So... the UserFiles seemed like a really great idea! Except I couldn't actually figure out what they are good for that wouldn't be just as easy (or easier) to do on the phone.
Then the inspiration hit:
Vijay555 (a genius; see
http://Vijay555.com) has a number of little utilities that do things like: dial your phone, send an e-mail or text, reset or lock or dim or unlock, etc., etc.
So I downloaded VJPhoneTools and set up a shortcut to VJDial.exe with my voicemail number as the argument, moved it to the SWM folder, and renamed it UserFile1 -- now I can dial Voicemail without touching my phone or using voice dial on my headset. Cool huh?
So now I'm thinking what to do with UserFile 2: Call home? Send a "Running late" text message to the office? Lock the phone? So many choices -- check out Vijay555.com. VJDialer has the phone and messaging apps; VJEscaton has reset options; VJDeviceLock has lock, screen on/off, etc.; and, in fact, VJKeyPress can emulate any keypress on the phone!
Not bad, huh? Now my only question is, Can we have more UserFile slots? We could then swap these in for functions we don't use (e.g., WMP in my case). Just a thought...
One other request: Would it be hard for SWM to read the current time (including time zone shift)? I travel across time zones, and this would be a handy feature.
Otherwise, I can just shut it down and restart and all is fine.
And in conclusion: SWM is very nicely done! Thanks for all your hard work and attentiveness to user needs.
