Hi!!!
The problem is so simple... With my s200 I have never had thos problem ... That's why I don't know if the problem is my diamond (rom ?) or wm6 or resco explorer ...
After I change the default aplication for a file type those files appear with the usual "unknown file" icon instead of the application that is going to open the file.
In Deep:
I changed "avi" file type to be opened with coreplayer... now all avi files are shown with a "unknown file" icon instead of coreplayer icon ... I also cannot go back to the default icon ...
Is there anyway to customize these icons ?? any soft ?? any thing ??
See U and TY !!
Please I really need to resolve this .... all icons are so ugly when I use any explorer ....
How or Where can I change this icons please ??
TY !
Unfortunately you may need to edit the registry to get the correct icons, I've done it a few times myself.
I don't have time to explain right now but I'll see later tonight when I get back from work if I can post the solution.
OK really TY !! Will wait for your post !
See U !

i can't replace the orig welcomehead.96.png file, it says that it can be replaced coz of some file protection, pls. hlep me!!!!!
use your windows explorer while in activesync.... or some kinda file explorer for PPC. use Resco.
it has the system or hidden or readonly bit i suppose.

I have flashed to 1.37 Malaysia WWE ROM, under the 3D touch flow, when I click the browser, it opens to HTC site instead of a local search page like 1.34ROM. Is there a way I change it?
I have changed the startup homepage in opera setting but it didn't change the default page when you launch the browser from 3D touch flow.. any ideas to have it changed? thanks

when u open it at the adress bar u see from where the file (URL) is its shortcut in windows make a shortcut of a browser in your pc and name it the same thing as u had that is ( windows\htc-opera.html) so with your pc make a shortcut of internet adress u like and the save it to your desktop and then rename it to htc-opera.html and copy this to your device windows folder thats it !!
I have done that but it seems the opera launcher in 3D touch flow is hardcoded to www.htc.com. In fact under the globe icon in 3D touch flow, it has a line www.htc.com . I forget whether it is the same in 1.34 ROM. But so far I am not able to change that...
anyone got any idea? thanks
ok, i got tricked by this as well.
Look underneath the earth in the browser panel.
It says "Launch Browser - www.htc.com"
So I guess it always launches to htc.com.
To launch Opera only and on your predefined start page, use the Right softkey when on the browser panel. It's labeled BROWSER.
Irritating
i noticed the browser softkey, but i think there must be a way to change this... it seems this is not an issue with 1.34 rom
I finally resolved this issue; anyone who has the same problem go to "Application Data" folder and delete this file: InternetPortal-en-AU.xml. or you can edit the InternetPortal-en-AU.xml file , it will then go to whatever URL you have changed in InternetPortal-en-AU.xml when you launch it by the Globe Icon, don't worry, the Globe is still there. As a rule of thumb, back up the file before you make changes
Please note that this InternetPortal-en-AU.xml is a read only file, you need to copy it to your PC for editing the URL you want to go when you hit the Globe Icon. First, uncheck the "read only" tab in file properities. then edit it with notepad on PC. After you are done, rename it to InternetPortal-en-AU-new.xml ( your file extension may be hidden) , copy it back to Diamond's" Application Data" folder. then launch "File Explorer" in your Diamond, then go to "Application Data" folder, rename InternetPortal-en-AU to InternetPortal-en-AU-bak then rename InternetPortal-en-AU-new to InternetPortal-en-AU, You are done !

So what does the screen show now? I mean before you tap on the browser.
Is it still the globe, just without directing you to the htc official site?
without the file, it will go to whatever homepage you have set in Opera's setting, or you can edit the InternetPortal-en-AU.xml file , it will then go to whatever URL you have changed in InternetPortal-en-AU.xml when you launch it by the Globe Icon, don't worry, the Globe is still there. As a rule of thumb, back up the file before you make changes
Thanks vaio for web browser tip!

I've finally got time to try this out, & it works like a charm! thank you so much!
Now... would it be possible to change the browser icon to something of personal preference? I saw a path inside the *.xml & it directed to a banner.qtf or something. Or is it embedded?
Anyway, just want to thank you for this huge help.
princEd, thanks for your kind words.. will keep searching for tweaks..
Hi all, can anyone post the original script for "InternetPortal-en-AU.xml" Thanks in advance..
Hi.
I don't have this XML file in Application Data too, and my Internet Tab is just useless : the globe button does strictly nothing, neither do the "browser" or "more" bottom buttons, and the youtube link below the globe displays an error message about missing file or incorrect certificate.
So I would like to :
make the "Launch Browser" button launch Opera 9.5b or at least Internet Explorer
if possible, make it launch my homepage or a customizable page
remove this Youtube link
learn how to add other links
having a link/button to one-click des/activate WLAN would be just GREAT
Can somebody post the content of the XML file ?
And of course, if anybody knows how to achieve any of the above...
Thanks in advance

try reinstalling an opera cab, it may ask you to remove the old version if you have one. reset and try again.
doesn't change anything
Hi guys,
I am trying to change some folder icons but I cannot find the way of doing it. It appears that the resource dll that is holding this information is shellres.dll but this cannot be accessed/copied/edites since is locked by the rom.
Any ideas/solution to this?
Thanks

Thanks for the guide... but the OP is referring to the Folder Icons in Programs (and/or Settings) in the Cooked WM ROMs not Windows XP.
Thanks

Newbies Newbies... lol
So, here's a short tutorial on how to create your own dll library and change folder icons.
what you need:
IcoFX get it here : http://icofx.ro/
ResHacker link here : http://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/tools/ResHack.zip
and of cource ICONS get some here: http://www.iconarchive.com/
How it works...
Any customized folder has a shortcut inside pointing out the icon it should use
usually it's a icon.lnk file inside the folder.
and icons are usually stored in a DLL library...
So, what we have to do
1. Get some images and transform them into icon files ( .ico )
2. Create our DLL library
3. make the icon.lnk files that point to our specific icon
let's start.
After installing all the above programs and selecting some icons go and launch IcoFX
now go to Tools / Batch Convert
A new window appears
Add your icons / images,
select your icon sizes
select an output folder
hit ok
After it finishes hit ok.
Now go to Tools - Resource Editor
This should pop up
Now add your created icons
After that, hit save
Save your library with a .dll extension like in the above image.
Bam, you just created your own DLL library
Close the program
now to create the icon.lnk file
create a new text document
inside the shortcut looks like this:
1# is a parameter
myiconlib.dll is your icon library
-33 is the resource number where the icon is located within the resource dll
ok, how to find the right number for your icon:
Open up your DLL library with ResourceHacker
hit expand tree to see all the resources in the file
search for your icon
The icon number is very visible ( look at the image )
write the number in your text file like shown in the image. remember to put the "-"
so, another example:
1#MyLibrary.dll, -12
now, goto file , Save AS
Just to be sure select All Files in the Save as type bar
give the file the name: icon.lnk and hit save.
and you are almost done.
Connect via your phone via Activesync
Copy your Dll library right in the Windows folder
Copy your icon.lnk in the folder you want to customize.
And you are done.
Hope this comes in handy
Happy customizing
Nevermind, got it fixed Sorry for the trouble.
Great info! Thanks for sharing.
works great with changing a folder... how do you change just a shortcut?
Thank you very much
i dont nderstand this part , help please
now to create the icon.lnk file
create a new text document
inside the shortcut looks like this:
i have created the library.dll whit al the icons i want . i just dont understand this part above. i have to crate a new text document inside the shortcut? wich shortcut? i am lost in this part
I can't get it working, i did everything, i checked tree times but nothing works.
I GIVEUP
sorry by my inglish , i have being trying to make this shortcut but nothing works, i have being reading al the esteps over and over , but nothing works.i am tired to try to make i simple shortcut, tired to try to change the estar icon, tired to try to change waiting star icon , i just cant do it, nothing seems to work to me, maybe iam so stupid, KEEP THE GOOD JOB ,

Yes mate, as i told, did everything
lets see
Please attatch ur dll library qnd ur shortcut and ill take a look at it
Everything seems clear except:
"Copy your icon.lnk in the folder you want to customize."
It's confusing how to customize?
Does anyone still come here?
I followed the tutorial step by step and also I had no success! Could someone help me? Or anyone know which dll is the original folder icon? So I could change them directly in this dll.
I have attached the dll and icon.ink that i created, if someone can help me and verify that is correct.
Thanks

hello it looks ok....do you have reset your phone after copy the dll in Windows folder? This is very important because otherwise it dont will show the image....
Yes I did. Did not work. I tried to see in several dll where is the original icon of the folder to change but can not find.
ok you lost me towards the end. in your example you say your icon is -12, but you have -9 highlighted do you not?
also, how can i use this in a kitchen after i create my folders using oemizer?
Great tutorial, thank you very much!
I've created a tutorial about creating shortcuts to Feature Settings and Applications. Plus adding icons to these links. It has many xda-links to specialized shortcut applications!
For me it resulted in icons for MortScript
Your tutorial about creating icons for folders was missing!! Thanx again!
Senax
didn`t worked
thanks for your tutorial.
i tryed it but i had no success
in resco explorer it works in some cases, in others not and in the start menu i had no success.

I have found through trial and error that it seems to work if you select one of the Phones which only supports portrait mode. On the ones which can rotate, although it lets you upload the image and set up correctly, it crashes when processing. That can be overcome by using the portrait only and then editing the .tsk when downloaded and saved - simply delete the exisiting image file and replace with the correct pair of .jpgs for Portrait and Lansdcape [ stwater_480_800.jpg and stwater_800_480.jpg].
Editing the .tsk is done by making a copy - rename the extension to .cab and then use WinCE CAB Manager to edit. Once done, save and rename back to .tsk
