Unable to fully delete program....why?

Ok here's the thing, I downloaded and installed a program from "Skyscape" but couldn't get it working successfully and now can't seem to fully "get rid of it".
Everytime I connect to PC a window briefly pops up (I think its something looking for updates) and everytime I explore my Storage Card through my PC I can see the following folder "Skyscape_Backup".
Everytime I delete it and everytime I plug back in its there again :?
Please Help...
What can I do?
Cheers for any assistance,
marto

How are you deleting it?
Have you used add/remove programs?
After that, check your windows\start up folder and also the program folder it might have been installed in on your device.
If it's still there, it might be a service. Use SKTools to clear that kind of rubbish. Backup first though, danger will robinson, destroy all operating systems...

Yep tried "remove programs" which now no longer lists the problem program, also tried deleting through PC. Can't see anything which has the same sort of name in "windows" and "startup" except maybe (and thats a big maybe) ssdeviceid application.
Can't see anything in my book about SKTools I assume its a download?
Will have a search through the forum database and so on
Thanks for your input V.

Yep, sktools is a download.
Is the window that's popping up on the pc or the pda? You didn't state I think.
Also, check in activesync. beneath where it shows all the syncing progress, does it show anything related to skyscape there?

Sorry for the delay V (was trying to figure out how to do screen shots)
Yep the popup is at the PC's end.
I installed SKTools it looks pretty dangerous... is there any particular function from it I should be using?
Cheers, marto

Oops forgot to mention "no" nothing seen in ActiveSync.

Yep, don't worry about sk tools. I thought it made sense that the program was on your pc.
Have you removed the program from your PC?Again, use add/remove programs on pc to remove all trace, then check this program: Autoruns
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html
Check each tab for possible entries. the program obviously tries to sync itself with the PDA everytime. I hate programs that are so misbehaved and think they know better.
For the PDA, backup often so you can always go back to a clean-ish setup.

Hmm no success looking with Auotruns, and nothing in "Add/remove".
Was thinking while crashed out on the sofa that I might try to install it all again then uninstall it in a more stable way (I think I may have done it a bit all over the place) otherwise might blast off an email to there support....
Another day more time to play... :lol:

[APP] WM5torage

This is not my application, it's an app by Ingvarr (a MoDaCo user). Ingvarr has released this app which reached version 1.9 over the time.
This program will export the flash memory card inside the smartphone as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary "usb disk") - effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. Its completely free, but if you find it useful, you can show your gratitude by donating to author: Make A Donation!
With WM5torage you can attach your device to a PC just like you would with regular Flash Drives or Removable Disks, skipping the ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center connection. This is especially useful because it offers higher transfer speeds and in scenarios when you do not want to sync with your PC or set up sync on another PC. WM5torage works on both Professional and Standard versions of Windows Mobile 5 or higher. If you are having problems with the operation, use the options in Troubleshooting.

For the FAQ and original post on MoDaCo click here...

the diamond already has an option for this when you connect to the PC?
choose between active sync or Disk Drive yes?

yes, you can select to connect with activesync or via usb mode.
the app is unuseful... (BTW i have used it with my previous pdas)

My Device does not give me the option of connecting via Activesync or USB mode!

goto setting - connections - USB to PC
then check if 'ask me first about USB connection...' is selected

I got that, thanks anyway.

Unzip file on the phone?

I am trying to install the registry editor PHM Reg Edit. I've copied the MSI file I downloaded to the memory card but when I click it I get this message - There is no application associated with PHMRegEdit.
Any ideas? Do I need to install an unzip program?

Run the MSI from your pc with the phone connected - it will install it on your device. You can only install files on your handset via .cab files.

I did try that first and it installed on my PC but not the phone? I can't find it anywhere!
I'm connected via active sync, I'm assuming that's right?

Well, then you should be prompted with the choice of installing the software...Anyway, if you run the msi on your PC, you now have somewhere on your hard disk, the cab for regedit, you can copy it to your SD and install it from there directly on the HD2

you could also download the cab instead of the msi

Yes I'm prompted but doesn't give the option to choose the phone. After installing it on the PC I tried running setup and I get a box popup asking me to add/remove programs on the phone?
Screenshot below are the files that it's installed on the PC, nothing is on the phone?!!

[Guide] Control PC through HTC Touch Elf(in)

Hi guyz. I am no programmer but i came across this little tool and thought might share it with you guyz. I am just an End User and the complete credit to this App goes to the Admin of T2 Remote Touch
Okie herez the steps itz very simple :-
1) Download T2 Remote Touch Delta v2.0
2) Connect your Phone through Active Sync and Run the MSI file and Install T2 Remote Touch.
3) Next you will get and option to Install the App in the Phone with Message "Install T2 Remote Touch using the default Installation Directory". If you want to install the app in Phone Memory Click yes Else Select no and Select your Storage Card (Recommended).

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4) Now go to your phone and complete the setup.
5) COme back to your desktop and Finish the Setup.
6) You will see a window with 2 ip Addresses one to control through Internet and one through local WiFi or WLAN. Note down watever u need and press any key to continue.
7) Next Step is to configure the Server Right click the Remote Touch Server Icon in the SysTray and click Setup. These setup the port no. and the password for your server. If your server is behind a router then make sure to allow the port no. u set for port forwarding.
8) All done now start the app in your mobile. Most probably you will get a Authentication Failed, because the default settings might not work for everyone. Go to Menu > Setup. Put in there the IP Address, Port and Password you have and all done you can now control your PC from your mobile after connection.
9) Use Scroll to move through the desktop and tap for left click. I hope u can figure out the rest of it.

Batch file utility to create ad-hoc network or hotspot in Windows 8

Windows 8 is awesome. However it doesn't have the ability to create ad-hoc networks from Network and sharing center. The only way is to use netsh utility from CMD every time you want to start or stop your network. .
So I created a batch file to automate this process. All you have to do is to start it as administrator, follow the instructions and voila!. No need to open cmd again and again
This utility creates an adhoc network. You can use it for streaming Videos and Music or playing LAN games.
For Internet sharing aka Hotspot
Go to Network and Sharing Center –> Change adapter settings
Right click on the device which is connected to internet and select Proerties
Now, open Sharing tab, enable Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection, and then choose the newly created ad-hoc connection from the list
PS. Was wondering if mods can change the topic to "Connec8 - Wifi hotspot utility for windows 8"
Thanks

[RESERVED]
Anyone tested this on Surface or any other tablet running Windows RT? Would like to know if it works. Thanks
Next update will include ability to save a profile for quick start hotspot without setup
