Inserting an Icon into the SETTINGS page - Help

[FOSA]

Hi!


Is there anyway to insert an icon or its shortcut into the 'Start' --> 'Settings' page?

The reason is that my Voice Command icon disappeared after I install a new program or that it could be due to my auto registry cleaning process by MemMaid, Pocket Mechanic etc. However, the program is still there and in the Buttons I can still see Voice Commmand being assigned to a button.


Thanks

Check your registry entries Bro.

HKLM\Control Panel\

Is Voice Command still there?

Yeah, dont use Pocket Mechanic to to clear unwanted Registry files.

there is 3 registry files that belong to Microsoft Voice Command which is not intended to remove even though Pocket Mechanic prompted the files has no use anymore.

I experience myself, and i did posted some explanation and i cant find the link.

probably under Microsoft Voice Command

Hi guys!


I just uninstalled and reinstalled my MS Voice Command.

After that I cleaned using Pocket Mechanic. No problem encountered with MS Voice Command.

However, I suspect under the right circumstance Pocket Mechanic is the cause of my MS Voice Command to cease functioning on a couple of occassions

I'll be back in no time on this thread again. Thanks everyone

Hi!

I spoke too early and I'm back now. :(

Earlier, after cleaning with Pocket Mechanic, MS Voice Command still works. I guess it worked because it already was loaded into the memory.
Then after a soft reset it cease to function.

Yes, its there. Its just that the voice command icon in the SETTINGS screen has gone :roll:


If Pocket Mechanic is the real culprit I think somebody got to inform Anton Tomov (the developer) about this so that a fix can be made.

[keithhiap]

it may not be the cause of Pocket Mechanic, it could be Microsoft.

You should know Microsoft always wanted to control Apps Protocol which i think that way.

Well. maybe you wanna try the latest Pocket Mechanic 1.52.

I have an explanation but not sure if its right.

I'm using the uograded version of MS Voice Command v1.5 and Pocket Mechanic v1.52

First, you install v1.0 - v.1.1 version of MS Voice Command then you upgrade to version v1.5

Now, when you run Pocket Mechanic it looks for bad file links, uninstall cabs etc.

Here's the problem. I suppose v1.5 MS Voice Command still depends on the links of its earlier version which are considered bad by Pocket Mechanic. Hence, running PM causes MS Voice Command to cease functioning when some of its earlier version links are removed.

It should not happen to a software undergoing an upgrading (not new install) process. For other programs that have been upgraded running PM after that has no effect on the later program. In this instance this does not happen to MS Voice Command.

How's that?

Ok, probably, let me explain how i make Microsoft Voice Command(MVC) work for me.

I have MVC v1.0.

Steps.

1. Install MVC v.10 (By default, the path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Voice Command)
2. Go to settings, double check whether is the app version v1.0.???
3. If Yes, go to step 4.
4. Uninstall MVC v1.0
5. Soft reset
6. Use Pocket Mechanic to clear all the bad links until no bad links are shown

Note: Do not uninstall MVC from your DESKTOP, leave it alone.

Next

1. Soft reset PDA (this step is up to you, i did)
2. Install MVC 1.5(upgrade version downloaded from Microsoft site)
3. During installation on DESKTOP.
4. Change the path to to MATCH the install path with MVC v1.0
5. If you dont, the path for installing MVC 1.5 will be (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Voice Command\Microsoft ???????? ???????\US Version)

Note: you have to change the path to match the installation path with MVC 1.0

6. Completion of installation into PDA.
7. Soft reset
7. Launch Pocket Mechanic
8. Like i have said, before you install MVC v1.5, i believe Pocket Mechanic has cleared all the bad links.
9. so now, you will only see 3 bad links which belongs to MVC.

Done, enjoy the apps.

Ops, hope i dont get into trouble with so clearly explanation partial hack.

keithhiap,

The problem doesn't lie with the MSVC installation process as you mentioned that only 3 bad links will be finally left behind.

The problem comes when you perform the same upgrading or install/uninstall other programs.

When you run PM it'll find many more of such bad links and, well, your MSVC bad links will not be distinguishable with the rest. Removing the bad links incidentally will render your MSVC to cease functioning.

[keithhiap]

ops, forget to tell you my MSVC is although 1.0, but upgrading to v1.5 is not possible.

Why, is it because 1.5 is intended for US version only

Like i have said, even though my version matches what microsoft mentioned. as long as you are holding 1.0, you can perform upgrade 1.5, but for my situation , i cant.

No idea

that y , i experience such installation way, in order to make my upgrade works

[FOSA]

My MSVC is v1.01 and upgrading to v1.5 is without problem :D

[keithhiap]

i wanted to purchase 1.5 full version, but too bad, not avaliable for Asian.

that y i have said Microsoft is controlling, forcing people to use alternative way to break through such as Piracy.

:roll:

later, return to my movie
