Has anyone discovered the secret to moving the program icons yet on the Star Trek? They are all system files so the OS will not easily let you arrange them into folders or delete them. Has anyone figured out how to get around that?

That is very annoying indeed. Had the same problem with the Motorola Q. I did the application unlock registry method found here and you should be able to move them around.

That got it. Bought this for my wife for our anniversary. She has been bugging me for a flip phone since I dumped our MPx220's. Thanks SMEG!

You can find the start up and shutdown screens in the registry in the following location "HK_L_M > SOFTWARE > HTC > Startup > image" and in "HK_L_M > SOFTWARE > HTC > Shutdown > image". Place the images you want for each on your phone, note the names and location (on the phone), then just have the value data point to that location of the screen you choose for each. I am personally using PHM Registry Edit on my phone. This is where you can also change or kill the startup and shutdown sounds.

Also, gSTART is a good FREE icon start menu app (and other related fun stuff) for use on the 220 (JNDRAD's phone). Both of these programs would be redundant (and take up precious memory) on the 3125 though. It's already running wm5 which has the icon start menu built in.

JNDRAD - I think there is a little confusion here as this is the 3125/Star Trek forum and you have the MPx220. Gryphons instructions are for the Cingular 3125.

Here's the instructions I have for changing startup and shutdown screens on the 220...

Change the phones Start Up and Shut Down screen images:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Splash Screen\

Take note of these three keys: CarrierBitmap (Cingular_PowerUp.gif), CarrierShutdownBitmap (Cingular_PowerDown.gif), MSBitmap (Cingular_PowerDown.gif) (the image names in () are the images I used on my phone)

In the Value Data field in each key type in the directory to where the image you want to use.

Example:
Value Data: \Windows\ms_splash.gif

Another example...on my 220 I've stored the images I want to use on my storage card as follows:

mine= \Storage Card\My Documents\Cingular_PowerUp.gif
\Storage Card\My Documents\Cingular_PowerDown.gif

Good luck!

Here is the simple way for windows guys. From Windows Explorer, Open the "Mobile.." folder. Then open the Mobile contents, then go to the WINDOWS folder. Here U will find the "Start Menu" folder. Now U could move the icons around or create a folder if u like. I have done this and its awesome. You should be in Windows XP with sync 4.2. You cannot do it in sync 4.5, its been disabled.

That way is much more simple than trying to use the File Explorer on your phone. However with certain phones, like the Q and the 3125, you'll still have to perform the regedit posted above before doing that.

Ok, I did the unlock thing and I think thats working. smile.gif I can move the start menu icons around, but I can't figure out how to arrange them so that my fav. 9 will show up when I hit the start button or am i missing something.
Thanks,

Here's the reg edit that allows what I think it is you're asking for:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu\Order]

The original on my 3125 looked like this:
StarTrek Original:
Cingular Music.lnk
Messaging.lnk
Calendar.lnk
Cingular Mall
MEdia Net.lnk
Internet Explorer.lnk
ActiveSync.lnk
Contacts.lnk
Settings.lnk
Games
Tasks.lnk
Voice Notes.lnk
Windows Media.lnk
Video Recorder.lnk
Pictures & Videos.lnk
Pocket MSN.lnk

I changed it to look like this:
Messaging.lnk
Contacts.lnk
Calendar.lnk
Games
Accessories
MIDlet Manager.lnk
Task Manager.lnk
Internet
Utilities

(if it's not a .lnk, then it's a folder)

I think you can force the order of the first 16 however you want it to be. But, from 17 on they are listed randomly. However, don't quote me on that. That's just something floating around the back of my brain at the moment. wink.gif
