On windows mobile you could change the default labels.... Or at least the numbering. Can we do that on sense?
I think you might need to explain what you are trying to accomplish a little more in depth (picutres, links...)
Instead of img0001 make it use date... 20110607 or make default numbering start at img1001... Windows mobile is simple registry edit

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.

Thanx. I have both....I will give them a try.

I know this different from the topic a bit, but I was curious if you guys knew of a free registry cleanup app.
Hi,
I am using XML to provision and configure my PDA with settings and I have a couple of questions for anyone who has done this before. I have some settings working so I got cocky and thought I could do some more but I now need a little help with this...
Needless to say I am very grateful for any help/advice I can get on these...
1. Using XML I want to be able to delete unhelpful registry entries such as today items
2. I would also like to be able to set the following values in seconds:
BattSuspendTimeout
ACSuspendTimeout
3. I would like to be able to increase my Screen\Text Size up one level from the default
4. I would like to be able to creat shortcuts in the program menu for Office via the XML/CPF route but do not know the correct syntax
Is there a good resource for making these changes? I have serahced Google and come across various MS Visual Studio elements but not much for the XML, MakeCab, CPF route.
All the best, and thank you for anyone who can help me,
Sam.

The best place to look is the MSDN books.
If you do a search of XML syntax it has all the options.
hi,
just wondering if there is such a thing that allows u to edit and change settings
within android like u can in windows through registry settings etc...
cheers
android doesn't work like windows. Linux vs Windows. So I doubt it. Root your phone and have a look around the directories. All linux stuff are like "text" based so just look for the config text files change stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi!
Are there any working registry editors for LG phones?
I've tried Schaps Registry Editor but it just don't cut it (won't save changes to values).
Only way I manage to actually make lasting changes in registry is through MFG, but it's a really cumbersome way since you have to write every single key and value. I'd like a more graphical way of doing it.
I'd love to find something that works on my LG Optimus 7.
TIA

The point of MFG app registry editor is that the on-phone one, no matter how spartan and rigorous, has full read/write access to the registry, while all other available graphical options are restricted to read only in many device-related cases.
Stick with MFG and you are far less likely to mess up the phone as well, as you will not accidentally delete a key.

It's very easy to mess upp your phone using MFG, try entering a value in controlpanel\themes\accentsdisplayname without matching entries in themes\0\accents and themes\1\accents
Trial and error and two factory resets later I now have the accent colours I want.
There must be a way to incorporate MFG in a graphical shell in some way, guess I have to look into that myself as the regedit I've tried so far is rather pointless.

I am trying to learn the windows 8 registry on how it works and ways to modify it for future programming. Are their any books or references that can help me?

Modify the registry for programming? I dunno if I've misunderstood you but you do not program your computer via the registry
The windows registry is simply a giant file for storing settings at the end of the day, including quite a few under the hood ones you wouldnt normally touch.
The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that stores configuration settings and options on Microsoft Windows operating systems. It contains settings for low-level operating system components and for applications running on the platform that have opted to use the registry. The kernel, device drivers, services, SAM, user interface and third party applications can all make use of the registry. The registry also provides a means to access counters for profiling system performance.
When first introduced with Windows 3.1, the Windows registry's primary purpose was to store configuration information for COM-based components. With the introduction of Windows 95 and Windows NT, its use was extended to tidy up the profusion of per-program INI files that had previously been used to store configuration settings for Windows programs.[1][2] It is not a requirement for a Windows application to use the Windows Registry—for example, the .NET Framework applications use XML files for configuration, while portable applications usually keep their configuration data within files in the directory/folder where the application executable resides.

^First 2 paragraphs of wikipedia.
Actually that is a good starting point for some light reading.
Microsoft also have this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986 Links in that article will also take you through to further information.

The thought of somebody who knows so little about Windows as to not even know about MSDN writing anything that touches the registry is a bit scary, but whatever, it's your machine. All the APIs to access the registry are well-documented. If you meant from a Windows Store app, though, that's forbidden (not totally impossible, but very forbidden; your app will get rejected).
