how do i make a shortcut to dial a phone number?

---

What's the dialer and the syntax it take?

I thought I could do something like "cdial.exe 1234567890" but that doesn't dial the number.

I would love to know this too. Anybody? I am beginning to think it cannot be done via shortcut because I have been searching for a few hours for an answer.

Bummer. That's what I want, but it doesn't work with WM5.

From the official site:

WM2003 and WM5 phones compatible.
These tools are used with the PocketPC Phone Edition to make an SMS, Email or call from the command line.
This software is a replacement for my old tools, VJSMS and VJDialer.
This replacement is hopefully now Windows Mobile 2005 compatible. This new release features...

No, it seems to be just a .CAB file with extensions like .001, .002, etc.

No, but I got the MyFav thing in WM6 to work, so that basically gets at what I wanted to do: push a button to dial somebody.
