Navigate with your explorer to the exe file (in your case igo.exe) pres and hold on it; you will see a new window; select copying. Than navigate to \Windows\StartMenu\Programs. select the Menu button, select Edit, select Paste Shortcut that's it; I know there are other way's but it depends of your explorer.

[Q] what is the camera launch path?

I accidentally deleted the camera shortcut on my start menu and now it wont launch on sense home (the part where you can put your own short cuts).
How do I get the camera shortcut back on the start menu?
The camera.exe file is located in the windows folder on your device. There is a few ways you can get it back into your start menu but this would be my suggestion.
1: Navigate to the \windows folder on your device (either through active sync on your computer or through file explorer)
2: Locate camera.lnk file
3: Copy the camera.lnk shortcut to \windows\start menu\programs\
cool beans thanks!

[Q] Question...please help, Ive gone blind!!

OK, so I installed some games to my SD card. I just updated my LEO Rom to v13. Now I dont know how to get the icons for them back on the device and show on the start page. Im sure there is someone who knows how to to do this. Please help!!! I have looked through this forum so long I have gone blind. Thanks.........
browse to the folder for the game, one file will probably be an .exe file, press and hold, copy, browse to the windows/start menu/programs folder and choose menu edit paste shortcut
Some bits of software might require reinstalling on a new rom, but they are few and far between.

Thanks. Also, is there any way to create a new link in the start menu to the .exe on the storage card?

[Q] Can you make quick-links to files and folders?

The title says it all. Can I add a quick link to a document, video file, or a folder?

Yes sir you can!
Easily's way is by using Total Commander!
steps:
- Open Total Commander
- navigate to your file/folder what you will like to have as shortcut
- select file
- on the bottom pres "File"
- select >>>>> in popup window
- select Create shortcut
- add the path of shortcut
That's it.
You can also do it within windows on your HD2,
Open file explorer and navigate to the folder you want to make a quick link to,
Touch & hold folder, select COPY,
Navigate to My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and at the bottom of the screen select Menu, then Edit, then Paste Shortcut.
This adds the shortcut to windows start menu which can then be selected as a quick link in the normal way. It might seem a bit long winded but once you try it you will see it's quite quick and easy.
Cheers

if you dont't find anything, there's always Mortscript
I don't know how much this may help, but here goes:
With File Explorer on the phone, go to MyDevice then Windows. Select and hold on the file called 'Mute', then select Copy. Now in the Windows folder, select the Start Menu folder, then select the Programs folder. Select Menu, Edit and Paste Shortcut. Select and hold this shortcut, then select Rename and rename it from 'Shortcut to Mute' to 'Mute'.
Now if you go to your Quicklinks, select a blank window and add from the program list. You will now see the Mute in there.
Mute actually puts your phone into Silent Vibrate mode.

[Q] How to move a folder to the tablet "desktop"

As the title says, how do I move a folder to the tablet's "desktop", the main screen that you get after the tablet is finished booting.
Running currently CM7.0.3
Thanks.
As for moving the folder itself I have no idea, however if you want to create a shortcut on the tablets "desktop" then simply install Astro File Manager, long press on the desktop, choose add item, shortcut, ASTRO & then choose the appropriate folder.
Just be sure to hit okay quickly after you choose your folder otherwise it will take you into any subfolders within the parent folder (that is unless you choose to create a shortcut for a subfolder)
If you use es file explorer all you need to add is es bookmark manager beta to do this. Just tested it.
Hmm, I wonder if this is a ROM specific issue. I'm using Beasty's ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084573). When I long press on the home screen, one of the items I can add to the home screen is folders. I added a "Recent Documents" folder to the desktop to test. From the other comments, it sounds like there are a few alternatives if your ROM doesn't have a direct option to add folders to the home screen.
