copying XDA rom executable files

Hi
I have done a search on the site and come up empty. What I am after to do is copy the window executable files from my PDA (of most interest is IE) to an SD card or my comp.
The PDA blocks this, and while I have seen alot of unlocking programs in this forum I am yet to find one to allow me to copy the files direct.
Any help would be appriciated.

unable to open pocket word files they are NOT .doc extension

I copied some files from my QTEK S110 onto a friends laptop and they copied accross OK although they did not have a .doc file exension (it was something else) and then when I tried to open them from the new location I could not even after associating that file extension with WORD.
Whats going on?
Also does anyone know how I can se the file extensions of all files and unhide hidden files in file explorer on my pocket pc.
thx

the file extension for pocket word is *.psw to use them on word on pc i think it has to be converted. In pocket word you can click on tools then Save Document As.. do that and under the drop down list of file type you can save it as .doc .rtf .psw .txt and another file type.
about the hidden files if you tap the screen and hold it in the explorer and a menu will come up and theres a selection there for view all files, it unhides some files but not all files. I use Profiexplorer which comes with profimail which is a indepth explorer. it shows all files aswell as file extensions and you can change file extensions and so on

Simply set the active sync option to convert the Pocket Word <-> Word files on transfer. I though this was on by default.
Of course if you don't copy via AS (e.g. via the SD card), it won't convert.

"Of course if you don't copy via AS (e.g. via the SD card), it won't convert."
Sorry I didnt understand the sentence above. What does AS stand for? AND Did you mean that if I have copied my *.psw file onto my main memory (Permanent Save) that "Simply set the active sync option to convert the Pocket Word <-> Word files on transfer" wont work
I havent tried Active Sync yet.

AS = Active Sync
This converts the format for you when copying from one to the other.

If you haven't tried ActiveSync (AS) then you must be transferring the files via the SD card or perhaps BT or IR? This won't convert them - ActiveSync can convert the files on the fly as you transfer them between device and PC.

Thanks
@ mtbsoft
Thanks yes I am using BT though I do not have an SD card they are saved into my RAM - The S110 has 128MB instead of the usual 64. Thanks for your help

Hi
This can be of some help to someone....
I was having a lot of problems to sycn the data. I suspected that there was some goof up somewhere in the settings of my JJ. So I planned to restore my JJ to factory settings. But my biggest problem was contacts & calender items, as i know my JJ has the latest info than my outlook. I discovered a work around. I have done the following and it roked successfully:
I have copied pim.vol to my SD card. If you cant see the file, go to file explorer and select show all files. Now copy pim.vol to SD card. Done hard reset to my JJ. Overwrite the pim.vol file with the earlier copied one in SD card and viola.. all the data is back.
Now I am with all the data & even the sync is working fine. I hope this would be useful to somebody out there, when required.
It could be a good idea to copy the pim.vol onto SD cards fairly often. Then a hard reset when away from the pc and you can still have all your sync data!
cheers,,,

can't transfer files from device to pc

Someone can help me? I have Tom_B_B_v4[2].0_TouchFlo_Professional installed on my Artemis, and activesync 4.5 on laptop.
Is impossible to transfer files from device to laptop. It is possible only from laptop to Artemis. What can i do?
Many thanks!

if the files are located in the my doc dir then they should be mirroed onto the
my pda documents inside the my documents on the pc
otherwise one can use explore device
in activesync on the pc and copy the cab file
and paste it where one would wish on the pc

does'nt works.
Does'n work. This is the problem: if I try to copy a file (for example a Mp3) located everywere (internal or sd memory) in the pda, and paste in the laptop (desktop or folder), it seems than start copying file, but really does'nt.
(Sorry for my english)

sounds like a firewall (windows file sharing problem) try and run a network wizard on the pc and make sure you can share your C drive.
give it a go it should work.

I think is a problem of activesync 4.5. I read the guide online and in "transfer files" is written "does'nt work with all devices" (is written in Italian, I think this is the traslation)

solved?
I solved temporarily in this way:
On Activesync activate tranfer files, automatically create on desktop folder "my documents" where is possible manage files.
Then I installed "cardexport-wm5" on device. With this program is possible to switch usb connection to Actyvesinc or Cardexport; in this case the memory card is recognized by PC like an external USB drive. Is'nt so easy, but I do'nt realize still better.
However, I'm looking for a solution for this problem, and I am available to share my experiences, in this moment I think that is a bug of activesync 4.5. So, ask for administrators if possible open a topic for this problem.

Installing CAB files.

how do I install a CAB file directly to the phone?

just copy the cab file to ur Storage card through a memory reader. then start the CAB file from File Explorer
OR
Connect the Phone by its USB Connection. and then copy the file to any folder on device memory then choose the CAB file from the file explorer.
Easy Enjoy

Not sure on you're specific phone, but with the Hermes/Kaiser there is a settings somewhere NOT to delete the file when installed.
I have a folder on the MicroSD card called "Install" that has all the CABs to get it working after a hard reset. The only thing I don't have are my phone contacts and the like
One day I'll get there though....
Thinking about it there could be a field in one of the many tweaking tools for the UI

wm6 does not delete cabs after install. this happened to me on wm5. don't know how to disable that feature

usually activesync saves your contacts & when u do HR just name ur ppc back to the last name u used, then contacts should be added back to your contact list on the ppc.
another thing is to use pim backup software like pim backup which is free here: (can save emails/sms/mms as well!)

When I extract a cab file (and put it on my xda ii - wm6.1 rom) it is just an .xml file. When I open it on my laptop or xda ii it just comes up with html.
How do I get the cab to install?

If a cab is deleted after installtion, you can use Schap's Advance Config Tool to disable that.

You've 'extracted' too far. Programs like WinZip and WinRar by default list 'cab' files as archives. There is nowt wrong with this, as they are in a way. Except in this instance you don't want to see them as such.
Copy the .cab files to your PDA and install from there. Once the .cab files are on your PDA they are treated like an executable.
Got it
