Try using Total Commander.
Why are you trying to delete tmail.exe out of interest?
Cheers for reply, I wish to replace it for SMS-Chat due to its inbuilt interface with Titanium it won't let me set SMS-Chat as default.
kill the process, rename the file and copy/paste the replacement file.
No joy, if I use Total Commander it doesnt rename tmail.exe and I cannot delete it still (its cooked in firmware).

Tap and hold on filename and click "Properties" Uncheck everything. You can now do what you want to the file.
Build your own cab, with whatever file you want to replace tmail.exe with set to extract to \Windows\tmail.exe.

Unfortunately In Rom is checked and it won't let me uncheck it so I may need to do as the above post says.

I have a sound called msgbox.wav that is very annoying. I use a onebridgeclient for checking my work email and everytime this connects I get this msgbox clunky sound. I found the file but I cannot remove it or change it to something else because it is writeprotected. Is there anything I can do?. I cannot change the sound in normal settings. I have shut every sound down and still it goes of when connecting to my inbox.
Try using TotalCommander, freeware file manager. It can replace most protected files (copy over it)
If in any cases that it is not able to, the program may be using it. Try disabling the problem by either some TaskManager, or remove them from the start list, and try again. Then re-enable the program.
I hate programs that tried to be funny with so call 'real-sound' effects.
I just tried to delete it using resco file explorer, didn't work. Gives me a message that the file is in ROM memory and can't be deleted, is there really nothing I can do?

You can't delete the file, you have to overwrite it as hanmin says above, just create a wav file with no sound, make sure you name it msgbox.wav and paste it in your windows directory, a warning will come up asking if you want to write over it, just click ok and bobs your uncle, sorted!

I am just about to try that dude
Hi All
I'm sure someone will be able to tell me what I am doing wrong
I have loaded Mortscript on to my E650 and have copied a script from this site and saved it as wireless.mscr
When I run the file from Windows explorer - it opens the file in Word on my E650 and does nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Uninstall Mortscript and then reinstall it. I guess it's a matter of file association in the registry.
mortscript
Thanks....have tried that and it still does not work.
Any other ideas?
You must run once the mortscript's executable to create the associations with the mscr files.

yep, ran the yellow file that was located in the \program files\mortscript folder. It gave me a message to say the file associations has been made yet the docs still open in Word !!
AAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!
Try deleting the key at HKCR\.mscr...then opening mortscript.exe Then try to open your script. It deletes the file assc.

Thanks...where would I find the HKCR\.mscr Does that involve editing the registry as have never done it before
Yes this is a registry key. You will need a registry editor Total commander has a free one. Then just navigate to HKey_Classes_Root(hkcr) and locate the folder .mscr open it and delete the key in there..
In order to locate and edit the registry in total commander tap the / in the top right corner of the screen right next to the .. Then double tap on the \\ then double tap on Registry then HKCR then .mscr and delete the key labeled default ,or you could just double tap on it and then in the box provided type MortScript
key
Thanks,
have done as suggested, removed the keys, have removed and reloaded Mortscript. Rebooted phone....and they still open with Word Mobile !!!
Jeez - can it be so hard !!!
When you open that key what does it say.... when you open word go to menu and options and in display....click on word files, i dont think that will work but its worth a try

Hi, Thanks for your help so far
My word seems to be an editor only - as dont have any options to select.
mort
hi
Am getting somewhere now...turns out the file was named wireless.mscr.txt so have edited it to reflect the proper extension. Will try again now
Thanks again
well that makes a lot more sense...since the actual ext that you are opening is a txt. just drop the .txt
It's probably far more simple: You script has the wrong extension. It must be .mscr, not .psw, .doc or .txt. The default Explorer hides the extension, so your file's pobably named "somescript.mscr.psw" (or *.doc) but is shown only as "somescript.mscr". Use an explorer replacement like Total Commander or Resco, or the desktop's Explorer ("My mobile device") with "Hide extension for known documents" disabled in the options, and you'll see the wrong extension.
Edit: Oops, didn't realize there's a second page...
I'm new to this site and the ways of fooling with the details of this phone. I have an HTC Mogul 6800, WM 6.1, through Sprint. I am trying to install some "iPhone" type software and am stuck almost at the starting point. I'm trying to copy this file
welcomehead.96.png
into the /windows directory on the phone. Since that file already exists on the phone, it would appear that it needs to be overwritten. It won't overwrite as that file on the phone is marked as "read-only". How can I edit that file to remove the "read-only"
thanks
Why not just move the old file to another directory?
I believe you're trying to change the splash screen? Apparantly that file is locked as ROM file and so overwriting may not be possible. Why don;t you change the registry value to point to a different file? Refer this Splash Screen changing guide.
Preffered Registry editior: Free PHM Registry editor
Regards,
Carty..
The file is Read-only, so I can't move it. I tried installing the PHM Registry editor, it thinks it's a Microsoft Daylight savings time update.

Use this......It's a file explorer that will overwrite most system files.
To unlock the registry which you really don't need to do for this simple file overwrite. Do a search for CERegEditor. It's a pc app that will sync to your phone and view aswell as edit your registry. There is a command within the program to unlock with.

Definitely, I confirm this will overwrite that file.

I've actually had bad luck with Total Commander. I've successfully overwritten the file once out of a dozen tries. I've tried the Copy command as well as Move.
Anyone having better luck that can chime in? I'm wondering if I'm just missing a setting in Total Commander.

Have you tried copy to clipboard?
You can also rename the file and then put the new one in there with the good one.

Well I can overwrite with TC and GSFinder. I change my splash screen often due to boredom and I can't remember the last time I had an issue. Your ROM stock or Custom?
My ROM is stock. I guess I'll try this softwre listed above, hopefully I can change the value of this file as it can't be moved, overwritten or re-named right now.
Hi, a little help here needed.
When i tried to do no. 38, when overwriting the file, an error was prompt up stating that "Error Copying File: Access is denied. Be certain that there is enought free storage memory, that the destination is not write protected and that the file is not currently in use."
I have already turn of HTC sense in Today Settings already.
Thanks =D

38. Disable Extra Animation on Clock
Everytime you refresh the home screen, the flip clock starts 1 hour and 2 minutes back to show off the flip animation. You can disable this extra animation so it only flips when it needs to flips. Download the modified manila file at the end of this post. Disable HTC Sense in Today settings. Backup original Windows file (you are going to overwrite) to your SD card. Extract downloaded file to Windows directory on your device (overwriting the original). Enable HTC Sense again in today settings.
Are you using File explorer ? If so, it cannot be done. Use Resco Explorer or Total Commander to overwrite such files
wooo thanks alooooot. =D

Sometimes when i remove a program the picture of the program still stays in the start menu... How would i get rid off that???
you're probably seeing the shortcut. if you have total commander (or any other file explorer that would allow deleting a shortcut), navigate to the proper folder and delete it. you should be fine afterward. hope this helps =)
