Adding program links to the today screen

Hi all

I'm sure this can't be that difficult, but how do you add a link to the today screen for a programme that you have installed on the x50 PPC? This would avoid having to open the start menu, then click on the program and save.... only a few valuable seconds!

I've looked all over the PPC and can't figure it out, also can't find any threads on the subject on the forum.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You'll need an add-on program like iLauncher or something comparable. Those place icons on the screen that you can tap to start up your favorites.

Yes for some reason microsoft made the today screen different than your desktop. But there are 3rd party apps.

Claunch is great. You can customize the size of the icons, add text, custom icon files, etc and its free:

I tried installing claunch on my axim x51. I couldn't get it to work, my device says that the file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file. Any ideas?
