Hi all,
First, I hope i created this thread in the right place and not break rules of our forum. :)

--
In WP7, when we click on the arrow in the upper right corner, it will bring us to all apps of the WP7 in a list format.

The question is how could i get all apps ( shortcut, i think) of the WP. I "googled" something like that but no help.

Is this possible or not?
Any clues about how to begin with this is very appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean Microsoft's apps that came with Mango, or the new 'jump list' in the app list? (Only appears when you hit a certain number of apps, 40 I think.)

See this for the jump list:

Is this a development related question (belongs here), or user related? Not quite understanding the question.
This is absolutely a development related question. :)
Yeah, I mean Microsoft's apps. I need to get some info such as: path to the apps, Icon, title name of app etc ... of all apps which came with windows phone ( alarm, settings, Message , Games, Calender, Camera ... ). So, i can arrange them in which i like :D

You can do it on interop unlocked phone only, using native filesystem calls. Just lookup all /Application/Install folders and extract and parse any info you need.

Thanks for your info.
As far as I know, Windows Phone Emulator in WP 7.1 SDK isn't unlocked yet. But knowing where to start is much better than nothing.

Edit:
WP7 Mango Emulator Image Unlocked
I found this today, great.
@sensboston : Can you tell me more detail on how to do this: "using native filesystem calls, just lookup all /Application/Install folders and extract and parse"?
Thanks
