Prevent "Hang Bugs" on RC9 Before CORE-2 Release
While the CORE-2 still on development, and I don't have any fixed date yet when this release will be out. But I had the great tips for SmartToolkit stability.
Here some
problematic features which alwalys bring some problem for many SmartToolkit users:
1. Deskbar
2. Screen Saver
3. Global Skinning
To prevent the problem, you can exclude all the problematic features, but I am sure you will not lost some cool SmartToolkit features like StartMenu and TaskMenu.
Folow this step:
1. Run the SmartToolkit
2. Open Start Menu -> Control Panel -> General, And use this settings:
* Unchecked (Global System Skinning) on the Options:
* On Homescreen = SmartToolkit Start Menu
* Taskbar hotkey on Deskbar = Disable
* Back key on Deskbar = Default
* Ok
3. Open Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Auto Keylock, And use this settings:
* If you want auto keylock, select some value in Auto keylock
* Screen Saver = Disable
If you want to delete all hotkeys, so It will not interupt another keys, just folow this steps:
* Open Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Hotkeys, And folow this step:
* Add -> Taskbar
* Delete other hotkeys except the new blank one
* Done
If you want to showing the Task Menu in the Homescreen softkey (without showing the Deskbar because the stability issue), you should edit the registry:
* Open the key "
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Home"
* Create new Key with name "
Keys"
* Inside the "
Keys" create another Key with name "
113"
* Inside the "
113" replace the (default) value with "
Task"
* Create new string value with name "
open" and value "
\Program Files\SmartToolkit\SmartToolkit.exe -TaskMenu"
Ok, this is small greet from me, And see you again next time or when the CORE-2 is out.

Idea for Us WM6.1 PeopleAug, 26 2008. 04:37, by
arcara A cool idea for those on wm6.1 Slideing panels. This will change the right soft key on the clock panel to be the Task menu for smarttoolkit. this will not overwrite all the right soft keys only the clock one.
Go to your registry editor and navigate to
HKLM -> Software -> Microsoft -> Chome -> CClock
Hit "Values" and change the SK2TXT to
Task
Then go to SK2URL and change that to
"\Program Files\SmartToolkit\SmartToolkit.exe" -TaskMenu
// It's important to include the quotes, put in the bold stuff only.
Reboot and changes will take effect
// note: As it is, It will only bring up the Task bar not the Task Menu once I figure it out I'll edit it....again.
