Backing up internet/mms/email/gps settings - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development

It is a bit annoying to set up "environment" settings each time i clean up registry, so i am searching a way to backup registry settings (i believe those settings are there?). Does someone knows which registry keys apply to those settings?

I am not sure about MMS/gps settings in registry. Definitly Email setups are not stored in registry.
I am using a method where I created a cab file with all my MMS/EMAIL and GPRS setups and included it in my extended ROM.
I published a method to create cab file for email setups sometime back. Search for my posts.
If anyone is intersted I can publish details for GPRS and MMS.

Maybe it's possible to use SettingsSavior:

or sth linke PIMBackup or similar?

where are GPRS settings stored in registry

i want to put new gprs settings on an xdaIIi programmatically. Can someone tell me where and what i need to do in the registry.
Thanks

Where are the GPRS settings stored?

Apparently, when I delete a GPRS setting under the connections tab, the names are not deleted from the system. I tried deleting my settings and defining them again and can't seem to use the same names.
Is there a way to delete them from the system?
Thanks
They're in the registry too. Search & delete them with a reg.editor, like Resco Explorer with registry plug-in.
Cheers, M
thanks oltp!

CINGULAR GPRS

I am wondering where the password information is stored for the cingular gprs settings. I am not asking how to enter the settings into the dialogues, rather where in the registrythe password info is stored.
I am aware of the settings located at these two locations...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}]
and
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\My ISP GPRS]
Exporting/importing these restores everything but the username/password info. What I am trying to do is save the settings so I will be able to more quickly restore them after a hard reset, which I do often because I am constantly playing with different roms.
or... is there already a premade cab file that will install the needed settings including cingular's generic username/password?
and for that matter, where is the password stored for activesync? After I import a reg file I have on my phone, I have all the activesync info properly entered except for the password.
I realize these are one time items to have to enter, but it would certainly make system rebuilding go a bit faster...
I hope you managed to get this far into this rather overly verbose essay.
found it.
hell yes:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\CredMan\Creds]
I am cool.
Okay, the question I have then is how did you figure it out, and more importantly, how do you know which key is associated to which connection?
Some crappy registry snapshot program
It is called ssnap, that coupled with a program called idiff, I was able to discover changes made to the registry after doing something (check/uncheck something, enter a setting, etc...)

If anyone knows a better program than these rather primitive monsters, please let me know. I am looking for something similar to installwatch for the PC by Epsilon Squared.
Those settings did not work anyway. That was definately the location where the settings were stored, but they must be coupled with something else. I was able to install and uninstall the username/password by setting/removing those registry entries, but after a hard reset, they did not work anymore.

MMS settings, GPRS settings in CAB

can anyone guide me on how-to-make cab file for MMS settings, GPRS settings. i know i have to use the win ce cab manager but i need to know in details on how to make "MMS settings, GPRS settings" cab files.. thanks in advance..
It looks like if you're looking at carrier specific connection settings, you do it via an XML file. Based on the CABs I've looked at from the extended ROM on my old Wizard, that's about as far as I got.
There is an article on Microsoft somewhere that explains it and how to do it, but it was a little too technical for me at that time. I need to see if I can dig it up so I can read through it again.. I'll post here if I can find it.
Thanks sk0t, hope u can find it..
I'll go digging today once I get in the office. Don't much feel like working anyway this close to the holidays.
