Is it possible to change something in ex. regedit soo that a certain program can open my files.
Ex. i have some moveis in .mov format but i have to open the program and then the file instead of the other way...
With Resco Explorer you can tap and hold and select open with and check "always open with this program". I don't know how its done with other file explorers because i don't use them.

For some reason my Internet Explorer program never appeared on the
start menu or in the programs folder. Every time I want to open it I need
to use file explorer and open it from the folder. Does anyone know how I
get it into the program folder? I've even tried cut and paste but can't.
thanks

Start > Settings > Menus* > [x] Internet Explorer
?
Internet Explorer doesn't appear as an item to be checked. That's my problem.
ah
Start > Programs > File Explorer
browse for "iexplore.exe"
tap and hold on "iexplore.exe", then choose "Copy" from the popup.
browse to Windows\Start Menu\Programs
choose Menu, then Edit, then Paste Shortcut
rename the shortcut to just "Internet Explorer".
You'll then find IE in Start > Programs > Internet Explorer
And you'll also find it in that list to add it to the Start Menu.
Thanks for the idea but unfortunately it didn't work. I have tried the copy-paste idea on the xda and I get the message "Cannot copy 'iexplore': Executable and resource files in ROM cannot be copied."
If I try to do the copy-paste thing through the PC the "iexplore" file doesn't even show in the place I can clearly see it in the windows folder on the xda!
It's got me stumped.
cheers, Brett
Those phpBB errors are getting quite annoying.
/me re-types
Silly protectionisms in Windows Mobile...
Try the attached file - it contains a shortcut to IE. Just place the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ - should do the trick.
PRESTO!!
Thanks ZeBoxx. Worked a treat.
Hi all,
how to set file associations to particular program...
i installed 'RESCO EXPLORER' which has option 'open with'. i tried opening '.cab' file through it with 'open with' program as explorer. it ran that '.cab' file once. after that i m not able to run any other '.cab' file. when i try to open any '.cab' file even through in-built WM explorer, nothing happens and explorer hangs.. i think i have messes up with file associations.
Can anybody pls tell how to associate '.cab' file to appropriate program??
thanks
Try Total Commander CE (in properties )
More specifically, I want to be able to open AVI files with Coreplayer instead of WMP
Anyone know how I could do this?
I think you can try to find a program called Advanced Configuration Tool. It has a menu to change file associations of windows mobile.
I tried it but it didn't seem to change anything (tried to change ".txt"associated program from mobile Office to Notes, but it still opened it with Office)
I would also recommend to try Resco Explorer, which is an alternative file browser. It has an "Open with..." option when you right-click on a file you want to open.
GSFinder also allows you to change file associations. A great file browser, and free too!

open with program gives you the option to "Associate selected Program with this file type"

am i missing something?
a) open core player - press open buton (the little one like a triangle) - go to location of your avi file - select avi file - press ok
for me it works with no problem
b) open core player - menu - tools - preferences - select page - file association - check video files box
c) open resco explorer - go to your avi file location - select your file by long pressing it - on the pop up menu select "open with" - check "always use this program..." box - select core player - press done
b) and c) should work even when you open your file from file explorer or resco explorer, etc.
good luck
In my Dopod, when I click on a TXT file in my File Explorer, it always opens in MS Pocket Word. Then I have to be careful to select the correct file save as text files.
I installed some alternative NotePad programs but there appears to be no way to change the file extension type assignments to start up the correct program instead?
I have googled quite a bit but came up empty!
Anybody solved this problem?
Thanks!
AFAIK, Advanced Config has such an option to change file associations.
I had Advanced Config 3.2 already but did not know it had file association.
Found it under More Settings!
Unfortunately, when I tried to re-assign the program, it bombed when I was navigating the tree view.
Eventually, had to copy the application to \Program Files\ and select it from there!
After that, it seems to accept the settings.
Unfortunately, after the soft reset, the extension is still pointed to same application as before!
Latest update!
Something very funny is going on.
Advanced Config shows that the file association has been changed.
TXT file is now:
\Program Files\PocketTextEditor.exe "%1"
However, when I click a txt file in File Explorer, it still opens with Pocket Word!
Did I do something wrong?
Thanks!
The scenario is like this: I use ES File Explorer to access my network storage and want to open some comic file (*.cbr, *.cbz) in a comic reader app, but it show "no application available".
So, how can I set an specific app to open files in ES File Explorer?, cause it seem that every app can only open local file.
Thanks
no guarantee but try this:
long tap on the file - select open with - select what type of file it is (i think text in this cas) - then you should be able to select your preferred app - don't forget to tap on "set as the default open"

I've tried this method too, but the app Iwant to open the file did not show in the list
