phone command line options

[Nosey]

are there command line options for the phone program, so you could setup a shortcut to dial someone... something like phone 123-4567

To clarify what I'd like to do, I would like to create icons on the home screen for a few people that I call often, so all I have to do is hit the icon and it will pull up the phone app and dial the number.. I'm playing with one of the iphone screens and it would be nice to create a dialer screen like the touch cube screen has..

any suggestions

Look into Wisbar Advance Desktop - it supports this functionality.

Yep, use:
path/shortcut: makephonecall.exe
param/parameters: 3165551212, so the shortcut actually comes out as

"makephonecall.exe 3165551212" and it will dial the number.

That worked great, thanks.. ok, how about doing the same thing to send a text message? since you told me that I've been looking in the dir's for something that would look like the same...

There is also makevmail.exe, but I couldn't find any documentation on how to use it.

found the command line for making a shortcut to text someone

path:
\windows\tmail.exe

command line
-service "SMS" -to "phone number" phone number must be in "'s

This looks exactly what I'm looking for for the shortcut to texting someone.

So did this end up needing wisbar advance desktop?

Also, how do you make a command to the path?

Bump.
