I noticed that the keyboard has a shortcut to the browser. I put a pic to show what I'm talking about. Anytime I click on it, it takes me uses the Internet Explorer I was wondering if there was a way to change it so when I use it it takes me to Opera instead of Internet Explorer.
what you need to do is go into your windows folder with total commander or resco not file explorer and look for Short_Explore.lnk or Short_IE.lnk...push and hold on it and go to properties then shortcut, then change the target to the program location of what you want to use...
I think You must set Opera as your default browser.
jdmsleepr I tried to use total commander to do what you told me and one I choose the program I want to use and click ok and the file changes back to the default one.
AxlR how do I make Opera the default browser?
weird...mine never defaulted back...but to change the default browser...using a reg editor naviagate to HKLM\Software\microsoft\Shell\Rai\DEFBROWSER...change this to whatever browser you want to use!!
Well I kept trying nothing worked so far
it doesn't bug me that much just wish I could change the feature for quicker use.

Ok I'm kind of a noob at windows mobile how do I do this? HKLM\Software\microsoft\Shell\Rai\DEFBROWSER
And I downloaded the new beta for opera and it changed the browser for me but as far as the button on the keyboard it still goes to the ie browser.

I wish to change the default app settings in PPC 2003 - in particular I want a diffferent web browser than PIE to run when a web page is referenced. This is very easy to do in Palm OS through the Preferences but I cannot find a similar feature in PPC.
Frank
Also easy in ppc, Whichever software app you're using should have an option to set as default. I use netfront and it has a checkbox to set as default program. A second way if your program does not seem to have this option is to use a program called resco explorer and you can change the associations of all extensions that end in .htm or .html to whichever program you like.
Mike
Mike, thanks for the response. I use Thunderhawk and it does not have a default option. I have Resco File Explorer and I did not realize one could use it to associate apps with file extensions. I'll take a look.
Frank
OK, I have spent some time with Reso File Explorer and nowhere do I see a way to associate an app with a file extension. I would appreciate a hint about how to proceed.
Frank
Just hold the pen on the file u want to open in resco and chose the "open" almost at the top with an arrow for more choice and chose "open with"
Hope that helps.
Yes, thanks for the response and I see how to do it with Resco now.

Hi there,
I have used Spb Pocket Plus in the past and one feature I really liked was that it tweaked the default File Explorer so that filename extensions are displayed.
I no longer use Pocket Plus but I really want to be able to see filename extensions. I have tried Total Commander as a replacement but it is not a seamless replacement. The same goes for Resco. I would prefer to avoid using additional software to save on space.
I assume that Spb must have simply tweaked the File Explorer application or WM2003SE simply by creating or amending a registry entry. Does anyone know how they do it? I'd really like to get this functionality back without having the overhead of Pocket Plus on my device.
You could use resco file explorer it will allow you to show the files extensions..

Can't you read? He specifically doesn't want to use Resco because again, it doesn't integrate with the File Explorer in the way that SPB Pocket Plus does.
I'll have a quick dig around in the registry for you, don't hold your breath as I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for, but I'll have a look anyway, I might come across it (I kinda half-know what to look for, I'll definitely know what it is when I come across it )

Not had much luck so far, it must be a shell extension which P+ adds... I'll keep on doing some research, as I'd quite like it too.

Hi Peterw,
I do understand your point in space saving. Resco file-explorer combined with registry & ftp add-ons takes around 1Mb to install, but you can easily install it in the storage folder. Guess you know already that resco gives you much more than file-extensions only. Personally I like it, I know it's a matter of taste & maybe BIG Storage.
If I happen to stumble around a registry key to solve it, I'll let you know.
regards, M
I wonder if there is any fingerfriendly filebrowser available or if somecould programm one...
I thought of something like PocketCM just for the file-system...
yes there is some nice software to read the internet page, BDF files, documents and even pictures and it is fingerfriendly browser called "picsel browser, i am not sure if it is allowed for me to put the link here but i can send it your email so just give me your email
picsel browser only zooms and pans, it doesnt scroll through files like pocketcm. Some ROM's have finger friendly file browser incorporated in them so im sure they could program up an app to do it
For file browser try Totalcmd, if you can't find it tell me, also, I want to know if I can find photolab anywhere cause in the official site there is no download

?? total commander does not scroll like PocketCM, its just a file browser/Reg editor
No, you can scroll like PocketCM, go to Show>Large Icons oh, you might be right cause I have TouchFlo, but give a try
on a touchflo enabled device you could try resco explorer. with the big icons view you can use your thumbs to navigate through the folders.

TotalCommander also has a big icons view that works well with touchflo enabled device. Works for me anyway!
I wonder, do you need to use a file explorer than often and in such places where you can't use your stylus?
If it was as easy as using pcm and had filters in like pcm, all cabs, all mp3, all .exe, etc. etc. with the ability to set a default action, I would use it more than anything.

Well you'll use it because you don't have better application for specific task, don't you think?
listing mp3 won't be as good as a good player
listing cab ... you isntall app that often?
listing exe, you'll probably need a launcher.
etc...

I do seem to install quite a few cabs. My examples were not the best. The thing for me tene with your software is it is so satisfying to use. I love the feedback it gives me and the whole feel of it. I guess that is what I want everywhere on my orbit, file explorers always seem cluttered, ugly and filled with tiny little icons that I often make a bad selection. I think I use my file explorer more than my contacts at the moment, but I hardly have any mates!
Picsel File Viewer is pretty hot. if someone gets it, please post it because i REALLY want it
try out spb pocket plus v.4
I am having problems viewing jpg files. i can only view them through the camera album. i cant just click on a picture to view it. i have to open pictures and videos and then go through all my pictures to find the one i want to view. it use to work and now it doesn't. when i select a picture i get the message "There is no application associated with "name of file." Run the application first then open this file from within the application." I have soft reset the phone 3 times and nothing has changed. i don't know what changed on the phone i haven't done anything but install a couple of games. does anyone have a clue or can point me in the right direction. i dont feel like wiping the phone and starting fresh again.
Open your file explorer and see if you can open "pimg.exe" in the Windows folder.
I can do that and it opens. I cant say go to my storage card with file explorer go into my pics and then just click on a pic to view it. thats when i get the message. i have to open up pictures and videos and the search thru them to find the one i want to view it. i was able to do that a few days ago and now i cant. the only thing i can think of that might have made a change was system mechanic and i did run that recently.
If you changed the default app for it, it may have caused a problem. There are 1 or 2 apps I know of that can change associated apps. Schap's adv config will do that. If that doesn't fix it, try the trial of resco explorer. It has an "open with" dialogue that allows you to set default apps. I'm not sure if it would stick after deletion though. I forget the name of the other app designed to change default apps, I used to use it in the PPC kitchen.
If nothing fixes, do a hard reset.

Its getting me closer to the answers i need.

Hi guys,
is it possible to change the default Browser (T-Mobile web'n'walk [Opera9]) to self-installed Opera10?
Could not find any possibility...
thanks!
No ideas? Damn T-Mob branding. No ROM Update available
I don't have Opera 10 installed, so can't give you exact instructions, but there's an executable in the windows folder called OperaL. This is what manilla runs when you open internet explorer from the internet tab.
You need to replace that with the executable for opera 10. It's also possible that there are associated files and/or folders with Opera 10. They may or may not need to be copied into the windows folder too. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don't have Opera 10 as I prefer to keep the ability to pinch-to-zoom.
Incidentally, this has nothing to do with T-Mobile's branding. An off-the-shelf SIM free HD2 (like mine) uses Opera 9 from the internet tab too. It just isn't branded as T-Mobiles.
Thanks for your answer.
If this would be a "normal" Opera 9, it would be OK and no Problem. But every time I'll start the Browser by clicking the icon in the internet tab, the "web and walk"-Opera-Browser asks me "Would you really go online?" and I have to tap "yes". This is really ugly and so I want to replace it by another browser - in this case opera 10.

I understand - that would get on my tats as well! If you prefer Opera 10, try the above. If you'd like to keep Opera 9, I could supply you with the exe off my phone and it may get rid of the message. Don't know for sure though.

Check "HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults\ConnectConfirmationMsg" and set it to 0
also check "HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults\FirstTimeConnectConfirmationMsg" and set that to 0.
Good luck!
Thanks for this registry hack, but both of them are set to 0 by default. very ugly.
@johncmolyneux thanks, but my colleague has a hd2, too, but unbranded. he will send me his operal.exe and then we'll test if it's running.
It's pretty easy to bypass the MessageBox. The Opera (or Web'n Walk) Shortcut in the startmenu points not to \windows\OperaL.exe but \windows\BrandedBrowser.exe... so simply edit the shortcut located in \windows\startmenü\programme with totalcommander or something.
As Far as the Internet Tab in Manila goes... i don't have a clue. i searched the registry, searched several xml files in \windows....
YES, DID IT!
Thank you, operative1.
I've searched the registry for "BrandedBrowser" and:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\UseBrandedBrowser set from 1 to 0 and look - Opera10 is opening. Now i just have to change the Icon - but at the moment i'm really happy that the Shortcut is right!
Thank you all guys!
Great. Looking long time for it.
Thanks a lot.
idephili
THANK YOU! It fit's!
No hack/edit needed!
If you open Opera 9 and go to Menu/Settings/Advanced and uncheck Set Opera as default browser then exit. When you install Opera 10 it asks at that time if you'd like to set it as your default browser select yes and your done. No registry hacks or anything else needed.
