I would like to adjust the items in the HTCHomeplugin but I don't see how I can.

I have tried SPB instead but it just makes things too cluttered. My OCD is kicking in I guess :).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you referring to the Home plugin with the big clock or the small one with the battery, comm manager etc on it?

I am referring to the row on the hompage that has the battery, new message, orientation links. THere are about 4-5 quicklaunch buttons. Was wondering if there was a way to change the hotlinks to something more useful.

ok, I was looking for an answer to that very question also. I got a ton of replies to use the HTC Home customizer but that is for the one with the large digital clock.

I haven't heard of anything in specific for editing that program. What exactly do you want to have for buttons because there is probably something out there that will do what you want.

I was searching for that exact same thing today and actually found the answer... Of course it is all about registry tweaks! I copied and pasted the info from another forum and feel bad that i dont know who to give the credit to...

"Yes this is possible

It is not hard, but you need to change the registry.
Open the register with a register editor (I use Total Commander).
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\.

You will find two maps (2, 3).
If you want to create a new shortcut add a new key (name it "4" ).
In the key you need to add:
a string LaunchApPath -> point this string to the program
a string ResPath -> point this to the program or dll that contains the icon
a dword iconindex -> some executable files and dll's contain serveral icons. The normal value is 0, but it depends on the exe/dll file.
Example for adding Internet Explorer button.
Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\\windows\\iexplore.exe"
"LaunchApPath"="\\windows\\iexplore.exe"
