First off does anyone know of a way to export the Windows Mobile 2003 Phone Edition Registry to an ASCII file that one can actually edit and then merge with the existing registry?
I'm trying to creat a CAB file for the Extended ROM on my XDA II that will restore all of my preferred settings like Owner Information, Notification Sounds, Caligrapher settings/serial number, default SIP, etc... but it's a real pain to have to go through PHM Regedit and copy down all these long strings into notepad on the desktop.
Any ideas?
use ssnap.exe as found in the xdadev special edition rom.
BEAUTIFUL!!! That works perfect! Thanks!
Everybody talks about registry changes but which program do we use? I could not find regedit.exe in the Windows folder. :?

Hi,
is there a way or a program to backup/restore the registry as .reg file,
or more important: restoring only parts of the registry
via a program "like" spritebackup. is there a reg editor which can export/import the registry partially?
thx a lot
I use kilmist/klimst registry editor (never remember the spelling).
That exports and can import registry files.
If you've got a full reg export, edit it in notepad on your PC to have just the bits you want, save and import on your PDA.

looks like ur the right man for my questions thx a lot

or just kill the process - unlocker
is there something similar for ppc available?
Hi again and one more question...

Guys, I was just asked how to prepare a cab file containing registry settings, to save you having to configure your registry manually each hard reset.
Anyway, the process is (relatively) easy!
Purists and coders would generally do this by writing your own installer cab. For this route, follow this thread and engage brain to OverDrive!
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/setupdll.html
However, the easiest way is to grab a copy of WinCE cab manager.
Install that app. Find any existing cab that you've used to install an app before. Load it into CabMan. Using the interface, remove all existing files and registry settings etc. Set your own Cab name, company name etc in the settings.
Then, you'll see on the file menu, there's an option to import a .reg file.
So: export all the registry settings you want to rebuild from your PDA, using a good registry editor. I recommend Kilmist Registry Editor .
Save each exported tree as eg 1.reg, 2. reg, etc.
Then, copy them onto your pc, open each file in notepad and copy and paste the contents of each into 1 large file, eg RegCompiled.reg. (You don't need to do this step, but for your own reference you may want them all in one place)
Then, import that into CabMan. Now, it may not work - I think you need to have a valid reg file, which is basicaly the same thing you've already got, but with a first line header saying:
"Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00"
No speech marks.
Grab this line for yourself by exporting something from your pc's registry using RegEdit, then load into notepad and grab the first line.
Ok, CabMan should now show the number of imported registry entries on the tree on the left.
That's it! Save, and then run on your PDA.
Try a test run first before relying on it for life and death!

I'm using for this purpose two regeditors - both freeware:
PHM registry editor [Philippe Majerus] v0.70 - for its search feature
TRE registry editor [TascalSoft] v0.90 - for import/export and ability to edit MULTI_SZ values.
There is one great utility: SSnap
Run SSnap before and after installation and compare files. Use any diff program or [my choose, but comercial] UltraEdit
baniaczek: thanks for the alternatives.
PHM is very good, but unfortunately at least in the previous versions, the export wasn't very helpful.
A good reg editor is a fairly essential tool, so use what you get on best with!

I have a question, is there anyway to make it so that the cab will also delete a registry key on the phone? any help would be appreciated. thanks.

The WinCE CAB Manager is the ultimate utility for developers of applications designed for the Windows CE operating system. But it's not freeware!
You might build the CAB online: http://www.supware.net/CabGen/
After successfully accessing file system on magellan triton 1500 described on http://tritonforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1289 i install OziCe (pna version) on it and it's working fine, but there is big problem. In Triton system core is missing soft keyboard so there is no way to register Ozice. I researched a bit and after comparing files and registry on triton and my ipaq i found that on triton is missing file softkb.dll in windows directory and also there is no registry entry like in my ipaq HKLM\\Drivers\BuiltIn\sip\ for activation of softkeybord on system startup.
So my question is if i just copy softkb.dll to windows directory on my triton an if i add entry in registry like on ipaq would that be enough to activate soft keybord?
Also does anybody know how to make backup of triton registry. I try with TRE and regedit but option export registry on both programs is not working.
tenx...
After one day of researching:
I was able to copy softkb.dll to windows directory of my triton but was unable to add entry in registry for SIP. Because there is no keybord only way to enter something into registry is to create .reg file and import that via registry editor. I extract reg key from my ipaq and try with 3 different registry editors to import it into triton registry but without success...
Unfortunately i haven't got a clue what you are adressing to here, but maybe this suggestion might help you?
How about you install something like 'Soti PocketController', or any other tool that let's you control your device through a PC (or mac for that matter) to enable your PC-keyboard as text-input?
Hope this helps!! Good luck!
