It's a link file. Just drop it into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\. Once you've done that, it will appear in your start menu.
Also, this is a Windows Mobile file, in case you weren't aware.

One more Question i cannot connect to youtube when i click the icon is loading after few second is show connection fails. Can anyone help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
A rar file is like a zip file, so you'll need to extract the cab from within it.
If you don't already have a rar-compatible piece of software on your PC, then WinRar and 7zip are your best bets.
If however you're looking to access the rar file on the phone itself, I'm not sure if that's possible. Sorry.
Ya i know. i have the winrar software but when i unzip it. it come out a folder and alot of file inside.

Question about icons in All programs

I copied a program in .exe extension to Device\Windows\Start menu\Programs
Now I want to delete that program. But I can't see it in that folder. I tried to use Resco Explorer and Windows Explorer to find it, but nothing works.
Can anybody help me?
PS: sorry for my bad English
In Resco File Explorer, go to "Options", then "General", then "Browser" tab. Uncheck everything there and see if you can see the file you're looking for.

using active sync i hit explore, dragged it all over to a folder.. on the phone i went to files explorer. hit _setup and opera loads up a blank white screen?
You unzipped the cab file. Transfer the cab file to your device and then select the cab file using the file manager on your device.
that was what was contained in the rar file i extracted..

You downloaded the "rar" file to your PC? Did the file actually have an .rar extension or was it just identified as a compressed file that winrar can open? Could it have been a .cab file, but perhaps you have "Hide extensions of known file types" enabled on your PC so it doesn't show as a .cab file?
Cab files look like compressed files (because they are) but they're not supposed to be extracted. It should be copied to your phone and then opened/run there to install.
I think that maybe what the OP did is installed winrar on the phone, and let it get set as the default handler for .cab files.
labelthief, if that's the case and you have winrar or another unzipping app on your phone, you'll either have to uninstall it or figure out how to get it to give up it's association with .cab files.
EDIT: after re-reading the first post 3-4 times, it seems possible that you just extracted the cab's contents on your pc first, then copied all those files to the phone, but I can't tell for sure. If that's the case, just do what MCBrian said and copy the single .cab file to your phone and click on it to run it from there.

Yeah, I assumed that's what he did -- he said he "dragged it all over to a folder on the phone", which means that he extracted it (creating "it all") on the PC first.
That's why I think it's not a good idea to have "Hide extensions for known file types" enabled on a PC. If you can see that a file ends in .cab or .exe then there's no confusion about what to do with it...even if winrar thinks it should handle it.

Agreed and agreed. My first read took that as "dragged it on over..." so...maybe more coffee on the weekends before posting, hmmm?
You're absolutely right about the file extensions too...I always set them to be be visible on ANY PC I work on, or even have to troubleshoot for others

Sure....what exact files are you downloading? You should be able to tell when you're downloading them that the extension is ".cab"...as long as that's the case, just put the .cab file on your phone and click it to run from there.

in other words. Don't unpack the "cab" files on your computer or phone... just transfer the entire "cab" package to your sd card or phone. Use file explorer (on your phone) to navigate where you have saved the cab files. Select the cab file and the installation will begin
aaand this too just for the noobness haha.. if you've d/l'd a .cab to your pc and have winrar installed on it.. winrar will show the .cab's icon as that little set of books like a .rar file.. they're both archives, but the .cab doesn't need unpacking.. it's like a windows mobile version of a .exe for the pc.. just saying, i did that too at 1st.. a loong time ago.. haha
just copy and paste to your phone storage and you are all set
