kind enuff to be a little more specific on what it is ?
EDIT: nvm...i got it...no other way apart from Cookies home tab ?? any standalone app ??or somthing ???

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.

Hi
For apparantly no reason the default WM2003 Calculator Application has stopped working. The shortcut is still there but its lost the icon. When i click it, it says the application is not in the target location...
Can anyone help?? :/
Hi,
the shortcut should resove to calc.exe, find this file in your windows folder using file explorer. Tap and hold and choose copy.
Navigate to Windows\start menu\programs and tap and hold again, this time choose paste shortcut. You should have it working then.
Cheers

[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.

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] 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

[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.
