can CECabManager do this?

[jlechner]

With the 6.5 rom's coming out, I'm finding that I have to re-arrange my start menu everytime I flash. I'm aware of re-start, but it's a bit, primitive, for what I want to do. I'm wondering if CECabManager can create a cab that will simply MOVE files from one directory to another, even if that means creating a directory to place some files in. Basically, a fast and easy way to clean up my start menu the way I like it. Any help is appreciated.

A common cab can not do this, in my knowledge if you want a cab do this, that cab must contain a setup.dll, which can execute some commands before/after the install/uninstall. And seems it is not easy to make a setup.dll except you can use c++ computer language.

Otherwise a cab can only: Copy files, create/overrwrite registry and create shortcut.

As fa as I know, XDA_UC can do this. Check here:
[UC]XDA_UC V1.0.02, Automated & Silent User & Cook, Configuration Service[12/07/09] (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525810)

Please do correct me if anything wrong.

I actually use a cab to install my start menu, but I cook my own roms. I think it's going to be harder to do if you're flashing different roms-you won't know beforehand all the shortcuts that you need. You could probably write a mortscript that deleted everything in the start menu, and then install what you want with a cab, but I have a feeling that you'll miss a bunch of apps that are cooked in, and maybe include dead shortcuts.

Sashimi is another good way to insert a new start menu directory.
