Hey all,
I can't find the right search string for this. If there is a thread, I'm sorry in advance. Does anyone know how to change the default program a file opens with? Opera 9.5beta stole my default browser so IE no longer works when I click .html , and documents to go stole my default office document extension so office mobile no longer opens anything by default. Is there a setting somewhere which lets you change this? Thanks.

You can use Schaps Advanced configuration tool to make these changes. You can change your default browser and file associations.

thanks for your prompt reply Is there any other way to do this? Advanced Config seems to conflict with some other stuff I have on my touch already, and I don't want to uninstall it. Is there any way to do this through registry?

hi there,
Im actually wanting to edit .php files on my tytn, without having to change the file extension to .txt all the time. Is this possible at all?
Thanks in advance!
Jon
Anyone know if this is possible?
Does anyone seriously know how to do this?
Sure it cant be that hard can it?
I suppose its just not possible then?
Anybody? Hello? hello? hello?

I'm looking for the same thing! but i could only find VB editing software for the PPC
I have seen this:
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=8618
Cheap but not free.
you looking for "open with" - try Resco Explorer 2005....lets you change file associations.
that looks like it would do the job, but its more expensive than the other piece of software i linked and wouldnt do syntax highlighting.
I am really wanting a way to change file associations, so i can open a .php with the word.

*** EDIT ***
Hmm it doesn't seem to be build for PHP, elseif isnt highlighting etc
I use the edit function in total commander to edit HTML files without changing the extension to .txt then back to .htm
It appears willing to open any file type into a text editing window and will save it without complaining. The only limitation is a maximum file size of 64k.
If anyone discover more pseudo-handlers for HTML panel development. Post them here.

To launch applications from the Program Files directories you need to use something of this form. The "%CE1%" sets you to the program files directory
Google Maps
Replace %CE1% with any of these to go to the directory

%CE11% = \Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Nice stuff. But how do you open URL with Opera instead?
And how do you start an installed app?
Im not too sure. I spent while yesterday trying to figure out where the root read directory is.
EDIT: Seems the exe's are located in \\Windows\
So, im guessing if you wanted to launch a website in Opera it would be

Not sure yet. However most of the apps should be in \\Windows
How about trying the winmo aliases, can't find a list of em at the mo, but : DEFBROWSER and the like. (without the space, stupid smilies)
Then the paths have defined shortcuts but I can't find a list of those either (I'd best go to bed too tired, before I fail to find that as well) something like CE% points to /windows etc.

hi,

if so could someone post the code i need.
thanks
Hi there and thanks for this tips!
I've got an application saved on my memory card, any idea how to specify the link to be able to start the app?
Thanks
Stefan
Hi again,
Having tested a bit more I realised there is one more basic thing I don't get to work besides figuring out the right path to the memory card.
I have an application that I have developed myself. The application can be started by going browsing for the file in the file explorer, and then clicking it. the question then is; How do I then make a link in my html-panel to start the application?
I thought I could use the links like above, but exchange the name of the application to the file-path? This seems to work for my installed applications, e.g. Xperia Tweak can be started by with:
XperiaTweak
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But my own application can not be started with:
VOR applikation
Click to expand...

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Or are there alternative ways of starting up my application?

Stefan
Hi there,
I'm building my own panel and get stuck with some links that are on my memory-card.
I want to link to G-Alarm wich is on \Opslagkaart\Programmabestanden\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe (yeah, that's Dutch), but the link to
extended://app:start?app=\Opslagkaart\Programmabestanden\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
doesn't work. I get a . NET CF initialising error. Strange because I can open these from the Start menu. Same goes for moBlog:

And does someone know where to link to if I want to start the MSN chat, the Calculator and the Notes?
When I've taken care of these little issues, I'll share my panel here. Thanks in advance!

Hi gys, been working on a HTML panel and cant find out the following info.
I'm sure all the exe's have additional args, is there anywhere that has them all together.
one im looking for is for the tmail.exe so i can show sms when i click on the image.
i have at the moment
Code:
a href="extended://app:start?app=tmail.exe" img src="email.bmp" alt="email"></a>
this will open the mail app but not automatically select the email screen.
Anyone know the right arguments?
It's really annoying that this isnt held centrally somewhere, sony need to get in gear, lol!
Opening a .lnk file
Hi guys / gals,
i have a two .lnk file in windows folder that will allow me to create a new text msg and allow me to go to sms view in tmail.exe.
How would i open these using html?
tried a few variations.
href="\WINDOWS\NewSmsMsg.lnk" will open the text contained in the file and messes up the panel, sets the panel screen to be the text inside the shortcut file from then onwards, the panel must be uninstalled to fix that issue.
calling href="WINDOWS\NewSmsMsg" done nothing
same as href="NewSmsMsg" and ="NewSmsMsg.lnk"
Anyone got any ideas.
Annoying as clicking on these shortcuts in the windows folder will do the desired action, just trying to get me html panel to do more useful actions.
Oh and you can write java script in html panels, it's in the example html panel for visual studio creating panels, not sure about flash, have not tried it, it probably JS only being microsoft.

No problem at all. Another tip that you might want to know is that you can keep the alphabet scroll always on by unchecking the auto hide scroller enabled option (Menu/option/customize under the general tab), whille keeping the enable touch scrolling and letter navigation scroller options ticked.
I find having it on all the time useful. I can very quickly go to the file name that I want, similar to searching the contact database. Make sure that you sort by name though.

No, I don't have that manila file but I can see many other manila files. I don't see why this manila file has to be different from the other manila files though. If it is there, it should show up since the others with same file attributes are showing.
Sorry that I can't be of more help Alex.

Hello!
Is there any standalone cab or reg fix so you can have the name of the program under the icon in the Program tab?
EDIT: and when you go into Program from the start menu, can you move the icons in there to a specific map so you can get the program view a little more organized?
You can move all the programs around and rename the files by using total commander or resco file explorer.
I have done this to organise the folder into many sub-folders.
Thank you Dave!
Now for the name under program tabs, couple of cooked roms that have the feature in them so there should be a easy way like a cab or a reg-hack

Sorry - I meant the program view in the START menu not the TAB (you had both).
I don't now use the program TAB in TF3D as I have all the programs organised in sub-folders under windows\programs and windows\office mobile.
I use that with quick menu and it's so much faster for my many apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3117017&highlight=secondtoday#post3117017 - it's grown since then !!)

Hi,
Got rather a big problem. I installed Resto Explorer and was using it quite happily until the trial period lapsed. I did purchase the program as I liked it but got the wrong license generated and still waiting to hear from their support on getting it fixed. In the mean time I was unable to edit or do anything of substance.
So in my wisdom I decided to remove it for now. Big mistake! I am now unable to explore my phone as I cannot find the default explorer. I think I may have removed that from the start menu. OCD cleanliness you understand!!
So I cannot explore at all and thus cannot install anything to replace it.
Anyone know how I might recover from this one?
Cheers.
try installing total commander
Ok panic over. I used pcsync to copy a shortcut of fexplore.exe to start menu. Phew!
What someone mind posting the registy location and values of the default file explorer please so I can fully recover as it was and this time keep it there!!
Thanks.

Not quite sure what you expect to be stored in the registry for the file explorer. I've had a brief look and can't see anything in there. Just using it will set up any data storage that it uses. AFAIK it only needs to remember the last location it was in - nothing more.
Well at the mo all I have in the start menu now is "Shortcut to fexplore.exe". I woudl like to clean that up as far as possible to be what it it supposed to be.

Open file explorer and go to windows\start menu\programs and find the shortcut. Just rename it in there.
Incidentally, if you select an application, anywhere on your phone and do "Copy", you can then go to the above mentioned programs folder and do "Paste Shortuct". Just in case you lose any more shortcuts
