Title: shortcut to battery app on Ipaq2210?
Post by: ya1950 on November 15, 2003, 02:44:14 PM
I'm trying to use the icons supplied by Lightman as shortcuts to open up the Ipaq's memory and battery app menus. For those who are interested there was a discussion on this at Brighthand at:

http://discussion.brighthand.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=79526

which is based on MS info found here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppc2k/html/ppc_tcuts2.asp

Anyway I've been able to open the memory app based the above info but the shortcut

20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,3

which should open the battery app doesn't work on my machine. Anyone else tried this and if so how did you get it to work??

The documentation I have for accessing memory system settings is:
20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4

(Notice the use of 4 instead of 3.)

Should work for most Pocket PC. (FYI - Ipaqs and Axims have thier own apps for backlighting.  Axim also has its app for power settings.)

Thanks for taking the time to reply. That's correct for the memory settings. However what I'm looking for is the power settings which according to the documentation should work with the code above but doesn't.  :?

ok, just answered my own question based on fishboy's post. The Ipaq does indeed have it's own power app called powerg.exe in the windows/ directory. That's why I couldn't call the app with the above shortcut. Thanks fishboy.  :)

Sorry about misunderstanding your question.  I was going to suggest that the Ipaq might have its own power app as well, just like the Axim.  But since I don't have one, I could not confirm that.  Glad you found your answer.
