Can't write to Windows or save Registry Changes

Hi All,
I'm trying to make some registry changes on the Mogul and when I save the changes all is ok until I soft boot and then they go back to their default values. How can I prevent this?
I am also trying to save a file in the \Windows directory and it's giving me an access is denied message, how do I unlock this directory?
Thanks,
X2K

Which registry editor are you using?
Try using Resco explorer and registry editor pluggin:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/
I hope it helps.

I'm using PHM Regedit

Which registry key(s) are you trying to edit? Some keys don't get saved or get reset no matter what upon reboot.

Try this:
In [HKLM\System\ObjectStore] is a reg key "RegistryType=1", which means Hive based registry.
When you set it to "RegistryType=0", which means FILE based registry, all changes you do in the registry will stay there also if you reboot with device's reset button...
BUT AFTER YOU CHANGE THIS VALUE, FIRST REBOOT HAS TO BE DONE WITH SOME SOFTWARE, NOT WITH THE RESET BUTTON.
Subsequent reboots can be done with reset button then.

Great tip, even after a year since you posted it . Couldn't get rid of the default t-mobile -MDA Vario III aka kaiser- settings (PIE homepage e.g.), but you helped me out on this one

Hello all. I have tried to make the registry change (In [HKLM\System\ObjectStore] "RegistryType=1") to "RegistryType=0" mentioned above. That worked fine but I still can't save a change I'm trying to make. I bought MS Voice Command and was told to change the [HKLM\Software\OEM\Voicecommand path to \Program Files\MS Voice Command\voicecmd.exe. I can't seem to save the change. I have used several different registry editors including PHM, Resco and CeRegEditor. The displayed path (\Windows\SDDialer.exe) will not update. I'm using a Verizon XV6800 with WM 6.1 and the Verizon MR-1 update. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to create an exe file, that when run on the PPC (Blackstone with WM6.1), change the value of a registry entry?
Is for change the value HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Activesync\KeepAlive from 1 to 0

You can create a cab file for this.

RegistrySetString is perfect to change any string-value, but I want to change an integer-value (Base decimal). Help, please.

come on. show more enthusiasm and check the other websites...
if you use taskmgr:
create a reg-file "myvalue.reg":
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Activesync]
"KeepAlive"=dword:00000000
and import the reg file:
Code:
taskmgr.exe myvalue.reg
if you use morstscript:
Code:
RegWriteDWord("HKCU", "Software\Microsoft\Activesync", "KeepAlive", "0")

Here is a code i published while ago.. its in C#
you can change it to your needs :

Thanks. MortScript is the best.

Restore "Settings" in touchflo programs menu

Hello
I accidentally removed the "Settings" shortcut in touchflo 2.1 programs menu.
Could someone here provide me with the registry entries to restore it ?
It should be under
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\4 (or 3, can't remember)
Thank you for your Help

Right here goes. Its number 3. the values are as follows. I will include the key and the value but will put the value in () brackets i am also using PHM regedit for this
Command (--switchtopage Manila://settings.page) This is a REG_SZ value
DispName ([[IDS_SETTINGSTITLE]] This is a REG_SZ value
IconPath (\windows\HTC\Assets\Images\programlauncher\Program_icon\settings88.qtc) This is a REG_SZ value
IsReadOnly (1) This is a Decimal REG_DWORD Value
Path (\Windows\manlia.exe) This is a REG_SZ value
Now put this in and all should be well and DONT do it again Leave the Read only value at 1 so you cant delete it

THanks man !
Working, except for the icon. The settings icon is in \Windows\MPI_settings.qtc in my French rom
Anyway, I put back the readonly value to 1, so I don't make the mistake again

no problems any time

How to create automatic reg key ?

Hello,
How can I create a automatic reg key with this values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sys
Add the DWORD setting COD=5374476
And how can I make this file installable, as XML or CAB ?
I want to use this file to make the reg change when I installed a new ROM ...
I don't want to use regeditor all the time, it should be easier
Suggestions ?

Use this mate...

You can make a cab file with as many registry changes as you like and then just run that whenever you need to apply them.
Hope it helps

Create a single cab out of multiple reg entries

Hey guys, I'd like to combine all my registry edits in to 1 single installable cab file. How can I do this? I have several regedits eg:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]"Hide"=dword:0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS and Change - CacheSize to 4096
As you can see, they are stored in my list of tweaks in plain English.. how can I make a properly formatted list of all of them and then make a cab that will install to my PPC and change all the appropriate reg entries.
Thanks in advance!

google ceregeditor. It will turn registry entries into a cab for you.

Yes I actually am using ceregeditor. I can turn a single reg entry into a cab but I'm not sure how I can make a collection of regedits in to one cab file using that software. Could you point me in the right direction?

Just place your regedits in a text file and save it as something like filename.reg. Then open the reg file with ceregeditor and use the convert to cab option. Make sure your reg file is in the proper format (like what you get if you export the registry keys).
So:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]
"Hide"=dword:0
etc
etc

Excellent, thank you!! I will try this out tonight.
Also - is there any way I can DELETE any existing reg entries using this method?
And then I assume I can create new entries using this method also?
Thanks again.

I'm not sure about using this in a cab, but using .reg files, is possible to delete Keys(including SubKeys and Values) or just a specific Value from a Key.
Consider the following registry entry as an example:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]
"Hide"=dword:0
To delete a Key create a reg file with the following:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[COLOR=seagreen][B][[COLOR=red]-[/COLOR]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen][/B][/COLOR]
To delete a Value from a Key create a reg file with the following:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[COLOR=seagreen][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen][/COLOR]
[B][COLOR=royalblue]"Hide"=[/COLOR][COLOR=red]-[/COLOR][/B]
Thanks to Mr. Makk and his tutorials thread for the Value delete (I was only aware of the Key delete from analysing RGUs)
Cheers,

Wow, thank you!!!

Is there any program that will allow multiple REG sections to all be exported to a single "file.reg" so that they can all be reloaded or converted to a CAB install file? I have multiple sections of my Registry which i would like to have in a single .REG or .CAB file but when i export each part of the REG separately then cut n paste to combine then it does not seem to re-install in to my register after a clean ROM boot.
Any ideas?

LOL!
Use WinCe Cab Manager.
Make New Cab, and then import all your reg's into single cab.
If you want to export all regs, just use export function.
If you want edit your entries, you can edit their right there.

Yeah, use wince cab manager! Just add a key to the registry or use file, import reg!
When you want to save the cab you'll get a message that you don't added any files, thats oke because a key or a value isn't a file!
