SmartSKey is a small program on Pocket PC that changes some behaviors of the softkey and the volume key of the PDA/phone. The program is originally design for HTC Wizard. But it should also work for other PDA/phone in WM5. Basically, the main purpose of the program is the change the behavior of the softkey so that holds the left softkey will popup the start menu; hold the right soft key will close current window; and press the volume buttons will like pressing page up/down. The program is designed to overcome the shortcoming that HTC Wizard doesn't have the hardware close button like the newer HTC prophet that make one hand operation a lot difficult. The program doesn't have any user interface, and will not have. However, it comes with use customizable ini file so that user can change the setting using this ini file. The program will not write anything into registry. Update Description:
