WM6 underground Edition: messaging option on bottom left change delete->new

[thomassster]

I saw someone mentioned this in another thread, and it was difficult searching for a solution. I did a search and it's difficult searching through the post when your key words are WM6 new delete messaging. On the text messaging section on bottom left, they have the option delete when I remember back in WM5, they have it as a new option. Does anyone know of a fix?

Ya i just saw that today. I mean what the hell were they thinking! people wright new messages more then delete them. Please help fix. this is killing me!:mad:

I think people delete messages more than they create. This change is actually pretty nice. You can new a message from today screen using the wm5NEW.

In messaging, clicking right softkeys, followed by action key also can new a message quickly.

Welcome to WM6.

I used the tnsms.exe option where you fix the left softkey(labelled NewSMS) to call it. This reduces to just one key press to start a new sms. The right softkey I left it for Saman's WM5NewMenu for other less accessed stuff.

I don't suggest you to use softkey software
It will let your ppc screen freeze some times.



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)


So..
If you wnna change the left softkey to NewSMS,
you need copy tnsms.exe to windows (WM6 not include it)
then use registry edit to change:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\tnsms.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

To change the title of the Left soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = "New SMS" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

I believe they are talking about changing it in the actual SMS app, not on the today screen.
