Can anyone tell me how to put an icon for a program on the storage
card onto my menu? I have a program that I put on the storage card and
it gets old, when ever I want to run it I have to go into file
explorer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

In File Explorer,find the program and tap and hold on it's .exe file, then
select "copy."

Now navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, tap and hold on a blank area
and slect "paste shortcut."

You can use Start/Speed Dial to launch a program quick and easy.

I re-assigned the 'message' hard key to Voice Speed Dial. Now I just push
the always available hard key to launch Voice Control then speak the name of
the program to launch or person to call.

My only regret is I can't speak a specific note file in Notes like
'groceries', 'office supplies', etc.

I'm not familiar with Voice Control, but this trick works in MS Voice
Command, so you might try it:

VC lets you open any file in "Programs" or it's subfolders by saying "Open
(filename)" (i.e. "open Internet Explorer," "open Notes," etc. So to open a
Notes file, use File Manager to copy a _shortcut_ to the desired Note by
selecting "copy" in My Documents (or wherever you keep it) then "paste
shortcut" to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. (You might want to make a
subfolder called "Notes" in the Programs folder and stick the shortcuts
there to keep the programs folder "cleaner.")

Then rename the shortcut, removing the words "shortcut to," (so you don't
have to say "Open Shortcut to Groceries," but can just say "Open Gorceries"
instead.)

Obviously this'd be a lot of work to copy EVERY note into it's own shortcut,
but for the half dozen or dozen notes you access constantly, it's a real
timesaver.

Hopefully what ever voice software that comes with the Tilt can take
advantage of this trick. Good luck!
