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

Referring to the default/home screen for Internet Explorer which is currently set for i-mate's page.

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.

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
