Customising the UIQ3 web browser homepage

Now i thought this sounded relitivley easy but it turned out to be a bit of a fiddle. the steps explaind below are how i got it working on my p1:
-First i downloaded the mod from HERE (you need to be a member of ipmart to see it, it's worth it!) -Then i set to work carfully following the steps (Thanks to sh.a.rk for this)

1. Create dir c:/Shared/sp/

2. Paste Index.htm to this folder

The original description was not very coherent so i fiddled and this is what is did:

-Copied the file 10205afa.cre (from the download .zip) to c:\Private\10202be9\persists\ (this deletes all original bookmarks)

-Open the browser
(this forces the browser to make a new home page in ram @ z:/private/100051e6/startpage/index.htm)

-Close the browser (completly) -using X-plore edit the file c:\Private\10202be9\persists\10205afa.cre and within this file do a search for z:/private/100051e6/startpage/index.htm change this to file://localhost/c:/Shared/sp/index.htm

If you copy the html from your favorite web site and save it as index.htm in this folder it now becomes your home page. cool huh! Now this essentially tells the browser to look into the c drive for the file instead of ram, i had some teething problems and found that instead of the folder in c:\ being sp i called it strat page and it worked like a dream. screen shots of my configuration below\\//
