Get Your Messenger Icon Back In Windows Mobile 5
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "ARTICLE" @ 07:00 AM
Windows Mobile 5 devices come with Pocket MSN which wraps up MSN Messenger, Hotmail and a few other things in one interface. The problem is launching MSN Messenger is now a multitap process. If you want your favorite green snowman icon back so a single tap runs Messenger, follow these simple steps.
• Start File Explorer on the device.
• Navigate to the \Windows folder.
• Scroll down and find instmsgr.
• Tap-and-hold on instmsgr and select Copy from the menu.
• Navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
• Select Menu|Edit|Paste Shortcut
• Tap-and-hold on the newly created shortcut and select Rename
• Name it MSN Messenger or whatever you want
