Icon3 Shortcuts: WiFi Toggle & Running Applications

I created a couple of useful shortcuts and thought i would share them. In the attached zip file you will find:

Running Apps.lnk and Wireless.lnk

The running apps shortcut opens the memory applet directly to the 3rd tab so you can switch tasks and end programs.

The wireless shortcut is a direct toggle on\off. So you assign it to a hardware button and have push for on, push for off operation.

Both shortcuts have an icon (WM5 Only. Not tested under PPC03). Here is the code for the shortcuts for reference...

Code:
0#\Windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,4,2?ceshell.dll,-13900
29#"\Windows\WirelessOnOff.exe"?wirelessicon.exe,-105

Put them in...
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

If you want them in the Start menu then: \Windows\Start Menu\

Then tap Start, Settings, Buttons. You can reassign the WiFi button. In the list of programs\actions select "Wireless". So when you press your WiFi button it will turn it on without a prompt. Pressing the button again will turn it off without prompt.

Say, do you think you could do a BT version either for the WM stack or the Widcomm? It'd be nice to be able to active and deactivate BT for use with headsets and mice and the like without having to go through the BT icon on the task tray...

Not very related to the topic, but may I ask where can I find resources about icons in WM5? I am looking for ways to change the icon of .lnk files.

Attached is a zip file with all the icons I have found so far. About 40.

In the zip you'll see LNK files. You cant see the icons on your pc but if you copy the files to your device storage card, the icons will be visible.

Now let me explain the naming and file contents... Example:

Code:
File: ceshell 13840.lnk
Contains: 0#peghelp.exe?ceshell.dll,-13840

0#peghelp.exe? is just to complete the shortcut for testing purposes.
ceshell.dll,-13840 is the resource for the icon.
I might have explained too much or maybe not enough. Either way sorry about that
