what are good programs that i can put on my MDA
someone showed me resco explorer but that cost money and someone showed me Wizard_registry_tweaks. from this site.
but when i install it, it doesnt show up under start/programs.
can someone help me with that, or just show me an alterenative registry program?
Check out this link
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/utilities_registry.shtml
It is a link to Freewareppc.com's registry utilities page. I like resco exlorer myself but a good second choice is the PHM registry editor (4th link on page)
TotalCommander CE is great, and its FREE! Just google "total commander"
File explorer, Registry, etc
I use regedit_820.exe

The Wizard_registry_tweaks is not an application. When you run the .cab file, it puts the registry entries contained inside the cab into your registry. After a soft reset, the changes should be good to go.

Anyone use a registry Editor for Universal? What is the best one out there?
I personally use Resco File Explorer, hit two (well technically three) things on the head with one program
excellent program, superb file explorer, with built in ftp and registry editor.
*edit* need sleep, corrected typo
Yer i find resco the triple whammy aswell
A simple Google search would reveal some excellent freeware alternatives to Resco, or you could even search these forums. :roll:
As your starter for ten, try searching for "TRE registry editor" or "PHM regedit". Both of those are free and work perfectly for me on my Exec.
Hi all,
1st, does wm5 contain a registry editing utility?
2nd, what is the best FREE registry editor? (plz provide links, if any)

Total Commander!
total commander rocks (and is free).
it has a registry editor and a file explorer and a ftp client
it is a MUST HAVE on any PocketPC
get it at http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm

Hello SkyyBoy, i tried Total Commander... Stupid question, but how do you access the registry editor?
start total commander
keep hitting the .. (top right corner) until you reach the top level
then open the folder named \\
inside there is a folder named registry
bingo! 8)
Thanx all, I will try them both and then I will choose, I may report anything here.
THANKS 8)
I tried two regedit, TotalCommander and RegEditCe. I've noticed that both regedit doesn't provide (TotalCommander doesnt provide, RegEditCe doesn't work) the function of searching 'values' of the registry keys. Total Comm is able to search for registry key itself, not value. Any other recommendation?
I strongly recommend PHM Registry Editor. It is freeware (although the author does have a PayPal donation button on his site I would encourage you to use), and is available from http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/.
When you go there, you'll notice it has not been updated in quite a long time. Don't worry about that however - it hasn't been updated because it is such a solid app that there has simply been no need for updates.
You'll find ALL the info you need HERE.

Great... Thanx ...
Thanx all, great help, I think this article would be a good reference for all interested people. Thanks again
Searched high and low on the forums and wiki, but can't find an answer. Which registry editor are people using?
Thanks,
Chris

For me am using Total Commander.
Not solely a registry editor, but allows access to registry to views keys etc. Also gives you ftp, enhancement to the file explorer and much more and above all that its free!!
BTW: Used to use PHM Registry editor but total commander replaced it as it was duplicating the same function.
Matt
phm.
it's my favourite price - free! :lol:
Good stuff, thank you both...

RESCO is your friend
Resco appears to be the best registry editor - or so the forums and reviews say. It certainly makes life easy for me. It also comes with a 31 day trial... so you can check it out
Make sure you get the WM5 one under Smartphones on their website though.. I think that the other ones have 14 day trials

Where can i find RESCO registry editor? Is it free?
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp#registry
not free -
my favorite is mobile registry editor.
i hate editing the reg through the phone. id rather do it from my laptop via cable or bluetooth.
second hiimcliff, but i use SOTI POCKET COMMANDER.. also OP, most cooked ROMS come with built in registry editors. i know my black majik came with one.
PHM
PHM Registry Editor is intuitive to me for regediting, so I continue to use it. Small, free, does registry backups, stores 'favorites', can directly copy key names to the clipboard, multi-pane display, and I've never had any problems with it.
I also have Total Commander installed and love it for file management, but I usually need to use both panes for file management and cant spare one for reg editing The ROM I burned came with TRE, but I removed it.
For some reason PHM doesn't install on my vista computer. Any ideas?
Tasco Registry editor is one of the best and is free.
It will also import reg files so customizations can be saved and restored without having to re-do them manually after hard resets
PHM will save reg files but will not restore them..
I use both PHM Registry Editor and Total Commander, but prefer PHM for it's simplicity.
@celicatoe46m3: PHM install's on the device not the PC.
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)

Complete newbie....
How do I get to find this folder (HKLM/Software...) ?
Can I still reset the phone to factory default after putting in some cab files?
regards Helle (very new to this)
HKLM (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) is not a folder. It is a root key in the registry , which is basically a common store for windows and windows application where they keep some settings and other various information (though this does not mean that any setting you can change on your phone is held in the registry. Some are. Some aren't.)
You need a registry editor to edit the registry. The two most commonly recommended are Resco (you need Resco Explorer + the registry add-on), and Total Commander. Either work fine, but Resco is not free.
In answer to your second question, yes, you can factor reset the phone after installing cab files and it will get rid of them (if they were installed on the device, not the storage card). Depending on what you've installed, you may be able to get rid of them with a simple "remove programs" from the settings. Some mods don't uninstall, so a hard reset is a good way to get rid of them. Just be aware that a hard reset obviously means that you'll need to set up your phone from scratch again, so you'll probably want a backup before you do it.
Hope this helps mate
You can also use PHM RegEdit to edit the registry.
thanks for your fast reply...
I did look at Rescos, but also at Soti's (which looks pretty cool)
Would Soti's be a good buy?
I think a free registry editor for winmo is more than enough.
TotalCommander for copy and a remote Regedit additional - also free - and you don't need more for your purposes.

okay... buying a product doesn't really bother me that much, I mean it's not like a million dollars, and I can do it from my PC (I guess I thought it would be easier to write etc.
