Hi Folks
I've broken something. I know, it had to happen. All this "playing around" with my new toy (No, not like that! )
Going to PocketWord and it'll open something that I don't recall putting in there. This turns out to be a file in the "My Documents" called "CONFIG" that had loads of characters that are not letters, you know, like symbols and the like?
If I goto Menu / File / New it gives the message
"A problem with the document was encountered and it cannot be opened".
I suspect I've deleted something I shouldn't have Help?!

Ok... First I don't think the config file in my documents is vital and I would delete it. (if your concerned about it then copy it somewhere-else and then delete.
On a PC Word uses a template for blank documents called normal.dot but on Pocket Word it uses blank.dot This file should be present in the windows folder in main memory.
After deleting the config file, I would try word again.
If it still fails to open a new wod doc, then look to make sure the template file blank.dot is present.

Hi Mike
I checked and there wasn't a blank.dot file in the windows folder, so I managed to open an word doc I already had, blanked it and saved it as blank.dot where you suggested. I closed word and tried again only to find the same error message.
So does this rule out an error with that side of word, and otherwise what would you suggest?
TIA

This is a little mysterious! Firstly because the original blank .dot is protected and should not be able to be removed normally. I suspect it's become corrupted. Still the replacement should have been ok. However, lets hope all your templates are not corrupted. Open a doc in word and go to menu>tools>options>default template and choose another, say memo. Close out of word and reenter. It should open and when you press new a memo should appear. A bit of a pain but until a better solution comes along you can always delete the memo lines and treat as a blank doc.
Will check around to see if there is another way to replace blank.dot

Thanks, I've had a look in the options and for "Templates" it is blank. There are NO templates at all on the machine

Good grief what have you been upto - thought I was the only one who manged that sort of thing!!.
Perhaps you could PM POF and see if he knows a way of reinstalling Word or using the ROM cab files to re-install without having to do a full hard reset. Failing this all you could do would be to create your own blank template but it would not automatically open when you tap new because I think New can only be set to one of the four standard templates - Blank, Memo, Metting Notes and one other I forget. Certainly when I created a template and put it in the templates folder it listed the official four but not mine in the drop down list for the new document default template. (i.e the list that's now empty for you)

Nope, no chance of that....
There are plenty of "us" around
One shall, er, carefully dig
Ah ha!
I have found that I do actually have some files in the windows directory that are templates.
blank meeting memo phone todo
These did momentarily have Word Template icons moments ago, and tried to go in via Word again but now the icons match up with notes.
blank 0b
meeting 1.55k
memo 2.06k
phone 1.96k
todo 3.02k
Right clicking over "blank" reveals that it is read only. I have tried but I cannot remove the RO flag. I am hoping that because the file is zero bytes then this is causing the problems, which are still there
Onwards eh!
Edit: The 0 byte file is actually a memo file. The Word templates are 7kb apart from Todo which is 14k...

Those file sizes look fine apart from blank.dot which should also be 7kb.
On mine I just checked the templates and they should open directly from the windows directly. They all have word icons.

I have the notes templates and the word templates. Alas late night scrolling across the PDA got me confused.
Do you know of a way to make the files non read only? I don't seem to be able to change that at all? I've tried in Windows and on the PDA.
Although, I have now fixed the ActivSync issue so it doesn't keep disconnecting Grr Hubs Grr.

Nope, I tried reseting read only tag on both PDA and PC as well, no joy. I have posted a thread asking if anyone knows how to re-install an application without hard re-set. I believe it is possible if you have extended rom cabs showing but which cabs as I do not see one clearly marked Word.cab or something similar. The joys!!!
Mike
Thank you Mike for all your help.
I've not even breached the option of ROMs yet or even dabbled in it, and I don't think I've got the guts to juuuuuust yet
If all else then I shall do a reset, a hard reset.
I seem to have this problem also, interestingly. Today when I tried to open the word mobile program, I got this prompt saying that I can't open a new word document due to some error and brings me to my storage card wif all the word documents which I can open wif ease. What seems to be the problem? Any way I can reinstall this program again without hard resetting? I am pretty sure it's not some software conflicts, maybe I accidentally removed some shared files with memmaid.
YES!! Finally I got it. I shifted my documents folder with the sub folder 'templates' to the storage card before so now I just placed back the templates subfolder to the device's My Documents folder and that basically solved my problem!
I thought I'd start a thread for anyone else out there like me who thinks that rhov23's Itask application is fantastic but has yet to figure out all of his/her device's configuration. If we all collaberate, we can probably limit the repetetive questions rhov23 gets so that he can continue to focus on advancing Itask even further.
Anyway, I'll keep this updated with the latest answers and fixes. Post your own configuration questions and hopefully someone else has already found the answer and can help you out. It is also worth noting that it is usually necessary to restart iTask after making changes or modifications. Below is my modified input.txt file and descriptions of the changes I've made thus far. There is still a ton of work left to do:

For example, &appsexec4=\windows\wmplayer.exe&END refers to my windows media player. If you either look through the folders of your device from your computer or look through your file explorer on your device you can find the path to just about every program and link it correctly to the proper button.

Are you able to update the weather and news without being connected via active sync?
okay who here has itask completely working i have questions for them
rde first of all do you have an instant messanger name so you could help me figure this out quicker?
if not here are my issues i downloaded itask the other day and only a few programs worked the rest were screen shots how do i change it so it goes directly to the program?
i tried changing some things in input and saved but no changes occured
Some Help
This is a great application, which once you get used to is straight forward, if a little time consuming to set up. Half the fun for me is working out things that I don't really understand. I have the original input text file open alongside the one that I'm configuring. You just have to find the section in the input text relating to the icon your trying to link, and after the = add the path for the application you want that icon to open. The path can be found in Explorer (or better still Resco Explorer) on your device. Most applications are found in Windows, Start Menu, Programs. This is what you type into the input text file in itask, remembering a space has to be replaced by %20 and that the text has to be exactly the same as on your device.
So, if you want to assign a program (say File Explorer) on your device to the first icon on the Apps page of itask (ie when you launch itask, click the 3rd icon along which says Apps, the first button is in the top left of the new screen and has a smiley face on it) alter the text in the input.txt file of itask after &appstext1="\Windows\Start%20Menu\Programs\File%20Explorer.Ink&END" Don't use the " " I've included them to show what you should type. When you close input.txt and restart itask, the smiley face button in Apps will open File Explorer. And so on until you've linked an icon to each program you want to open.

The "another top" program you see is nothing but a screenshot, you can replace it by changing *loadpic*.jpg to any other picture you want, or if you want your application to open immediately, change your *loadtime configuration in input.txt to 0.
I'd like to set "all" as the favorite album in the TF3D photo tab so it just displays all the photos I've taken (I have about 100 pics separated by folder under \storage card\pictures\) The problem is when I do that it puts other pics like the icon's for Angelusz's landscape fix at the top of the thumbs list.
Is there a way to either hide certain album's(folder's) from HTC Album's view, or a way to make it only look at the storage card and not at the phone itself?
if you get an answer.... please repost!!!!
having same issue.
looking to not show in the 'albums' section a specific folder that has images in it.
and in the same token, making these (same) pics not be available through the 'see-all' feature.
trying to not have 'accidental' display of pics no need to make them "hidden-files" because then one wouldn't be able to view them when needing to.
can there be a limit set to the viewer and how 'deep' it searches for images? maybe they can be placed in a series of sub-folders that are so many deep, that the viewer does not look for....?
yeah this is a big problem if you have tomtom because it loads all of those pics

The simplest solution is to change the properties to hiddend for the image files you do not want to see in the tab.
There is also a reg patch to exclude particular folders but i dont know the details

If anyone has more information on this reg patch, I'd like to know more.
Also as Angelusz pointed out to me in another thread the HTCAlbum doesn't search the windows directory, so I've been dumping wallpapers ect. in there whenever I can. The big downside to this is the amount of time it takes the X1 to load the windows directory, especially when your trying out several wallpapers.

Thanks for the info! But there is an issue
Hello -
i tried your suggestion, but it didn't quite work.
i have the HTC fuze -
i created a folder in the storage card called ddd, then went to the registry and followed your suggestion, but when i go to the camera, and select the soft-key for albums, there are some options called "all" and "camera shots" that still reveal the contents of the whole phone. and the folders that contain the images that are to be kept away from accidental viewing, are already located on that folder 'ddd' on the storage card. how do i delete the "all"/"camera shots" feature form the album viewer, or better yet, how do i keep some pictures from coming up in their individual folders in the same viewer.
sorry to be a pest, but if there's anywhere else to get good info on this matter...it'd be here.
thanks for the help!!
works for me, thanks

I can Chose storage location either to save pictures on Phone memory or storage card . But even when i chose storage card the camera application makes a DCIM folder in storage card and save pictures and videos there .What i need is a cab or a registry tweak to save picture in storage card/My Documents/My pictures and videos in Storage card /My Documents/My Videos directory . as in our old Kaiser days a program named Advance configration tools3.3 can change these settings but this program cant change it in HD2 .It shows the path is changed but the camera still save it to the Storagecard/DCIM directory .
Plz help. Nobody knows how to do it .....?
PLZ Help anypme...?
Im intrested in this too if possible?
I triple that. I want to know as well.
I don't like having contact pictures that I take show up and saved in the same folder as the pictures I take with my camera.

Actually your help yesterday let me adjust the settings back to the original default options (so my pictures again at least showed up in the Sense pictures tab).
What I was originally trying to do by playing around with all of the registry settings was what all these people are asking.
I was trying to set the default folder for pictures taken with the camera as anything other than \Storage Card\DCIM.
There appears to be no way to overwrite this setting.

It never ceases to amaze me how rude people can be when some of us ask simple questions.
I'm sure HE DID search for an answer, but found none, and your reply was wrong. There was NOT an answer on THAT thread.
I read THAT thread and the question is still "up in the air."
As far as I can see, making any changes in the registry is futile with regard to camera image storage location. I've tried them all, including the ones referenced in THAT thread noted above (WRONG!). None work! The pictures STILL get stored in a DCIM folder on the storage card.
So, even I am still waiting for a solution. Oh well.

Is there anyone out there that still has this problem, or even knows how to fix it?
I've changed enableDCIM to 0
Changed HKLM\system\pictures\camera\OEM\picturelocation
to "\my documents\my pictures"
A registry search for DCIM turns up one result, the enable DCIM setting....
All locations that I've checked refer to the "My Pictures" folder.
I've created the folder in my documents, and in the storage card top level, deleted the DCIM folder, restarted the phone and STILL, when taking a picture it goes to DCIM.... Does anyone know if theres a file somewhere where this is stored?? I'm going insane with having to move my pictures from one folder to another all the time...

I had the TP2 before and I was able to just use advanced config to put my pics in to my pictures, and, easily view them from the sense tab, further more, I was able to have the pics named with the date and time, so I would not be over writing any pics after a flash.
I to have fought with this for a couple of weeks and finally just gave up and am currently using the DCIM folder to store my pics.
With my TP2, it worked great, it has to do with the actual camera app, on HD2, you can select your store location from there, TP2 camera app has no option of where to store, it is all handled with registry/advanced config.
Good luck, but I don't think there is a solution to this currently.
Jeff
Yeah it's odd that there's all these registry entries, but they seem to do nada...
Hi, firstly, sorry for my abruptness earlier in the thread.
I hadn't looked in to the problem, and i was assuming that what was true for other devices was true for us.
So, i had a look at it this evening, (tho im no tech, im kinda flying blind with hex editing) an as expected the save path is hard coded.
Get Camera.exe
Not sure whether you can extract it from the phones windows folder, I got mine from within a
kitchen.
Disable read only file attribute
Open it up in a hex editor and find
line 596,350 (hex 0009197e) or there abouts, and change DCIM to Pics
see two images, (ignore the fact the line number changed in pic2, )
Save Camera.exe, and copy it to your phone, overwrite the Camera.exe in your phones
/Windows/
folder. You might need to use something more than the default file manager, I used resco.
Or you could use a cab to install it.
Next time you take a pic it will save it to Pics/100Media
Notice that Pics is 4 letters like DCIM so the file size stays the same.
When i tried to insert data to call the folder SamsPics, camera.exe failed to load.
I also changed the two registry entries
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Pictures\Camera\OEM\PictureLocation changed from \DCIM\ to \Pics\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\General EnableDCIM to 0
however i didnt do tests between each change, so not sure if they do anything.
(update, i forgot to check at the time and i just flashed back to default so can't check, but i think one of teh flashes I had it working with the Pics path without changing those two reg entries, just the hex editing, so try it without first,.)
To fix manila photo tab showing no images found,
take a pic to make sure folder has been created
then from pics tab
albums - albums - select album probably called 100media
then
menu - set album as favourite
For the prefix IMAG I couldn't find how to change it, other than it pics up from the last IMAGxxx name in the target folder.
There is a section in the camera.exe where the code contains the string \DCIM\100Media around code line 675,954 but changing that seemed to have no effect.
So all in all, not too usefull, can only change to 4 letter folders, cant change prefix, cant get rid of 100media folder, but a step in the right direction., unless someone knows how to replace camera.exe in my kitchen with one of a different file size (or maybe how to trim space from elsewhere to leave the same filesize? I'm new to hex editing, but would love to learn more about hacking files like this, if anyone has any pointers)

I was able to change it to save to the Pictures folder without any problem. I did it on my first try, so I don't know that I even have the error... But what I did was over write the DCIM and 100Media with Pictures; then I 00'd what was left of the 100Media. Same file size, works like a charm. It got rid of the 100Media folder too. My hex structure was weird tho; D C I M (in hex; there was a 00 inbetween each letter). I just followed that format;
\ D C I M \ 1 0 0 M e d i a
overwritten
\ P i c t u r e s M e d i a
then replace each hex value corresponding to the letters in media with 00 (note that the space button in hex is 20, not 00)

I deleted the following shortcuts "Transformers", "MobiTV", "Market Place" and "YouTube" from Windows/Start Menu/Program, thinking they were redundant since they were already on the home screen. But while the icons are still on the home screen, I can't get to the four programs by tapping on the icons; instead, I got the error message about "Shortcut Target" saying "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".
I was able to find the "MobiTV" and "Transformers" folders, but I could not create shortcuts from the .exe files since the "Create shortcut" was gray and did not respond to taps. My questions are: (1) How do I re-create those four shortcuts that would make the icons on the home screen work again? and more generally, (2) How do I create shortcuts (gray-colored) for any .exe files? Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated.
I know that the "Total Commander" app let's you create links where File Explorer doesn't, but I've never actually messed with that part of the app very often.
Tons of folks are complaining about the movie icon, as far as I know no one has found a way to fix it once you break it
You got it the wrong way round.
First, click on "Copy" option for the exe file that you wish to make a shortcut.
Then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, click on "Menu", the option "Paste shortcut" should be available now.
Re-created shortcut for MobiTV, but not for the other three
After seeing your answer, I realized I should have performed them on my HD2, instead of on my synced desktop PC! As long it is a .exe file, a shortcut can always be created for it on Windows program page by using the method you described. Thanks Zentury!
However, I could only recover (re-create) the shortcut for MobiTV since it is a single .exe file. I could not even find where the .exe files are for YouTube and Market Place to re-create the shortcuts for them... As for Transformers, since it is a folder with two .exe files, I could only create shortcuts for each of the two separately on Windows program page, and the icon on the home screen still does not work. Any ideas?

As for the Transformer Shortcuts use the cab posted, The other exe your looking for are in the windows folder on the phone. You Could always reinstall marketplace, for that shortcut.
Thanks for the attached .cab file! I downloaded the .cab file for Transformers but am wondering where should I put it: in the Device or in the Storage Card, and in what folder?
I did find Market Place and YouTube folders only in the Device's Windows folder, but where are the .exe files for them?! In Market Place folder, there is only one tiny file called ClientLog0 (263B); and in YouTube folder, there are four folders and hundreds jpeg files.... I did the search on my desktop PC for files in HD2 and know there is one YouTube.exc but don't know which specific folder it is in... Without getting to these .exe files, I don't know how to restore/reinstall the shortcuts for them. Please kindly advise. Thanks.

Thanks for the attached .cab file! I downloaded the .cab file for Transformers but am wondering where should I put it: in the Device or in the Storage Card, and in what folder?
I did find Market Place and YouTube folders only in the Device's Windows folder, but where are the .exe files for them?!

it doesnt matter where you copy the cab file do as long as you know where it is, once it is on the device use the file explorer to find it and run it. Try this cab for the other 2 link files
I tried the Transformers.cab on my Device but failed to install because of "not sufficient system permissions". Earlier, I found Transformers.lnk in Device Windows and paste it on Windows/Start Menu/Program. Tapping on the home screen Transformer button will take me to the two Transformers movies, but I lost the nice Transformers icon on the home screen; instead, I only got the boring old Windows icon in its place. How do I get the nice Transformers icon back on the home screen?
I got YouTube shortcut back to work OK now, but Marketplace shortcut still does not work. The .cab file for Marketplace installed without any error message ("successfully installed on your device") and the Marketplace icon stays on the home screen, but tapping on it does not take me to its web page. Can you suggest anything I can try? Thanks again.

I would just reinstall the marketplace cab and that should fix it. Not real sure on the icon.
I reinstalled the Marketplace.cab file a few times on my Device, still no luck - tapping on its icon on the home screen won't point to the right web page, only the same error message... The strange thing to me is there seems no .exe file for Marketplace on the device, so ... how did it ever get started?

Hi, just catching up with the latest on your problem resolution. (Note: I'm on the other side of the ocean.)
I took a look at the contents of Marketplace.lnk on my HD2 and the file location is "\Windows\WMMarketplace.exe".
Thank for taking the time to look it up - now I know why I couldn't find its .exe file on the device: it's WMMarketplace.exe, not just Marketplace.exe! Next time when I do the "search", I will use the wild card symbol * in the search string. Some valuable lesson learned!
Anyway, the shortcut problem for Marketplace was solved last night after I found another Marketplace.cab (116kB) provide by zelendel in another earlier xda forum thread. The youtube & marketplace.cab file I've been using and did not work is only about 2kB in size so apparently was not a good .cab file.
The only remaining "missing shortcut" problem I have is now changed to "missing icon" for Transformers on the home screen. The two Transformers.cab files I got from the xda forum all have the error message "not sufficient system permissions" when I tried to install them. Since the installations were "unsuccessful", the ugly blank-look icon in place for Transformers on the home screen still keeps staring back at me ...
Anyone got a Transformers.cab to share that would not cause the "unsuccessful" verdict and would restore the nifty Transformers icon on the home screen? Thanks!
Ive just downloaded that Transformers cab thinking it was going to the movie file or some funky robotic program and all i got was a shortcut leading to nothing??
Hmm, now how the hell do i remove it? Ive deleted the cab file but the shortcut is still visible on the start menu.

You probably aren't running the Tmo ROM, right? The transformers link only opens up the player for the movies that are provided to tmo owners on the included 16GB SD card...so all you did was indeed install a "link to nowhere".
You'll need to navigate to /windows/start menu on the phone, and delete the "transformers.lnk" file there.
there is an app on freewarepocketpc.net called "LnkMgr", that you can use to create shortcuts ...
works ok ..
