i am trying to copy/move file, it wont tell me" file cannot copy or move".. i heard that Vito Copypaste is a good program, when i try to download it, my device says ERROR.. Cannot be viewed on this device.. I am pretty sure i have the App unlock.. because i have google maps, total commander and so installed.. any suggestings?
my understanding is that vito is for copying and pasting text, not files.
use total commander to move files...
I have tried that already, its says, cannot move or copy file! so i dont know what else to do...
This may be a silly question, but is your device app unlocked? Vitocopy/paste works great on my Dash.
i would think so, since i have total commander, farcade demo, google maps.. I am also running WM6.. i have no other problems installing/downloading any other files!

When your device is still Application Locked, you can still install some apps and they would work, however, some apps wouldn't run, so the question is, did you app unlocked it or not?
yeah i did do app unlock.. just not sure why vito wont work for me....
If using vito copy/paste to paste from one program into another, I have found that you cannot paste into password fields -- whether in IE, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini. I'm guessing this is a security measure either imposed by Vito Copy/Paste, The OS, or the browsers. I don't know why it's any riskier to do it in WM than in a Windows, but whatever. That is a pain in the butt.
If you are unable to paste a file using Total Commander and your device is unlocked, it's possible that the file is in use by the OS, or maybe in ROM?

just to add..Vito Copy Paste App could only be used for texts only and only in edit mode. It would not work on files etc..
thanks for all the info.. i appreciate it! this is VERY HELPFUL... after all this hassle, i was playing with total commander and was able to move i needed to windows/folder.. i cant tell u why it worked, but it did! trying to get the fav5 program to come up on my homescreen..Thanks again
looking back at all the posts ...
it seems that people have been telling you that the program is specifically used for copy/paste TEXT ONLY !!!
yet you keep on indicating what you have been trying is to move/copy files !!
are you even reading the helpful inputs ???
roger that! well anyways, i have it all taken care of!
Hello. I installed Sprint's release of WM6.1. I have the HTC Vogue and I want to use Vista Cube2. I have successfully edited the Registry to make non-working icons point to the proper executable but I don't know what to point to for Settings and Programs. Those two icons give the "file cannot be opened... components cannot be found" error. The registry shows that they point to "\windows\htcsettings.exe" and "\windows\htcprograms.exe". Neither of those files appear in my windows directory. Can someone PLEASE take a moment to tell me to which executables the icons should be pointing? Without Settings and Programs working, I will have to go back to Sprint's Cube.
I just did a quick search for htcsettings.exe with resco explorer. that file isn't found on my device. hmm
I need a real GURU.
Thanks Dannysportbike. Apparently the programs that call Settings and Programs have a different name on some phones. The files htcsettings.exe and htcprograms.exe are not on my phone either. Does anyone know the alternate names for these programs or how I might figure out the names?

The files can be downloaded from HERE and dropped in the windows directory. Soft reset and they should work fine.

DUH! I should have thought of that sooner. Thanks much! Unfortunately there is still a problem with htcPrograms.exe. It will only run once. When I click on it a second time (even from the File Explorer), nothing happens. If I reboot it will work one time again. Any ideas?
Don't know about settings, and it sounds like you want the default Programs launcher, it's in the "\Windows" directory as "folderview.exe"

YOU ARE MY HERO! No one else seemed to have the answer for me. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Along my travels of reading thousands of posts in hundreds of threads I seem to remember reading about a tip to increase the viewable box size of SMS messages in touchflo.
Ive tried searching using all the keywords I can think of but have come up blank. I cant remeber if it was even in the Blackstone section.
Im using mun_rus's SMS zoom tool and if I get a large text message I cant always see it all.
Can anyone help please ?

U are using mine mod for diamond) Coz of bigger screen resolution u getting cut bottom I'll make such mod for HD also
Yep, your mod works good but as you said it cuts the bottom off.
Is it possible to make it remeber the zoom settings so they stick?
Also gona use your Background4alltabs if/when you fix it to work with analogue clocks (Cant give up my big Xperia clock).
In the \Windows folder, edit the file thread_sms.htm.
Look for a line that has the text Height=35. The 35 represents a height of 35 pixels.
You can increase the number as you like. For have three line the right value is 75.
how can you edit the thread_sms.htm file? I found it but doesnt give me the option to edit!
I tried looking for it connected through my laptop but Windows folder is hidden and no matter what I do i cant seem to find it!
copy to sd with your mobile file explorer, edit from sd with windows , copy it back
yea tried that but it wont let me copy it back to the Windows folder!
the file in the Windows folder wont allow me to delete it either! hmmmm
Ive copied it to the SD card and my laptop and unless Im blind there appears to be nothing in it.
The file size is 851 Bytes. Is that right ?
yea thats the file... i copied it onto my desktop, changed the file to open with Notepad and changed the height value to 75.
saved it, changed it back to open with IE then copied it back to SD then tried to replace the file with the existing one... but it wont allow me!
Same problem here, tried all ways. Installed Resco Explorer to get the result. SMS is now much more friendly, thanks for the tip lucarp78.
Hell yeah! Thanks for the tip, exactly what I wanted.
Tip: Use Total Commander and edit the file from the mobile!

When I copy it to my SD card with TC and open it, it opens in Opera and all I can see is a black bar across the top.
How did you edit it on your phone please?
What program did you use to edit it?
Thanks
The easiest way is to use Total Commander. Select properties for the file and remove the Read-Only check. Then edit the file as mentioned earlier and save it. Set the Read-Only property again and reset.
If you want to copy the file to your PC and edit it there, remember to remove the Read-Only property before you copy it back again (either using explorer, Resco Explorer or TotalCommander) otherwise you are not allowed to overwrite it. Hope this help.
Is there any chance someone would be kind enough to put up a copy of the thread-sms.htm file or cut & paste the contents in a thread.
I dont know how but Ive manage to mess mine up royally.
Thanks

I said I used Total Commander. Google it and download. Then look up where the file is in your windowsfolderand. Then you should manage the rest.

I have Total Comander already installed. When I asked how did you edit it, I mean what program as it opens auomatically with Opera and shows nothing. I managed to get it open once in Notes and edit the line but that didnt seem to work.
I went back to the windows folder and now it comes up with an error. When I look at the file on my works pc there is only about the first 6/7 lines in the file?

The clear up any confusion (because the previous guys who have posted haven't exactly been clear!)... if you simply "open" the file... by clicking or double clicking it... then it will simply "open" in a program designed to open that type of file.
As the file you're trying to edit is a webpage (.htm) then it will "open" in a program designed to "display" webpages... like Opera or IE!
You don't need to "open" the file.... you need to "edit" it.
In Total Commander, click the file once to highlight it, and then select "File" > "Edit" from the bottom menu of Total Commander.

If you've messed up your file... may I suggest you delete it from the Windows folder (using Total Commander).
It will look like it's doing something, but then the file will still be there... as when you delete a file that is originally stored in the ROM, it gets immediately replaced with the original from the ROM!
Then copy the file to your My Documents folder, click it to highlight it, click "File" > "Properties" from the bottom menu of Total Commander, and untick the "Read Only" attribute & click OK.
Edit as above, and click "File" > "Save".
Copy that file back to the Windows directory by clicking "File" > "Copy/Move", click "Tree", highlight "Windows", click "OK", click "Copy"... click "Overwrite" if prompted!
Thanks Sidepa, thats exactly what I wanted to know. Im still getting to grips with TC but its thanks to the help of this community im slowly learning.
After all that though, it still hasnt solved the problem of increasing the text box size. It may be a manilla file that needs editing in mode9 maybe. Hopefully mun_rus will come up with something as hes gona look at getting his diamond app to work on the HD.
Works for me in all input modes. Here is the modified file. Keep a copy of your original for safety then overwrite with this one.
So I have been installing apps left and right on my tp2 and uninstalling the majority and I think one of them messed up my "File Explorer" application. I have total commander on my phone as well (it came with it on it) and I have tried using it but its too complex for me and I can't figure out how to do some things on it. Should I just try to learn total commander or is there another program my fellow XDAers suggest? Thanks!

learn to use total commander. way better thn file explorer plus u can back up files with this. its not hard...juss lets u see way more. plus u can access the sacred "Registries" lol

...Or you could try to un-mess File Explorer. However, without a clue what exactly is messed up, noone will be able to help you with that.
Learn Total Commander. The only difference you need to worry about between File Explorer and TC is that to enter directories/execute programs you need to double tap, instead the single tap needed in File Explorer. That and to go to the parent directory, press the .. button at the top right of the screen.
Everything else is extra. TC is not hard to use, it just throws a lot of features at you that you do not need to use that often. But of course when you do need one of TC's many features they will be there for you.
And in fact...if you must....you can configure Total Commander to work with single taps like File Explorer. Assuming you have the latest version, goto the Show menu, then About/Settings, then click Single click start checkbox.
Yeah...what did you mess up anyway?
Did you mess up/have too many icons on screen and would like to sort them.in a better way other than windows/start menu/programs...?
anyway...try resco file explorer...or this lil puppy
Hi all
after some great advice from miami_son I have managed to sort out the mess that was my programs start up page.
sadly i also managed to delete the link file for the file explorer program
try as i might (and being very thick) i cant get it back.
can anyone point me in the direction (or tell me how to do it) to get the file link back
many thanks in advance
Use Total Commander to locate fexplore.exe in the \windows directory and select it with a single click. Click on file in lower left corner of Total Commander to bring up the menu. Click on >>>>>> and then click on create shortcut. Use the tree function to place the file in \windows\startmenu\programs.
Follow Kevin's instructions, works for any .exe file you want to create a shortcut for. But I would just skip creating one for that particular file. For one, Total Commander is a much better file explorer and can do more, and the OEM file explorer can cause you to delete things by accident if you aren't real careful.

I'm not sure, but I think that many programs use the file explorer to open files, rather than opening it themselves. Or at least this appears to be the case.

He didn't delete the program, just the shortcut for it. Once you have Total Commander installed you no longer need the stock shortcut. Like I said, TC is a much better file explorer.
You guys are just brilliant!!!!
Thanks so very much
was on the verge of hard resetting the device to start again!!
thanks again

its the shortcut icons in the programs page
it is accesse by the windows button

The shortcuts (*.lnk files) are located in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
The icons for the programs are located (normally) in \Windows.
thanks so how do i delete them?

Any file browser application on the device. File Explorer is on every ROM. You could even do it from your PC if you rather.
Install Total Commander. Unzip file, connect device to PC, run the EXE file.
thanks miami son
am i correct in thinking ( from the advice you gave me about a year ago) that you cant actually delete the program but you can delete the icon file (png?)
thanks all

It sounds like you're just trying to remove some links from your start menu. Is that correct? If it is, then just navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete the ones you don't want to appear in the Start Menu. In File Explorer, tap and hold on the one you want to delete until the menu pops up. Select delete and then tap yes. In Total Commander, do the exact same thing. I don't think I can explain that better without making a video of it.
well i would like to delete the progs but I was under the impression that they were installed on the rom and, as such, they cannot be deleted
(certainly when you delete the icon and then do a hard reset the icon re appears)
i will try to combine (my bad) memory and the instructions and see where i can go

You can't uninstall apps that are cooked into the ROM whether you use stock or custom ROMs. Deleting the link files as I've instructed will prevent them from showing up in your start menu. If you hard reset, they will be right back where they started.
Thanks for all your help guys
i can start to sort out the phone now
thanks again
