Help with PPC

[Luciano U. Werner]

The documentation that I found about PPC was skimpy at best, so I'm having some trouble costumizing my iPAQ. Maybe you guys can help me out:<br>1) How do I create shortcuts? For instance, I installed Peter's Gamebox on my iPAQ. How do I creat a shortcut to it on my Games folder in the Start Menu?<br><br>2) In Notes, is it possible to eliminate the date column or at least shrink it so that the title column has a bigger space (i.e, all of the title can be displayed)?<br><br>3) In Notes, is it possible to disable the virtual keyboard so that every time I open a note It won't automaticaly pop-up and then stay opened until I hit the icon on the lower right corner?<br><br>4) How can I change wallpapers, icons and buttons? I'm trying to use WisBar and I know it can be changed some.<br><br>Thanks for the help.

use 'explore' on activesync and create shortcuts and folders as you would with you desktop pc.<br><br>i never use notes, sorry.

[Luciano U. Werner]

Paul, you've helped a lot about the shortcuts. Do you know where I can find something about Notes? I use it at work every day.<br>Why can't there be a GOOD manual to these things? I looked every where and there's nothing about this.

[Paul]

try , but i cant promise anything.

[Paul]

ok, i just used notes. <br><br>you cant alter the widths of those columns. not thrrough notes anyway, so i dunno...<br><br>disabling the keyboard could be done by setting your default input device to something else although then that would probably popup instead...<br><br>i haven't used wisbar for ages and i cant install it right now so you'll have to keep trying

[Paul]

um... actually, mine doesn't popup... i just leave the mode on the little pen and it always starts in drawing mode. is this what you wanted?

[Luciano U. Werner]

No, that doesn't work either. Instead of the keyboard popping up now it's the pen thing. Darn. Don't think I'll be able to fix that. But that link you posted had some excellent tips. Thanks.

[Moose or Chuck]

Ya, my keyboard never pops up until I press the button in Notes.<br><br>But just go into the WISBar settings to change all of its... settings.

[Paul]

i suppose it was inevitable you would get involved...

[Moose or Chuck]

And I suppose it was inevitable that you would respond with ignorance to his problem...

[Paul]

i helped him with the shortcut, the columns cant be resized, the popup problem i dont even have so i cant see whats wrong and the url i gave him had "some excellent tips"

[Moose or Chuck]

You got to use the word 'inevitable' so I had to too, sorry. And ignorance is my favorite word, so you can see why I had to use it too.

[Paul]

pffft, that was quick...

[randall]

inevitable ignorance... Ah yes, I can see why those words appeal to Moose so much.
