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???

On the wiki in the Hermes section under Tools and Programs you'l find HTC X Button , use that it works for me.
I would like to add my "favorites" to the today screen. I've added the kaiser tweaks and the HTC homepage plugin. No where does it allow me to put my favorites on a tab or on the menu. Does anyone have a way to do this? It would make jumping online for something so much quicker. Thanks
If you're using HTC Home, you can add shortcuts to the "launcher" tab.
Go start>settings>today then at the bottom tab shift to "HTC Home" and make sure "launcher" is checked to display.
Then from your Today screen, tap over to the "launcher" icon. You'll see two rows of little squares now (the top row is filled in). You can tap a black square and it will allow you to select which application launches from that sqaure. The little "x" allows you to unlock the squares to remove them.
If you want to add an application or shortcut not on the availabe list, sync to your PC and go into your device.....create a shortcut in the windows>start menu folder.
Hope that helps...if that's what you were looking for.
* this may of course all vary depending on which version of HTC Home you have loaded
Sounded brilliant but it didn't work. I'm working on XP and it wouldn't allow me to make a shortcut on the mobile phone (tilt). So I just copied my favorites folder into the program files folder, start menu folder, and anywhere else I thought it might show up. I got it onto the start screen, but there was nothing in it. Any other suggenstions?

It will work with XP, you may need to open two windows to do it.
From your PC (my computer) open a window for the device....surf down to Windows>Start menu.
Now go back to "my computer" again and open a second device window. Surf down to whatever directory you are looking for...then drop/drag the exe into the open start menu window.....select "create shortcut" and your done
I got it onto the start screen, but there was nothing in it. Any other suggenstions?

Not sure I follow. It may not appear until you restart the device.
You'll get it, though. Keep tinkering.
"Favorites" on your Kaiser

If I understand you correctly, I think what you want is to be able to open your Internet Explorer Favorites quickly and easily on your Kaiser. If that's the case, what you need to do is check the "Favorites" box in ActiveSync - that will port all your favorites to your mobile device - then when you open Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE), all your favorites are available from there.
Ok, go ahead and bash me, I have been trying for two weeks and still do not get it. I have read post over and over and simply do not understand the "computer lingo". I have a ATT Tilt 8925. I have installed the HTC Home screen with the customize application. I live in Thibodaux Louisiana and the only city I can get is New Orleans which is 60 miles away. My Tilt has a factory ROM and the only things i installed were:
HTC Home plugin
HTC home customize
fff Finger friendly finder
large start-up menu
opera mobile 8.65
I do understand that with a new patch I should be able to receive any city. The problem is I DO NOT understand or can not figure out what patch I need. I have read a lot of post, I do not know which one I need because of the "lingo" used. I am a police officers not a tech. Can somebody please assist me in getting my local weather by laying it down in layman's term!!! This would make my tilt complete. I know a lot of guys would be happy.
ok, go ahead and make fun of me, then after please help. If you are willing I would even be glad to give a call to someone.
Thanks again !!!
Ok, here is how I got mine to work. First install HTC home customizer. Then soft reset. Then in HTC home customizer, edit the city and save it to cutom.
Then copy the .dll file to your windows folder on your phone. Soft reset and everything should work.
BTW, unzip the dll file first before you paste it to the windows directory.
Ok, I installed the HTC Custom and it workng fine. I know how to enter the city of choice but I do not understand whats a .dll file, were its located and were to install it.
Are you talking about the windows folder under My Device? And once you show me were this .dll file is, any special place in the windows folder it needs to got. I guess I can cut and paste it there correct.
Thanks for the help, just need a little more info.
What a .dll file and were its located?
What I just did was download the attached file you had and unzipped it on my PC then transported it to my tilt. I cut and paste it under My Device>windows and and paste it at the bottom. Soft reset and still unable to gather data. When selecting a new city. I selected custom and enter my city (Thibodaux)> then my zip code "70301" then country USA. After each selection I tapped "X" to save and at the end I tapped exit.
Any thoughts
Nope thats it. Just soft reset & then go to the weather tap & it should sync.
When I enter my zip code do I enter anything else other than the numbers?
I noticed at the bottom of the tab it had some format/letter etc, all I enter was my zip code numbers?
Also should I be seeing other cities when I am on the home page when I tap the city icon. It only shows my city (Thibodaux).
I do notice when it is searching, the internet is running. Also from the factory it searches using MediaNet I beleive. Also, I am not using a proxy. All my internet setting are from the factory.
Is it possible I have the wrong HTC Cutomizer downloaed. I downloaded the
"v0.8" version the other one was the v1.0????
Tried again and after searching, unable to gather data ETC.
Again, thanks and help!!
I am going to try and install the HTC Customizer on the phone instead of the storage/memory card and see if that will amke a difference. The HTC home and cusotmizer work good being on the storage card. Anyway stand by and will try.
No different, same message; "unable to gather data from selected city"
Okay, Do this. DL the attached file. Unzip & Put both files in \windows directory.
Go to HHC customizer. select the weather tab, selesct custom database, select add city enter you city exactly like this (use your city info of course):
Palo Verdes, CA USA 90732
No periods in USA or after the state abbreviation.
You will only see the citys taht are entered into the custom database, that's why only the one shows up.
Ok, stand by
ok, I downloaded the attached file you have on your last post. I unzipped it on my device and put everything under windows then soft reset and still no luck. I did notice that your file had an Opera icon (weather cities) in it. The other that I downloaded from above did not have this.
Thank for you time, any other suggestions??
I have put so many different files in here to try and get it to work, I will just load my saved "back-up" and start again.
Any help from you guys!! I really would like this application to work. Everything else I have installed has worked w/o problems except this one.
Simple' I just want to be able to located my city!!!!
I can find it on any other weather program.
To make this clear, this are the programs I have installed, is there any more I need?
HTC Home plug In
HTC Home Customize (I believe that the weather patch is installed in this program already?/? correct??)
The attached .dll file that's attached above.
Is this all I need to retrieve other cities??
I am determinded to get this right, as you can see!
Unfortunately I'm not able to help you with the HTC Weather piece, but I am running PocketWeather from http://www.sbsh.net and checked and your city is available in there. So if you are unable to get this fix and still want weather, this is an option. Unfortunately it isn't free, but you could always download a trial and see if it works for you before buying.
Another free option would be WeatherToGo from http://www.tonaya.com/products/wtg/index.php but I don't know if they have your town in there or if it can be customized.
Good luck in your quest.
Thanks, I think I will just go ahead and purchase the sbsh weather.net program if I can not resolve this issue.
1. Install HTC Home Customizer 1.05 whic I think u said u did.
2. Start HTC1.05, in the weather tab, change your city and add to the custom database.
3. Soft reset.
4. Sync phone with pc. (its just easier this way, trust me)
5. Once synced copy the .dll file I uploaded earlier (using ur pc not the phone) and paste it to the windows folder of your phone.
6. Soft reset.
7. Now you must be able to access the internet with your phone for all of this to work. Click the weather tab and click in the area where it asks you to and it will download your weather data.
Hope this helps.
I downloaded the v0.8 version of the cutomizer, does this amake a difference?
Did you go back into customizer & re-enter the custom city data & make sure there are no periods?
I've followed your directions, when I tried to paste the dll file into my windows directory through my PC, the windows directory did not show up. So I tried to copy it from the my documents directory to the windows directory using the file explorer on the phone and it said it could not copy over the file due to access restrictions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in Idaho and the closest city I can get is 4 hours away.

Ok you are just trying to find an HTC Home that will let you get your local weather? If i am correct, then download and install these files in order:
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/SdkCerts.cab
http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/htchome-2.1-n2a.cab
http://www.pocketemu.com/request11.html
Once all 3 are installed, run the customizer and set up your weather!
I've got mine to work with all the aforementioned assistance. However, it only updates the weather either via WIFI or ActiveSync. Is there no way to get this to work through the proxy?
Thanx.
Ericc191, thanks for that post. I'm wondering if that will make a city work that doesn't work when you edit the xml? I tried before doing the regedit change to add my code in, but it still couldn't find it through accuweather.
Im trying to figure out how to make a shortcut in windows mobile 6.1... My device is loaded with them... just cant figure out how to create one.
Never Mind got it although its a complicated affair of copying a shortcut on my Kaiser to my windows desktop and editing the location in notepad
This might be a tad easier friend.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838634.aspx
It says WM2002 but its the same universally
1. Use activesync
2. Browse from "My Computer" to the mobile device
3. Right click an app/file and select "Create Shortcut"
4. Cut the shortcut and move it anywhere you would like by pasting it
Not that bad really
another possible way is it to use total commander, a freeware file manager for your mobile that allows you to create shortcuts

Hello everyone. Originally, I posted this in the WRONG place (habitually I follow the Rom Development thread. Here's my question:
I'm looking for a CAB if one exists; that allows me to get right back to an open program without having to hit the start menu button and find it in the list of programs again. For example: I have Google Maps open to an address. I go to the programs page by clicking my stylus on the Windows icon, open my navigational program. NOW... I wish to get right back to the Google Maps, but have to go BACK to the programs folder to click it's icon AGAIN as if opening it for the very first time.
In an older ROM (I think the original 6.1), I could click the start menu and the list would drop down with recently used programs on the top left. Even that ability would be better.
Anyone know of a CAB for this feature?
Thanks.
TRhis is what I use. WKTask
