Settings\Connections\USB to PC reg key affected ?

Hi guys!
I cannot enter the menu Settings\Connections\USB to PC , it simple do nothing. (i think it stop working after trying a SD to DISKMODE soft)
Can someone tell me what registry keys it use and modify ?
The only way to make it working again is a HARDRESET but i got too much software already instaled and backups carry the error that dont let me enter the menu.

Give the following a try. Dunno if it will be sufficient or working at all. (Make a backup before doing so).
Hope others will also post their findings.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\70]
"Key"="\\Drivers\\USB\\FunctionDrivers\\Serial_Class"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm]
"Cnct"="`USB Default"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers]
"DefaultClientDriver"="Serial_Class"

remove the space from Serial_Cla ss

Mine stopped opening a couple of days back. I wonder if we both carried out some identical activity that can be pinned down (not the above you suggested - does not apply to me). I had to hard reset 3 days ago and over past two days I've been reinstalling apps along with SKtools new app for me. Also been having problems not experienced before with Active sync wanting to set up new relationship on virtually every connection.
Anyway you try Menneisyys suggestion and I'll await your results. If evrything goes kaput I'll know not to bother.

GREATTTTTTTTTTT Menneisyys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thankyou very much!
Changing to this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm]
"Cnct"="`USB Default"
make it work again! It was set to "`USB" only

it stop working again... this time I cannot make it work again and I cant pinpoint where is the trouble.

Missing registry section

Hey everyone,
Been reading a lot of the threads here but this is my first post here on the forums.
I deleted a registry section by accident (following an incorrect guide) and was hoping someone could post the data I need to restore it.
The section I need is:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/QuickDial
The phone still works, so it's not a highly critical issue, but I'd like to get it back because I don't know what those keys controlled.
Thanks a lot guys!

If I remember correctly you can do a hard reset and it should come back. If it doesn't, post again and i will back up that section and post it.

I'm running a clean wm 6.1 ROM so I hope this has all then entries you need. If it doesn't work, just delete it again.
Rename it from QuickDial.reg.txt to QuickDial.reg before you import.

Thank you very much.
Yea, I was hoping to avoid doing a hard reset (especially since I haven't noticed anything wrong because of this missing entry).
Again, thank you very much!

stock Registry key needed

I'm an idiot and have deleted a key from my registry when I meant to delete a sub-key.
I am looking to recreate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items
preferebaly from a stock 1.14 ROM without anything added. However, if anyone can export the key from a stock ROM even with their other TODAY screen plugins added, I can edit it down.
I would rather not do a hard reset to reinstall this if I can help it as I have too many other things set up.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

hope this helps
cheers

You are a star! Thank you very much indeed.

Hard-reset on wm2003

Hi there,
I'm having difficulty with a Symbol MC5040 running windows mobile 2003. It's hard-reset procedure will actually make everything worse, it's supposed to uninstall and reinstall some programs, setup some configuration, but some parts will fail and it will configure more than it should... I would like to learn how the hard-reset is done, so i can "master" the process, find out why it's doing this and fix it.
Can anyone point me to the right documentation? My google searches are flooded with the wrong results...
Thanks,
Simon

There is Clear storage item in settings.

And what does it do?
I'd like to modify the hard-reset process, how's that going to help?
I really appreciate your reply and I'll look for more information on it, but can you elaborate? Thanks!

Ok I read some, and it seems clearly unclear what it does exactly, compared to the hard-reset. I would think they are the same... but this still doesn't help me.
I know how to do the hard-reset, I'm doing it on a dozen different devices every day, but it helps a bit and also make things worse... something is wrong with it. It needs to be reconfigured.
I've read somewhere the hard-reset will reset everything to factory default and then add the OEM customization... I think this is where I need to look, but I couldn't find much valid info on that...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

You're not going to be able to modify the hard reset/cold boot. That's all configured in the rom. You'd need to re-cook and flash the rom to modify how things boot up. I have a 2003 device, but it didn't have a customization step after the welcome screens. All you could really do is skip customization (if it occurs) by soft resetting after going through all the welcome stuff.
