Ok, I have worked out how to link the buttons in the Programs Tab to folders and not files.
The way it was done on my original Telstra ROM is as follows.
Note this guide assumes you want to link the Games Folder, this should work for any other folder as well.
Copy the _FolderView.exe in the attached ZIP to your Windows directory
You need to create a new shortcut file (I copied an existing one and modified it and I'm sticking with the original Telstra filenames throughout this)
So I made a shortcut called _GamesFolder.lnk, and I put this in the Windows folder as well.
On the Shortcut Tab the target line needs to contain the line below:
\Windows\_FolderView.exe #\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\?shellres.dll,-8229
At this point if you run that shortcut it SHOULD open your Games Folder, if it doesn't you've done something wrong.
Ok, now we need to edit the registry
Navigate to ... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLaun cher\n
n being the number of the button you want to point to your folder. Remember the first one is 0 not 1, so top row 0-2, 2nd row 3-5 etc etc
Change the value of DispName to whatever you want it to be (for this I just used Games)
Change the value of Path to \Windows\_GamesFolder.lnk
If all has gone well you should now have a Games Button that has the little Ace of Diamonds on it, and when selecting should take you straight to your folder.
I would imagine you could put the exe and shortcuts anywhere you wanted them, I haven't tried, frankly I'm fine with them in the Windows Folder.
Hope this helps someone out.
Cheers
