What do you mean you "Deleted" it. As far as i know it's not possible to delete things from the ROM. Is it???
yes i overwrote it using total commander file explorer if you could just post up a copy of your wmplayer.exe file then i could copy it back into the windows folder and then i can access windows media player again lol
Nevermind I found a cab on the internets.
I overwrote too my wmplayer.exe using total commander file explorer.
Could someone send me his wmplayer.exe ?
my e-mail is [email protected]
Thanks a lot
hmmm...errr...i think files on the ROM that have been overwritten can be recoved by just deleting the file...this will undo the overwrite and the original file from the ROM will pop back into place
Yes, you're right.
I just deleted wmplayer.exe with ActiveSync and I rebooted, and wmp came back.
Thanks a lot !

I have an AT&T Tilt. I am a long time BBerry user who never once tweaked a device.
I would like to install several things including the HTC home and at some point TouchFlo.
Let's use my challenge with the HTC home files. Regardless of whether I use the 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 files I get the same result.
I copy the cab files to a folder. Browse to the folder using file explorer, click on the setup file and.....
it opens up in Internet Explorer, seems to hang for several minutes and then...nothing.
Am I literally this stupid?

Hi,
I copy the cab files to a folder. Browse to the folder using file explorer, click on the setup file and..... I assume you copied the cab files to your device?
it opens up in Internet Explorer, seems to hang for several minutes and then...nothing. I dont quite get what you mean by it opens up in Internet Explorer? Did you click on the cab file? It is not suppose to open up in IE. Please be more specific..
Cheers
Here's what I have
The folder for the HTC Home Screen has a file called _setup.xml and around 100 files.
I click on the _setup.xml file and it opens in IE. Nothing happens. There is no .cab file in the folder.

You unpacked the CAB file somehow (likely on your PC before transfering). Don't do that. Move the CAB file to your phone, not its contents. When you open a CAB file, it looks to the XML file for installation instructions. If you open the XML file, it thinks you want to read it, so it opens PIE.
So don't unpack CABs.
I see a bunch of stuff in the windows folder that can go, but neither the built in file explorer nor TotalCommander will let me delete any of the files. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

make your own kitchen and remove files when building your ROM
Isn't there any easier way to remove crap from our windows folder??
most files in the windows dir is located in the rom which cant be altered apart from at full rom flash time
some can be overwritten if one use less poor filemanagers then explore like total commander
I downloaded a program called Flashlight, and I wanted to know how I could get it onto my all programs list, since it came as an .exe rather than a cab. Thanks in advance!

Either move the file to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs or Create a shortcut to the exe (Copy the file in File Explorer and Choose Paste Shortcut) there.

Ah! That did the trick. Thank you very much
doesn't work with GpsCompass
I installed a program called GpaCompass that doesn't show up in my win/startmenu/programs, so I copied and pasted the .exe there, I tried to cut/paste the .exe there, still no go. it gives me an alarm about microsoft.net, but i have 3.5 installed. I've tried using 2.0 as default AND 3.5 as default. not sure what to do. I'll try to include screenshot of error msg.

Don't copy (or cut!) and paste the exe to your Startmenu/Programs folder. Instead you should copy and paste a SHORTCUT to the exe in your Starmenu/Programs folder. By pasting the exe file itself into your folder it is trying to execute from that folder when other files that it may need are in the installation directory somewhere else on your device.
So first, cut and paste the .exe back to where it was originally located. Next copy the exe and "Paste as shortcut" into your Startmenu/Programs folder
Thanks lots
@ Rumbal,
worked beautifully, thanks a lot! I apparently misunderstood other posts I had read about doing this. And , call me an idiot, but somehow completely overlooked "paste as shortcut", and only saw "paste".
Thanks
woot!
Thanks!
This is something I just learned as well. Now I'm going to go ahead and make all the shortcuts I want!
It took a while, but I didn't want to ASK and get flamed for it. Anyway, these forms are tens of thousands of posts deep....I knew the answer was here

Amazing trick...this worked without troubles, and it can be set manually mostly for portable applications which does not install in Program Files folder.
I just did a trick with portable Dreamweaver by simply copying the portable folder to the Program Files, and then copied and pasted Dreamweaver.exe shortcut in Star Menu\Programs folder....worked fine.
Thanx for ur tips...
How I can change some images from the windows folder, they are read only and I can't change this, I can download the images to my pc and change them but I can't put them back, is there a other way then just decopile the entire rom?
Willem
it`s not possible, only you DUMP your Rom

Just use a program like Total Commander or Resco Explorer to copy the files into your Windows folder. The ROM files aren't actually overwritten, they are merely shadowed.

Hey guys, my first post here
I just got a Diamond and i installed this pack to make graphics run smoother.
The cab file installed this file HTCAPI.DLL in my Windows folder and it seems
to be the reason why the TF3D isn't working.
On the other thread this guy said he deleted that file (HTCAPI.DLL) and
everthing was working for him again.
I cant find a way to delete this file from Windows Dir. Total Commander cant
and file explorer cant.
Please help!
