Settings

Starting with iContact v0.8, a settings editor is included in the standard distribution so that there is no longer any need to manually edit any *.ini files. You can access the iContact settings in your phone’s control panel. The settings app has the same touch-scroll usability features as iContact.

The settings icon is installed in “WindowsStart MenuSettings”. This will work for English phones but Microsoft has not provided a language localized path for this, so non-English phones may find it under “Settings” folder in the start menu.

Modifying Settings

All settings can be manually set in the registry. To edit the registry, I recommend FdcSoft Task Manager. All settings are stored in this registry path:
