Hi guys,
I'm looking for the essential utility to install on my Jam... any suggestion?
I don't want to install a lot of programs that at the end change only the interface of the program just installed...
I'd like to install the program-sys-utility that the last ROM doesn't contains (like PowerPoint management... zip-rar management..)
Resco Explorer is a good replacement for your file explorer. It has every option available that you have in Windows XP, you can easily create shortcuts, encrypt files, change file associations and much more.
It also has inbuilt functionality for registry editing and network browsing of you're using Wifi or you're one of the very few people to get PAN through Bluetooth working.

Does anyone have a hack that would allow me to view and save data files at a lower folder than the first level?
I.e. my folder structure is \Personal\Financial\ but excel and word can only see files stored under \Personal\ and not the next folder down. I need to be able to access this second level from within the application.
Would be a great help to me.
If you haven't installed Mad Programmer's dialog changer, you're not using your pda properly.

Thanks vijay555 but this is not in relation to installing apps.
There is a particular problem in WM2003 whereby if I store for example my pocket excel files in the folder:
\Financial\Spreadsheets\
I cannot access this folder from Pocket Excel but only from File Explorer. Pocket excel will only show the files existing in the folder "Financial" here. It means that when I create a new excel (or any other document) from within the application, I have to save it to the "financial" directory first, then manually move it to the next folder down.
Same applies to Pocket Word, Listpro etc files (any files in fact).

pauldcullen: although the link I gave is talking about installing cabs and stuff, Mad Programmer's dialog changer hooks into the OS and changes all of the rubbish OS dialogs (that only allow you to see My documents etc) and replaces them with the more advanced kind that let you navigate anywhere.
The link I gave is a useful one on installing the app itself, because Mad Programmer's website is generally Japanese. But hopefully, try installing the app and you should be able to navigate anywhere for saving files.

Ensure you use the right version for your OS.

thanks a lot I'll give it a shot - any stability problems with it?
I've never had any and used it for > 1year on both Wm2003 and Wm5.

vijay I've installed it and it seems to work for SAVING new files into a sub-directory which in itself is great!
However, as soon as I OPEN pocket excel etc, I cannot see these files in the subfolders, only those in the parent folder - any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Paul
Hmm, I just noticed that...
It seens mad programmer only hooked the saving, not opening dialogs.
Not the best option I know, but I never open files using word, I use gsfinder to locate them and open directly by double clicking.
Other then that, I don't think Word was "designed" to show the subfolders as you've got them configured. PITA I know.

Anyone know how to associate .txt & .doc files with Word?? Or associate a file type to a certain program??
I dont know what happened, some how they got disassociated with Pocket Word. But than a strange thing happened, I connected my 8125 to my PC and synced with it. I transferred a couple of .doc files over to it and somehow they got associated with Word :-/. I tried to do the same with .txt files but no luck.
Does anyone have any insight on this?
This really chaps my nipples as well.
On Pocket PC X-2003 you could go into file explorer and change file associations right there. Apparently now they don't give people the option by default. What happens when some shmuck program hijacks a filetype? When I saw this functionality missing on my Cingular 2125 Smartphone I wasn't too dissapointed, but it's rediculous that they took this off the PPC platform also.
I think you can still do this with various tweaking programs. Just make sure that they support WM 5 before even thinking about it. Not sure if you can find this in freeware or commercial. If you spot anything good that's freeware, please let us know.
RESCO Explorer can do it
Cheers
hrb
or you can have a look at the reg fr word, i have found powerpoint and excel, not sure where word is!!
I think gsfinder can do it, for free.
V
I couldn't find an option with GsFinder to associate apps...but i did one one with Resco Explorer.
Is there anway to change the icon to Pword for a file?? Its still the same as before, but it's working nonetheless. Thanx
GSFinder:
(Menu) - View > Options > File Types (tab)

As we all know, a registry editor is pretty important when modding our devices. I personally hate doing registry edits on my wizard and it JUST SO HAPPENS that today while searching for a new registry editor (i lost my wizard in toronto a week ago and didnt have any software for it anymore!) i found one that works wonders and is based from a PC instead of the PPC. seems to work well for me. check it out! it is attached and it is freeware. it seems to work great with WM6 so i would say its safe to assume it will work with at the very least 5 also if not older versions of WM.
just thought id give back to the community since i have used this resource time and time again!
Total Commader and Task Manager, which come with many custom ROMs, already contained a full-featured registry editor with import/export functions, so why install another one?
this is not based from the PPC if you read my post. its much easier to navigate via your pc as i mentioned in my post.
Just use mymobiler. You can do EVERYTHING on your mobile from your desktop with that program. Then TotalCommander or another program can retain their value as multifunction programs capable of file management, text file editing, and registry editing.

personally as a geek myself, if there is an app that removes the actual interaction of the PPC and moves it into a native windows app id much rather use that. the problem with this app is it still mimics the physical interaction of the PPC. something the registry editor i posted above isnt doing. its mimicking regedit in windows but accesses your PPC.
just to prove my point here are two pics of examples.

BTW, i tried to use the key i used when i bought Resco Explorer 2007.. and it worked. i believe it's perferctly legal.
probably shouldn't have opened a new thread for it.. if a mod can transfer my post to the previous Resco Explorer 2008 post and delete this one.. it would be good.
Thanks

UNABLE TO COPY to windows folder
With REsco 2007, u can copy files such as HTC HOME graphics to windows directory. This feature DOES NOT WORK on Resco 2008.
What a pity....they improved the interface and broke basic things this SW was designed to do in the first place....BASIC file function.....Wat the heck are they doing? First the delete function now this? MAN.....
man.. i don't know... it works fine for me.
Can somebody please help me with Registry Editor? I am using Romeos 1.9a and I need to add certain files in to the Windows folder using a Registry Editor. I have tried to use the included Total Commander registry editor but I am getting stuck as I do not see any option to import the DLLs I need or even to paste them manually
I am basically looking for a solution to be able to stream live tv programmes using winmo side which is a new service introduced by my service provider using 3G. I have downloaded and installed the HTC Streaming Media Cab but I also need to add some DLLs associated with the cab to be able to launch the streaming app. I simply do not know how to add the DLLs to the Windows folder using Registry Editor. The procedure and materials needed are explained in a different forum. See Post # 90 by Shahad.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=288857&page=9
This is of course for a different device but I believe similar steps should work with a liberated Shift as this is HTC's own streaming media app.
Somebody please help.....
Nevermind, will answer my own query. I managed to add the files using Total Commander Desktop together with Total Commander CE Plugin. But this adding the files caused the system to be unstable I had to re-install winmo. So this does not work. Just thought of posting this in case somebody reads the post and tries to get HTC Streaming Media app to work with the Shift.....
Closed as solved
