Glad to see we finally have a forum here at pdaphonehome for the jasjar. I used to visit often.

Check out the registry faq below from Xda-developers. Some usefull info


Registry Settings
Changing the registry can be a dangerous thing to do - do not make these changes below unless you know what you are doing and that you have a way to revert the changes if they do not do what you expect.

If any of the changes listed below do not work then do a soft reset of your phone. Many programs only pick up their registry settings when they start up and do not notice changes whle they are running, so a soft reset ensures that every program restarts and picks up any changes that have been made.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To change the softkeys on the Today screen
The left-hand softkey settings are at 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112', the right-hand softkey settings are at 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113'
The 'Default' string value can be changed to whatever text you wish to have displayed
The 'Open' string value can be changed to the program you wish to run when the softkey is pressed
For example, to change the left-hand softkey to start Pocket Excel you would set

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Pocket Excel
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = \windows\pxl.exe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To set or remove the operator phone skin
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin'
The 'Enabled' DWORD value can be set to '1' to show the operator skin or '0' to show the default skin
For example, to show the default skin

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To hide or show the GPS connection in the connections panel
The settings are at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings'
The 'Hide' DWORD value should be deleted to show the panel and 'x' to hide the panel
The 'Group' DWORD value should be set to '2' to show the panel and deleted to hide the panel
For example, to show the GPS connection in the connectionss panel

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Hide is deleted
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Group = 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To change the ability to receive files via Bluetooth (OBEX)
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex'
The 'IsEnabled' DWORD value should be set to '1' to enable OBEX and '0' to disable OBEX.
For example, to enable the ability to receive fles via Bluetooth

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To set the data connection to remain permanently on
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\(GPRS connection name)'

(GRPS connection name) is the name of your connection to the outside world
The 'AlwaysOn' DWORD value can be set to '1' to remain on permanently or '0' to turn on and off as required
For example, to set the data connection always on for a T-Mobile MDA Pro

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\T-Mobile Internet\AlwaysOn = 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To change the display of the screen rotation icon in the system tray
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION'
The 'HideOrientationUI' DWORD value can be set to '1' to hide the icon or '0' to show the icon
For example, to hide the screen rotation icon

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION\HideOrientationUI = 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MS Voice Command activation from BT headset:

Now this one is sweet and makes the JASJAR the daddy for voice commands.

Install Voice Command to the default location.
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand
Modify the string marked "path" from the default \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\?VoiceCMD.exe
Now, when you press your BT headset connect button, MS Voice command will fire up and take commands through the headset. It's reponses will be played through the headset too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Disable the Start Menu Animation

Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu key.
Set the "AniType" value data to 0 (Set to 6 to return to full animation).
Soft reset.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Enable Window Animation

Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE key.
Set the "Animate" value data to 1 (Set to 0 to return to no animation).
Soft reset.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change Pocket IE to IE Version 5.5 (For Secured Sites)

Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\ key.
Set the default value to "Mozilla/4.0" (Default is "Mozilla/2.0").
Set the "Version" value to "MSIE 5.5" (Default is "MSIE 3.02").
Set the "Platform" value to "Windows NT 5.0" (Default is "Windows CE").
This will only work on some secure sites that check version number rather than perform a check for support of secured transactions.

This registry hack will make Pocket Internet Explorer identify itself as IE 5.5 on Windows 2000. However it will prevent web sites that provide Pocket PC specific content to be able to know you're actually using a Pocket PC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Universal can't connect to Windows Server 2003--

Cant map to a Windows 2003 Server share? Is it also a Domain Controller? Check the server for

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allow the unsigned app from installing for everything.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Secutiry\Policies\Policies] Change value 0000101a from 0 to 1
Do a soft reset.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next few tweaks are covered in more detail in posts under the Universal forum. Search for the key if u need details
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change the date in the Titlebar

?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell "TBOpt"=hex:\

13,00,00,00

Change 3 as follows: 0:blank 1:time only 2:date only 3:date & time

Can someone figure out how to stop date line from being bold.

Combine this with follwoing to get a date that fits:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set short date format to something other than the limited list provided under settings>regional

?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides "SSDte"="d.M "

This gives 1-10 format with a space behind so that date is not cut off by OK button
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change fonts

Popup fonts:

?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt "Ht"dword:00000384 <-change this using a decimal editor. "Wt"=dword:000002bc "HtInPts"=dword:00000001 "CS"=dword:00000000 "It"=dword:00000000 "Nm""Tahoma"

Menubar fonts:

?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BarFnt "Ht"dword:00000384 "HtInPts"=dword:00000001 "CS"=dword:00000000 "Wt"=dword:000002bc "It"=dword:00000000 "Nm""Tahoma"

Change the Ht value. In a decimal editor the default is 900, and 700 works very nicely
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change system font

?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT "Ht"dword:00000384 "HtInPts"=dword:00000001 "CS"=dword:00000000 "Wt"=dword:00000190 "It"=dword:00000000 "Nm""Tahoma"

As above, decimal default is 900, I find anything less actually causes some poor layout in some apps - not worth playing with too much
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ringtone settings. Best to just export ur own settings and keep the .reg file. Read BA hacks for info on what the script decodes to

?HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0 "Sound""\\Windows\\?OldPhone .wma" "?SavedSound""\\Windows\\?OldPhone .wma" "Category""Ring" "Script""apw3r"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glyph cache size - changes refresh speed

?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE "limit"=dword:00002000

Change to 4000 to double default
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Terminal services cache size - makes a HUGE difference to black blocks

Default state: ?HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client "Keyboard Layout"="00000409" "BitmapPersistCacheSize"=dword:00000001 "BitmapCacheSize"=dword:00000015

Set to MS recommended: ?HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client "BitmapPersistCacheSize"dword:0000000a "BitmapCacheSize"=dword:000005dc "Keyboard Layout""00000409"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change the Dialler Skin to a pic you want!

HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\PROGRESS\portrait\other HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\PROGRESS\landscape\other

HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\DIALER\portrait\other HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\DIALER\landscape\other

value bmpNormal \Windows\BKGND_Port.bmp value bmpNormal \Windows\Bkgnd_Land.bmp

I resized the pic to the correct size and changed the keys to BKGND_Port1.bmp, rebooted.

Simple to do, and keeps your dialler in with your today screen
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
