Help finding shortcuts to programs

[essex]

Hey guys, I'm working on a homescreen and I was having trouble finding a few shortcuts directly to programs... Namely the .lnk files to the text messages and camera... I know they're both accessed from within other places (like text messages are accessed from the messaging screen and camera accessed from the pictures/videos screen, but I was wondering if it could still be done.)
Thanks!

For Messaging:

\windows\\Start Menu\Messaging.lnk

For Camera

\windows\\Start Menu\Pictures & Videos.lnk

That wont open the camera directly....im not sure where the camera app is, but maybe someone else knows. But, that is the extension to use for your shortcuts. fyi, it is also the extension to use for the icon.

hope that helps you somewhat.

Thanks,
Ryan

Haha.
I'm already utilising those two... I meant I need the ones for the exact features (if they exist).
And I already have custom icons.
Thanks though...
Anyone?

To get the camera, try using pimg.exe -camerakey in the shortcut file. Specifically, use this text:

29#\Windows\pimg.exe -camerakey

That works for me, but your shortcut won't have an icon (which is OK if you're only going to use it on the Home screen with an image).

I don't know how to get to the Text Messages account directly, but try finding a Home screen that does it and use that shortcut. There's probably some command line option for the tmail.exe program.
