Hi,
I want to replace the file redial.exe in the windows folder of my blackstone.
Then I get an error like "access denied".
I have seen that the attributes of the file is read-only, so I have tried to changed it wiht GSFinder but I can't. Another error message says "these attributes cannot be changed".
Maybe it's because it's written "Application (in ROM)" ? But I see several examples in the forums where people replace some files in Windows folder. So I wonder how they can ?!
Any idea ?
Thanks
Try using Resco File Explorer to do the job. It replaces Windows files with ease.

I found a icon called "Icon" in the games folder (where jawbreaker & solitaire reside). When I try to open it it gives me this error message,
ceshell.dll,-162
Cannot find "ceshell" (or one if components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available.
There is also a file called "gamesico" in the WIndows folder, which gives the same response as above.
Please help!
Open the folder using file explorer and delete the icon.
Windows\Programs\Games
Cheerio
I've seena few posts on different sites about this. I also found this on Microsoft's site

Might be of help just to explain what it is / was, but not how it got there.
I've got lots of .dsm and .rgu files in my Windows folder, for example
12e09329-dd44-jhg589856-jh2525656598.DSM or .RGU
they're about 1 to 20k big. About 40-50 of them sit on top of my Windows folder.
have you got them too? What are they there for? And can I get rid of them?
They seem to be "hidden in rom" though, as they appear when the option "hidden on rom" is ticked in total Commander.
they also appear on my desktop's Explorer , throuh Windows Mobile/MyWindowsMobiledevice/Windows (or similar path)
Thanks for you help!
I think it is some digital cert for granting application access. If you delete it, you will be asked some applications is not signed and do you want to execute it. If you say yes, it will create this file again.
right. Have you got them too, or is it only me?
Yes, there is some in my k-jam too, from the timestamp you will know it is created when you installed some applications each time.
and what about this directory
\Windows\OEM on my qtek 9100
It contains MFC80U.dll
and msvcr80.dll
it looks like visual studio files and I don't understand what it does in my user memory.
Either it should be in WM5 files or It should be removed.
What do you think?
Regarding Bynaris Smartexplorer it is the best for smartphones clearly but:
1 - it is not a task manager, it is a file explorer
2 - it has been design to be used with numeric keypad shortcuts on pocket pc it is a pain to use.
However I really like its quickness.
I will just wait for a more pocket pc friendly version before I replace resco explorer.
Yesterday I did hard reset on my magician, I installed few frograms (Pocket Plus, Wisbar Advance 2..) and today after each soft reset I'm getting this error message:
"Cannot find IA_CID_StartUP.exe... "
I found shortcut of this file in Windows\StartUp folder but where is the original file (I didn't find the file with Resco Explorer) and where the original file needs to be (which folder)?
What's this all about, and does anyone knows how to fix this problem?
Thank you!
in the windows folder :wink:

Can you send me this file on my e-mail?
Problem solved!
I've deleted IA_CID.. shortcut file from Startup folder, and now everything works perfect (no error message anymore). I wonder what purpose has this missing exe file; I hope - nothing important 8)
Hi
I'd like to edit the file Preconfig.txt in \Windows. This file is protected. Is there any way to make a file in \Windows writable?
Thank you
Jean-Yves
If I recall correctly, you can copy the file out of the windows directory to another directory and then paste it back over the top of the protected one and then you can edit it.
I may be wrong though, so sorry if I'm leading you up the garden path!
What Codenix said is true, if the file is inside the ROM.
If the file is 'protected' in terms of attributes, you can use Total Commander to disable the attribute first.
I tried removing the read-only/system attributes in Total Commander in some \Windows files on my x01ht, but every time the attributes are reseted back! How to avoid this?!?
yes i have the same problem with you~~
although i use active sync to copy the files to ppc \windows
it also block me and say protected
and i want to copy a new phcanOverbmp.dll replace the old one....
what should i do???
can some brother help~!!!
Some files are in use and cant be unprotected and written over in this manner.. the only way to do it when it fails like that is to cook your own rom... which we are still trying to do, but get closer every day
And for the phcanOverbmp.dll we have cabs in the upgrading forum for this.. read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=287829
and why if i want to edit my start menu items from ASync it don't work?
The files are unprotected but from active sync explorer i can't delete/move it... with resco explorer there are no problems!..
Also.... it interrupt file transfers if i try to copy thumbs.db.. included in win folders :x

I had the same problem - ActiveSync seems to not have the necessary rights for these files. The methods described here solved the problem for me. Yes, the text behind the link talks about problems with registry access, but the reasons and solutions for both problems are the same.

That may or may not be the same problem. I would guess thumbs.db may just be in use (i.e., opened).

I am trying to copy or move a file from \windows which is a .dll file. I am getting an error when trying to do this programatically in C# with .NET. Does anyone know how to access the files in \Windows directory without access restrictions?
Thanks,
heimlich
if they are in the rom one cant just delete or in some cases access them runtime only at pre flashing rom image time
Could you be a bit more detailed? I want to get access to a .dll to see what their function calls are. How can I get the dll onto my desktop to view it?
Thanks,
heimlich
try copying them to your sd card using total commander
I tried that. I get an error telling me it is unable to copy files. Looks similar to error I get when I tried with native file explorer and .net File.Copy();
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
heimlich
If it is in ROM, you can't copy it right out as a file, the best you can do is to LoadLibraryEx it with LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE, then if you can locate it in memory, you can dump it out to a file on disk.
How do I know if something is in ROM? I know it is in \windows and that is about it and in file explorer I can see the file as .dll.
thanks,
heimlich
One way is to use GSFinder. It marks ROM files with a different icon. Most of the files that are in the \Windows folder are in ROM.
