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 to unmap network drive?

Hi guys!
Playng with wifi connection I map some folder of my laptop on my Jamin and now I don't know how to unmap that drive...
With Resco Explorer I can unmap the path but on WM5 file explorer it still persist.
After soft reset it goes up again on Resco Explorer too...

I've been the same problem! please help me!

Hi,
Is it a folder or drive that you have mapped? I'm asking 'cos you said:
'I map some folder of my laptop on my Jamin......'
You also said:
'and now I don't know how to unmap that drive...'
Assuming that you meant having mapped your folder, but are now unable to un-map it, a walk-around is to:
a. copy the contents of the mapped folder onto a newly created folder and
b. delete the original mapped folder.
This will get rid of it.
If however, you meant that you are no longer able to un-map a drive, I take it that the drive is a virtual one. The walk-around is to:
delete the virtual drive so that it no longer exists.
Personally, I can't see why WM5 is not allowing you to un-map a folder or drive. Perhaps a dig into the registry would de-mistify it BUT please be most careful as to what you do if you follow this route.

File Explorer stuck in windows folder

Hi folks,
I currently have a problem with file explorer. I opened the windows folder and now I am stuck with the time icon, I wait...and I wait... and nothing happens it freezes the phone. After a soft reset and then going back into file explorer it goes back to the folder I last looked at which is the windows folder and freezes again.. so basically I can't use file explorer anymore? Any suggestions?
Steve

Is it locking up? or does it just need more time to load and display all the contents of \windows. Can you minimize file explorer by pressing the hang up key and work on something else, then go back later to file explorer. Are you able to change directories now?
Are you using a shortcut to launch file explorer
I always use Total commander for file management and \windows does take a while to load. It too tries to open the last used directory but if the folder is not available, eg network share, it defaults to the root directory after a warning. Not the answer to your problem, I know, but Total Commander is free and it is much better featured than the standard file explorer.

Try this on a Registry Editor:
HKLM - Software - Microsoft - File Explorer - LastLocation - 0 (zero)
Soft Reset then try to launch File Explorer again.

IT WILL TAKE A WHILE IF IT IS SET TO TYPE FOR SOME REASON when the files finally display chnage where it says type to date and it will display quicker next time

Thanks folks, got it working. I needed to change the registery values. The phone was freezing up and even after 10 minutes was still not showing the contents of the windows folder.
Da_mayhem just fyi I edited the localpath folder from '/windows' to '/' this seemed to solve the problem. The lastlocation value was already set to 0 for some reason?
Thanks for your help guys...

Nice to know it helped you somehow he he he

I seem to have the same Problem with my HTC Touch (non-branded, German Version). However I do not have the aforementioned registry values. There is no "file explorer" unter HKLM - Software - Microsoft.
Any Ideas on how to get my file explorer running again?
In the meantime I'm using TotalCommander, however TC doesn't support sending files via Bluetooth, or at least not that I know of. I can only send via Infrared, or am I missing something?

What is REGISTRY EDITOR? Please help me that! I m having the same problem on my XDA ORBIT ii

I tried this, but didn't have a "File Explorer" entry. So I created one and the LastLocation value as noted, but it still opens in the Windows folder and locks up. Any clues?

perhaps because that is usualy in HKCU not HKLM.

I know this is an old post...but after extensive searching and frustration...S.V.I fixed my issue. I just wanted to say thanks to S.V.I
I couldn't find file explorer and it was freezing...like S.V.I pointed out- it is HKCU and not HKLM.
I had done 2 hard resets...and removing "windows" from the path fixed it.
Thanks to all that posted solutions here on this great site!
Update:
Spoke to soon...I can't enter my Windows folder at all using file explorer- I could earlier. I can enter anywhere else...just not my Window folder...I can with Resco explorer. I have to apply S.V.I suggestion to stop it from freezing...but magically-"\windows" keeps re-appearing in my registry.
Update:
Found another solution that actually worked for me!
open File Explorer
Click on Menu>Sort> change it to Name

I think i know the solution
i too have experienced the same problem like this. but then this is what i do. and it's surprisingly works.
1) soft reset your phone
2) click on file explorer again
3) the loading symbol will always appear, but for now just let it be.
4) close the file explorer by tapping 'hang up' key/button. this will supposedly bring you back to home screen
5) wait for half an hour or longer
6) open file explorer
7) the windows folder loaded successfully

Typos
Ayobi's solution worked.
I have a HTC Diamond 2 WM6.5. File explorer froze as I sorted the files in the Windows folder. Exactly followed Ayobi's suggestion. Got out of the mess.
I won't visit Windows folder again!!!
Thanks Ayobi and others for their suggestions.
Jay.

This definitely worked - on a related note you can go into Registry Editor (HKCU - Software - Microsoft - File Explorer) and change the SortOrder value to anything but 2 (apparently 2 is for Type). Soft reset and reload the program, and it should load a lot faster.

I had same problem, because I tried to sort Windows folder by file Type. Oops.
I know it's an old post, but here's my two cents (because this thread guided me to a slightly modified resolution.)
My resolution on Tilt2 TP2 WinMo 6.5 was found here:
HKCU - Software - Microsoft - File Explorer - LastLocation - 0 (zero)
HKCU - Software - Microsoft - File Explorer - LastPath - \ (slash)
HKCU - Software - Microsoft - File Explorer - SortOrder - 1
That did the trick for me. Was able to open File Explorer. Strangely, it took me to the Windows folder again; but didn't hang this time. Maybe because I skipped soft reset (so maybe registry change may not have taken effect entirely?)

htc s 310 registry change

I changed registry file per exe file.Word "exefile" I changed with "jpgpicture".My telefone now is blocked !Active sync no work! How change again registry?
Thanks! My telephone is htc s 310.

Why did you do this???
If activesync is not working (did you try soft reset?) you must have changed more than just a file reference.
In any case you can try this:
Download PHM Registry Editor as cab installation
Copy to SD/mini/micro using card reader.
Install to device and use the program to change registry back.
If tis does not work your only choice is hard reset but you will loose all your data.

I have install regedit in my mobile.
I did this because not could download file with extension wich not have program for open this,
For example... no could download file zip if not have unzip program install in my mobile!
How do soft reset? Because when push button(taste) frontale for shown my mobile show:
"There is no application associated with "fexplore".Run the application first and then open this file inside the application"
Or when push Start taste shown:
"There is no application associated with "appman".Run the application first and then open this file inside the application"
Or when push button for camera,mobile shown:
"There is no application associated with "Camera".Run the application first and then open this file inside the application"
And sometimes shown "Cannot execute repplog.exe"
Thanks and forgive for my bad language!

Again thanks!

There should be a hardware button combination to preform hard reset.
Unfortunately I don't know what it is for your device. I recommend you check the manual or look in the WiKi.

Make sure you repost your q to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=341 . I'm not moving the thread because there may be other S310 users lurking here too.

Mortscript....duh !!

Hi All
I'm sure someone will be able to tell me what I am doing wrong
I have loaded Mortscript on to my E650 and have copied a script from this site and saved it as wireless.mscr
When I run the file from Windows explorer - it opens the file in Word on my E650 and does nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Uninstall Mortscript and then reinstall it. I guess it's a matter of file association in the registry.

mortscript
Thanks....have tried that and it still does not work.
Any other ideas?

You must run once the mortscript's executable to create the associations with the mscr files.

yep, ran the yellow file that was located in the \program files\mortscript folder. It gave me a message to say the file associations has been made yet the docs still open in Word !!
AAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!

Try deleting the key at HKCR\.mscr...then opening mortscript.exe Then try to open your script. It deletes the file assc.

Thanks...where would I find the HKCR\.mscr Does that involve editing the registry as have never done it before

Yes this is a registry key. You will need a registry editor Total commander has a free one. Then just navigate to HKey_Classes_Root(hkcr) and locate the folder .mscr open it and delete the key in there..
In order to locate and edit the registry in total commander tap the / in the top right corner of the screen right next to the .. Then double tap on the \\ then double tap on Registry then HKCR then .mscr and delete the key labeled default ,or you could just double tap on it and then in the box provided type MortScript

key
Thanks,
have done as suggested, removed the keys, have removed and reloaded Mortscript. Rebooted phone....and they still open with Word Mobile !!!
Jeez - can it be so hard !!!

When you open that key what does it say.... when you open word go to menu and options and in display....click on word files, i dont think that will work but its worth a try

Hi, Thanks for your help so far
My word seems to be an editor only - as dont have any options to select.

mort
hi
Am getting somewhere now...turns out the file was named wireless.mscr.txt so have edited it to reflect the proper extension. Will try again now
Thanks again

well that makes a lot more sense...since the actual ext that you are opening is a txt. just drop the .txt

It's probably far more simple: You script has the wrong extension. It must be .mscr, not .psw, .doc or .txt. The default Explorer hides the extension, so your file's pobably named "somescript.mscr.psw" (or *.doc) but is shown only as "somescript.mscr". Use an explorer replacement like Total Commander or Resco, or the desktop's Explorer ("My mobile device") with "Hide extension for known documents" disabled in the options, and you'll see the wrong extension.
