Registry Edit: Left Soft Key

[Ramey]

I will take any assistance I can get!

I'm trying to change the function of my left soft key from accessing the calander to accessing the device memory screen (Settings > System > Memory).

I've tried twice to redirect the key, and twice I've been forced to HARD reset. I'm under ...Today\Keys\11 2, but how do I reset the default?

Can anyone help me with the location of the program link/ what it should look like? Walk me like a two-year old! Did I mention I don't know what I'm doing?

Oh, and if I delete the registry program AFTER I change change the soft keys it won't effect the change will it? (I don't want to destroy ANYthing else!)

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ramey, welcome to the forum. I found how to set it to notes, I am assuming that you can change notes to memory, but... It may be that because its not a program you can not assign it.

Reassign left softkey on Today screen to open Notes application
Use Total Command to navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
Change the “Default” key to the name that you want to appear on the button (in my case Notes)
Change the “Open” value to the location of the program you want to open (in my case “Windows/Notes.exe”
Perform a soft reset

hope that helps.

shimazuc,

Thanks for your reply!

I thought the same thing. Just change the open value to Memory.exe, but It didn't work. It is possible that I misspelled something.... I will try it again.

Wait, do I need to put the open value in quotations? I'm positive I didn't use them, and that's a deal breaker isn't it?

Riiiiiight. I think I see the light now. Thanks again!

Shimazuc!

I haven't had the chance to try it with the quotes yet. I will tonight, and post as soon as I know.

Thanks!

Shimazuc,

That is a BIG negative on the "memory" registry edit. I am convinced it cannot be done! I can find a pathway for everything EXCEPT the following:

lock, menus, owner information, error reporting, memory, regional settings, and remove programs

...But I wonder if I can set it to the "Settings" folder...?

Hi....just found this forum and i'm sure i'll be addicted really quick since i love my ppc

anyways......i put a free theme from the internet onto my phone and my left soft key now clicks for the phone on my Qtek 9100 ppc phone.

i want it to go back to Calendar however, when i go to the registry edit...i get as far as the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today....but there is no folder or option for keys.....what happend????

Rangness,

What registry editor are you using? Total Commander? Resco?
