A quick bugfix for iPAQ 21x users
By Werner Ruotsalainen, Submitted Friday, May 2, 2008
You’ll almost surely encounter problems with the Wireless tab after some (NOT all!) resets: it simply doesn’t display the Bluetooth tab:
Fixing this is fairly easy if you already have SKTools on your PDA (if you don’t, consider purchasing it – it’s really worth it!), click Category (left softkey) and select Maintenance (this isn’t needed; just helps to find the menu easier); then, select Windows Startup:
You’ll see a list of the programs started; one of them we need will be BTTrayCE.lnk:
and the other is iPAQWireless.lnk:
Now, with the latter, select Action / Order / Down (screenshot HERE) continuously, until its “Order” no longer increases; in the following screenshot, it got 11 (on your PDA, it’ll almost surely be something else):
And, with the former (BTTrayCE.lnk), do exactly the opposite: highlight it and select Action / Order / Up repeatedly:
until its order reaches 1:
Now, you’re ready – from now on, you’ll always have the BT icon in the Wireless applet.
Note that, unlike with MemMaid, the trial version of SKTools only displays six items of any list. This mean you can’t use it to quickly do this hack. If you absolutely don’t want to pay for SKTools (I definitely would! And have already done…), go for MemMaid following juttonn’s post linked to below – it lets for doing this hack using the trial.
