When using GSFinder or Total Commander the device suddenly resets. It does it very unpredictably. Now the original file explorer does it too. Is it possibly something I have running in the background?
I'm beginning to think it's something with gsGetFile.dll. Anyone else use GSFinder and File Dialog Changer?

Does anyone know a way to remap keyboard buttons?
I ask because I have Resco Explorer installed, but when I push the Fn key then the right arrow (which has a small blue folder on it) it launches the standard file explorer program. I would like to remap it to Resco Explorer - any ideas?
The button is hardcoded in ROM to launch a specific EXE file.
If you rename the File Explorer exe to something else (making note of the original name/location), you can then rename Resco's name to the original file explorer (and make sure it's in the same directory).

Hi goes to eleven (must watch Spinal Tap again!!)
Thanks for your reply - what a simple, yet excelent idea!
One small problem though... using Resco Explorer I found the program file, fexplore.exe in the Windows folder. When I tried to rename it I got a message: "Cannot rename file 'fexplore.exe' Access denied."
I tried to delete it and got the usual window about using the recycle bin or just getting rid of it, but the delete button was greyed out. I checked the exe files properties and found out why - it appears be in the ROM and as such I don't think I can rename, move or delete it?
(When I tried using File Explorer instead the Rename and Delete options were also greyed out).
Any ideas on how to get around this?
Cheers

hello folks,
I'm running a TILT with HTC ROM.
I am trying to make some changes to system files located in the
windows directory. attributes are read only and I cannot find a
way to make changes to that. I've searched the forum but didn't
find anything. if anyone knows of a way to delete/change the read only
attribute on winmo 5 windows directory please point me in the right
direction.
thanks!
If the items you are trying to modify are built into the rom, you can see them but they can not be modified.
The items specifically i'm trying to modify are
the 0_in and 0_out files with in the windows directory
that are used for keyboard sliding sounds. i've read
previously about people using customer slide sounds
and just replacing the ones inside the directory with
the newly formed files.
I asked the question more generically incase anyone
else wanted information on the same subject for
different reasons.
update: Changed rom files!
I was doing some digging and I figured out how to
change over files that are baked onto the rom.
I did so by using Totalcommander. which is a shareware
file system. says it also has a built in reg editor
but ive yet to figure out how to open that
feature...if anyone else uses totalcommander
let me know how to start its regediting functions.
I havnet used total commander in a while, but i believe its in a directory "//" with no name.

Two thoughts - I've got a control panel for the sliding sounds where I can change the sound associate with the slider. Is that not working?
Are you trying to replace the files using File Explorer or something like Total Commander? FE won't do it, but TC or one of the extended file explorers should. Note that you won't really be replacing a file in ROM, and if you ever delete the one you add the one in ROM will "magically" reappear.
If you want to overwrite files in the Windows directory, Resco File Explorer does this beautifully!

bump...im having trouble editing files on my phone from activesync and i want to know how i can disable the "read only" on these files...can anyone help?
Use total commander
Click on the file properties and uncheck "read only".
Edit or overwrite them
Is there a way to easily bypass the "Locked in ROM" problem?
As an example; when you copy a file named "welcomehead.96.png" into thewindows folder, you get a message saying you can't do it. When you look at properties, you find that the "Locked in ROM" option is checked and grayed out. Can I fix this?
Thanks
I would really appreciate it if anyone who have replaced the welcomehead.96.png file, wuld tell me how you did it, and what ROM you are using
I was able to do it with Resco File Explorer. I just copied the file to My Documents, and then opened Resco and was able to copy the file to the Windows folder. It would then prompt me to overwrite the ROM file and I confirmed, and it worked fine.
Hope this helps.
Welcomehead
Works just as SacTilt described. I have done it many times on mine.
I have used Total Commander and had no problems at all.
Thank you for the replies. But what kind of ROMs where you guys using?
I'm using Dutty's, so I guess it might have something to do with what Dutty may have done. I dunno

The ROM that you are using, shouldn't matter. What application are you using to copy the file? What is the process that you are going through to complete this?
Right, rom doesn't matter, it's the fact that the stock file explorer can't over-write read-only files like welcomehead but 3rd party file managers like Resco can.
using Dutty v3, and Total Commander to copy welcomehead.96.png file
no problem at all
Straaange. I was able to do it before, but after a softreset at some time, I couldn't. I've tried, Resco, Total Commander, stock explorer and the one with Device manager. All gives me a "no access" error. :\
I tried with Dutty v2 and the included Total Commander, it won't work
i have duttys v3 on mt tilt what i had to do was use total comander first to delete the original... then i used the file explorer to drop in the new one... but tbh i think i had to do it like that cuz i couldnt figure out how to do it all with total comanader
Help!
Was changing the battery icon on my touch diamond and during copying a file to the windows folder, file explorer locked up.
I have managed to view the /windows folder on the mobile device using windows explorer and can see that the file I was copying did not copy fully I believe it's corrupted as it the copied file is smaller than the original.
I cannot delete the file using xp laptop windows explorer, no permissions/read only.
Nor can I access it using file explorer in phone as it keeps hanging!
Aaaargh!
Why is it the little things that cause such pain?
I feel a hard reset coming on, but will seek help here first.
Thanks
Why don't you try other file explorers that are much better than the default one in Windows Mobile?
Try Total Commander or Resco Explorer.
is there anyone know how to install GAPI 1.2 into blue angel ?
you copy the gx.dll and the gx.lib from the ARM folder of your downloaded GAPI into the device's windows folder, thereby overwriting the original gx.dll.
if you are having trouble overwriting the file, because it might be in use, soft reset and try again. i also read, that devices with wm2003 or higher don't need the dll, since it is already part of the os. what do you need that for anyways?
i have already tried that way too but it still can't be copied. i need this two file to play pocket everquest.
you probably should not use the pc's explorer or the device's file explorer to try and overwrite the file, try a more advanced file manager, like total commander (PPC) or resco explorer, so maybe you can try and edit the file's properties, if it is protected, and make sure, to kill any other program running in the background, because any of those could possibly be using the file, so causing it to be protected.
