Official Q9M Hack Thread

[tkedch]

I don't know if anyone had posted this hack some where else, but as I was disabling the call sound, I also wanted to disable the number keys sounds when I dial. Here it goes:
\HKEY_CURRENT-USER\Controlpanel\sounds\keypress
change BeepMode from 0 to 1.

no need to hack registry for this, simply go to:
start/settings/sounds/keypad control - and select "none"

I reaaaaaalllly want to have the media screen key bring up the camera. I tried this (using the rescoe registry editor), and followed everything very closely. But when I press the button, I get a message that says:

Can't find "Camera" (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available.


So, what did I do wrong - or can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Take care,
Rob

1. navigate to HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Camera
2. Edit the String Value "Application"
- Change the Value Data to: \Windows\Camera.lnk
3. Edit the String Value "Class Name"
- Change the Value Data to: Camera
4. Back/save your way out of the Registry Editor software.
5. Press and hold the (until recently useless) Home Screen Toggle key (2 seconds) until the camera pops up.


This was found on qusers.com.

How did you get this to work? I followed the same steps and get the following error "Can't find "Camera" (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available."

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

I made the same mistake and after 25 minutes figured out what I did. It is not .ink, it is actually .LNK

The .lnk is not a capital I, it is a lower case l that looks like a capital I.

Thanks! I got it to work

Did you do the Q9c 6.1 update? The Q9c has access to VZ Navigator.
