Default Short Green Key Press

Hi all,
I would want to change the application opened on a short press of the green key

Now, in today screen when I press (shortly) the green key, it pop up the phone application (standard, htc)
I've installed Inesoft Address book, and would want to be open the history calls.
In the HTC Polaris tweaks and tricks post, I can manage the long press green key application launch, not the short press one

Thanks in advance.

You could try installing a button mapper such as AE Button Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php). It's free to try (it's shareware I think) and is incredibly powerful. I haven't put it on my Touch Cruise yet (for reasons too tedious to mention but unrelated to AE Button Plus) but I used it on my Artemis and it allowed me to map the green (and red) keys. You can certainly do what you want assuming it works the same on the TC as it did on my Artemis and you could even keep the ability to launch the phone app if you wanted by setting that to launch when you double-click the green button.

Thanks Julian, I'll give it a Try.
Hoped to have it with a little modification (ie a registry hack) more than installing a new software, but I'll try anyway
