I have a program I can only get to work in program files, how do I create my own start menu shortcut for it? Do I do it from the phone or do I have to use registry editer which I have but cannot get to work. Which is my second question.Is registry editer compatible with vista, it comes up but when I try to navigate thru it all I get is "unnexpected error has occured"? Or program not responding?

navigate to the exe file
hit the right soft key and scroll to 'create shortcut' then copy that shortcut to '\windows\startmenu' and your done

not sure what your attempting to do with your registry editor and vista

Thanks I believe I figured it out, I thought regeditor went on the desktop like active sinc. But I went to another site and found SKlite and put it on the phone where I now believe I should have been all along. I TOLD you guys I need a how to for Dummies and I wasn't joking! LOL But I am hard headed so I am going to figure all this out or I will have a new brick to throw at the tv come football season! One problem I have is I am using my Q for a modem unless I am at work so I read a while then I log off and play with the Q. Now off to create a shortcut!
