1. I'm not familiar with your phone, but sounds like you have wm5. I'm not sure if there is any easier way OR if this will work on wm5. On wm2002/3 (for which the following was designed), you can edit the .xml file for your homescreen and using RJShortcut (Google it) you can make whatever icons you want static. You can choose 5 big icons or display 9 little ones (or, multiple lines of icons etc.). The .xml ends up looking like this (I've pasted mine below - you can see I use the 9 little ones and have them labled as well (so the name of the app appears in the icon bar when it's selected - meaning when you select the Task Manager icon it will say "Task Manager" right below):
<!-- RJShortcut --> <plugin clsid="{F3750050-8E30-4c61-A864-4301F5D7C065}" height="38"> <background b-border-width="1"> </background> <format padding-left="4" padding-top="5" padding-bottom="1"/> <shortcutbar icon-spacing="3" icon-size="small"> <shortcut target="\Storage\Windows\Start Menu\Utilities\Task Manager.lnk" appname="Task Manager"/> <shortcut target="\Windows\iexplore.exe" appname="pocket Internet Explorer"/> <shortcut target="\Storage\Windows\Start Menu\Internet\AvantGo.lnk" appname="AvantGo"/> <shortcut target="\Storage\Windows\Start Menu\Accessories\Audio\TCPMP.lnk" appname="Pocket Music Player"/> <shortcut target="\Storage\Windows\Start Menu\Accessories\Audio\RJV SoundRecorder.lnk" appname="SoundRecorder"/> <shortcut target="\Storage\windows\Start Menu\Accessories\Chronos.lnk" appname="Chronos"/> <shortcut target="\Storage\Windows\Start Menu\Accessories\Video\SPViewer.lnk" appname="Picture Viewer"/> <shortcut target="\Storage\Windows\Start Menu\Accessories\Notepad.lnk" appname="Notepad"/> <shortcut target="\Storage\Windows\Start Menu\Accessories\Calculators\Orneta Calculator.lnk" appname="Calculator"/> </shortcutbar> <background> <format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/> </background> <appname x="0" y="17"/>
</plugin>
2. Omega2008 has posted on how to change from grid to list:
"Change the Start Menu background image:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/MSStart
Change the director in the Value data filed in the BKBitmapFile String.
Change the way the start menu looks (from grid to list or vise versa):
The same key as above but select the GridView DWORD change the Value Data from 1 to 0. "
3. Can't help you with this one. I sync with Outlook and it has something like 20 built-in plus you can make your own. I don't know how to create more directly on the phone.
