reprogramming contact key

[stylistic14]

does anyone know how to reprogram the contact key to open a different program, i would like my to open a different "contact" program each time i press the contact key but instead it opens up the original contact... the one i want to open has pictures contact... the ony way i have been able to open it is by going to where i stored the program on my device...

is there anyway to change it... i did see another post about contact but that didn't solve my delimma...

Here is a link to a soft key applet:

It adds a setting in your Control Panel that allows you to change the soft keys to any program you want.

Also check the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other) as there is information on changing the today softkeys:


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\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

To change the title of the Right soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (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.
