Looks like a nice application. However I cannot find an option to export a registry key into the .reg file. In the Tools menu I can only see Import, Backup and Restore options, plus Exit. I have MDA Compact IV which is actually supposed to be identical with HTC Diamond.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Thanks a lot, man. Wonderful application indeed. Got it and tested successfully. It does exactly what I want!
However, contrary to PHM RegEdit it does not support Find option, so it is good to have them both installed, I guess.
Thanks so much again!!!

PHM Export
If you 'tap-n-hold' on a registry setting, it pops up a dialog box which contains "Export..." option - what about that?
cheers

I always have to manually regedit several entries every time I rebuild my phone (which is quite often) and am curious on how to automate this. With my PC I simply export the key, modify it if I'm actually deleting the key, and create a batch file with a regedit /s command. Can anyone direct me in this on the pocket PC?
TIA !

Howdy Steven - have you tried Resco Registry? From a quick peek I can see that it can import/export keys...might be just what you are looking for.
Two options:
1. Invest in Tweaks2k which will make setting a bit easier to apply.
2. Install a cab file. The catch here is that you are relying on someone else to accumulate and make the settings for you.
Here is a sample .cab file (a list of the changes are provided).

Steven,
if you tell me what registry entries you need (or if you can export them with a registry editor) then i'll build a cab file which can install the registry edits and all you need to do is reset the device after the cab installs.
by reset you'll need to do the power off reset not the soft reset pin hole...
PHM reg editor has a backup and restore. U could use this and its free

This is what I'm looking for, building a cab file. However I would like to be taught how to fish rather than being given a fish. Where can I find some instructions regarding this?
Thanks!
Steven
Well I was recently taught how to do this using an application called WinCE CAB Manager.....the license fee is expensive which is why I offered to do it for you....

The sample cab file you referenced is a start, thanks! I'm not a programmer but I can write a wicked Dos batch file so this is where I want to start I believe. 'long as I don't have to talk my wife into writing some C code or such I'm cewl.

I see that! $150 is quite expensive. I'm most appreciative of your offer. I really do want to learn to do this on my own though.
Thanks!
i think they have a trial....15 uses.?? i think.....so if you want to use that it works to a certain point.....

I have PHM reg editor installed, but all I can do with it is restore a registry. What I want to do is merge a registry so the registry setting that are missing(not really sure which ones are) are added back and such. How can I do this? Thanks
anyone know? Please?
I'd try something like dotfred task manager for this...

You can export that registry setting using PHM reg editor, copy to your pc and merge it into any.reg.

I think (although I'm not absolutely certain) that the op wants to import some registry settings, which (AFAIK) cannot be done easily with PHM RegEdit
Yes, I want to import reg settings(with out deleting the current ones on there) and PHM does not let me.

dotfred task manager has a registry import function. I'd backup before just to be safe though!
I tried it but it gave me an error and the missing registry files were not actually imported.
What are you trying to install, what registry settings?
If I knew what exact reg setting it was, I would have done it manually. I am trying to get back my predictive texting I lost after installing and uninstalling the Diamond keyboard. So I did a back of my device, did hard reset, then used PHM reg to save the whole default registry. I proceed installed the back up of my registy and then tried to merge the registry with the software mentioned and here we are now.
You need to find out which parts of the registries you want to merge. There simply isn't any piece of software with the intelligence to do that for you.
If you have both your default registry and your own custom registry in .reg format, put them on your PC and use UltraEdit or any similar editor with compare/diff functionality to spot the differences. Judge for yourself which of these are the ones you need. Put only these lines in a new .reg file with the correct header. Copy that to your device, run it, ready for test.
I believe all devices here use unicode, so don't use a .txt based editor.
well I think it maybe the whole hkey local machine I may have to merge or at least everything that does not have to do with installed apps and software.

Depends on which keyboard!
Search for "XT9" which does some of them.

what setting should i change?
How do I export the registry settings for a today plugin or software like weather panel.. rlcalendar..
Hkey_current_user/software/marsware/weather panel...
Hkey_current_user/software/RLcalendar...
i want to save my setting so that next time i flash my phone.. i can just import the settings and wouldn't have to set it up maunally..
I tried exporting with PHM regedit.. by click and holding on "RLcalendar" Folder in the registry tree.. but when I tried to import it to test.. it says "the specified file is not a registry script"
thanks
LOL! Same thing from the chat ! Try using a free desktop reg editor to export.
lol.. gotta get my info somewhow!..
i dont understand what you mean.. a DESKTOP editor?
i have to use my PC to do this?
You don't have to if the PHM wasn't working for you. I'm not sure of which are free, but if you used a desktop one, you could open the registry and export the keys you wanted.
Oh! Just remembered, someone posted som development thread and said to use this one:
WindowsCE Registry Editor
http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/
Someone from the PPCGeeks had a thread on this, I think it was named "Lazy Man's Way", anyways, you can export with this, then make the .rgu file, or OEMizer for building.
please use the QUESTIONS thread next time.

what error does it give you after trying to import the registry? make sure you export the registry as an .ru or .registry file
i don't think you intended to quote me

Use by example the freeware program PHM, that you can find here.

To edit the registry, you can install on your phone one of the following (I'm sure there are other options, but these are three I know):
Total Commander (free)
Resco Explorer (7-day trial, costs $29.95USD)
PHM Registry Editor (free, but site seems to be offline)
Personally I'm happy with Total Commander, which will also let you delete/change locked files, create shortcuts, etc. The only negative is poor optimization for finger touch, so be careful when you use it. No fat fingers!
In Total Commander, navigate to "\\\" (three slashes) to get to the registry. FYI you may need to restart for certain registry changes to take effect.

You need a program that allows you to view/modify the registry. There are several programs available. I have two:
SK Tools
PHM Registry Editor
Do a search for these two.
