Remap soft keys in TF3D?

[nubbin]

IS there a small piece of software to remap the softkeys on the home screen in TF3D? There are several useful functions that could be placed on the home screen other than the default Phone/Programs. I've tried using the Remap Softkeys for WM5 but obviously that doesn't work with TF3D, and I don't want to disable Touchflow just to get altered keys.

try this
In a registry editor, go to:

HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/


HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:

HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.

so this is for the right soft key:
TouchFlo 3D right softkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
what do i put in the open "open" part so i can have my contacts open? and for the text to i just set it as "Contacts"?
its Windows/AppButtons/Contacts.lnk

Okay ... I've read all the post that I could find about changing the softkeys and nothing seems to work. I've changed the registry settings as indicated but still no go. I have the TMO TP2. I only want to change the home page so don't need anything fancy. Been updating the registry settings (HomeLSKText, HomeLSKpath, HomeLSKArguments) and can't get it to actually do anything (the text changes). What I want todo is to jump to the Contacts HTC page (really anything other than the Camera - why TMO did you make it Camera?). Any help would be great. Thanks.
