What's the best file explorer program? I'm looking for one that can drag files, and also select multiple files by scrolling down (i.e. if one file is highlighted, you put the pen on the file, and move it down the list, highlighting files as you move over them). A link to the .CAB file would be appreciated.
Thanks,

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

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.
noob question...i managed to copy the kaisertweak.exe to \My Documents\Personal by just browsing to it and doing a 'Save As'. However, this doesn't seem to work for the XML...it wants to display it in the browser. I've tried renaming the xml file with a .dat extension, an .exe extension and without an extension...but it won't let me download the file. What's the best way to get the xml file from the web (http://www.fxnexus.com/storage/kaiser/kaisertweak.xml) to my device?
(I don't want to use an intermediary PC to transfer files.)
thx, fxs.

all you got to do is in your browser hit FILE > save page as. select only save xml, not full page. if that dont work, then just go here and download the ZIP file that contains both the new kaisertweak exe and xml files.

On IE ...on my device?? I don't have a File Menu option!
Once I load the xml file within IE...all I have at the bottom is a 'Back' menu option, and a 'Menu' menu option. 'Menu' has Edit, View, Tools etc...but no 'File'.
I tried doing a Edit --> Select All --> Copy and then, went into Word Mobile to paste it all and save as text...but then, I'm left with a '.txt' file that I cannot rename to '.xml'.

do it on your PC not in the WM. if you insist on using your device to dl, then i suggest installing a unzipper. then you can just download that kaiser tweak zip file to your phone. unzip it on the phone and you got both the exe and xml right on the phone.
Can't install Kaisertweak on AT&T Tilt
I've tried installing this two ways:
1. On my PC: when I click the .exe file, I get the message: "KaiserTweak.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
2. On my Tilt: when I click on the .zip file, it shows KaiserTweak.exe and KaiserTweak.xml, but the latter file has the Opera browser icon next to it and the description "Unknown Type." When I tap on KaiserTweak.exe, I get the message: "Unable to open file \Windows\-IA Zip Temporary Files\KaiserTweak.xml". Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption. Press Cancel to kill the program." When I press OK, nothing happens: I'm brought back to the display of the .exe and .xml files.
I'm assuming the program is not installing, and that I'll know that the installation was successful when I see KaiserTweak when I select Start/Programs.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install various cab's, the ones that I have tried in the past have been one cab file. I simply transfer it to my phone and open it there.
But... some recent files appear as multiple files after I unrar them, none appear to be a traditional "cab" and I can't work out what to do with the them.
Any advice gratefully taken!
That maybe because you are extracting what you have downloaded.
What extension are they when you first download them?
Give us some examples of the full file names after extraction.
Mike
Hi Mike.
The one file for example is the Intent midlet manager, it shows _setup.xml and files such as loads of JMMFIL after I use winrar on them. Should I not be unraring them and just placing the downloaded file on the phone?
It does show as a winrar file, very confused!
In a stunning turn around of events I am an idiot, no need to extract them at all! Thanks all!
Generally a cab file will be seen by winrar/winzip as a compressed file if you open it on your pc. But normally a cab file should be copied to your phone (main memory or storage card) and run from there - no need to extract.
Hi, when you go into the "media" folder on your tab, is it possible to add more folders there then the stock photo, video, download?
Yes, its possible
And how do you do it?
Use the stock file manager "my files", or download astro file manager or efile from the market.
or use your pc/mac via usb
Using your tab only, click "my files" icon and navigate from there to wherever you want to place your new folder. Then use the context button to reveal the new folder menu, as well as rename and details options.
by the way, you might also be interested in a better media browser than the stock, use quickpic from android market.
also, if you add a blank file (usually a txt file) named .nomedia at the root of a folder which contains some files, the files won't get picked up by the media scanner and stay hidden, but will still be seen by file explorer like My Files.
