One of the few things that initially annoyed me about the T-Mobile Dash was its Start Menu. The operating system put stuff at the top of the menu that I didn’t care about, like:
- Communications Manager
- Email Setup Utility
- Other things that you use once and then pay little attention to
And, new programs that I added to the Dash, such as Agenda One and Documents To Go and SKTools Lite, showed at or near the bottom. Hence I had to scroll through several items to get the programs I wanted.
While not a huge issue, especially since recently run programs are put at the top of the screen, it was an annoyance every time I restarted the device or when I wanted to launch a program I hadn’t recently launched.
I tried using File Explorer to create some new folders and rearrange items within them, but found that it wouldn’t let me cut and paste the built-in programs.
But, I found the perfect utility to address this issue: Jeyo Personalizer. It does just what I need, and it’s Free.
My hunch is that the Start Menu problem is not limited to the Dash: I suspect it is a result of the Smartphone operating system. Hence, users of all Smartphones might also benefit from this utility. I do not know this to be a fact, but it doesn’t hurt to check it out.
By the way, when I first ran it, the operating system displayed a message that the software was designed for an earlier operating system and might not work. But, it works just fine.
A final “by the way” on this: in searching for this utility, I discovered that one can accomplish the same thing by changing some registry settings. Even though I am experienced in changing registry settings, there is always risk associated with doing so, so I decided to just let the utility do the work for me.
