Beware!...cause if U have changed to SD card...it stop responding after a while and it makes back to default windows folder!...I suggest to use the Storage folder for ringtones...not the SD card.
For the reminder...I don`t know the answer sorry... :roll:

Don`t know mate...but I have to change it every day...cause it always change it to a default directory... :roll: Look at the thread about it...which ROM version do u use?
Regards,
Primoz
p.s. I was using it with Caller ID...

I have Untouched ROM 1.03.00WWE
When i choose a file and press "set as a ringtone" it SAYS " Copied to \windows\rings\****
But when i check the rings Folder it never does...i don't know
But it is working perfectly even when it wakes up from suspend state or after a SR.
I read the thread about...
Now i wanna know if i can do the same to Themes and alarms

AFAIK for themes you can do it. just place the themes on an SD card or Storage and copy ignore_my_docs to the root and they should appear on your selection screen. As for reminders I haven't seen anything on that yet.

Thank you, worked like a charm.....
Now any1 knows about the reminders?

your welcome been looking around the registry and I've found only one entry for it.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Notifications\Reminders\
doesn't seem to be a directory entry like in rings though.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Notifications\Reminders\
I have seen that before tried to make some changes, but nothing happened.
i appreciate the help
Still looking for a definite answer to whether if it is possible or not?

Please help with this registry entry

Hi,

Somehow when I uninstalled a program it deleted my inbox/messaging registry setting for the today screen?. Can someone browse to hkeylocalmachine/software/microsoft/today/items and give me all the details for "Messaging" or is it "Inbox" with all the reg keys for it.
Thanks...

I'm attaching a screen shot of the "Messaging" entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\ hope this helps.

Thank you so much bnycastro Now I don't have to hard reset just to get back my messasing.

glad I could help :wink:

Please help me out here!
I installed PHM reg software but can't find it on the phone at all or get access to the registry, i've been looking through the foum because i didn't want ask about something thats discussed already but can't find what i need.
Please help!!

its in the programs folder

PHM REgEdit
jfran,
PHM Reg EDIT sometimes does not gfet installed if you download the msi file and install the same using active sync. In Active Sync, it points to the file as already installed but you will not find it under programs
Instead download the CAB file and install using cabInstal. You can find the CAB file also in the same place as when you found the msi file in Phillippe's web site
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Deepak

Change directory for messages?
Is it possible to change the default directory for saved messages to a directory on an SD card instead of the default directory in windows/messaging?

Unable to use mp3 file as a ringtone

Hello
I have MDA compact, and does anybody knows how can i set a mp3 file as ringtone ?
Please !!
Thanks

i think it is possible, i tried this in my i mate pda2k try it and tell us the result.
first use rescue registry which usually comes with rescue explorer then open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT THEN MP3 THEN DEFAULT THEN CHANGE MP3FILE IN THE SECOND SQUARE TO BE WMAFILE THEN OK
PUT THE MP3 RING TONE IN FOLDER WINDOWS\RINGS
THEN TRY TO MAKE IT RING TONE
THX

Thanks
This knids hard way, i really dont understand that

Man,u should install a reg editor first.Because u have to modify the registry.

yes
u have to use a rigistery editor program which i gave u the name rescue registry program
then open this program then follow up the steps
it is easy

There is a much easier way.. I have attached CAB file that once installed, will allow you to select an MP3 as a ringtone.. Simply find the file in File Explorer & under properties, select 'Set As Ringtone'

Hey, you don't need to do any registry hacks or stuff like that. Just copy your MP3 file to the /Windows/Rings folder and your MP3 file will be available for selection in the list. It's that easy!
Alternatively, install the following application that will add a new menu option "Set as Ringtone" when you tap and hold on an MP3 file in the built-in File Explorer.

Thanks
Is there no much easier way to do that, i suppose if we assign the ring tone to a contact name i think there should any option you can assign the ring tone to a group and transfer all contact into that group ?
or any other way if some one know ?
thanks

I've tried the CAB method before.But the program will copy the MP3 file to Windows\ring\ It ocuppys the precious and pitiful storage space.
I think a better way is to modify the registry to set the ringtone path to the Storage Card...

CABS dissapear from my minisd why?

Hello everybody.
Whenever I install a .cab from my miniSD card it dissapears from the miniSD card. Why is this? Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance.

Thats what WM does. It will remove the original CAB files once you have installed it. To solve this, copy a backup of the CAB file before installing.

Ot make a CAB not delete after running it. copy the file to your SD via your PC and then right click on the file and make it Read only.
Once read only the file will not be delete after being run.

Or just set the file properties to read only using TotalCommander /GSFinder etc. That way you can keep them all on your SD card in case you need to reinstall away from your PC.

bryanz, click on cabinstl.exe. check the option <Do not delete cab file>. The default is unchecked (blank). This solves ur problem

Hi blogg buster, in what folder is that file?
Thanks for all your replies.

cabinstl is a freeware program for WM2003 which lets you to choose whether to install the application to main memory or SD card, (which WM5/AS4 now does itself), and the option to keep the cab, which you can do anyway by setting the RO attribute. So IMHO it's not really needed on the Wizard.

OK, thanks a lot Ineedtoys

Ineedtoys, I think bryanz may be right but from what I gather u are running smthing which looks like cabinstaller. Check from Start>program to see whether u have cab installer. if not, then discard my suggestion. Another way is to use the FIND option from ur file explorer to find "cabinstl.exe" .
Good luck

This little cab will stop all cabs installed after it from being deleted, although it will delete after you use it. It probably is the same as putting a check mark in the cabinstl.exe program.

The only file I can find on my WM5 and 2003SE machines is a cabinstl.dll in ROM, which cannot be run directly. So if you have a "cabinstl.exe", you must have installed the freeware add-on?
Which is largely redundant in WM5 anyway, apart from letting you see or extract the contents of the cab prior to installation.

I have posted on other forums the reverse issue for some people with other WM5 devices.
Kevin Tofel and James Kendrick of MobileTechRoundup have mentioned that on their WM5 phones - Verizon 6700 and Treo 700w, that any installation .cab files that they install are not deleted after the app is installed. I wonder if the above little cab (or something like it) has been installed on some OEM devices.
Any ideas how to reverse this and have the cab deleted for those that don't have the functionality.

There's actually a registry setting that controls this. Here's a quote from a registry tweak thread on Treo Central exlaining how:
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (1)
If you wish to keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application, set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Or to restore to the default:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (2)
An alternative method of making WM5 keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application is by adding the "/nodelete" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
I trialed a 700w for a while and noticed that it would delete cabs installed from main memory but not from SD. I'm wondering if nDynamicDelete = 1 sets this behavior.

[Q] Notifications tones on HD2-WP7

Where do i go to add Notifications tones on HD2-WP7
PLZ help

Im trying to edit the registry to enable custom sms tones etc. right now... I think this is the only way to do it currently.

Using the registry editor I found HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LocalizedNameMap
this is where all the alerts and alarms are set up. However the reg edit doesnt allow to change value name which points to the file name...

Got to http://touchxperience.com/ and there is a few tools you can download, but i use there advanced config tool. Have a look and see.

I read somewhere that you could sync files to the device using Zune and then move them using touchxplorer. I believe that you have to rename wma files and then overwrite the existing notification sounds in windows directory.
