Make A Shortcut To Anything
There are lots of reasons to make a shortcut – some applications are just .exe files so you need a shortcut created to easily access it or maybe you want a shortcut of a specific song or specific picture right in your programs directory. Specialized shortcuts were also needed when mapping the PTT button on the Fuze. One other benefit is that once you use this app you can add a shortcut in your TF3D Programs tab for just about anything – a song, a photo, etc…So this makes it easier to make shortcuts in your Programs directory and your TF3D tab (as well as anywhere else). Cichy3000 of XDA has made Link Creator – a simple application that works to accomplish all of this and it’s pretty slick looking as well.
There is a slight delay in populating some of the options but this is not a program flaw – it’s because our phones take a long time to make these massive lists of all files on the phone, particularly when it’s something in the \Windows directory, so give your phone a chance. It’s worth the delay though since once you have the shortcut it will save you time every time you launch the program.
Check out this link for some more photos of it in action. The download link for the application is in the fourth post or you can just click here.
Great work cichy3000!

Farter Ted I loaded it up, but it only seems to want to link things in my storage card. I hope I’m doing something wrong.
X2D Just use File Explorer Extensions.. much easier and more integrated into something you probably use daily.
David K Nexus – he is referring to this app: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-file-explorer-extension.html
My Fuze wasn’t a big fan of it but mine isn’t right any longer:) If you try it please share your results
Pendragon Loaded it up, looks like it will run fine. Just haven’t a need for a shortcut right now.
Two questions…
What is the number field for at the bottom of the app?
I believe you have mentioned in the past having a shortcut that not only starts up the Phone app, but dials direct to your wife… how do you go about finding the parameters to apps (like Phone, Contacts, etc)?
Thanks for this and other cool stuff (like the PTT remapping)
wadeduncan I have many apps installed on my storage card, but some of them don’t show up in Programs. Will this download work to create shorcuts for these apps?
David K wadeuncan- that’s exactly what it’s meant for. At times apps get installed but no shortcut is created (or an app is just an exe so there’s no shortcut created). Either way, if you’ve installed the app and never got a shotrcut in the programs directory than try this
WOW – This looks very promising. Good info. Thanks!
