Creating shortcuts to Settings/System

[sabesh]

Hi,

Is there a way to create shortcuts to items in Settings/ System? I basically want to create a shortcut to the "wireless network" option in the Settings/system screen, as I change wireless networks often.

Thanks,

Sabesh.

Is there a way to create shortcuts to items in Settings/ System? I basically want to create a shortcut to the "wireless network" option in the Settings/system screen, as I change wireless networks often.

A few settings applets on my iPAQ 3870 are programs, so I can easily create shortcuts to them using Copy and Paste Shortcut. However, for the most part, there's no simple way to create shortcuts to settings applets directly on your Pocket PC.

That said, I just did a Google search on "Pocket PC" shortcut settings, and saw some articles from Microsoft about creating shortcuts, right at the top of the search results. Clicking on the "More results from www.microsoft.com" link showed me additional results about creating shortcuts, including a link to an article about creating shortcuts to settings applets (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppc2k/html/ppc_tcuts2.asp).

Did you try Google?

If you follow what the article says, you can create shortcuts to settings applets. For example, here is a shortcut to the Memory applet:

20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4

and here is one to the Running Programs tab of the Memory applet:

22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2

I tried to create these directly on my Pocket PC, but shortcuts created using either Notes or Word didn't work properly.

Finally, there are also some programs that make getting to settings applets easier. On my iPAQ 3870, iTask allows me to access them fairly easily.

P.S. Why would there be a Wireless Network applet on the Dell? It doesn't have integrated WiFi capability.

If you have Resco File explorer, it's easy.

you just do a copy then paste shortcut where you want it to be.

Out of the box you have to do it the long way...

TheBacklash,

I have Resco Explorer 2003. How exactly do you do this? Where can I find Settings/ System items with Resco?

Thanks,

Sabesh.

Sabesh wants to copy items in the Settings folder (Start Menu/Settings). How do you get to that in Resco File Explorer to select the source?
