Try to do with Total Commander, GSFinder or Resco Explorer.
Cheers.

I copied the file to my desktop using Active Sync, did the editing and overwrote the original using Active Sync.
I could not edit the file on the Kaiser no matter what program I tried.

WM6 Camera.lnk File

I screwed up my camera.lnk file trying to change the properties so that it is not hidden. Could somebody please post it so that I do not need to do a fresh install? Thanks in advance. It is in the Windows directory.
if you copy the actual camera.exe you can paste it as a shortcut, thus creating "camera.lnk"

To create a shortcut, right click the file and choose create shortcut. the way i do it is plug the phone into the computer browse to it via the activesync window and then right click and choose create shortcut.
That was my first thought as well, but when I search for the camera ap, I can't find it (camera.exe does not exist).

oh shoot... i forgot in the orwells version that camera.exe is hidden. you would have to use total commander to view the hidden camera.exe then change the attributes and make it visible and then copy to make the shortcut file.
my mistake

Cool. Do you have a link to Faria's camera app?
I have the same problem. I have camera.lnk but no camera.exe.
Checked where the camera.lnk points. It points to pimg.exe which brings the pictures and videos screen.
Does any one have camera.exe?

Could you please rephrase your post? Are you saying that you cannot read txt files after you have done a hard-reset and then restore your backup?
Exactly this is the case - I do a hard-reset and I can read the txt files - than I run my backup and I can`t read the txt file and the word programm is gone !!!

I think there are two things happening. First, when you restore your previous backup, the txt file association to Word is gone. You can fix this by changing the registry or using one of the tools like SKTools. As far as Word being gone, I think it's just that the shortcut is gone. You can create a new shortcut to \windows\pword.exe and it should work.
Sherpa, thanks so much- the last thing I did already but can you describe in detail how to and where to do the change in the registry with sktools ?
I do not know to change the registry - could you pls tell me where and what in concret ???
peter7 said:

The keys you need to modify are:
\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\Open\Command\Default (change the string value to pword.exe %1)
\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\OpenDoc\Command\Default (change the string value to pword.exe -opendoc %1)
Sherpa - I don`t have the "txtfile" - so do I have to add it ? but how ???
or could you export the two files for me and I just import them - will that work ???
Thanks a lot !!!

I have attached a zip file. Copy the two files included in the zip file and just execute both of them (tap or double-tap). Then, confirm that you want to add these keys. Once added, hold your power button until you get the prompt to turn off your phone. Do this (ie. turn off your phone) and then turn it back on. That should be it.
Many thanks I will try !
I extracted the files under windows but it didn`t work ???

Does it not prompt you to add the keys when you click on the individual REG file?
no it does not
Both files are under windows

You can extract the two files anywhere. Just like how you would tap on a program to execute, you would do the same with these two files. Try extracting these files on your desktop first and then copy the individual files to your device. If tapping does not prompt you to add the keys then try Resco Registry or SKTools to import the keys.
finally it worked - thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Registry Editor for ATT tilt

Guys,
I have tried to install PHM Registry Editor, i used the desktop installer and that did not work. Can someone please point me to the correct cab file i need to use for wm6.
Thank you.
http://www.techspot.com/downloads/301-total-commander.html
registry will be in //
(last i recalled)
I use this one. Just unzip to PC desktop and run it form there (with device synced):
Thanks guys
I tried commander it did not work.Is this for PC or pocket pc. Could not find the registry editor in there lots of other crap but no registry editior. It also says I can have lan access I can not find anywhere where I can access file sittin on LAN.
Can you throw a few pointers.
Mobile registry, I have to use a pc to edit. Not very convenient as I dont have my pc with me all the time.
Is there anything else outthere.
Here ya go...
This is cooked into several of the ROMs out there but I find it very handy.
copy the TaskMgr.exe to your /Windows folder on the Tilt/Kaiser
Copy the shortcuts to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/* (somewhere in here)
Hope this helps.

Hi, TotalCommander is PPC software. By using it you will find a folder \\ in root. There are 3 folders in \\: ftp, LAN and registry.

Can I import a *.reg file into registry?

I have tried using several registry apps to successfully export [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher] belonging to a previous Hutch 3 ROM.
I now want to re import these keys into my newly installed Duttys 6.1.
How do I do this?
Scuse the newb question (duck for cover) but on a PC you tap the *.reg and it will import into the registry. On my Kaiser running Duttys 6.1 I have PHM_Regedit but Import option is greyed out.
A search did not resolve it so any help would be appreciated.

Install FdcSoft's Taskmanager (it has a built in Regedit), by DotFred. In there you can associate .reg files with it. Then just run them to import.
Great I'll grab it. Thanks Dave I really appreciate the help. I know you all get sick to death of our newb questions.

Dont worry. I spent 10 minutes trying to use PHM before I gave up.
Dot Fred's TaskManager is a kick ass task manager as well as a reg editor (amongst other stuff).
P.S. Easiest way to associate is: Open TaskMgr, tools, options, Create RegEit Shortcut. This will ask do you want to associate.
Cool I can see how to do all that now thanx.
Only hiccup is I can only run it from my Storage card. I cannot work out how to copy it to my \Windows folder. I cannot work out how to delete the existing basic taskmgr.exe that installed with Dutty's. I guess this is because it is a system file. If I try and copy and replace I get error message saying not possible. Whats the trick here?

Don't know. I just leave the exe in My Docs, and run it from the shortcuts.
Okay. Will do same. thanks..
Resco Explorer will also do it.
To dotfred from your SD Card, do this:
Place the .exe in you \Storage Card\Programs folder. With your desktop PC, navigate to \Windows Mobile Device\My Device\Storage Card\Programs & right click on the exe file. Select create shortcut. Move the shortcut to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs using desktop pc.
Voilla! you are done, go check Programs & it's there.
this is the steps i usually take when entering in a reg file. I use resco explorer for all this. I double click. Then I make sure I close resco through the menu exit and not the X button. Then I continue to play around with my phone for a while opening up menus and stuff. Then I soft reset. Doing these steps, I for sure get my stuff to work. There might be some unnecessary steps I take, but I end up with what I want. Many people have trouble keeping their registry stuff to stick. The steps I take, I never worry about that.

Thanks for the tip. Was not aware you could make shortcuts this way. Running from the card appeals because the .exe will still be there after reflashing a new ROM and I will only need to move/copy the shortcut. Being a newb I have been somewhat reluctant to run apps from the card but I am gathering that is is a quite an acceptable thing to do.
Is there a way to place registry keys inside a CAB so that they will get imported when the CAB is launched? Whilst the above DotFred association method works a treat for me with ".reg" files I would like to find a standalone method to import registry info. So that I can pass a single file to someone else and without any extra config they can import the contents into their registy.
definitely. There are a lot of cab creators where you can just enter in your reg key and will create your cab. Someone recommended me this program. I really like it.

Thanks for the link thomasster. Does the job well. Probaly an overkill (and therefore overpriced for what I need), but I got it to work OK. Also from using it, I learnt that the process simply converts the registry keys to provxml. So now I am looking to manaully create the "_setup.xml" and then use iexpress.exe in Vista to create the CABs.
Is there a way to undo changes made by import .reg file?
I imported a reg file using DotFredd's Taskmanager. Now I want to undo it? Is it possible? How?
Thanks

Unicode on ATT Fuze

Hello
I wonder if anyone has figured out how to display foreign language font on ATT Fuze? I've understand that it has something to do with unicode. I was able to do that with the ATT Tilt by installing the tahoma fonts but no luck with the ATT Fuze.
Thx
i got chinese to show and write using sunglobe(view only)... forgot the name of the one that lets you write.
Thx
I just need to read Viet and Chinese for now.
Any other suggestion
attached is unicode-tahoma. you need to copy the files to both \windows directory and \windows\fonts directory. hope this will work. good luck

i am using the files on my att-fuze. i can read/write my phone book, compose text in ms-office (word, ppt and excel) and typing sms. all in vn with no problem. you need to copy the files to both windows\ and windows\fonts directories. btw, i am using rom from master NRGZ28 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751). this is the best rom out there.

Hello: I just copy those 2 files to the fonts folder and the windows folders but still nothing change. I am using the ATT stock rom. Could it be the reason the Tahoma fonts can't display properly?
thx
you may try to use Total Commander instead of win-explorer to perform copy and paste. win-explorer is useless.

Copied and pasted, did not work
Hi I am looking to solve the same issue. I have the FUZE but I am in China right now and my phone cannot read chinese characters. I dled the tahoma fonts and pasted them into the windows directory and the fonts directory but it did not work. I used Total commander. I also am not clear on whether to the folder vn_tahoma or the files themselves into the directory? I did both but it did not work. Thanks.
