Okay, right part of the forum this time.
I need the old WM5 (Or earlier, whatever anyone has) version of Pocket Internet Explorer because a remote control program I have for my desktop PC won't work with the new version, and alternate browsers (I've tried all I can find) don't seem to be able to launch the client program that it needs to work. So, if anyone has a copy of this or can at least tell me a way to extract it from my old pocket PC (it's in there, but a locked system file that I can't figure out how to copy) it would be enormously appreciated. If not, can someone recommend a really fast remote control server/client application for Windows XP/WM 6? I tried a VNC combo a while back and it was too slow to use for what I'd need it for (Do different VNC server apps work faster?) and I don't have XP Pro, so I don't think I can use the WM6 Remote Desktop Mobile app (As it seems to require that remote server that XP Pro has.. Can't recall the name right now) I saw the WM6 version of Internet Explorer Mobile on the forums archive, so I know it's possible to extract the IE programs I just can't figure out for the life of me how it was done. x.x Not to mention I'm not even sure if the old version of PIE will help this problem any. Seeing as how I am running out of ideas though, I have to try it. I'll update in this thread if I get any new information.
Thanks in advance,
Vena
Update -- Issue resolved! After much googleing, and tons of sites with no answer, I solved the problem myself with a good, old-fashioned directory peek. *feels stupid for not checking this first* See, there was a file in the directory of the remote control program I was using, and all I had to do was add some lines to tell it what the new internet explorer was. Once I did that, and reloaded the program a few times, it worked perfectly. So, if anyone else ever has any trouble with getting Remotely Anywhere to work on a WM6 device, just unzip the attached file and put it in the Remotely Anywhere install directory (Probably C:\Program Files\Remotely Anywhere).
I'm wondering if there's any program that allows me to "browse" the network I connect to with WIFI. I've been trying to use Total Commander mobile for it, but there doesn't seem to be any support. As I use quite a big home network including NAS and servers it would be nice to be able to access them through my PDAphone. I'm using a workgroup at home. Who can point me in the right direction?
Edit: A small addition; I have searched the forum for more information and - although it has been mentioned - there's not much information to find. The only thing I did find is that Total Commander *should* be able to do it, in which case someone has to teach me how ^^
I prefer resco explorer, it works pretty well, it also has ftp plugin available

fwiw if you want a whole heap of decent software for very cheap become a plus member at modaco, paul has a deal with plenty of software houses that allow him to give software such as resco explorer to his plus members..

It's worth it for resco explorer, flexmail, sprite backup and pocket informant alone..

For Resco explorer, you don't need the FTP plugin if yr NAS support windows networking. You can search by workgroup or simply connect by IP address
yep indeed, I was highlighting the ftp plugin as it's the best I've found on winmo. ;P
Alright, I will try resco then and let you know how it turns out.
Hi there,
sorry to ask this simple question to you pros here, but can someone please post a link on what Registry and File Editor to use on the HTC HD2?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
I have Soti Pocket Controller, so I use the one that's included with that. It's a lot easier to do it from a PC screen and you're less likely to make any mistakes.
Thanks for the swift reply, so you are not using some software on the device itself but on the PC.
Are you using this version: http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
?
Cheers
P.S. If I wanted to use soemthing on the device itself, what do you recommend?
I love Resco Explorer, it is a very very good file manager and has an equally good registy editor included.
otherwise, the free total commander does a good job, too, but is not really finger friendly.

Cheers and Thanks
I think the best is Resco Explorer and Resco Registry...

I have Resco Explorer which apparently has a good Registry editor, but I've never used it TBH. I'm sure other guys here are better placed to recommend a good registry editor to use directly on the phone.

I used 2008 and now for testing 2010. Both works good
File explorer
What sort of files are you planning on editing?
As a file explorer, I found a very useful extension called fexploreext which is not a swiss army knife, but a single blade pocket knife. Very useful, and simple.
For the registry, I use a desktop editor called CeRegEditor free from from mdsoft.pl
On the device, PHM is good.

Yes that's the one. Without wishing to sidetrack thsi thread I use Pocket Controller to type long messages, texts or emails on my phone using my PC or laptop. It's much easier & quicker than typing directly on the phone and with the HD there's absolutely no lag.
I am using Resco Explorer 2010 (BETA) and love it. The interface isn't any different from previous version, which is fine as they had a touch interface that worked perfectly on HD2 already.

Hi there,
I was looking into modding my HD2 with the Mods featured on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Thus I assumed I will need both programs, right?
Cheers and thanks all for your replies!
I would like to try Total Commander 2.52 beta, but cant figure out which cab to download, do i need all 4? Please help a nOOb...
http://tcce.s3.amazonaws.com/b2/cabs.htm
Got it (arm.cab), just had to read...hehe
Even bigger noob question - what do I do with the above arm.cab file? Step by step instructions would be v handy

Find where you have saved the cab file using file manager and tap on the cab to install. Let it install and then it should then appear in your start menu. Cabs are to windows mobile what setup.exe is to desktop windows.
Many thanks Wizzzard. So far so good. I'm guessing that most .CAB's should be installed on the device and not on the Storage card? I've just installed Total Commander and now just need to figure out how it works etc and start looking in the Hints and Tips section.

Same here. However, I also have the freeware 'PHM Regedit' installed on my HD2 for emergency alterations when on the move. It works quite well with fingers.
As for file editors you simply cannot beat Resco Explorer. It's the best file explorer/editor on Windows Mobile but unfortunately isn't free.
For anyone not using activesync and wanting to try the resco 2010 beta, you can just open the installer with winrar and itll show u the cabs, copy to phone and install.
9/10, nice, but i expected more change since previous resco explorer & plugins, then again its still beta so more change may come
What file explorer does everyone use? I use Resco but just wondered if there was a more slicker looking one out there?
i use gsfinder, not the best looking but most functional and free
I use total commander, once again not great looking, but it is free and it is fast, also has a registry edit facitility
i like resco explorer 2010 the best IMO
but its for pay
after that total commander
File Explorer - For its ability to send via Bluetooth
GS Finder - Because it's touch friendly for general cut/copy/paste
Total Commander - For its registry editor
Yes I do use all three, every day

Yeah as in >File>Send To>Send via IR. - Doesn't work for me
I used GS Finder all the time on my Polaris and Diamond, but it just sticks in "searching" on the HD2, I assumed the HD2's different BT stack was the problem, unless it's my laptop's Linux BT.
Maybe I should boot XP to try it. Now then - where's my inhaler

Going off topic here. I assume this is the HD2's problem. All the .exes I have to toggle the bluetooth don't work with the HD2, they do nothing.
+1 for Resco Explorer. It's not free, but it's worth it.

i like resco explorer one of the best finger friendly file explorer out there although you have to pay for it but its worth it .. and before i used resco explorer i used file extension which pretty much just gave some additional options to the original explorer
Resco please,it looks good and is finger friendly. Plus Resco photo maneger (latest ver) is quiet nice.

It is light, can create and send shortcuts to pgm folder, shows hidden files and integrates with file explorer.
Is there an app for my HD2 that will allow me to browse a shared folder on my PC via wifi? I have a Shared folder on my network that all of my computers and XBOX360 get videos and music from, I am looking for an app that will allow my HD2 to access those files. I'm running the energy ROM.
the HTC Network Plugin , just search for it, works fine on my HD2 , lets you map a network folder ..
Give it a search ...
Resco File explorer will work as well. I haven't been completely happy with it though and will give the above mentioned HTC solution a try. My problem with Resco could be my network though so don't shy away from trying it.
