i accidentaly associated my mp3 and was files in the core player now all my files just have a windows start icon next to them andare only openable in core player. when i click on the file in file explorer it says there is no program assocaited with this file. Any ideas? Thanks.
In general:
Open coreplayer -> Settings -> File Associations and uncheck all the file-types you don't want to be handled by coreplayer. After applying the changes you made (OK pressed) soft-reset device.
If this doesn't work:
In registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT search for key .mp3 and get value of Default, probably audiofile. Now in registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT search for key audiofile and correct there in all its subkeys the exename to your needs.
Same procedure for .was. Don't forget to soft-reset device afterwards.
thanks. What do i use to edit the registry. I havent done too much of that.
My favorite is Win32 freeware CeRegEditor. Of course this requires you can establish an ActiveSync connection between your Windows PC and your mobile device.
If you are not comfortable with registry, you can download this little freeware :
badschwii MyExtensions :

Just copy it to your storage card, and execute it... You'll be able to change File Extension...

Isthere a utility to change file associations?
In particular, how can I get clicking a .url extension to open Opera 8.5 inplace of PIE?
Use Resci File Explorer.... :lol:
Or gsfinder.
Or the registry - CLSID section.

Tillanosoft Pocket Tweak can allocate file extensions,
It is a small program and freeware, enables you to edit registry etc with file extension allocation as well.

Please specify the full path (HK......\...).
My problem is to show the file extensions, by now my JJ only show the file name with a (useless) icon on the left.
Is there a registry (CLSID or some other) to activate the extensions, without installing a third-party software (Resco explorer, etc.)
Thank you.

Not sure about the earlier roms, but in the latest rom (Ivan...etc), you can click the file and select properties. Under properties, you can select "Associate" to link your file to specific programs.
Hi,
i want to install the programs to a directory on the mmc card.
But if i do so, it installs in the root.
Now, thats not looking nice, and its hard to find anything there then.
I want create a directory for games and programms on the card.
How can i do that?
I can only choose between, Memory Card, Storage and Main Memory.
And that sucks!
Maybe u can user WinCE CAB Manager and edit the *.cab installation directory to any directory u prefer.
You can use the freeware CabInstall and install program directly from the SD.
Yes, but on the on hand this would be a lot of work, changing every single files directory in the cab and on the other hand it wouldn´t work out with Progs, that have an exe intallation, like the game AoE.
Thos Progs, first install on the PC and then on the PPC, and there are no editable CABs at all.
I thougt about changing the installation interface inactive sync , but i´m not a coder.
But maybe, there is somebody out there, who had the same idea like me and realised it already.
The Best solution ever: have a look at the attached files, open the TXT file first (the instructions)
You will not need any additional Software (except e Regestry editor like PHM Regedit), just follow the instructions and use the attached files.
Workes great I am having this now for 4 months!
if you install the programmes to the SD/MMC card, and they make their own folder, put the SD/MM card into a card reader on the pc and select the entire folder as hidden. this means that the programme still works, but does not show up when you explore the card. this does not work if u are using your phone as a card reader.
Sorry DerliebeWolf, The BEST solution is the follow (Tested on WM2003Se):
- Download a registry editor 4 Ur PPC
- Open AskDir_ON.reg with the program
- Reset your PPC
manually:
- Go to \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskDest
- Change DWORD value (dec) from 0 to 1
- Reset your PPC
If you install a cab file or an exe file from the pc (that copy the cab into your ppc and then execute it), Windows Mobile will ask you in wich folder you want to install the sw.
Note that you can have problems with some applications (because they're not installed in their own directory)
Check out Nonentity's File System Tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...order=asc&highlight=file+system+tweak&start=0
Cabinstaller is the best and easy software i could recommend for this. Run the cab installer software once and set it to run for all installations, the whenever u try to install a cab file, it will prompt you for the path of installation. It also has an option to disable deleting of cab file after installation. Do you want anything more than this? and to the max, it is free ware! Its easy to get, if you can't find,I have it in my site' software section. www.cartystudios.com
oh yes, i've forget that cabinstall associes .cab files to it (and then, when you execute an exe from the pc, in the ppc will be opened always with cabinstall in auto)
They're the 2 Best Solutions
Guys, great site, especially now since I've got my vario II .
I could not find anything on site about it. I installed different media player on Vario II, I didn't like so deleted it later. Now when I click on *.mp3 file it says "there is no application associated with *.mp3", but if I load this file from Windows Media player, then it plays. Does anyone know how I can change to the way it was before. Hard reset does not help... strange, but when I do hard reset it does not remove all the programms that I installed on Vario II. Thanks.
Install Total Commander on your device. Then, open it up and find an MP3 file in the (total commander) explorer window... Shift-tap, and hit Properties. Go to the Associate tab, and if the filetype is associated correctly, it should read .mp3 -> MP3File. If you hit the Associate button underneath, you can open up the advanced parameters for associating the file.
The correct settings (well, the default settings anyway) are:
Command:
wmplayer.exe
Parameter:
"%1"
Icon file:
wmplayer.exe
Index:
-2002
You can also scroll through the list of icons contained in the .exe once you choose the file. You can also hit the [>>] buttons next to the Command and Icon file boxes to choose the application file for the Command and Icon file respectively... You might think "wtf?" but as soon as you follow the steps above in Total Commander, you'll understand what I'm on about.
Christopherwoods, many thanks for this.
I downloaded Total commander 2.0, but this version does not have Associate function. Could any one advise the version that has it or possible help with the link where it can be taken.
Thanks.
Just an update on the issue. If someone has similar problem Total Commander 2.5 has the Associate Tab to change atributes of files. So *.mp3 files are recognised correctly now.
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!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!
