PHM TrayLaunch...

[lpasq]

...works well on wizard. after loading PHM Powertoys so i could extract and isolate the "TrayLnch" applet, i removed the Powertoys suite and placed TrayLnch in the Programs File folder in subfolder PHM Tools where my PHM RegEdit resides too. placed a shortcut in Windows/Start Menu/Programs and started to use it with no issues.





all it takes to add a today link is to type in the program's target file path...





i like how light this solution is compared to the other bundled apps that include today screen access to applications through multi-function plug-ins. running this with water's "smatskey" is a nice combo. i don't use nico's reg-hack-app since it bugs running on my rom. i don't mind modding the registry directly and do apply the speed tweaks and few minor function items.

one thing i need help with is this... i want to get to "running programs" via the today tray. can someone please tell me the command line to try and get a link to Start>Settings>System>Memory>Running Programs???

Create a shortcut with this content:

24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2

That should launch the main control panel applet, with the Task Manager (4), and 2nd tab (2). Works here, but please do let me know if it doesn't wwork for you.

no luck first attempt. please provide complete command line format. thanks in advance!

[ZeBoxx]

that is the entire command line format ;>

I've attached the file, zipped up. If it doesn't work, try using...

24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,1
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,2
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,3
24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4

etc. and see which number pops up the task manager for you. Then just add that ",2" at the end to make it go to the correct tab.

loaded code and link to it via folder address. works a peach. thanks. i'm noob and was trying to write code as "target" command line in traylnch.

now... how can i change the .lnk file's icon?

[ZeBoxx]

you need to add the file you want to load an icon from, and the icon resource you want to use.
You could use the "Device Information" icon, for example (the task manager one itself isn't too clear):

24#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2?deviceinfo.exe,-103

If you want to look for other icons, try:

Execute on your device, find a DLL or EXE, and click "Next Icon". Note that on my device it's not finding any icons in "ceshell.dll", even though there's a lot of icons in there, so your mileage may vary.

do you have "phm traylnch" on your device? if not, i can email it to you or upload it to xda's ftp tomorrow. just pm me with an email address if you want it sent. it is part of phm powertoys. if you google phm powertoys and load it, you might want to pull out the tray launch exe and only keep it on device. i got rid of the whole powertoy suite since i only care for the tray launch tool and regedit of course.

Could you post the TrayLnch applet? I was considering doing the same thing you did just to get that app...

thanks!
