  2. Is there shortcuts that can be pinned to the home-screen for disabling mobile-network, WiFi and GPS to save battery?

    No. there is no such feature as of right now, nor do i see it in the foreseeable feature. My understanding is that even if the feature is turned on, unless a specific application or os request request access to the chip the polling time is severely reduce.
    example if you are using bing maps the gps chip will then have its polling time set to about 10 - 100 ms once the app quits the pooling time increases to a couple of minutes to make sure chip is active. think of this as a keep-alive timer. Same goes with wifi.
    In-fact with my hd7 i have seen that unless i am using data over wireless whether its on or off i only see a very slight difference in battery use, i am talking about an extra 5 - 15 mins of overall battery usage per day.



    Hope this helps. And i get where you are coming from being used to the sense u.i in windows mobile 6.5 / android its one of those useful features where the os did not handle those chips properly.

    Can a batch file be pinned to the taskbar?

    You'll need to create a shortcut of the batch file with the prefix explorer.exe

    You can just drag it to the taskbar.

    Put the batch file somewhere it won't get moved.
    Shift/Right click it, Copy as Path, paste that in a new shortcut dialog but add the prefix explorer.exe and a space

    Example: explorer.exe "C:\Z Pack\Context BAT\Load_x64.bat"

    drag that to the taskbar, delete the shortcut if you wish.

  13. Can a batch file be pinned to the taskbar?

    The fastest and easiest way to pin a .bat file to the task bar is to rename the .bat file to .exe and then drag it to the task bar. Finally, you must rename the .exe back to bat on the original file, and right click on the taskbar shortcut and click preferences and rename back to .bat You can also change the icon in the shortcut preferences.
