WinPilot shorts on PocketPC screen

[[email protected]]

I sent this question to the associated vendors but being a little
pressed for time due to glider delivery I thought I'd try it here.

After I installed WinPilot Pro on an iPAQ 3955 (running PocketPC 2002
Premium) I had the two large shortcuts on the screen for WinPilot PRO
and WinPilot PRO Simulator. I then installed ConnectLX, after which
the WinPilot shortcuts were removed, replaced only by a ConnectLX
shortcut.

Does anyone know how I can get the WinPilot shortcuts back?

Advance thanks

The same thing happens with Connect Me.

then check the box in front of WinPilot to select what you want to show
up on the "Today" screen

After that, you have to reset the PDA (stylus in the reset hole) to get
the change to take effect. Works for me.

Try the reset on the back of the PDA. It is usually a small hole which
accepts a ball point pen tip. Until I did this, I was not aware that the
two large shortcuts existed.

Paul,

I was aware of having to do the reset, and did have the large icons
after I did so. But the icons went away after I installed ConnectLX. I
re-installed WinPilot, did a soft reset, had the icons back, ran
ConnectLX, and the icons were gone again.

Not a real big deal but when you're sitting in the cockpit and you want
to fire up the WinPilot it's a lot easier with those icons!

It only works one time. Each time I run ConnectLX, the WinPilot icons
disappear and the WinPilot item shows up deselected in the
Start.Settings.Today.Items list.

I think this may be a PocketPC 2002 thing ... I don't have this problem
on my PocketPC 2003 iPAQ ...

I had the same problem. Resetting did not bring them back. What worked was to
reconnect to my PC via the serial cable and the two icons returned to the
Today screen. Dont know why, but I am not complaining.
