Guys I know it was posted somewhere on here that you could create a shortcut to the default windows registry editor but I can't seem to find what directory it is in? I have searched and can't find any threads that detail this and can't find it in the windows or system directories (yes I am showing all files).
Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I am aware there is no 'built in' registry editor in windows mobile. There is one in desktop versions of windows like xp etc. There are plenty of free alternatives if you search around.
I am sure there was one on windows mobile or one that was free at least. There was a trial version of the resco explorer package that came with a registry editor but that was time bombed I believe (or was that just for the file explorer.exe)?
Any help on any free reg edit tools if the windows one isn't available?
by far the easiest and best way to edit the reg when at home is ceregistry editor which runs on the pc.
for free ones on the phone itself, people usually go for total commander.
Hi folks, I now recall which one I used (PHMregistry editor). So thanks for everyones comments. I like the thought of editing the registry from the PC so will give that a go also.
Once again many thanks.

Searched high and low on the forums and wiki, but can't find an answer. Which registry editor are people using?
Thanks,
Chris

For me am using Total Commander.
Not solely a registry editor, but allows access to registry to views keys etc. Also gives you ftp, enhancement to the file explorer and much more and above all that its free!!
BTW: Used to use PHM Registry editor but total commander replaced it as it was duplicating the same function.

phm.
it's my favourite price - free! :lol:
Good stuff, thank you both...

RESCO is your friend
Resco appears to be the best registry editor - or so the forums and reviews say. It certainly makes life easy for me. It also comes with a 31 day trial... so you can check it out
Make sure you get the WM5 one under Smartphones on their website though.. I think that the other ones have 14 day trials

Where can i find RESCO registry editor? Is it free?
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp#registry
not free -
my favorite is mobile registry editor.
i hate editing the reg through the phone. id rather do it from my laptop via cable or bluetooth.
second hiimcliff, but i use SOTI POCKET COMMANDER.. also OP, most cooked ROMS come with built in registry editors. i know my black majik came with one.
PHM
PHM Registry Editor is intuitive to me for regediting, so I continue to use it. Small, free, does registry backups, stores 'favorites', can directly copy key names to the clipboard, multi-pane display, and I've never had any problems with it.
I also have Total Commander installed and love it for file management, but I usually need to use both panes for file management and cant spare one for reg editing The ROM I burned came with TRE, but I removed it.
For some reason PHM doesn't install on my vista computer. Any ideas?
Tasco Registry editor is one of the best and is free.
It will also import reg files so customizations can be saved and restored without having to re-do them manually after hard resets
PHM will save reg files but will not restore them..
I use both PHM Registry Editor and Total Commander, but prefer PHM for it's simplicity.
@celicatoe46m3: PHM install's on the device not the PC.
Greetings,
I had some strange behaviour recently on my Wizard which after much analysis decided to try a hard reset. It worked like a charm and all is well now.
I had to re-install my programs and settings and I also understand that the registry gets returned to factory defaults.
This leads me to something I remember seeing for Windows XP which was a utility that compared reg keys, either using an original and current copy of the registry as a basis for comparison or a real-time utility that informed the user each time a key got changed.
I don't think the Wizard CPU could cope with the latter but a reg compare utility might be useful for future. Does anyone know of such a beast ? I did do some searching and checked the Wiki but couldn't find anything.
TIA,
Tony
I'm looking for the exact same thing. Certain apps change some settings after an install and I want to go into the registry and delete them.
Does anyone know of a good FREE app on the PC side to compare the contents of 2 txt files??
I found SPB Backup backs up the registry into a few text files (this is after you extract them from the backup).
I'm looking for something like this, but free : www.grigsoft.com/wincmp.htm
Personally, I use an XML query of he Reg CSP and then use an XML comparison tool (XML Notepad 2007) to look at whats changed.
I think you have a couple of decent options here... firstly, you could install PHM Registry Editor on the PPC, export the registry both before and after any changes you make. Then copy the exported files to the PC and check for changes using Windiff. This will tell u what has been added, changed or removed between the two files.
Alternatively, take a look at SKTracker (Google) - this app lets you take snapshots before and after, then compare (registry and file changes).
I've used both methods with success, see what you think.

I know this different from the topic a bit, but I was curious if you guys knew of a free registry cleanup app.
As we all know, a registry editor is pretty important when modding our devices. I personally hate doing registry edits on my wizard and it JUST SO HAPPENS that today while searching for a new registry editor (i lost my wizard in toronto a week ago and didnt have any software for it anymore!) i found one that works wonders and is based from a PC instead of the PPC. seems to work well for me. check it out! it is attached and it is freeware. it seems to work great with WM6 so i would say its safe to assume it will work with at the very least 5 also if not older versions of WM.
just thought id give back to the community since i have used this resource time and time again!
Total Commader and Task Manager, which come with many custom ROMs, already contained a full-featured registry editor with import/export functions, so why install another one?
this is not based from the PPC if you read my post. its much easier to navigate via your pc as i mentioned in my post.
Just use mymobiler. You can do EVERYTHING on your mobile from your desktop with that program. Then TotalCommander or another program can retain their value as multifunction programs capable of file management, text file editing, and registry editing.

personally as a geek myself, if there is an app that removes the actual interaction of the PPC and moves it into a native windows app id much rather use that. the problem with this app is it still mimics the physical interaction of the PPC. something the registry editor i posted above isnt doing. its mimicking regedit in windows but accesses your PPC.
just to prove my point here are two pics of examples.
I need to modify about 200 windows mobile 5 devices with a registry edit for my job.
(This is what I get for being the only person in the office familiar with WM)
What would be the easiest way to do something like this? Normally I use SD/MiniSD Cards to install apps on the various devices - it would be nice to be able to create a .cab that would modify the needed key, so that I wouldn't have to edit the registry manually on every device.
Suggestions?

Might want to browse that or message one of them. I know i read somewhere how to put reg edits in cab format, but i can't remember where i read that at.
WinCE Cab Manager. Awesome program. Used it to create a .cab that contains all my standard registry edits and a bunch of files that I like to use (themes and such). Allows me to customize any flashed ROM very quickly.
It isn't an inexpensive program (I think it was $100 or so), but worth it. You can't import registry edits into the trial version, but I believe you can manually enter registry edits.
If you struggle (and if the edit you need isn't something that is confidential to your company), I can throw it in a cab for you. PM me if I can assist.
Can somebody please help me with Registry Editor? I am using Romeos 1.9a and I need to add certain files in to the Windows folder using a Registry Editor. I have tried to use the included Total Commander registry editor but I am getting stuck as I do not see any option to import the DLLs I need or even to paste them manually
I am basically looking for a solution to be able to stream live tv programmes using winmo side which is a new service introduced by my service provider using 3G. I have downloaded and installed the HTC Streaming Media Cab but I also need to add some DLLs associated with the cab to be able to launch the streaming app. I simply do not know how to add the DLLs to the Windows folder using Registry Editor. The procedure and materials needed are explained in a different forum. See Post # 90 by Shahad.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=288857&page=9
This is of course for a different device but I believe similar steps should work with a liberated Shift as this is HTC's own streaming media app.
Somebody please help.....
Nevermind, will answer my own query. I managed to add the files using Total Commander Desktop together with Total Commander CE Plugin. But this adding the files caused the system to be unstable I had to re-install winmo. So this does not work. Just thought of posting this in case somebody reads the post and tries to get HTC Streaming Media app to work with the Shift.....
Closed as solved
