File Association

Hi all, I have a little problem with file association.
I can't install a .CAB file anymore from my Qtek2020 because Resco Explorer opens it first with its zip-manager plug-in; so how could I do?
Thx a lot!
Cya

what if you try to do it from file explore ?
and maybe hold down the stylus untill the option menu comes up
dont use Resco Explorer so not sure if it could be a problem in general

I've tried to do it from file explorer but when i tap on the .cab file it automatically starts resco zip-manager plug-in, so I can't perform any operation!
what application stats .cab file?
if I know it I can restore the right file associations

Plz anyone has some help to give?
I'm stuck in this big trouble!

You want to associate the cab files with \Windows\wceload.exe
You can use Pocket Tweak or a number of other tools including Resco file explorer to do this.

How can u change the startup picture?

Probably asked a billion times but can somebody quickly explain how i can have a custom startup picture instead of the cingular one? thanks

If u do a simple search, u will find many posts talking about it.
Anyway, here's the steps (WM5 ONLY):
Step 1)
Backing up the original Bootscreen image.
Open your device's File Explorer and go to /Windows.
Search for an image named 'welcomehead.96.png'.
Copy that file (Tap & Hold on the image's name and tap on Copy).
Paste it somewhere else on your device. Preferably on a removeable storage card (SD, Mini-SD, etc)
Paste the file by tap & holding on an empty space in the file explorer and tapping on paste in the context menu.
Now the file is backed up!
Step 2)
Take the Bootscreen skin you've chosen, and put it on your device.
Now, you need a third party file explorer, because Microsoft, for security/safety reasons, disabled the Built-in File explorer (and ActiveSync Explorer)
from replacing system files.
Resco Explorer is a good 3rd Party explorer but there are tons of freeware explorers out there to do the job.
Paste the Bootscreen skin in the /Windows folder with the 3rd party file explorer.
A pop-up will appear asking you to overwrite the original file. Overwrite the file.
You will also probably get a system warning about replacing a system file. This can be ignored.
Please note, as stated above, that this only works on Windows Mobile 5 devices.

Renaming Mfc80u.dll

Hey all, i have a problem with viewing images in "pictures & videos" after installing a dialer skin.
I've heard that i need to rename Mfc80u.dll with total commander for it to work.
I went into the total commander & tried setting the file off of read only. It wouldn't change. I tried renaming it. It wouldnt change. I even tried deleting & moving the file. Nothing worked.
Does anyone have a solution to this? I'm not a big fan of losing everything & hard resetting.
Thanks in advance!

Try Resco File Explorer, that should work!

I cant even find the file under resco. However, if i go back with total commander, the file is there.

Rasco will hide all *.dll extension files by default. go into file/options/view and uncheck the hide option to see this file.

So you're saying that Resco File Explorer can change the read only flag on a file so it can be writable Molski ??

Most odd. I've always been able to use File Explorer, turn on "Show all files" and delete the file (you don't need it) without changing any attributes.
Bear in mind that there are TWO files very similarly named and the second one is untouchable ... luckily it's NOT the one to delete or rename

Access the settings icons in file explorer

I want to be able to access the icons in the settings folder like i can in the programs listing under windows\startmenu\programs - within file explorer - so can this be done - is there a reg hack or another better file explorer program??

Have you tried virtual explorer?

Slow File Explorer

Hi All,
Last week i made a networkconnection to a NAS in my local network via Wifi.
It all worked fine on my HD2.
but now when i open the File Explorer it is really slow. (even Total Commander is slow)
WiFi is turned off.
Looks like there is some cache left on the phone or something.. when the explorer is open i get a list of the directories on the device, but when i scroll the interface is hanging for a while. this will repeat continuesly.
is there a way to clean up some old stuff?
i did do a search in the registry via SKTools Registry Explorer to search for any left items about the networkdrive, but could not find something.
Does anyone reconize this issue and do have a fix for it?
It drives me crazy when i could not get into the file explorer anymore.

its more likely that your file man is trying to remap the networkmap and failing.
not sure how you go about sorting it, i only ever use resco, but try deleting the share if its still showing in your network list on the phone.

maybe it will help..
in the file explorer try to change the "sorting by" files to name
when i had "sorting by" type the explorer was very slow

Update:
I experienced that when i open the file explorer and browsing on root the ' My Device' is just slow and hangs continuesly, when i browse to various directories or storagecard it is working fine.
so should be an old reference to the networkmapping.
But don't know how to delete, because is not visible in the file explorer
checked registrypath: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ File Explorer \
to see if there was a MRU pointed to the networkpath but nothing interesting to see

Solved !!
I used SKTools to search for broken links (search and remove or repair broken links).
There was a file called: \config.lnk which pointed to the path of the networkmapping.
does someone know how the config-file works?

fixed.
