Hello,
I can add favorites to IEMobile via a provisioning document in a .cab file. But how do I do this for Opera Mobile bookmarks?
Thank you very much.
It's simple, go on the opera dir, copy this file : "opera6.adr", and you have your bookmarks!
If you want, you can just copy manually this file each flash, or make a cab to copy it automatically.
And how can I do this with a .cab file or a provisoning document? I want to add bookmarks to specific URLs in Opera Mobile. And the user shall do nothing else than downloading my .cab file and install it.

Hey Guys,
I have been customising my extended rom so when I hard reset I get all the applications I want (Resco file explorer etc). I have been doing this with .cab files fine.
The problem is that I have files which are .exe setup files (e.g Flash player 6). These have to be installed on the PC, and the cab is copied to the XDA and run. I would like to just have e.g a flash CAB file to put on the extended ROM.
is there a way to convert the PC EXE into a XDA cab file, or some way to run the PC exe on the device automatically in extended rom?
I know some .exe setup files can be extracted using winrar which then give you the cab file, flash player isnt one of them though.
Regards,
Jez.

Use Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) to look for the path where your Desktop Exes are extracted to PocketPC Cabs:
Look for this value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"InstalledDir"="k:\system\hardware\pda\imate\ASync"
Now, open your Windows Explorer and go to the path. You will find your cabs in corresponding folders (e.g, folder MacromediaFlash shall contain Flash6.arm.cab and etc...)
If you need to do more complex restoration, use Restorator tool. It restores your directory and file structure, registry settings, installs cabs, writes boot screens and does everything nice...
Oh my god, you are both bloody geniouses!!
This is wicked, cheers guys!

Any other ways to xtracting & repacking to cab?
Renaming the file format (exe to any formats) & exe xtractor software doesn't work.
I can compress any data to .cab, but how to xtract perfectly exe files?
Convert EXE to Cab online without having to download any software
If you have an EXE file that you would normaly run on your PC to install a sofware... it looks like this online converter work to have it converted into a cab file for your cell phone!!!
try it!
1- first you need to compress your EXE file into a ZIP folder... that will create a ZIP file on your desktop.
2- then you go to http://media-convert.com/convert/
3- browse on the first field to determine witch file on your pc you want to convert .. select the ZIP file you just created...
4- on the second part of the page you will be ask what format you want to convert your ZIP file to .. on the scrolldown menu select . CAB... and hit the convert button .. the online service will do the rest ..
Basicaly will upload your file onto their server , process it and render it to you on a file download link ...
There you go you have now a CAB version of your EXE file to upload on your phone with ActiveSync...
My problem
how to say... the site is cool ,and i get my file converted. However, the nature of that file hasn't been changed into a cab. it is still an exe. I dunno if i have done something wrong when converting.
Hi all,
Does anyone know where does Opera 8.2 for Windows Mobile 5 (MDA) keep it's bookmark and user settings? Opera says that it's located in a file that is unique to the installation file (Symbian, WM5, etc.), but I don't know where is it.
Can anyone help?

In Opera 8.50 for Windows Mobile BETA (1635):
\Application Data\Opera\opera6.adr --> favorites (you can edit with notepad or something)
\Application Data\Opera\english.lng --> language file (you can edit with notepad and translate to your own language if wanted, save to english.lng because there is no way to switch languages in Opera itself)
\Application Data\Opera\input.ini & opera.ini --> settings voor the Opera browser itself
Thanks a mil, 2tje!
1 How do I open URL's with Opera Browser by DEFAULT
2 I went into Total Commander and deleted the file association for URLs in attempt to make it work for Opera Browser on the Xperia.
Well, it doesn't work, and when I set it to iexplorer.exe the Xperia gives me infinite loops and freezes on me.
Can someone just give me the default association settings when they click on properties, I am sure this will fix my URL opening problem.
Download and install Xperiatweak, it has an option to set your default browser.

That doesn't apply to Total Commander or File Browser....
Dude you should try it. Save a URL on a real computer, transfer it into your phone, and then open it via any file browser.
It will open in Internet Explorer.
LISTEN PEOPLE, instead of giving suggestions that will not work, can someone just please follow these steps in Total Commander and tell me what is on the screen?
Step 0: Upload a .URL file into your storage card
Step 1: Click on Program Menus
Step 2: Click on Total Commander
Step 3: Press and hold on a URL file inside your memory card
Step 4: Click on properties
Step 5: Click on the Associate tab
Step 6: Click on the Associate button
Step 7: tell me exactly what is shown on the following fields: Command, Parameter, Icon File, and Index
I thank any angel that helps me out on this.
Someone please help me, I know one of you has total commander, can make URLs, and has windows mobile 6.1.
i had this problem also and have fixed most of the links to opera except for emails. the screenshots below show the associations for .html and .url which are different. i'm guessing .html is probably the one you want to copy but i have provided both just in case. i ended up using a cab as there are registry settings for others and i had problems with rss hub links. if i find the cab i'll post it but i got it from xda-devs general section i think, try a search for opera associations, opera rss or something like that.
EDIT: my email links do work, i'm sure there is something that still opens PIE but i can't remember. check the reg key HKLM> Software> microsoft> shell> rai> : DEFBROWSER
0=Opera Browser
1="\windows\OperaL.exe"

Thank you dear sir, I'll also look into searching the words: Opera and association
I didn't know about html associations. I'll see if your solution works (soon)!

All I get is a blank page, even thought I can still browse the internet and all, the URLs still dont open!!!!!!!!
The file I am trying to open is URL because when I save a bookmark or website url, I want to open it via Total Commander, exactly the way I open Microsoft Word Documents.
I have no idea what the heck .html files are, but anyways, your method and your registry cab does not work...
What am I doing wrong? And what exactly are .html files?
Please help me, I find it very inconvenient to be forced to go to Opera Browser and then open links from there.
It would be much easier to click a saved link and then open via opera browser.
I used PHM Registry Editor
and
ab 0 = Opera Browser
ab 1 = "\Windows\OperaL.exe
D 2 = 1 (0X000001)
D 3 = 0 (00000000)
It still doesnt work
1. Ok...what are HTML files?
2. What the heck does it mean to open Email links? Does it mean to open a URL like "www.hotmail.com"?
3. How do I open a website link from my Windows Vista that is transferred into Windows Mobile?
I tried your advice and it doesn't work. When I open www.google.com via a .URL file... this is what I get in the address bar in opera:
file:/Storage%20Card/My%Stuff/Google.url
I want to see this in the Opera address bar:
http://www.google.com/
I am basically talking about opening bookmarks in the form as URL. because bookmarks can only be saved in URL format via Internet Explorer or Mozilla firefox on my computer, so how do I open these bookmarks when transferred?
How do I back up my opera bookmarks?
Previously I have just saved the whole opera program folder and then replaced it.
Is there just one file I can save that would do the same?
I've got opera 9.7 installed on my card, but in the 'Profiles' folder there is a file called "OPERA6.ADR" that appears to be the favorites. There's also a file called "COOKIES4.DAT" that stores cookies, and in the 'Secure' folder you'll find a file called "WAND.DAT" that has your login info.
when trying to download windows mobile free extras via internet explorer i dowenloads them but in the form of themes (when i inistall them it opens the theme selection menue ) what is the problem also when downloading via opera it works probaply
This is not a solution but a workaround - if you are using IE, rename the extension of the downloaded file as .cab if they are in .tsk and you should be good to go.

how to rename it
Go to the folder where the file is downloaded (default is /My Documents) and rename it using file explorer or file commander
