I have xml parsing templates on my 8125, that were created in Notepad on my laptop PC and saved as unicode.
On my laptop, I can open them in IE, but on the 8125, I can't. PIE tries to open the file, but I just get an empty page -- a blank screen in PIE.
Can anyone help me with the registry settings I need to tweak, so I can read xml files in PIE?
They open up for me in PIE and I haven't done any tweaks. I'm not sure why they wouldn't open up in yours.
Thanks. You helped me find my problem.
I've been copying the files (connected via ActiveSynch) from my PC to my 8125. They've been working fine that way, with the program that uses them (Spb Insight).
But -- I can only read them in PIE if I actually "synch" them over to the 8125.

My unit has been freezing up after some use. When that happens, my TenGO input method reverts back to the default tiny keyboard, which of course is unuseable in true VGA mode. I traced the problem to the fact that my browser had stored lots of files within the device and caused the memory availability to fall, depriving it from the programs.
I changed these browser files location to the SD card, and my TenGo input method right away came back by itself. The system also revert back to the normal quick speed.
None of these ideas originated from myself. There are many websites giving these tips.
Changing the IE brower cache, cookies, and history location:
---------------------------------------------------------
The IE working files are by default located at :
\windows\profiles\guest\temporory internet files
\windows\profiles\guest\Cookies
\windows\profiles\guest\history
First, use Files Explorer to create these directories at storage card:
\windows\profiles\guest\temporory internet files
\windows\profiles\guest\Cookies
\windows\profiles\guest\history
Then Use a registry edit tool,go to
\HKCU\Software\Microsfot\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders and change the Cache,Cookies, and History value to \Storage Card\Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files,..... etc
If you prefer not to edit the registry directly youself, you could alternatively, use SKtools (I use version 3.1.5) to do the following:
Start SKTool, then click Tuning
The first tab shows the current location of the above. Change it to the new locations: ie
Storage Card\windows\profiles\guest\temporory internet files
Storage Card\windows\profiles\guest\Cookies
Storage Card\windows\profiles\guest\history
Exit SKtools
Switch off the device for about 20 seconds before doing a reset. It is important that you do not do reset right away else the registry entry may not be effected. The switching off will cause the system to write out the new registry entries.
With that, its done for Internet Explorer.
Changing the Cache, cookies, and history location for Opera Mobile
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ensure Opera is not running before you begin.
First,create these directories using file explorer:
\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera
\Microdrive\My Documents
Then, copy Cache4, cacheOp Help imgcss skin strtpage style directories to \storage card\Application Data\Opera.
After the copying is verified to be accurate, clean the content in the above directories in the device, but leave the directory structure there (with empty content) just in case.
Then, transfer these files from device to storage card by cutting these file from device and pasting to storage card
-browser
-chartables
-cookies4
-global
-htm40_entities
-opcacrt6
-opera.dir
-operand
-opssl6
-vlink4
Leave these in device directory :
-brwoser
-de
-englihs
-html40.entities
-input
-ja
-nl
-opera.ini
-opera6.adr
-pl
-ru
-zh-cn
-zh-tw Note: I think this list of languages differ from country to country. Notice that I've replicated browser and html40.entities in both location because none of the websites I read mentioned them. I leave them at both location to ensure it will still work, but I'd later on tried removing them from one location at a time to establish where Opera would look for these files.
Make changes to Opera.ini file
----------------------------
Initially, I tried to use Note application to open Opera.ini, but found out that it can't seem to "see" the file. Same goes for Pocket Word. I could'nt find the solution from other website, so I decided to use the desktop notepad text editor to edit it.
a) Establish activesync, on PC, use explore button to copy from device\Application Data\Opera to say the desktop.
b) Use the desktop notepad to open the Opera.ini file, and make the following changes to these entries:
- Opera Directory=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera
- Help Directory=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera\Help
- Button Set=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera\skin\windows_skin.zip
- Download Directory=\Microdrive\My Documents
- Home URL=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera\startpage\home.html
c) Then save the document as Opera.ini, and make sure encoding is UTF-8
d) Copy back the edited Opera.ini from desktop to the Device's main memory. i.e \Application Data\Opera
Its done.
I'll continue to monitor the device performance over the next few weeks and see if the freezing still happens.

Hi confucious,
I'm not aware of a CAB that automates this. Could you post the link for the CAB?
Anything that makes life simpler is welcome.

Hello,
could I ask any of the developers here to create very simple exe file for me that would actually do nothing.
Just two features needed:
1. system will recognize it as executable
2. will terminate itself immediately.
I just need to replace real application with it on some occasions by script.
I tried all other options to conditionally block the autorun but this seems to be my last option and I was not able to find one on the internet.
Many Thanks
hmmm, Im not a expert in EXE files, but wont a empty text file renamed to .exe do the trick?
This seems like it will do what you want. VS2005 project attached. It includes a compiled file for WM2003, which seems to run on WM6Pro fine. So, this ought to work on anything from WM2003 to WM6.1Pro.
…fantastic. This is exactly what I need.
Many Thanks!
not the right place to post.
READ THE RULES
thank you
In my Dopod, when I click on a TXT file in my File Explorer, it always opens in MS Pocket Word. Then I have to be careful to select the correct file save as text files.
I installed some alternative NotePad programs but there appears to be no way to change the file extension type assignments to start up the correct program instead?
I have googled quite a bit but came up empty!
Anybody solved this problem?
Thanks!
AFAIK, Advanced Config has such an option to change file associations.
I had Advanced Config 3.2 already but did not know it had file association.
Found it under More Settings!
Unfortunately, when I tried to re-assign the program, it bombed when I was navigating the tree view.
Eventually, had to copy the application to \Program Files\ and select it from there!
After that, it seems to accept the settings.
Unfortunately, after the soft reset, the extension is still pointed to same application as before!
Latest update!
Something very funny is going on.
Advanced Config shows that the file association has been changed.
TXT file is now:
\Program Files\PocketTextEditor.exe "%1"
However, when I click a txt file in File Explorer, it still opens with Pocket Word!
Did I do something wrong?
Thanks!
Hi All,
Last week i made a networkconnection to a NAS in my local network via Wifi.
It all worked fine on my HD2.
but now when i open the File Explorer it is really slow. (even Total Commander is slow)
WiFi is turned off.
Looks like there is some cache left on the phone or something.. when the explorer is open i get a list of the directories on the device, but when i scroll the interface is hanging for a while. this will repeat continuesly.
is there a way to clean up some old stuff?
i did do a search in the registry via SKTools Registry Explorer to search for any left items about the networkdrive, but could not find something.
Does anyone reconize this issue and do have a fix for it?
It drives me crazy when i could not get into the file explorer anymore.
its more likely that your file man is trying to remap the networkmap and failing.
not sure how you go about sorting it, i only ever use resco, but try deleting the share if its still showing in your network list on the phone.
maybe it will help..
in the file explorer try to change the "sorting by" files to name
when i had "sorting by" type the explorer was very slow
Update:
I experienced that when i open the file explorer and browsing on root the ' My Device' is just slow and hangs continuesly, when i browse to various directories or storagecard it is working fine.
so should be an old reference to the networkmapping.
But don't know how to delete, because is not visible in the file explorer
checked registrypath: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ File Explorer \
to see if there was a MRU pointed to the networkpath but nothing interesting to see
Solved !!
I used SKTools to search for broken links (search and remove or repair broken links).
There was a file called: \config.lnk which pointed to the path of the networkmapping.
does someone know how the config-file works?
fixed.

I had same problem, except total commander worked fine. This fixed it! thanks.

Hi all
I'm sure this has been discussed on the forum, as it bugs the hell out of me and I suspect many others, but I could not find the right search words to find it.
Please point me in the direction of known thread (if exist)
Problem:
Saving to a USEFUL folder.
In most of the applications it uses a useless save dialog box, that only goes 1 layer deep of folders.
I save everything on to my SD card, and as a home windows user I am used to having directories for everything to keep them organised.
at the moment I have to save in /Storage card/DOCS/ then use total commander to move it to the correct place. to open a file I then need to use total commander again to find the file then open from there.
An awful set up.
Is there any programs or hacks that change that dialog box to a folder tree based dialog instead of a 1 level dropdown?
or ever a multiple of dropdowns would work?
Please help - this is driving me mad

Hey, I too hate the standard windows mobile file dialogue, but I remember finding a freeware alternative for my old phone (TyTN II) which I still had lying around on my computer. I can't remember where I got it from exactly, its called gsgetfile.dll and there's a little control panel applet to go with it. I've attached the dll to this post, just unzip to the /Windows directory on your phone. Then install File Dialog Changer, enable and voila!
EDIT: Found the site, http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=752
Thanks for that
I searched xda for file dialog changer and came across this thread:
FDC
I shall try it and hope it doesn't mess up Faria ROM........
Thanks for the suggestion
Damn! must be how Faria made her ROM. I copied the 2 files across and it made no difference at all.
Then I noticed the option in the control panel to turn it on - Doh!
