Use resco explorer. U can put a password on any folder u want.
I want to replace some of the graphics used by HTC Home. When I try to store my new files in the /Windows directory with the same name as the existing files, the system tells me I don't have permissions to write over a read-only file.
I cannot disable the read-only flag, and I read this forum and all others in XDA-developers before giving up.
Can anyone tell me how to change permissions?
Thanks,
George

you simply press and hold the file until the options appear in the taskbar, then you can choose open with then you specify which program you are going to open and re-writing the file you mean
Does anyone know how to stop the Airtime Provider from installing a link in my Windows/Start menu/Programs folder so that a widget appears on my Programs screen? If I delete it, it re-appears. Thank you.

You can't actually remove the program, but you can unlock the shortcuts you see so you can delete them (and they'll stay deleted). It involves some registry edits, but I've attached a .cab that should do that for you. Copy it to your phone (I suggest to the storage card), and run the .cab from there. It will make the reg changes for you, and then you should be able to go to start-programs and delete the shortcuts to whichever of the carrier-provided apps you don't want to use.

Thanks for this.
Actually I am using an unlocked GSM phone in India and the Airtime Provider keeps installing a widget to access it's services. I don't think there's any program there. I CAN already delete the shortcut and it stays deleted until the next time I switch on the phone when the Airtime provider seems to reinstall it. So I'm wondering if this CAB is the answer or not.
Can you tell me what it does exactly as I don't want to change anything else. Does running this CAB give the option of what to uninstall? But as I say, I am already able to uninstall it. They keep reinstalling!
Hello people,
I have a HTC Desire, a friend of mine is interesting in getting one for himself, he has aksed me a question but I don't know the answer so I thought I would ask here.
Basically what we want to know is it possible to hide files on the HTC Desire. Can this be done with or without using an app, if it can be done without an app howso. If I need an app, which one. Not sure if he wants to lock/hide or files to show under a fake name, can this be done.
His concern is that becuase of the way Android is all files would show up if someone was to look up the stuff on the phone/SD card.
Not sure if this makes sense
Thanks in advance for any help.
download filebro lite
Thanks for the prompt reply. Does this hide files. I think my friend wants to be able to hide any file. Also prevent certain media files from showing open when you open the image viewer/music player/video player etc
What I do to keep Gallery from listing my pornstars photos from it is:
With file manager (any, there are a bunch in the market) I created a hidden directory (any file/folder starting with period is hidden, so I named the folder .porn) and the gallery cannot see it. If I want to see the content of that dir, I start the file manager and browse in that directory.

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

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?
sorry i know i am being thick

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
thanks all

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
