WINDOWS FOLDER Not VISIBLE

Anyone know how to make the Windwos folder vivible so I can easily get to the RINGS folder fron Explore in ActiveSync. It's marked as hidden and a system folder in RESCO EXPLORER. When I uncheck the boxes in Properties and go back in to look they have not changed. Does anyone know if there is another registry setting to make this viible?
Ta!

Windows folder is always visible, the last folder under My Device is Windows and it definitely is not hidden,anyway which rom are you using?

Using the standard ROM from Orange and it's definitely NOT visiable from within explorer on my PC...it is from the Trinity but its attibutes are hidden and that's why the PC cannot see it. And as I said if I change the attibs and take the HIDDEN off... it puts it back on again (or doesn't take it off)

You cannot change the attributes of the windows folder.
If you change the explorer settings on the PC so as to display hidden files and folders, then you will be able to see it.

Dohh! Stupid me of course..THANKS!!!
As you've been so helpfull....any ideal how I can get a version of Task Magaer on my Trinity. Orange doesn't supply one. Someone posted a CAB they had extracted on here for me that other day. It loaded OK but did not close down the programs only left them in the background as does the OK button???

Problems with 5 tab home plugin

Hi to everyone,
I just installed HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.5Tab.schen.cab and I renamed right dll (I have an italian wm6).
All ok, home plugin appears but... I can't add items to favorite people or launcher. I tried with 3 tabs version and seems all ok: I can add shortcuts to launcher simply tapping on an empty space. With 6 version if I do the same thing, nothing happens. I can only delete items...
Anyone with same problem and hopefully with a solutino?

I had the same issue. Then I have installed the touch plugin.
However if someone has any solutions regarding this....

nobody has any solutions for this issue ?

did rename all theese?
HTCHome.dll.0409.mui -> HTCHome.dll.0414.mui
HTC HDlg.exe.0409.mui ->HTC HDlg.exe.0414.mui
HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml -> HH_0414_WeatherCities.xml
htcbtql.dll.0409.mui -> htcbtql.dll.0414.mui
(0414 is norwegian countrycode ofcourse, yours needs to be the italian....ofcourse )
If not there is a whole bunch of HTC home plugins, why not give them a try?
I use the HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen.cab without any problems after renaming the .dll, .mui and the .xml files
besides, try use total commander for editing.
Another thing worth noticing is that all files in windows folder are read-only, and you cant change or edit them...
But, if you use total commander, then go to your windows dir, select all files within the win folder, go to properties, then uncheck the read-only box.
Then you can in.ex change the windows boot screen (not the splash from HTC) you can edit the welcomehead.png and be able to replace the original with your new one

Ok for the moment I have the HTC home of the THT Touch.
I will remove it and install the kaiser plugin again
(I use Resco explorer)

Ok I have installed a new time the kaiser plugin and rename all the files.
That is working correctly now
Thanks a lot itje

no problem, glad I can help out, allthoug I did only point out what someone else has figured out
btw, I cant get the kaiser 10 button to work, I get that the file dont have the permissions to install, even though i disable com manager, but I got the 8 button touch com to work, its good enough for the time beeing

yes, there were some other files to rename. Thx

I now have 2 calculators- how to delete 1?

Okay, after doing a hard reset, and restoring from sprite- I now have 2 calculators under programs. calulator, and calculator (1). how do i get rid of the second one- they both work btw.

I have the same issue. I took care of it before by navigating to a folder \windows but I cant seem to remember the folder.
If you find it, you will simply see 2 icons, delete the one with the (1) attached to it.
Let me know the directory please, I cant find it and my windows load time is long.

Should be windows\start menu\

I don't have any calculators in the Programs folder - where in the \Windows directory does the shortcut point to?

Just subtract
two
minus
one
equal
One.

yeah, it was there, it makes it easier to find, if you change the sort paramater to type.

I had this problem after doing a sprite back up as well, only my tilt changed the file explorer into the second calculator link. I had no way of getting in to try to fix it because I couldn't access file explorer to change it. I ended up doing a hard reset back to stock settings to get my file explorer back.

Lost file associations

My phone doesnt know how to open JPEGs. Even though i in Advanced Config told it to open with pimg.exe, i assume thats the picture and videos tool? What can i do to get the normal file asso's back, is there a "default" button somewhere?

Go to
Hkey_Classes_Root\.jpeg
Default =jpegimage
Content Type=Image/jpeg
Perceivedtype=image
Hkey_Classes_Root\.jpg
Default =jpegimage
Content Type=Image/jpeg
Perceivedtype=image
Hope this help

Thanks alot, im gonna look into that later! Thank you

Hi hope you could help me too
when i click the mp3 files from the file explorer they are not playing and it asks something related to the certificates. The error also advises to install the file again.
It is however functioning well when opened in the Win Medial Player. I all started when i uninstalled the Coreplayer and deleted the installer files.
Please help me.
Thanks.

I had a similar problem with .mp3 association, fixed it partly with "Total Commander".
However, I still cannot use .mp3 files as ringtones.....

I have found this solution
Use a registry editor, then locate:
1) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3 - Default = WMAFile
2) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\DefaultIcon - Default = wmplayer.exe,-2001
3) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\Shell\Open\command - Default = wmplayer.exe "%1"
last two entries might already be present in ur registry in that case u just need to change the first one.
============================\
I found this solution on research from the net however i have not tested it yet i left my diamond at home. I am not sure also where do i run the regedit. Is it through the pocket pc itself or in a computer (using regedit) when the diamond is connected?
Pls. let me know if this does the fix for you just in case.

Man, you're AMAZING!!!
IT WORKED !!!
I only needed to change No 1 !!
WOW
No2 in my diamond was "-2002", no need to change that. Just changed number 1 and voila...
MP3 RINGTONES AGAIN !!
Could someone add "SOLVED" on the title?

Registry Editing Question
Hi Garret, it's great news that you have solved your problem. I have one question though... where do i edit the registry file and how to do it? I hav tried connecting it to my computer and running regedit, however i was not able to see the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3 of my device.
Sorry for the newbie question.
Thank you.

How to Change File Associations in WM 6.1

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.

I tried to install FEE on my WM6.1 smartphone (non touchscreen) but it gives an error and won't install saying it's not designed for my device.
Has anyone found a way to install it, or found a similar free product to change file extensions?

Schap's Advanced Config can also change file associations, as can Total Commander.

There's any way to Vito SMS chat instead default WM app for SMS managemment ?

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.
