If like me your imate jamin has no icon for cab files I have the solution
Edit the registry and change the following value to read
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cabfile\DefaultIcon]
Edit the (Default) so it reads
shellresapps.dll,-15618
Or run the attached cab file.
Or import the reg file (if you have a registry editor which can)
Nice job - worked on my wizard too :wink:
Im just not too sure why the value was set to what it was, it simply doesnt work.
I noticed on my WM5 emulator it all looked fine so just copied and pasted the correct key.

Hi All,
I am meddling with my ext rom. I am setting it to auto install s/w upon hard reset. it works fine. I found out that when i hard reset the pda and phone volume is set to half. How do i make it to full ? Also, i would like to know
how do i move some files to some other folders. eg: ringtones, etc.
One option is to use the CAB Wizard and create a Small CAB File with your settings for Registry - Cab wizard allows you to put files into specific folders etc and all this you can do without writing ONE SINGLE LINE OF Script.
Another option is to do it via script :
In the config.txt you can add the lines :
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\CabInstall.exe
CPY2:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CabInstall.exe
Means the Cabinstall.exe will be copied from the extended_Rom to the Programs folder in Windows\Start Menu.
The Registry keys you can check out on the link :

If they are not there - PM me and I shall send them to you...

thanks! I downloaded the PHM Reg editor and followed the instructions under Microsoft Application Installer -> Changing the setting so that it asks you where to install a cab on the link above..
It worked.. my ipaq now ask me where to install the cab files!
brilliant... thanks again!
Hello,
can anyone tell me if there a good instruction somewhere about producing an executable .reg file for the WM5 platform (Qtek 9000 PPC as well as Qtek 8300 Smartphone) ?
It should contain modifications to the registry which should be applied upon exectuting this file.
(With thge help of a second such file I'd like to reset the initial reg values back.)
Thanks in advance.
well
just look inside a .reg file with notepad.
example:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.2bp]
"Content Type"="image/bmp"
"Default"="bmpimage"
"PerceivedType"="image"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.3gp]
"Default"="3gpfile"
that's it...
im sure u understood what should be done...
To make it executable you need to write a custom app or import the reg settings into a cab and load the cab.

How do i make a .reg file delete a value in the registry ??
I think you insert a - before the key
I'll have to google to confirm, but I'm cooking right now

Thanks to all !
Yes, just this would be my prime question:
Is there any documentation on how to make it executable by "transforming it into a cab file" ?
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!

Hi guys,
Question....does someone maybe know the registry settings to enable the mms folder in WM5?
Sure I know I can use a cab for it, but I am trying to find out what registry settings are needed to enable the MMS folder without installing the CAB file.
I am looking for the specific settings for a HTC Wizard, but settings from another HTC phone would be a good indication to start (I hope).
Regards, thanks and to all a very happy new year (of developing),
Molski
One of the CAB files I posted (I think) had it in it.. And I know I've seen the keys around here somewhere.. Unfortunately, I don't have an 8125 any more though, and I'm not quite finished with poking around my 8525 yet (planning on unlocking the ExtROM today so I can start deciphering CAB files).
I'll let you know what I come up with from the 8525 perspective.
I found your CAB file and I extracted it.
Unfortunately the same results as I have with the T-Mobile MMS Folder cab....it doesnt work
I install the CAB file, the MMS folder shows up, I export all the MMS Registry settings, do a hard-reset, import all the Registy settings and no MMS folder showing up.
I think it has something to do with the following registry values:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\EntryID]
"Deleted Items"=dword:00009F00
"Inbox"=dword:0000F79F
"Outbox"=dword:00005FBB
After a hard-reset and installing this CAB file every time the values are different??
Could be. I'm honestly not too sure. But whateve reg values are in that CAB I've used over countless resets.
I'm getting ready to walk out the door in a few minutes, but when I get to my buddy's place I should be able to sit down for a few and look at the CAB and see what's in there again and go from there.
Take a good look at the values I posted....I really think it has something to do with those values changing every time you install the cab after a hard-reset.
Thanks!
Molski
Which CAB file are you using? I see a couple that I've posted.. Want to make sure I'm looking at the right one..
Beside having the MMS Folder to appear, I think you should have a service provider cab in ExtRom to configure to the right Service Provider's Server or you have to manually key it.
I am not sure if Wizard is the same.
cab files like mms folder and contain the values of certification on them it cannot be integrated so far, i tried,when you install a cab like mms, it writes several numbers to the cert part of the registry,once you install another cab that contains cert values ,it just overwrites the old values .
this is why the service providers never integrates such settings.
all this values that the mms cab writes to the registry can be found in the .XML file ,but must of them are build in the setup .dll ,the dll is coded with a set of instructions ,and this are the one that enable mms.
lets say you manage to extract all the reg settings for mms,then build into a custom cab this is all fine,but now you also want to integrate lets say..smardialing,well u cant because when you export the reg settings from one it overwrites the other because they use the same address in the registry.(cert}
I already have integrated SmartDialing in the default.hv and it works, will install a few cert apps and check if Smartdialing still works.
The only thing that is giving problems so far are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\EntryID]
"Deleted Items"=dword:00009F00
"Inbox"=dword:0000F79F
"Outbox"=dword:00005FBB
I checked every settings that is created by the MMS folder Cab, but only these settings will change after installing the CAB.
But after reading your answer Faria, I think we cannot create inbox folders for whatever via the default.hv, is this true?
Thanks,
Molski.

Smart Dialing working?
When?
How?
Where?
Please tell us.
These registry values are included in default.hv and/or user.hv
And it works
Maybe I forget something, but test it and let me know!
Molski
p.s. These Reg values are from a HTC Wizard

yes smartdialing works .i did it a month ago....but mms no.
once you put the cert settings for one of those cabs into the default hive its fine... but if you put another cab settings from another program into it,it gets overwrited .

Does this works on Universal Helmi Aku3.5 V1.3?
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!
