new "instant messaging" folder appears after registry edit - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

i am new to my fuze and have beeen messing with a few things.
now i dont know exactly when this folder appeared in my programs list but i know it wasnt there before i did a registry tweak (to remove the startup.gif/startup.wav) with total commander, any ideas?
the folder is filled with all my program files, same thing as if you open up file explorer.

I now have 2 calculators- how to delete 1?

Okay, after doing a hard reset, and restoring from sprite- I now have 2 calculators under programs. calulator, and calculator (1). how do i get rid of the second one- they both work btw.
I have the same issue. I took care of it before by navigating to a folder \windows but I cant seem to remember the folder.
If you find it, you will simply see 2 icons, delete the one with the (1) attached to it.
Let me know the directory please, I cant find it and my windows load time is long.
Should be windows\start menu\
I don't have any calculators in the Programs folder - where in the \Windows directory does the shortcut point to?
Just subtract
two
minus
one
equal
One.

yeah, it was there, it makes it easier to find, if you change the sort paramater to type.
I had this problem after doing a sprite back up as well, only my tilt changed the file explorer into the second calculator link. I had no way of getting in to try to fix it because I couldn't access file explorer to change it. I ended up doing a hard reset back to stock settings to get my file explorer back.

how to use total commander

I have total commander on my phone and i would like to try some reg tweaks to allow things like ringtones from my memory card, etc. but i dont know exactly how to go about doing it. are there any tutorials i can read, or can someone give me some pointers, i am really lost.
Ps. i have already searched the forum, and i found nothing.

using total commander to change reg is a pain. type \\ at the top and hit enter, you will enter the registry. hope it helps. took me sometime to figure it out.
hope this is helpful
to edit the registry using total commander first open the application and then hit the "\" key on the top right which will then take you to the "main page" of total commander, you will then see a folder list the first of which will read "\\Plugins" double click that or press and hold and select "open" after opening another folder list will appear with 3 folders named "ftp, LAN and registry" then either double click or press and hold and select open on the folder named "registry" and from there on its similar to most other registry editing programs with the 3 folders " HKCR, HKCU and HKLM"
i never really had a problem with accessing the registry. easiest is to just go to the root of your phone...when you open up total commander, go to the first file, and hit left on the direction...it'll move up to the parent directory...keep doing so, til you can't go any further...and you'll see a folder "\\"...click in to that and then the registry folder and you'll get the HKCR, HKCU, and HKLM folders to manipulate the registry.

as a bonus tip;
create a hotlist entry for quick future access
once in the registry select the show menu and then Directory hotlist
and you'll see Add current dir
hope it helps
I have a question about use of total commander. I have installed a program which allows multiple clipboard entries which starts with soft reset via a startup folder shortcut and needs to be "hidden" manually ...is there a command line parameter to add to the startup command to have it "hide" or "minimize" when it starts ?

Opera 9.5 beta- path for touchflo bookmarks?

Ive installed the latest opera beta and used various aps to have the new version of the browser (not the one that came with the phone) launch from the touchflo3d menus. However, it still seems to be displaying the bookmarks from the old opera, when I edit bookmarks in the new beta they don't display on the browser touchflo tab.
For now, I copied the opera6.adr file from the beta 9.5 application data folder and overwrote the .adr file in the windows programs directory where the standard opera that came with the phone stores its files.
However, is there a registry edit or app that will allow me to edit the path to the bookmarks file that touchflo uses in its interface?

I have a similar problem. How can someone replace the link in the touchflo tab of internet in order to point to a different browser and not the standard coming with HTC TD?
THANXX
anybody? I am having the same problem
Hi!
I had this problem and eventually found that it is hard-coded in one of the LUA scripts. Sorry, don't know which one from memory. I tried decompiling this script, but I could not get it compliled again - even without changing a character.
So I'm sorry to say that you can't do it that way.
There IS however something you can try:
Open Opera and type opera:config in the title bar.
Under "Saved Settings" and "User Prefs" there's a bunch of paths you can modify.
You might try the "Opera Directory" path under "User Prefs".
Hope this helps.
From a quick look at the first-boot-scripts it seems that the opera6.adr file is placed eventually in \windows\opera9\opera6.adr.
The default bookmarks are cooked in in a file \windows\_opera6.adr and when you first turn on your phone it copies / moves the file to \windows\opera9\opera6.adr. The path also comes up while searching through several _manila files so that also seems to be the location where TouchFlo is looking for the bookmarks.
If you want that Internet tab to be integrated with _another_ browser you have a lot of Decompiling, recompiling, editing of LUA code and hex-editing work to.
Changing browser to point to Opera Mobile 9.5 beta
Someone else posted this & I copied into a Word doc, so I apologize for not giving proper credit:
All you need to do is to modify a file named “InternetPortal-en-US.xml” which is located in \Application Data\Manila. Use the freeware application Total Commander to navigate to this file and once you locate it press the pen/paper icon on the bottom of the page and that will open the file on the screen so you can edit it. Just so everyone knows, we’re not tweaking the registry here. I’m just using Total Commander because it is more powerful than File Explorer so don’t be afraid of it
Ok, once the file is open in Total Commander just add one of the following lines after the line <InternetPortal> which is towards the top:
Opera is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
mobile\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
Internet Explorer is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
SkyFire is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\skyfire\skyfire.exe</BrowserExe>
Iris is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\iris browser\irisbrowser.exe</BrowserExe>
I installed Opera Mobile 9.5 beta to my storage card, so my new path is:
<BrowserExe>\storage card\program files\opera
*Note if you can't save your changes - make sure that the file isn't set on "read only" (click the hand holding the paper icon and uncheck the "read only" box. You may have to click twice to remove the setting)
Yeah I do not see that file anywhere
I have the Sprint branded HTC Diamond and the \Application Data\Manila folder does not exist, I am using Total Commander.

I saw this as a solution to make 9.5 default if you lose 9.5 as the default browser. Are you saying if I upgraded to 9.7 beta, this process will make my 9.7 bookmarks the bookmarks in the TF3D internet tab?

Registry Emergency ahhhhhh!

so i was messing around in totalcommander when all of a sudden i accidentally renamed a folder in the reg.
i am asking ANYONE to just post a list of files/folders that appear in \\\registry\HKLM\Software
I renamed a file to 'c' and my phone is now barely working...
thanks guys.
for the record im using LantisOS v3.01 if that makes any difference at all.
thanks
Not sure if it will help, but on the Sprint Touch Pro there is the following,
[HKLM\Software\XXXX] XXXX being the list below
Apps
Drivers
Google
Handmark
HTC
IA Style
L&H
LockStream
Microsoft
MIDI Engine
OEM
Opera
ScanSoft
SprintTV
Tegic
TI
XT9 Input Method​
Did you rename "software" itself to "c"?
This is common. The phone crawls and if you reboot it, it re-creates the software folder. Then you go into "c" and using total commander or such, copy all keys in the "c" folder over to the "software" folder. Should be ok after that.

Help removing a program

I know at least one of you have installed a program before on your Kaiser/Smartphone that wasn't able to be found in the "Remove Programs" option under settings.
I'm havin' this problem with a program called "TopOCR-Mobile LE."
It was an .exe file that had to be installed on the device. So I did, and now I can't seem to remove it. I deleted the .exe under program files, but the blank icons still remain (there's two of them 'cause I thought I could be smart and run the .exe twice and it'd ask if I would want to remove the program; it didn't - instead it just installed it TWICE).
Is there a way to remove those icons? I already used Regedit's and Total Commander's search features, but I couldn't find any files with the name "topocr" or "mtopocr" (it's installation name).
What are my options (besides throwing my Kaiser against the wall or hard resetting)?
Have you tryed to remove via active sync tools? If not in add remove programs and you think you got rid of it then go to Start Menu\Programs with Total Commander and delete the .lnk's
You could also look under HKLM\Software & HKu\Software to see if any REG left over.
Please be careful as we all know how the REG can be a dangerous place
If the icon you are speaking of is a shortcut under the Start Menu, or under Programs, then just browse to \Windows\Start Menu or \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete that .lnk file like stylez said.
Thanks guys. Removing the .lnk files got rid of it.
