    URI Scheme reference to always open Settings App on Home page


    Using "ms-settings:", in the Run command, this opens the Settings App to its Home page. After, if I use "ms-settings:bluetooth", the same Settings App will be redirected to its Bluetooth page. If I want to go back to Settings Home Page using a URI Scheme, "ms-settings:" does nothing. Therefore I'm assuming that "ms-settings:" is used only to open the Settings App, not to redirect it to its Home Page. I've looked everywhere, and I can't find a URI Scheme that will do this.Is there a URI Scheme that can redirect the Settings App to its Home Page? Redirect the Settings App when it's already runni

  2. Custom accent color and theme settings uri scheme

    Hi,



    I am new developer to Windows phone 8. I plan to develop apps to customize accent colors other than predefined 20 colors. Can someone please help me to achieve this. And I read about some pre-defined uri-scheme also. But I cant found uri-scheme for theme
    settings. Can someone kindly provide the uri-scheme for this or else please tell the alternate way to launch theme settings window from my app on button click.

  3. URI Schemes from microsoft apps don´t match in two of them

    I was researching some information about URI schemes in iana.org. Then I found out that there are many schemes from microsoft registered with the owner
    [urischemeowners_at_microsoft.com] however there are two of them apparently from microsoft, at least the properties say so, but owner is [Alexey_Melnikov], wich is also owner ot other URL schemes apparently not related to microsoft. For example:

    [table][tr][td]ms-help[/td][td]prov/ms-help[/td][td]ms-help[/td][td]Provisional[/td][td]-[/td][td][Alexey_Melnikov][/td][/tr][/table]

    Page URL is the following:

    Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Schemes

    Question is: Is this normal? Does it represent a risk for our security or privacy?

    Thanks in advance.

    URI Scheme reference to always open Settings App on Home page

    What's the URI command to open "App volume and device preferences" in Settings?

    For example, ms-settings:sound, opens "Sound". ms-settings:display opens "Display". There are many such URI commands.

    I want to create a shortcut which will open the "App volume and device preferences" page. Every forum I've looked at so far lists
    ms-settings:apps-volume as the URI command which will open that page, but it just doesn't work. It doesn't work at all. So what's the right command? There has to be a command.
