Why change the registry? Just look under Start /Settings/Home Screen.

The shortcut button? There's no easy way to change that. If I recall, it's stored in a file someplace and you have to do some work ot change it. But I'm not 100%.

Here you go. One of the best tweaks in my opinion.

The original link:

http://smartphonedubai.com/groupee/f...31/m/835102384

and the text copied from the link:

So little Johnny was not impressed with the following two little niggles


a) The Explorer key on his SP5m always sent him to http://www.imate.com (Using up COSTLY Bandwidth)
b) GPRS would always disconnect after a while (He wanted it always on)


So what to do..

Firstly he unlocked his phone as previously mentioned he then went to http://www.ghisler.com/smartphone.htm to get a hold of Total Commander for Smartphone


After installing ToTal Commander he

1) Started TC
2) Pressed >>File>>More>>Find Files
3) In “Search” for he put “Short*.lnk” [* can be found after LONG press of the “*” key select Symbols]
4) In “Containing Text” he typed “imate”
5) After a short time TC found a file called “Short_AP1.lnk”
6) He then selected >>File>>Edit
7) In the file, he replaced “23#\Windows\iexplore.exe http://www.imate.com” with “23#\Windows\iexplore.exe”
8) He then Selected “File>>Close”

Done

Just a Quick SOFT RESET and no more spending money for no good reason

To Keep GPRS Active
