softkey.cab => calendar messed up

[V J]

Hello,

I recently downloaded the application on the ftp server to reassign the soft buttons in the todayscreen (was recommended).

However, it is impossible to assign the calendar application (it always results in an error stating that one or more required files cannot be found, despite the fact that I can launch calendar from the start menu). So I removed the software, but the problem persists, even after a soft reset.

How can I get the calendar back on the left softkey, without having to hardreset my device?

Thanks!

Hey V J, I think that is the old problem that is fixed with a simple reg tweak. It is looking for the wrong Calendar App, iirc. Try the google site search for Calendar error registry - or something like that.

Man, I love that Google search - found it in the first result - since I am feeling magnanimous, here you go:
Q: How do I fix the Calendar softkey error?
A: Regedit \HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 from windows/lsk/htccalendar.exe to windows/calendar.exe

Thanks! That was indeed the issue.
(I must have been using inadequate keywords on google...)
