accidentally renamed the folder that i believe was under the activesync folder in total commander. Its the one that has the lnk files, now i cant use any off the apps that are in there cuz it messes up the shortcut.. long story short can some one look in their phone and let me know what the name of the folder is...
Mine is AppButtons.

Sorry if this has been covered, looked but couldn't find anything detailed enough.
I'd like to change two of the files in the "windows" directory, specifically the phone app background files. (Using OzVGA they're currently not large enough).
I've made two new .bmps but cant copy over the original files (Bckgnd_Land.bmp & Bckgnd_Port.bmp) because they have the "Read-Only" and "System" attributes set. I can't change these attributes in File Explorer on the Universal, nor from within WinXPHome's Explorer while the device is connected. (I can see the attributes, but they're shaded and inaccessible).
Do I need another file explorer or something?? I think i saw a post where somene else had done something similar, but now can't find that post!!!
yes, use Resco Explorer or Total Commander
Please note that those files are in ROM, so you are not really overwriting them. You merely bend the pointer. As soon as you delete your own creation the old file handle is restored.

So what you're saying is that I can't alter these files??
Installed Total Commander and although it appears to have the ability to change the attributes... it can't. I assume that's because they're in Rom?
I was just wondering how I can replace this file with my custom image again. I have done it before and I don't recall getting denied access to it. I am doing it again on the same ROM i did it on before, just after a hard reset. Can anyone help with how to overwrite/delete/rename this file?
Thanx; Lew
P.S. I tried Resco, it changes the check boxes but when I got back into properties they are re-checked (still cant move the file).
use Total Commander to overwrite it
Thnk you. It worked just fine. I had to se the Copy to command, then put in "\windows" and it overwrote just fine. It wouldent let me delete the old one though... kinda strange. Ah well.
Thanx again; Lew
thanks a lot, i have been looking everywhere for a cure, Total Commander let my bypass it, thanks again
HI,
I search the Iphone bootscreen for my WM6 HTc touch. Can you help me please
How can i delete the vodoafon branding?
Thx
Since i think it's not allowed to give you the iPhone fish screen im not gonna give it to you.
But you can make your bootscreen to your wishes by using a tool called Total Commander.
The only thing what you need to is open Total commander, Go to your windows folder and find Welcomehead.96.png. Cut that to your storage card and grab one of your own pictures and convert it to a PNG file. Call the file welcomehead.96.png and paste that in your windows folder.
Here you go.
I'm new to this site and the ways of fooling with the details of this phone. I have an HTC Mogul 6800, WM 6.1, through Sprint. I am trying to install some "iPhone" type software and am stuck almost at the starting point. I'm trying to copy this file
welcomehead.96.png
into the /windows directory on the phone. Since that file already exists on the phone, it would appear that it needs to be overwritten. It won't overwrite as that file on the phone is marked as "read-only". How can I edit that file to remove the "read-only"
thanks
Why not just move the old file to another directory?
I believe you're trying to change the splash screen? Apparantly that file is locked as ROM file and so overwriting may not be possible. Why don;t you change the registry value to point to a different file? Refer this Splash Screen changing guide.
Preffered Registry editior: Free PHM Registry editor

Carty..
The file is Read-only, so I can't move it. I tried installing the PHM Registry editor, it thinks it's a Microsoft Daylight savings time update.

Use this......It's a file explorer that will overwrite most system files.
To unlock the registry which you really don't need to do for this simple file overwrite. Do a search for CERegEditor. It's a pc app that will sync to your phone and view aswell as edit your registry. There is a command within the program to unlock with.

Definitely, I confirm this will overwrite that file.

I've actually had bad luck with Total Commander. I've successfully overwritten the file once out of a dozen tries. I've tried the Copy command as well as Move.
Anyone having better luck that can chime in? I'm wondering if I'm just missing a setting in Total Commander.

Have you tried copy to clipboard?
You can also rename the file and then put the new one in there with the good one.

Well I can overwrite with TC and GSFinder. I change my splash screen often due to boredom and I can't remember the last time I had an issue. Your ROM stock or Custom?
My ROM is stock. I guess I'll try this softwre listed above, hopefully I can change the value of this file as it can't be moved, overwritten or re-named right now.
The most weird thing i ever encountered today with my HTC Pro2.
I renamed the folder "Beauties" to "Beauties." with Resco File explorer 2008 (note there is a dot after Beauties).
The Original path is" Storage card/Pictures/Personal pictures/secret/Beauties".
After existing Resco Explorer,I went back to see the folder again,jesus christ, the folder has gone! just disappeared without a trace.
I tried all means,soft reset,Resco Explorer,show all the files and folders, Resco photo viewer, connected with PC etc etc,all of them cannot find this "Beauties." folder.
Inside this Beauties folder,there are many pictures that I collected over years,no no I dont want to lose them.
Is this bug?
Am I being cursed? (lots of porn pictures in this folder as well)
How to get my folder back??? please help,help,help!!!!!!!!!
If there is a way to get the folder back,maybe we will have a best way to enscrypt folders?
Why don't you sync with your computer and use the MS ActiveSync to explore your phone? It is much easier on the eyes to look for a file on your computer screen than on your phone.

thanks for suggestion,As I said,I tried all means,including your suggestion. Got nothing.
no idea what could have happened.
folders with a period show up fine on my tp2, both in explorer and commander, never used resco though.
ne how, before you do anything else, do the following
remove the sd card,
plug it into a pc,
run a data recovery program on it.
tried everything,no cure for it.
My conclusion is that after you add period(dot) at the end of the name of the folder,this folder is deleted forever.
A bloody lesson.
Bye bye pictures,bye bye ladies.
Hmm . Files may be gone..
but I'd try another file explorer app if I was you
Total Commander --> http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
You sure you renamed it xxxxx. and it took? Perhaps you did a typo (accidentally touch the touchscreen thereafter and it's called something else your not expecting?)
this just happened to me today using resco file explorer!!! dot on the end of a folder bam!!! all folder is gone!
bring it back
if you ever do this again press ctrl+z to get back the folder, it happened with me so being a photoshop freak instantly went for the keys and thankfully got the folder back with the old name, still cant understand what's happens when you put a dot (.) at the end of a folder name.
Ps. this will only work for a few mins after the rename before any other changes are made after which it is useless
