i accidently renamed a file in the registry. Now i can't open file explorer or view other things. i was using total commander and the file is in "registry\HKLM\" the file is in between "software" amd "system" so can somebody please tell me the original name of the file?
P.S-im sorry if i posted this in the wrong section
There's no other folder in my phone between those two folders.
do you think "clear storage" it'll put everything back to normal?
i know it started with an S can someone please help me i can't open my contacts or the windows media
A Hard Reset would fix the issue. Sorry but there was nothing else there.
Here are the available directories in registry/HKLM on my WING that start with "S" Haha!!! (sorry)
-Security
-Services
-Snd
-Software
-System
If you cant open Windows Media, you probably renamed the "software" directory.
In registry/HKCU there is a directory between "software" and "system" named "Start". That could be it.
LoL Hope this helps.
When I went to install a CAB noticed that I had a third option to install to, besides Main Memory and Storage Card, it was Bluetooth. I went to the File Explorer and noticed that there is a Bluetooth folder in My Device. I have no idea how this folder was created, but I have no use for Bluetooth and want to delete it!
When I try to delete it in the File Explorer it says access denied. When I go to Total Commander and delete it, the screen flashes, but the folder remains.. in the properties window none of the attributes are checked, and the in ROM attribute is grayed out.
Please Help! Thanks.
thats probably just a generic folder for any bluetooth storage devices (if there be such a thing). If you have no use for it, just leave it alone. It's not taking any space (well, maybe a couple bytes, but thats nothing)
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...
Something strange happened: If I open my file explorer (GSExplorer, file explorer or bluetooth explorer) and I navigate to Internal Memory, I can't open the folders that are inside anymore.
For some reason, the extension of the folders inside have changed to .exe. When I click on them I get the error-message "My Documents.exe 'My Documents' is not a valid Pocket-PC application".
If I connect my Diamond to my pc I can browse the folders but instead of opening on the already open folder, it opens a new window. It's like the My Documents.exe file is a Shortcut to itself and can only be opened if I browse my Diamond on the pc.
The strange thing is that I haven't changed a thing since 2 months ago and the problem only occured a week ago. The ROM installed is the dutch AZTOR ROM and software I installed include Advanced Condiguration tool, GAlarm, GSFinder and Gyrator.
I don't know if it's relevant, but if I connect my diamond to the pc, there's a new option in the popup (the one where you can chose to explore the diamond, copy images to a folder, ...) It's called "Run Recycle.exe. I searched a bit more about recycle.exe and it appears to be spyware but I haven't found how to remove this spyware.
I'd really appreciate a solution to this problem and I'd also like to know how it happened. I could reload the ROM on my diamond but 2 months laters, it could happen again...
Thanks in advance.
it seems to me that you're infected with a virus... do a scan with your favorite antivirus/spyware and see how it goes.
Same thing happened to me, but in laptop not in ppc
Then it was virus, that was making an exe file in the name of the folders. But for PPC, I'm not very sure. But guess it's the same...suggest to check the system with a good antivirus....
Allright thanks.
I think the virus is gone now, but the folders are still in .exe. Can I remove this extension? I tried properties in GSFinder, but no luck...
So i had to get my N6 replaced becasue the top speaker was all wacked out, so i got the new one and hope someone can help me (i know there will be ) first i'm trying to copy the titanium backup files, i keep getting an error on certain files saying "cannot copy, device has stopped responding or has been disconnected" when clearly neither of those things have happened. I am on stock rooted & unencrypted. I tried searching but found no answer to this..
Just created an update.zip but when i look on the computer, i cannot see the file..
how are you trying to copy the backup files?
I usually copy it to an online storage (dropbox/box etc). Make sure you download and restore it to your new phone before wiping/returning your old phone.
I'll try dropbox, what i did was had it create an update.zip which contains apps+data so i could flash it in recovery on the new phone. I can see the file with root explorer on the sdcard, but when i plug it in to the computer i don't see the file..
I'm trying to drag the tibu folder to dropbox and it won't do anything...

Are read/write permissions set on the file/directory?
Try moving it to your phones "Downloads" directory and see if it shows on your computer? Enable "view hidden file types".
rwxrwx-- the only part not checked is where it says others..
Edit: I tried checking the boxes next to others and it said permissions could not be changed..

Ok i have it syncing to dropbox now, i 've never used dropbox to sync data so i did some reading and found out how. What i couldn't find was after it syncs to dropbox, do i restore apps+data to the replacement phone?
