Sorry if this has already been covered but I didn't get any hits searching for it.
When I used WM5 I could always read and edit NOTES from the PDA on the PC using MS Word, I just double clicked the file and it opened in Word as an INK file, but since upgrading to the Kaiser this is no longer possible with a double click, I now have to open word first then open a .PWI file?
Does anyone else have this problem?
Sorry if this is covered by another thread. My search did not give me those data.

I could never read notes in my PC except by putting them on the main memory and syncing to Outlook.
I discovered I can copy the notes (PWI) to a folder in my old PC (XP) and double-click them to be open in Word, but nothing happens.
On my new PC, (Vista) they are unrecognised, directly, so the type of file is not supported by any app.
But today I could open a TextMaker empty session (I use SoftMaker office for working in my PPC and also have the version for PC) and then I dropped into it one of my notes stored in a folder in my PC. It opened well and I could read it. I think it does not support images, as I had some problems to read/copy/paste info from a blank note which had a small text and a drawing.
If this works, this helps not to synch the notes from a storage card, but for reading them if they're copied to the PC.
You can make ActiveSync automatically convert .pwi files to .txt or .rtf by opening ActiveSync, and selecting Tools > Advanced Tools > Edit File Conversion Settings. In the 'Device to Desktop' tab, select 'InkWriter/Note Taker/Notes Document', click Edit, and change the format to .txt or .rtf.
amikula THANKS to your post I finally solved my problems!! thanks!!!
Could you please tell us aswell how you solved the problem. Thx
just as amikula said!Thanks great solution.Thank you!!!
Hey all. I have changed to a HTC phone that doesn't have .pwi files. I still need to read/convert my HTC HD .pwi files. I am on Windows 7. Anyone?

Not installing it until they have a signed version like the http://mini.opera.com/beta ones.
Maybe it's just me but honestly i see no difference between 4.0 and 4.1...

What's the importance of having a signed one? I've been using the unsigned 4.1 beta since it came out and I've had no problems.

There are several differences. They have them listed somewhere... The main one I noticed in my short time with it was the inclusion of a "synchronize" feature, which syncs bookmarks and some other stuff with their servers. If you use the new beta for desktop machines, it syncs with their servers, too, so your PC Opera and Opera Mobile/Mini are up to date with eachother. Kinda like Microsoft Exchange for web browsing stuff.
Yeah but i dont really use that feature. The one thing i can say is I like the search in page feature.

Upgraded this morning. Upgrade process was fine...kept bookmarks and settings....I see no problems.
.....and there are differences in 4.1.....most notably, being able to download files without calling upon IE......and it's also supposedly up to 50% faster (which basically just means it could be 1% faster on 99% of the web, but if it happens to be 50% on the other 1%.....then it is "up to" 50% faster in general).

unassigned asks you everytime when you want to go online for net access. Plus whenever you want to save something to file system using browser it asks you permission to access file system.
Signed version only asks these questions at install and never after that
Upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1 without any problems, kept all my settings and bookmarks also. Did find it took a little while to upgrade so be patient

They do, they just messed up the links so you might have to click around, unless they fixed that problem.
can it do copy and paste?

The startoperamini thread includes a mortscript which launches opera for you in one step..no need to open java manually first. You can however create a shorcut that calls the java exe and tells it what midlet to launch...should be more info available via search.
The script is alot easier.
Which version of opera 4.1 is better for the Tilt?
I looked at the available HTC models, the Tilt doesn't appear there.
Thank you.

You cannot start it outside of Java but at least you can start it with one click. Just create a link file and put:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
in it (where 28 is the number of characters and 0 the number of the installed java app.... so they may vary)
put this file in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and there you go.
No need for an extra step.

I tried the previous(generic) version
And it didn't work.
I asked the question because supposedly there're 2 versions, one is a signed version, the other unsigned.
Further, when I had my HW6910, there were a high-memory version and a "regular" version, and the "regular" version didn't work.
Here is the procedure that I followed for my 4.0 (I also upgraded to 4.1 last evening, everthing is OK). The procedure below works fine, no need to have MortScript and such.
Then you can replace the IE button with that shortcut!
However, I have not tried the selector.utf trick yet (again, it works with the 4.0). I use the "Fix.exe" (attached) to remove that security prompts. Just copy the selector.utf in the same folder, and run that Fix.exe (Make a backup of the utf file first!).
Here is the reference:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html
Making a direct shortcut to Opera Mini (or any other Java Midlet)
Since Opera Mini is a Java Midlet application, one annoying aspect is that to run Opera Mini, you must first run the Java Midlet, tap on the "Applications" list item, then tap on the "Opera Mini 4 beta" item. Luckily, some industrious users out there have figured out how to create a shortcut that launches Opera Mini (or any other Java app) directly. Assuming you haven't installed any other Java apps, you need to create a shortcut file (e.g., opera.lnk) pointing to ("\windows\jeodek.exe" -run s1_), or ("\windows\jbed.exe -run s1_"), if using Jbed instead.
The magic portion is the number after the the letter "s" in the shortcut target. This is the list position of the Java Midlet in the Jeodek/Jbed application list. If you install Jeodek/Jbed as a fresh install (non Mogul users), and then directly install Opera Mini, just use the number "0" to refer to Opera Mini ("\windows\jbed.exe -run s0_"). If you install another MIDlet (after Opera Mini), its index will become 1, then the next installed Midlet will have an index of 2, and so on.
Locating the number that corresponds to a Java Midlet
To find which number corresponds to an installed Java Midlet, navigate to the (windows\appdb) folder. There should be some .jar files in there, with one of them being the Opera Mini jar file (or other Java Midlet you wish to target). Whatever the number is after the letter "s", is the number needed in your shortcut link. Only the first part of the file name of the midlet is needed, so lets say, in the appdb folder, you have "s0_suite.jar", for your shortcut target, leave out the suite.jar, and only put "s0_", so your shortcut should point to ("\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_), NOT ("\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_suite.jar). A pre-made shortcut file can be found here.
Creating/Modifying Shortcuts on Your Mobile Device
The following lists a couple of ways to create edit/create shortcuts with parameters on a mobile device.
1.) Use the excellent shareware application, Resco Explorer (the method I personally use, and find the easiest).
2.) Create the shortcut manually using any text editor. Shortcuts have the file extension ".lnk". So, for example, lets create a file in a text editor, and save it with the file name OperaMini.lnk, the contents of the file should look similar to this :
Code:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
28# means that the shortcut target, including the parameter (-run s0_) is 28 characters.
Note: A forum user has reported that the freeware application, Total Commander does NOT create the shortcut properly.
After you have created/named the shortcut, all that is left to do is to place the shortcut file in your start menu (\windows\start menu\programs) folder.
Skipping the Connection Permission Prompt (Only applies to JBed)
One of the only negatives of using Jbed, over Jeodek, used to be that any time an application wanted to access to the Internet, Jbed would ask twice if you want to allow the action. It will also forget this permission next time you ran the application, so you would have to give permission every time you ran a Midlet that tried to access the Internet. Thanks to forum user g-funkster, a work around for this annoyance has been found!
1.) Copy the file \windows\appdb\selector.utf to your PC (make sure backup this file first in case something goes wrong!)
2.) Remove read-only attribute
3.) Open the file with a hex editor, and find the line
Code:
domain=untrusted, \
Replace the text untrusted with the text tckmax. Add space characters between the x (in tckmax) and the comma (otherwise connection warnings or a nullpointerexception error may occur). The above line may appear multiple times in the "selector.utf" file, each corresponds to a different Java Midlet you have installed in JBed.
If hex editing is too blackhat for you, g-funkster has created a desktop application that can do this for you automatically! You can find it here.

Just had a look at the Opera Mini website linked above. Does anyone know if the Esmertec Jbed Midlet manager supports this JSR-75 protocol? At the moment, I am using the Mortscript method to allow opening of links in emails etc in Opera, but direct downloads through Opera sounds very good!
Yes, it does.

I've installed 50+ applications on my new HTC kaiser (which runs WM6.1 OS), its getting a little bit embarrassed because its very hard to pick a program up from the sea of icons.
Is there any way could possibly sort applications into different folders? (e.g. all gps applications go to a "gps" folder, all instant msg applications into a "IM" folder?)
btw, Is it possible to create a shortcut for the "green" application in the "programs" page(no installation needed, just run it in the file explorer) ?
thanks in advance!

You can add as many folders as you want. Just use a decent file explore & create as many new folders as you want in \windows\start menu\programs
Then cut & paste the shortcuts located in \windows\start menu\programs into the new folders...
I have many programs & my programs page has about 7 folders. You can even add custom folders & Icons by adding a resource file & a ?xxxxxx location direction command to the end of links....
For instance I have in my start menu a Phone & Messaging folder with all my phone & mressaging apps. Another for Multimedia.
got it!!!!!
Big thanks to *legendary* GSLEON3!
Legendary??? Well, ok, I guess in my own mind at least...
I'm nobody, Just a guy that can read & has been around long enough to know that you will learn more reading old Blue Angel & Hermes threads than you will anywhere else. Sure, most of the stuff won't work on Kaiser, but all of our tools & methods are adopted from there. The theory behind everything lies in those old threads.
I recently upgraded my Acrobat Reader without uninstalling the former version. Everything worked fine. Then I uninstalled the old version and it seems to have taken the file association for PDFs along with it. While looking for a solution, I found a lot of complicated schemes to modify the registry (no thanks), install a tweak program and do it from there (better, but why complicate things), etc. But it was actually quite simple. So for anyone who's in a similar predicament...
Here's how to set a file association in WM 6.1:
1. Open File Explorer and find a file of the type you want to associate to an app.
2. Hold down the stylus on the file name for a couple seconds (til you get the context menu) and choose "Open with program..."
3. Choose a program from the list on the top part of the resulting window, then check the box labeled "Associate selected Program with this file type."
4. Hit Open.
5. You may get a message to overwrite current association if there was a previous app associated with the file type, chances are you'll want to go ahead and overwrite so it will remember the association you prefer.
You're done!
This works great if you want to open some multimedia files with one program and others with a different program. For instance, I couldn't get Media Player to open my .AVI files, but it was the default association, now I set .AVIs to TCPMP and all is working great! ( I know TCPMP is one of the few programs that lets you set the association, this is just an example - and it was actually easier doing it as described above!)
That menu option's not there
I've got 6.1, but "open with program" is not a choice that pops up. I looked under properties, and it's not there either. Are you using a 3rd party file explorer?
You need File Explorer Extension, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421723&highlight=file+explorer
Nice!
Thanks for the tip!
I have a several different media players, and this is just what I needed to choose which program opens what file type.
Thanks again!
Thanks guys, really good software that complement very well the unfinished software of Microsoft..
Great for removing the "DocsToGo" association!
I was really getting sick of being unable to open email attachments because I didn't choose to shell out for the DocsToGo bloatware on my AT&T Fuze. Great fix!
Thanks!!!!

Thanks for the software but there is a problem
The file explorer is amazing. But I am facing a problem. I have an HTC Touch 3G running windows mobile 6.1. When I use this file explorer to change the file association, it successfully changes. However, the icon of the program it is associated with doesn't appear on the left of the file name. Only the windows icon appears to the left of the file name. However whenever I click on the file, it does open with the required software/player. But because the icon of the file type it is associated with does not display, it becomes slightly confusing for me to make out with which software will it open.
Thanking you in anticipation for the help!!
thanks a lot
FExplorer ext is a gr8 tool. It solved my file association problem for .jpg files.
Thank a lot again.

Thank you
very very thnx to you
still not the correct icons ?
same as @sahilhshah.
Changing the file associations in either described way is working fine. But the icons are still the windows system icons.
Interestingly viewing the icons from the files which are not corrected to the specific program icon, in the taskmanager, I can see the right icons.
Any ideas?
Using Total Commander for Pocket PC u can change file association and file icon as well, it will be coresponding to specified program. Just give it a try
(That's my firsth post on this great forum )
Hi people.
Could you help me? I tried to change the file association, as explained, but my phone isn't touch screen (is a Samsung Jack) and the File Explorer Extension doesn't work.
Someone know a way for change the file association on Win 6.1?
I lost the association when try Foxit pdf reader. Now I have to open the Adobe PDF fist and open the file by the program (I already uninstall the Foxit).
Thanks in advanced.

Ive installed the latest opera beta and used various aps to have the new version of the browser (not the one that came with the phone) launch from the touchflo3d menus. However, it still seems to be displaying the bookmarks from the old opera, when I edit bookmarks in the new beta they don't display on the browser touchflo tab.
For now, I copied the opera6.adr file from the beta 9.5 application data folder and overwrote the .adr file in the windows programs directory where the standard opera that came with the phone stores its files.
However, is there a registry edit or app that will allow me to edit the path to the bookmarks file that touchflo uses in its interface?

Hi!
I had this problem and eventually found that it is hard-coded in one of the LUA scripts. Sorry, don't know which one from memory. I tried decompiling this script, but I could not get it compliled again - even without changing a character.
So I'm sorry to say that you can't do it that way.
There IS however something you can try:
Open Opera and type opera:config in the title bar.
Under "Saved Settings" and "User Prefs" there's a bunch of paths you can modify.
You might try the "Opera Directory" path under "User Prefs".
Hope this helps.
From a quick look at the first-boot-scripts it seems that the opera6.adr file is placed eventually in \windows\opera9\opera6.adr.
The default bookmarks are cooked in in a file \windows\_opera6.adr and when you first turn on your phone it copies / moves the file to \windows\opera9\opera6.adr. The path also comes up while searching through several _manila files so that also seems to be the location where TouchFlo is looking for the bookmarks.
If you want that Internet tab to be integrated with _another_ browser you have a lot of Decompiling, recompiling, editing of LUA code and hex-editing work to.
Changing browser to point to Opera Mobile 9.5 beta
Someone else posted this & I copied into a Word doc, so I apologize for not giving proper credit:
All you need to do is to modify a file named “InternetPortal-en-US.xml” which is located in \Application Data\Manila. Use the freeware application Total Commander to navigate to this file and once you locate it press the pen/paper icon on the bottom of the page and that will open the file on the screen so you can edit it. Just so everyone knows, we’re not tweaking the registry here. I’m just using Total Commander because it is more powerful than File Explorer so don’t be afraid of it
Ok, once the file is open in Total Commander just add one of the following lines after the line <InternetPortal> which is towards the top:
Opera is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
mobile\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
Internet Explorer is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
SkyFire is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\skyfire\skyfire.exe</BrowserExe>
Iris is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\iris browser\irisbrowser.exe</BrowserExe>
I installed Opera Mobile 9.5 beta to my storage card, so my new path is:
<BrowserExe>\storage card\program files\opera
*Note if you can't save your changes - make sure that the file isn't set on "read only" (click the hand holding the paper icon and uncheck the "read only" box. You may have to click twice to remove the setting)
Yeah I do not see that file anywhere
I have the Sprint branded HTC Diamond and the \Application Data\Manila folder does not exist, I am using Total Commander.

I saw this as a solution to make 9.5 default if you lose 9.5 as the default browser. Are you saying if I upgraded to 9.7 beta, this process will make my 9.7 bookmarks the bookmarks in the TF3D internet tab?
