I have a SmartPhone running WM6 and I would like to know how or what app I can run that will give me a dump read out of the ENTIRE registry in the form of a .txt or .docx or something else.
Thanks!!!!
Alex
Dotfred's Task Manager will dump the entire registry into a .reg file which is close enough to a .txt file.
I downloaded v2.7 and can't figure out where that option is.
Can you please point me in the right direction?
I found it on my PDA phone but using my SmartPhone, I can't even navigate that option
Any other software for this that IS made for SmartPhone?
EDIT: I found a SmartPhone edition of PHM that I used.
Thanks!
PHM Regeditor lets you export the selected Registry to a .reg file.
Rename to .txt and voila!

Hello professionals ;-)
i have to delete some registry keys during an softwareinstall with a cab file.
Can anybody tell me how to make an installationfile (like *.cab ore something else) deletes some keys in the registry!
whatfor?
i want to install some programs (like pocket plus) and make some configuration during cab file installation. so i looked into the registry what changes when i configurate pocket plus.
as i noticed there where som keys changed i can overwrite with the new values BUT there are some registry keys deleted also. How get them out???
is there any way ??
Have a look at creating a custom setup.dll file to include in the cab file.
You can certainly delete registry entries using it.
I don't know about deleting registry using cab files.
I think there is only options to allow or not to replace a registry key if exists during install.
Here a good link for .cab files Cab files
Apart that you can make your own install from PC to Pocket using RAPI. With that no problem to delete keys, copy files, add new keys ...
want to delete some keys bevore install
Thank's for your tips!

is there more information about this ?
how it works?
how to do?
as i looked at the CABFiles Website this looks very complicated to me ;-(
i am an absolute beginner in developing software!
i need an easy way to delete some regkeys during installation.
I think you can use the excellent scripting utility called nScriptM to achieve your goal. Simply run a search on this in google and you will come across a number of resources including the download location.

Hello,
can anyone tell me if there a good instruction somewhere about producing an executable .reg file for the WM5 platform (Qtek 9000 PPC as well as Qtek 8300 Smartphone) ?
It should contain modifications to the registry which should be applied upon exectuting this file.
(With thge help of a second such file I'd like to reset the initial reg values back.)
Thanks in advance.
well
just look inside a .reg file with notepad.
example:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.2bp]
"Content Type"="image/bmp"
"Default"="bmpimage"
"PerceivedType"="image"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.3gp]
"Default"="3gpfile"
that's it...
im sure u understood what should be done...
To make it executable you need to write a custom app or import the reg settings into a cab and load the cab.

How do i make a .reg file delete a value in the registry ??
I think you insert a - before the key
I'll have to google to confirm, but I'm cooking right now

Thanks to all !
Yes, just this would be my prime question:
Is there any documentation on how to make it executable by "transforming it into a cab file" ?
Hi,
is there a way or a program to backup/restore the registry as .reg file,
or more important: restoring only parts of the registry
via a program "like" spritebackup. is there a reg editor which can export/import the registry partially?
thx a lot
I use kilmist/klimst registry editor (never remember the spelling).
That exports and can import registry files.
If you've got a full reg export, edit it in notepad on your PC to have just the bits you want, save and import on your PDA.
V
looks like ur the right man for my questions thx a lot
another thing, do u know unlocker for pc? excellent tool for unlocking
files being processed by another app... can release the file,
or just kill the process - unlocker
is there something similar for ppc available?
Hi again and one more question...
do you know a prg to make screenshots directly on my magican?
want to make some pictured tutorials, so something with hardwarebutton assignment would be helpful.
:SOLVED:

hw button ok but it's not so fine.. mhm only bmp and folder must be selected every time
jpg would be cool.. any more ideas?
and thx again
I use Resco file explorer' Add-on for registry editing. Exports as .reg files.
Cool and easy..
For screen shots, i use Pocket Artist 3

Guys, I was just asked how to prepare a cab file containing registry settings, to save you having to configure your registry manually each hard reset.
Anyway, the process is (relatively) easy!
Purists and coders would generally do this by writing your own installer cab. For this route, follow this thread and engage brain to OverDrive!
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/setupdll.html
However, the easiest way is to grab a copy of WinCE cab manager.
Install that app. Find any existing cab that you've used to install an app before. Load it into CabMan. Using the interface, remove all existing files and registry settings etc. Set your own Cab name, company name etc in the settings.
Then, you'll see on the file menu, there's an option to import a .reg file.
So: export all the registry settings you want to rebuild from your PDA, using a good registry editor. I recommend Kilmist Registry Editor .
Save each exported tree as eg 1.reg, 2. reg, etc.
Then, copy them onto your pc, open each file in notepad and copy and paste the contents of each into 1 large file, eg RegCompiled.reg. (You don't need to do this step, but for your own reference you may want them all in one place)
Then, import that into CabMan. Now, it may not work - I think you need to have a valid reg file, which is basicaly the same thing you've already got, but with a first line header saying:
"Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00"
No speech marks.
Grab this line for yourself by exporting something from your pc's registry using RegEdit, then load into notepad and grab the first line.
Ok, CabMan should now show the number of imported registry entries on the tree on the left.
That's it! Save, and then run on your PDA.
Try a test run first before relying on it for life and death!

I'm using for this purpose two regeditors - both freeware:
PHM registry editor [Philippe Majerus] v0.70 - for its search feature
TRE registry editor [TascalSoft] v0.90 - for import/export and ability to edit MULTI_SZ values.
There is one great utility: SSnap
Run SSnap before and after installation and compare files. Use any diff program or [my choose, but comercial] UltraEdit
baniaczek: thanks for the alternatives.
PHM is very good, but unfortunately at least in the previous versions, the export wasn't very helpful.
A good reg editor is a fairly essential tool, so use what you get on best with!

I have a question, is there anyway to make it so that the cab will also delete a registry key on the phone? any help would be appreciated. thanks.

The WinCE CAB Manager is the ultimate utility for developers of applications designed for the Windows CE operating system. But it's not freeware!
You might build the CAB online: http://www.supware.net/CabGen/
I have been trying to get my HW keys remapped on the Q9 for a day now. After picking through the registry, I found a reg key that maps to the button
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd\APP2_Path
It accepts any .exe but I need to point it to a Mortscript file and that won't work. I can't even put a shortcut LNK value in there. Soon as I pop any exe in that field it works. Anybody know how to convert a LNK into an exe to trick this thing? I even tried running Mortscript.exe with the script name as a parameter but no luck. Thanks!
Looks like what I need is a basic applauncher .exe that would read the script/exe parameter from the registry or file. I have experimented some more with this registry key and it won't take anything other then a straight exe. Even quotes around the value breaks everything so I can't pass parameters around.
Mortscript comes with a file called autorun.exe. rename this file to the name of your mortscript, so if your mortscript is named 'myscript.mscr' then rename autorun.exe to 'myscript.exe'. make sure both files are in the same folder. Now when you run 'myscript.exe' it executes 'myscript.mscr'. For more information check mortscript documentation.

i was so happy to see this fix and tried it. it appears to work about 5 times and then it stops responding. i have to reboot to get it working again. If i click on the script .mscr it works however. so something buggy in the autorun.exe. Any suggestions?
Take a look at http://www.vijay555.com
I think it's VJbrisk.exe or something like that, but I'm not sure...
There's definitely something there that can help you!
ithx i tried vbrisk but it would not install on wm6 smartphone. Any other apps that do the same?
Are your files in the same folder as 'mortscript.exe'? If not, put them there and try it. Make sure you have the lastest mortscript version.
Also, there is an old program called 'Launch Pad' by 'On Hiatus' that was developed for the HPC version of WinCE, and uses PocketC by 'Orbworks' (google both). You can use it to create .EXEs that work like .lnk files.
It works fine on my WM6 Wizard PPC, don't know if it will work on a Smartphone, but it's worth a try if the above doesn't work.
Another thing you could try is to extract the VJbrisk.exe from the cab file and manually transfer it to your device, then see if it works.
Yah they are in the same folder and named the same. I moved it al into the root. It appears to work for a couple hours, then dies and requires reboot. Otherwise it does the trick nicely. Mortscript is great!
