alone.

i cannot find where HTC stores the shortcuts for the TF3D favorites screen. my research started with the \Windows folder and then a search through the registry for a program that was already on the favorites screen. No luck. :(

Please keep us posted.

I'm tempted to hard reset to find out.
its gotta be in HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/ somewhere... Anybody with the office shortcut still in TF3d favorites screen please check it should be HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/4 or /5 if I remember right.

hard reset is a good idea, but i would hope your request to check the .../ProgramLauncher registry setting will prove fruitful.

ok since I have 2 TP 2's I can do a comparison. Where do you guys want me to look (I have 1 still completely stock & one that is modded that cannot display folders) It will be the morning before I can get to is (work in 30 minutes...)

Under \HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\

Under this registry location, there should be a link (key) to the Microsoft Office Shortcut folder. We need to know all the different keys/strings that are associated with this shortcut.


We will then be able to replicate this with any folder on the device. I tried to add the shortcut to the \Windows\StartMenu folder, but the registry key I added (for #10) didn't work. :(



Thanks!

My phone has the shortcut to Office Mobile in #11 of the ProgramLauncher folder of the registry. The path is \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office. Hope that helps.

Well I was planning on checking on it this morning, but apparently her TP 2 is broken.... It was still completely stock & was running painfully slow. Restarted the device & now it will not move past the Touch Pro 2 screen. I've tried multiple resets, removing the battery... Still no change. Looks like I will be sending 1 back... This sucks

Did you do a hard reset? With the power off, hold the red and green phone buttons while turning it on.

Thanks for the path! Can you provide the rest of the information keys for #11? Just entering the Windows path does not do the trick.

THANK YOU!!
