DotFred Start Menu - The Start Menu is a replacement for the standard menu found on Windows Mobile Pocket PCs. The main difference is that it has been made as a service and so does not need to be launched on startup, it is done automatically, and it is not an extra exe, but a dll loaded by services.exe
Notice:
Change the settings folder name in the registry if the StartMenu/Settings folder has another name.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Services/FdcStartMenu]
"SettingsFolderName"="Settings"
For instance in French, it should be:
"SettingsFolderName"="Paramètres"
Installation instructions:
Sometimes the setup of the cab file doesn't install everything as it should. This could be solved by following the procedure described below.
1) Launch TaskMgr
2) From Menu->Actions select Register dll and browse /Windows directory and select ppcmenu.dll
3) Do a soft reset
4) Verify that it works after the reboot by clicking the start button only, not the "Start" text or whatever the translation is, if your device is not in English. This is done by purpose, so both menus are accessible.
you can also verify, if the service has started, by launching TM and selecting the services Tab.
What's New in This Release:
· add new value in the registry to change the font size
· default font size can be superseded by setting the following value in the registry
· [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Services/FdcStartMenu]
· "MenuTextHeight"=dword:0000000a
