Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys

[Wideawake]

Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys:

To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx

Whats the default for the right softkey. I can't find the exe file for contacts

If you want the default, I think you can just delete the entire entry, and WM will recreate it for you.

I have the same question.

whats the code for call history soft key?

Use a utility like MemMaid. A Trial version is available from Handango or Pocketgear. Configure those soft keys in MemMaid, then view the registry keys to see what you got.

SPB Mobile Shell will map softkeys, and in fact that's the only reason I have it installed. It not only allows you to reset the softkeys to other programs on the phone, but to settings that are contained within mobile shell.

You can map a softkey to Lock your device. That's the sole reason I have it installed. If I could find another way to map a softkey to lock my device, I'd uninstall it.

Go to this thread it will change softkeys and much more and easier to use than the app I commented on above.
