How do you change the bottom 2 buttons on the Today screen? - Page 2

Copied this from another thread. There is a glitch, but here is the fix. Not sure how you got it to work just fine.

"For some reason, it messed up my left softkey. No program will start using the left softkey now. Anyone experience this? Ideas?

EDIT: FIXED - Mighty Mike found a glitch, so to make it work right, you have to put the program that you want to work for the Left Softkey in the Right Softkey mapping. The Contacts will still work when you press the Right Softkey. However, you must change what it displays for the Right Softkey back to "Contacts", but leave the "wrong" program in the command line. Put the program name that you want for the Left Softkey in the Left Softkey title box, but the link in the link box for the Right Softkey box, and "Contacts" in the Right title box.

Clear as mud, right?"

EDIT: I'm pretty sure it works on yours because you have the Verizon version and I have the Sprint version.

Here is how mine is setup, one button opens Opera Mini & the other opens a 2nd today screen with weather panel.

Ok assuming i read the directions correct, so there is no way to change the right soft Key.. It keeps defaulting back to Contacts...So any additional info would be helpful?

For Sprint, yes. You can only change the left one. Verizon users seem to be able to change the left & right just fine with that "Softkey Manager" program.

Any update on changing the right key yet on Sprint? Thanks

Hi guys, how do you change the left soft to SMS/Messaging..? Can't seem to locate the .exe file.

what I posted above works like a charm.

you have to put the full path in and most apps are in windows\startmenu\programs\contacts.lnk

and you have to spell everything correct. most are .lnk

left and right work like a charm

This problem is exclusive to Sprint w/TF3D users. I assume you're not on Sprint or don't use TF3D, because this tek doesn't work.
