Mysterious disappearance of a today plugin

[humayunl]

I installed a few softwares on my PDA (imate a.k.a. XDA II) yesterday. Some of them had today plugins so they created entries in the today plugin list.

One strange thing that happened is that my Inbox today plugin has disappeared from the today plugin list.

Any idea where it went and how to get it back? And what controls what shows up on the today plugin list?

First off, I am assuming that you have gone to your settings - Today and made sure that it's not just a problem with checking/unchecking the plug-ins listed. Secondly you will need a registry editing program like PHM RegEdit or Resco Explorer Registration add-in. Find your way to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then SOFTWARE then Microsoft then Today then Items. Delete any keys you are not currently using to bring the list below 13 (If memory serves me it's 13). Whether or not you actually are displaying the plugin or even use the software, as soon as the key is loaded it takes a "slot" on the list and once you reash the limit the OS just remove one to make room for another on the Today screen. To make matters more annoying, it seems that, at least for me, the inbox is the first to go instead of 3rd party plugins. Hope this solves your problem - if not post more details and we'll see where to go next. :D

Yes an OS problem that a few of us have faced and discussed previously.

If you install too many today plug ins for the OS to handle the InBox is the first to disappear.

If you require additional info there are existing threads dealing with the same issue.
