Hi, can anyone help me understand where to find
HKLM\...
All posts refer to HKLM\... is this in the main phone memory, media card?
Thank you
Look here : http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
You can install this little program and you'll be able to see your PDA Reg.
This means that you have to change or add a value in the so called registry. The registry is a part of your operating system where the system stores and gets some informations it needs to operate (e.g. driver or prgram settings).
The link from batista70 refers to a freeware registry editor.
Before starting to change or add values there you should read the following wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=registry
Have fun and take care!
thank you guys

Hello.
I am trying to find a file with the initial registry plus last modifications or at least an extra file in which there would be additional modifications to the initial registry files. The reason is that I want to put in registry a lot of DLLs (about 32) to make a program work, I can´t do it by hand It would take me years.

In the Kiitchen you can do this by useing a file with the addreg extension.
You just have to ensure, that it will be used...

there are 2 ways in which windows ce loads registry values:
1) via default.fdf, which you can edit using fdf2reg.pl land reg2fdf.pl from my romtools ( this is processed by filesys.exe at coldboot )
2) via mxip_*_100.rgu, which are unicode files, and can be edited with most editors. and which are processed by regupdater.exe
but I don't really know how this works.
but I think you need a registry editor, hmm. which now I look for it, I thought phm regedit would be able to do this, but it is not yet implemented there.
so someone should write or find one.

Hi there to all i have by mistake deleted the file association for tsk file in total commander and now whenever i try to open any tsk file it says there is no associated application with this and i have checked in total commander options for setting it back is asking for four things namely icon file index number parameter and command .
Can anybody help me by providing these settings from their I -Mate Jasjar
anykind of help will be appreciated Thanx .
Code:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\
(Default) = tsk
EditFlags = 0x10000
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\DefaultIcon
(Default) = shellresapps.dll,-15618
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\Shell\Open\Command
(Default) = ctlpnl.exe cplmain,13

thanks for such a fast reply but i m already having all these settings in my regstry but what i want is the setting for tsk association files in total commander software which are in the properties of the file
hi there to all comeon its nearly 2 days and 39 views but no one with the settings comeon man here we all are to help each other
please help .............
You could try some software which will allow you to change file associations such as http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=2430
I havent tried it, so Im not sure if it will work.
Hi there i dont want any software i just want the default settings for .tsk and dat file associations thats it
hence they can be found with the total commander software in the properties tab of these kind of files and hence i m sure that many of us would be using that software but still it has been two days and nobody is there to help me with this simple problems .
Perhaps you could tell me how to get the information and I'll see if I can pull it off my XDA-Executive for you.

niketkumar: I've checked my file associations in GSFinder, and they're exactly as PReDiToR has posted above.
Now you suggest that you already have those settings, so it appears that the problem may be located elsewhere. If you've definitely got exactly the settings indicated, then you may have deleted something else related.
I suggest that you investigate the problem more carefully and come back to us with more detail. The registry settings are what causes the file to be launched with the associated control panel page, ctlpnl.exe cplmain,13
Perhaps you've deleted other settings that you've not told us about?
If those settings already exist in your registry, how can we help you further? Perhaps you should try dumping your registry, backup, hardreset, dump registry, use SSnap to compare the registry dumps, and then teach us what you know. http://s-k-tools.com/ You can then revert to your backup and fix the problem yourself. However, if you want a virgin registry dump, I'm happy to send you one.
You seem to be fairly confident that we are all incompetent, unable or unwilling to help you. I would contend that that's very much untrue. However, to quote PReDiToR's sig,
Do not meddle in the affairs of geeks for they are subtle and quick to anger

vijay 555 u surely misunderstood me i never meant the way what you thought of it is for sure that we all are here to help each other so i m very greatful to everybody who did replied to my post and let me be frank what actually i did was that in my application total commander i selected the tsk file then properties then association option there it showed an icon with x when i clicked it , it deleted its association
Hence i checked these settings in my registry they all are there but when i m trying to open that application it says " there is no application associated with it Run the app first and then open it within the application "
and if now if you dont trust me that still i m hiding something from you then you urself can download that ghisler's total commander and try it yourself to believe me .
The other setting that is needed to make a file open is the .tsk association that points it to the settings that I gave you.
Code:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tsk
(Default) = tskfile
Code:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\
(Default) = tsk
EditFlags = 0x10000
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\DefaultIcon
(Default) = shellresapps.dll,-15618
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\Shell\Open\Command
(Default) = ctlpnl.exe cplmain,13
With these two pieces of code you should be able to use the ordinary Windows File Explorer to launch a .TSK file.
If that works then your problem is mostly solved. I don't suppose the file working in TC is important if you can use WinFE to install a theme?
Thanx PReditor that settings worked .
can you do me another favour , can you also tell me both the settings for .dat file extension in your registery coz i have deleted that also .
Since I don't know how to edit the Wiki pages and I didn't find the information elsewhere I would like to share the solution for revealing the hidden partition of Atom Life here:
Using a registry editor go to
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\Trueffs_DOC1\FATFS\
now open "MountHidden" and set the the decimal value to "0"
After a softreset there will appear "_QHiddenPartition" as a storage card in the file explorer.
Enjoy!

What to do with it, can we store files?

It's simply because I like to know what's going on in my machine. In addition you have instant access to desired files you wish to extract for later use or on other machines. I also heard that it shall be possible to store cabs here which you wish to be installed via the O2 Autoinstall routine after a hardreset. But I also heard that it could be dangerous to manipulate the files in the hidden partition(?)
Does anyone have detailed and reliable information about that?
Regards!
This ist probably a stupid question, but I just couldn't find a solution.
How do I change an already existing Quickling on the homescreen? The same question is also valid for the contacts screen.
Once I have defined a Quicklink on the Homescreen there doesn't seem to be a method to change it to something else, I couldn't find it anywhere in the settings. And touch-and-hold doesn't do anything eighter.
So if anyone knows the solution please post it here.
Thanks

Remove quick links
Try "Menu" (lower right corner) -> Remove quick links ->tap on the one you want to remove -> Done -> you're done
found solution (sorry)
Okay that works.
Thank for your help.
I'm also having Quicklinks problems.
I can delete/change the ones that point to programs but the last row of my Quicklinks point to my top websites (ie; Bookmarks/Favourites) and if I use the normal method to delete them it doesn't work! Has anyone else found this, or a solution?
What might be the issue is that I've installed a cab to increase the number of Quicklinks from 9 (3x3) to 16 (4x4). Could that be causing this, as in a stock HD2 that last row wouldn't even be there...?
Many thanks!
You may certainly use a *.cab which has modified the number of quicklinks on home tab, and which doesn't work properly, isn't ?
You can :
- uninstall this cab
- sof reset
- delete quick links
- install back the cab
- soft reset
Then it's ok.
I realise that this is an old thread but I am a new owner of an HD2 and still finding my way. I have done a search and this is the closest thread to my issue.
Just like ugotamesij I have 16 quick links on my home page. My probem is that I cannot remove an unwanted quick link by using the menu button option to get rid of it. The link that I am trying to remove is to the Excel Mobile program.
I would like to remove the .cab file that gave me the 16 links and then re-install it but I do not know how to remove the .cab file from the SD card.
I have located the particular file using the file explorer and deleted it from the list on my SD card but the 16 quick links still appear on my phone after a soft reset.
Can someone assist please?

you can use the registry editor to remove the links -
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home
There are keys marked with 0..9 (or 0..n)
each item is a shortcut on the home page.
there is a value called "IsExist" set it to 0,
and set all the other tring values to empty.
If you only want to re-order the links -
you can use the app in the following link

Som30ne, thank you for the reply and link.
I am sorry to reveal my ignorance but I do not know what your instructions mean. I have never had a windows mobile phone before and have never attempted any tweaks.
This registry editor business sounds very interesting but sadly, it's like a foreign language to me.
If you have the time can you break it right down for me or point me to a "how to..." guide?

To edit the registry I use TotalCommanderCE,
it's free, just google it.
After you install it, run it, and click on the [\] button (top right of the screen)
double click "Plugins"
double click "Registry"
and then go to the path specified (HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\. . . .)
go to each of the number folders and double click the values to edit them.
After editing - exit the TotalCommander,
and hold the power button, and select "power off", than turn the device back on,
so the new values would be loaded on bootup.
I hope it's clear enough.
Enjoy.
(BTW: if you are not sure - write down any o the value you changed,
just in case you need to restore the values to what they were before)
I feel as though I'm on the right path but require a little more help.
After a little further research I installed PHM RegEdit and using the directions provided by Som30ne have found the entry in the registry that relates to the offending quick link (Excel Mobile). It is next to a folder with the number 9.
The path is HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\9
What do I do to simply remove Excel Mobile as a quick link?

No
there is a value called "IsExist" set it to 0,
Then click save Then reboot
I don't have a value named, IsExist". I can see;
IsNeedRefresh
IsReadOnly
IsSet
IsSet is the only one of these that has a value other than 0 (the value is 1).
Any ideas?
Can anyone help?

I dont understand - what do you mean it is near the 9 folder ?
There cannot/shouldnt/isnt any quick links near the folders.
The quick links are defined inside the folders.
Inside each of the folders (0 . . N) there are several entries - one of the entried is called "IsExist", and the others contain a path to a program link, and a path to the program icon.
Thanks for you patience.
I finally found the value IsExist and changed it from 1 to 0. I saved my change and then did a soft reset. Sadly, The quick link is still there and resolutely defies any attempts to remove it.
Is there something that I have missed or is there another way? If all else fails I can see only two choices;
1. Perform a hard reset and start again from scratch or,
2. Leave the quick link where it is and learn to live with it.
Any other ideas - PLEASE?
I am fairly new to this registry editing myself, but I also had this problem.
Using the good advice from this thread so far I have managed to get rid of the quick link from my 4x4 quick link grid.
I just looked at the registry values for an empty link and entered the same values for the one I wanted to remove. I then did a soft reset and it seems to have worked.
Thanks for the support speaky05 but I managed to get the required result by simply un-installing the .cab file that gave me the 4x4 grid and then re-installing it.
I don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner.
Hi, i have an Herald with the original windows mobile 6 executable i downloaded on a website and i extracted the RUU_signed.nbh, then i used Hypercore to get the OS.nb and then i got the OEM and SYS folders to start building my ROM the way i like it. First i thought about including my own registry modifications and i know those modification have to be installed in the device at the end of everything to over write the default that get install first so in the OEM folder i created a sub folder i called zzz_My_registry_OEM. As you can see, my attempt there is to put the .rgu file in there and because the name of the folder start by zzz, it will obviously be installed at the end. Is that right? Because if i'm wrong please tell me, i never did that before, its my first time cooking a ROM. Then, i face a new problem. I have the complete list of all the registry tweak i want to put in the .rgu file, i know i have to begin the file by REGEDIT4, the lines starting by ";" are not recognise so i can put a note of what the registry is for (for personnal reminder), then at the end of all my registry tweaks, i have to leave a blank line but... I just dont know how to write the lines properly because i know its some sort of code and i have to write in code. I'll show you precisely what i mean. Here i have a tweak to change the temp file to the storage card and it goes like this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys
edit temp path key \Storage card\Volatile
Here an other one to change the language of the slide out keyboard to US:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
create a new string
Name: Locale
Value: 0409
The problem as you can see, that is good if i tweak the registry of my already installed ROM from a registry editor, thats not valid for a .rgu file while cooking a ROM. But i have no idea how to write those codes properly and i found absolutely no instruction no where. And i have a lot more tweaks like that that i want to do. Is there any one here willing to link me to a detailed and intelligent tutorial or to translate my reg tweaks for me so i can finally nail that once for all? I thank you all in advance for your help. Anything could help because even if you dont have a complete answer, i'll do the job of reading the post and take all the bits together and figure it out. Some of you know a little bit that will complete some that an other one know to finally form the big picture.
