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.
Here's what happened...
There was an icon inside my games folder that didnt do anything. Clicking it just gave me an error (forgot the error already). I took the risk and deleted the icon. After a reset, my Games folder was showing up as an ordinary folder (no card icon below it).
Can anyone copy their Games folder and attach to this post??? Or maybe just give me the solution...

maybe that's a glitch in the system files... why don't you just hard reset your phone? back up your contacts and calendar of course..
Attached is the file you have deleted. This file is the icon for the Games folder (it's actually a shortcut file). You can customize the icon of any folder by creating a file named "icon.lnk" with a content similar below:
1#ceshell.dll,-162
Using a 3rd party File Explorer (e.g. Resco), you will be able to see this file. Using the defaul File Explorer, you will only be able to see this file when you turn on "View All Files" option (tap and hold on any open area of the default File Explorer and this option will be shown on the context menu).
In my experience, this icon appears inside the Games folder when I go through Start -> Programs -> Games when the "View All Files" option is turned on. Try turning it off and this icon file disappears.
Have fun,

Marc,
It would take too long to restore all my applications and settings if i Hard Reset.
File didnt work. Placed it inside the Games folder and reset my device. Have you had experience restoring any of these icon files?
~ishtangli
Nope, didn't have such problem. I also deleted that icon.lnk in the Games folder before thinking that it was installed wrongfully by some of the 3rd party apps... to my surprise, the Games folder was reduced to an ordinary folder icon when I go to the Programs menu. So what I did was got that file from one of my colleagues, copied it to my device and tried to solve the issue of hiding that icon file. Below are the current screen shots from my pocket pc... hope it helps...
ishtangli, my ROM is still the stock one: 1.66 WWE... so am not sure if the functionality was changed in other ROM upgrades (1.72, WM2003SE) =)
that's a very possible suggestion! i think the functionality wouldnt change in other rom versions.. i'd say go with the RESCO solution
Maybe some kind soul could post their entire games folder...
~ishtangli
Here it is...
still didnt work. hmmm.... seems kinda simple but it just wont work. WM2003SE thing?!?! Whatever it is, im not hard resetting my device just to get some damn icon back. Thanks guys! If you find any solution, post it here aite...

Games Icon
Try this.
Download, unzip and copy the icon.lnk file within to the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games folder.
It is a shortcut to target the shell *.dll file that contains the icon that is displayed for the games folder: shellres.dll,-8229
So that must be the difference, the link to the icon file...
from
1#ceshell.dll,-162 (ROM1.66)
to
shellres.dll,-8229 (WM2003SE)...
Yeah

Hi,
This question must have a very small answer, that I’m missing:
- How can we remove an icon from Programs folder, if no longer needed?
This is how I got the icon:
1. Installed an application (let's call it "Xpto")
2. Got “Xpto” icon and “Xpto (2)” icon in Start > Programs
3. Since I whant just ONE icon...
4. ... tried to uninstalled the Xpto program and...
5. ... the “Xpto (2)” remains there!
Any ideas on how to get rid of this icon?
Thank You.
Just delete the shortcut in /windows/start menu/programs using File Explorer, or Explore in Activesync.
Coming from a magician, i have problems editing the start menu of my tytn...
Plz can you give me the key/keys to unlock (and move/delete) the links into start menu & programs folder?
thnx!
Just use the File Manager to cut and paste, or use the "explore" function of Activesync and do the same on the PC.

some default start menu shortcut cannot be deleted from pc (using activesync) as there are with read only attributes. just copy all the shortcuts to pc first, then delete all the
shortcuts from ppc using file explorer or totalcmd or any file explorer. then u can rearrange them back from pc and just copy back to pda.

Hello,
I am using Manilla 2d on my HTC Touch. Before using it I had standart HTC HOme. It had good button that changed the brightness of display (as its shown in 1st image) . Is it possible to put such button in programs tab of Manilla? (I can change the brightness , but it takes time to go to Settings->System> and change there the brightness. )
Thanks for Help
Use a program like Resco Explorer (Or if connected PC, browse your \Windows folder from there), go to your Windows folder and copy the backlight.exe file, then go into \windows\Start Menu\Programs, and paste a shortcut there. It'll then show up in the list of programs to add to the Manilla Programs tab.
I don't think there's a way to add changing the brightness in one touch to M2D programs tab, but it's fine for me at least.
Thanks for Help
hmm. there is another problem that i cannot find \windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
I have sprite explorer on my pc and it shows in my backup file that Start menu\Programs is in folder System Settings. but i cant find it on my htc
Odd. Try clicking menu then tick "Show All Files", but even when you do that, you can't paste a shortcut into there using the normal File Explorer. You probably could copy the exe file there, but I hadn't tried that. That's why I say to try Resco Explorer on the HTC.
Finally everything works. direct link do Backlight. Thanx a lot
finding backlight.exe
hi,
thanks for the tip, but i can't find backlight.exe, only backlight.dll
any help much appreciated.
