PHM Registry Editor will not install on my xdaiis

I've tried using the Desktop Installer, it loads MS Active Sync - looks good - but nothing appears in add/remove programs or on XDA
I tried a few others but don't know what to do with the CAB file
Has anyone with a zda2s made it work?
thanks

strange, use active sync to copy .cab file over into ur file explorer. then go to the file on ur device and tap it, a .cab for a pocket pc is the same kind of file as a .exe on a normal pc.

Default Application

Hi All,
I'm a bit miffed and stumped as to how to change the default .pdf reader from the crappy clearvue (included with the artemis) to the nicer and better Acrobat Reader.
Basically what I want to do is that when I click on a .pdf file, rather than opening clearvue it opens with Acrobat Reader.
Anyone knows a way on how to change the default application on Windows Mobile 5.0?? I already went through the registry but didn't find anything "obvious" in there and google throws nothing . Any help would be highly appreciated.
Cheers...

Get the demo version of resco explorer andthere you have the option to "open with" and then just like in windows you make it the default program..
hope this helps

Yups, the above method is what I have also used. It is just that the WM5 file explorer doesn't have this feature - "open with" (as is the same in Windows OS, or other OS). Also use Adobe Acrobat 2 as Clearvue PDF is simply awful and damn slow.

download total commander and change the file association by holding the stylus over a pdf file till you get the right click menu, then select properties then file associate, find adobe acrobat and select. that should sort your problem.

Thanks all, I am having issues with it though. After trying the total commander way, I tried to open a file and acrobat popped up a message "Could not open the file as it does not exist" wtf...
Anyone else had this prob?

i've now started using pocketxpdf which you can download from sourceforge. if you download this prog then go into options you can associate pdfs with xpdf.
go for it!
hope it helps,

Thanks I'll try it

2change fileassoc U can use sktools as well

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Save games will be tricky as they all are located in their own folder.
Documents are stored in \My Documents\
Pdf's are stored here \Applications\Data\BC4F319A-9A9A-DF11-A490-00237DE2DB9E\Data\IsolatedStore\
Copying them "easily" is not an easy task. For the pdf's I suggest you sideload adobe pdf reader app and than use wppowertools to connect to the iso storage of this GUID BC4F319A-9A9A-DF11-A490-00237DE2DB9E, now you will be able to see all pdf files and copy them easily to the pc. Alernatively if you own a samsung you can use WP7 Root Tools or DiagProvXML (which has built in copy pdf to office hub, from which you can email the pdf).
Docs can not be accessed and will need to be transfered trough skydrive or mail.

okay works good thanks

[Q] Colornote app notes to pc

I have the colornote app on my gs3 and regularly use this for notes. It automatically saves your notes to a backup file as a .dat file. This saves to my micro sd card; I have put these files on my Win7 pc yet nothing on my pc can open and view these files. I have tried notepad, wordpad, ms word, internet browsers, etc. When it opens in notepad it is just Chinese characters. I have tried opening the files in notepad and saving as a .doc or .txt and that doesn't work. I have scoured the internet and found no answers. I could easily copy and paste to my email, but I do not want my intellectual property out there (cautious privacy concerns).
So my question is, is there any way I can view these .dat files on my pc, or any way to get my notes on my pc in a different format that will be readable? And if there is no way to do this what other note apps work well that save your notes as a doc or txt?
Thanks for the input.
