System32 folder on laptop opening. - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

When I plug my phone into my laptop it immediately opens up my system32 folder in Vista. Anyone else have this issue or is it normal?

I had the same problem and a search found the answer. It's in the registry on your PC somewhere. There's a setting about wehat the PC does when it detects a connection through ActiveSync (and another action for disconnecting). You have to delete those keys.
The Registry Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnConnect]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnDisconnect]
I deleted those keys and it stopped happening. I think something corrupts them. They re-appear later but without the problem.
Hope that helps.

Thanks man, fixed my problem

How to access the registry ?

Hello,
When starting my 9090 I get a message "Impossible to find SmartFilter.exe check the file or the access path..." and the Pocket remains stuck for a while.
I suppose the uninstall process of the trial version of this programm did'nt run complete, and left an entry somewhere.
Searching for 'smartfilter' doens'nt give any result.
Where to search for autorun/autoload folder or key in the registry ?
Thanks for any help.

Go to \windows\startup\ and delete the shortcut for that program. I'm not sure that's your problem, but it sounds like it to me.
If not, then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7136&highlight=regedit
or search around. I know there are two versions floating on this board. I think the previous is the one I use/prefer. Also, I've been told that when connected via activesync, you can use windows regedit to access your device???? Not sure though.
Good luck, and if you muss up your device, it's NOT MY FAULT!!!!
No way :-/
Thanks, but it's a glue... :?
Neither Windows/startup nore deleting entries of NOVOSEC/Smartfilter helped.
I'm going to reinstall the trial version, and uninstall again :twisted:

Gone !

Hi,
Just installed the final of the WMDC and it works.
Here's the problem (ofcourse, there always is a problem ) I had the beta 3 of the WMDC installed before, which held two partnerships of two different devices.
I didn't end these partnerships and I didn't uninstall the beta 3 before I installed the final version as provided in the link in the first post above.
Now the new WM Device Center is installed and none of the previous two partnerships is there. Not a big deal, just connect your device and set one up again. But then WMDC says that the device name I'd like to choose already exists and so can not be used. Same goes for the other device.
So, the partnerships are still there in a way, but I can't locate them and delete them. How can I bypass this situation and delete the old partnerships to start them from scratch again? I think it's a matter of (hidden) folders and files somewhere...
Thanks!!
I havent used WMDC, but in Activesync they are located under C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles.
Just delete the files/dir in there and try resyncing again.
I would imagine WMDC would have a similar sort of dir structure for profiles. I hope this helps you to find them.

Hi! Thanks for helping, but in Vista there's no more "Documents and Settings", but only "Users" and an entirely new folder structure. And I went through all the files and folder it contains, but nothing there. A search through the computer, looking for files containing the used device names didn't help either.
So here's what I did then: I just forced Vista to go "System Recovery" back to the point where the new WMDC was never installed. The old one (beta 3) was there again, just like it was never been overwritten. I could just start it and manage all the partnerships again, so I killed them all.
Then I reinstalled the new, final WMDC again and a succesfull partnership was soon to be made.
Hidden folders
Noticed some folders dissapeared also, Make sure that you unhide system files under folder options and you can see all folders in explorer

Error as soon as I power on my phone

As soon as I turn on my phone and the loading of t-mobile and MS 6.1 screen I get a BTTrayCE.exe error and says it's not a valid PPC application any clue how to solve it or get rid of it. Thanks
Most likely you've installed TomTom Navigator?
TomTom places new BT dlls under the windows folder.
You need to remove them.
They are:
\Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll
\Windows\BtCoreIf.dll
You can either rename them or remove them and then soft restart your Touch Pro 2 and everything will go back to normal.
There is no such file in my windows folder. Any idea?

Weird: connect brings up File Explorer

I connect my AT&T HTC TP2 to a Windows 7 laptop via ActiveSync. For about 3 days now, whenever I connect the phone, Windows File Explorer comes up, showing the Windows/System32 folder!
About the only thing I did during that time was install some themes stuff.
How can I sotp this? I seem to remember it happening a long time ago (XP? some old phone?) but I don't remember details.
Thanks!
I finally found the solution, I post the whole thing here in case others have the same problem (it was a bear finding this!):
Delete any keys found on your PC under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnConnect]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnDisconnect]
If you delete any, reboot. (Note, my PC did not have any keys here that needed to be deleted, only the default key was there)
Then go back to each of the above registry items and in the value name "Default" place a space in the value data. This finally worked for me and I did not have to reboot to see results.

[SOLVED] WinMo 6.5.X acting like 6.1 - cannot enter in menus

Help, I did something wrong and I sort of cant use the phone anymore.
I installed a topbar. Unluckly I didn't read the info about it, and that it was made for Win 6.1.
I cannot access the menu, thus I cant uninstall the topbar or hard-reset my phone. There's a key combinatiou that's "Camera + Send + Power Button" that resets it. Problem resides there; My cellphone have a touch sensistive Send button, and this instruction is for a similar phone which possess a hard Send button. I can still, however, make calls and answer, send SMS's and read emails and activate bluetooth or wifi, but I can't start any app (I cant open the menu) or use the Mobile Device Center to do anything through USB (I've set it to connect directly as USB Mode and not to ask), I'll look for a Bluetooth dongle today to try to connect it through bluetooth.
I'm desperate. This phone is brand new but I already have made esthetical and hardware changes, so I've voided the warranty. Also that's a China phone, even though this particular model is able to update the ROM, I don't have the original ROM or knowledge to backup the actual one.
Any help is accepted. If there's any trick to go into "Add/Remove programs" without accessing the menus or to use some software hack to hard reset it thru Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, I'll be glad to know. If that's for any usage, I have Total Commander installed on this phone and I know how to edit the registry, but I can't start it.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Brazil
Thanks in advance and I'm really counting on you guys.
I'll be awaiting for an answer.
P.S.: I've been thinking - I don't know - about installing SPB Shell with some Auto Installer by the Mobile Device Center (over bluetooth) and let it start automatically, and by there, uninstall the culprit. Fiddling around, I've learnt how to trick the Mobile Device Center to make it install any CAB automatically, as if I've ran an auto-installer. My question is: would SPB Shell start automatically?
P.P.S.: Everything is working if I find another way to start it. Just the "start menu" died.
P.P.P.S.: No, I can't buy another phone. It's expensive here.
You can try MyMobiler, a PPC controller running on PC.
OR Try to remove it in Mobile Device Center if you can connect to it.
I don't have Mobile Device Center, using ActiveSync in win Xp but I believe you can remove on your Pc the partnership with your phone so next connection will start a new partnership where you can change the settings which prevent you from connecting Usb normally. Once you are connected, copy the file attached to your device, then take blackppc's advice, install MyMobiler http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499344 and navigate to the file, execute and it will open settings where you'll find remove function.
I hope it helps
That's the problem, I can't connect it through USB to Mobile Device Center because I've set it to autostart as "pendrive" and not ask me about if I want it to start like this or in Mobile Device Center compatibility..
I'll buy a Bluetooth dongle in 5 minutes by now and I'll tell ya what happened
--
I.. er.. bought the dongle, but I cannot configure it. It cannot find any of my devices or enter the dongle's configuration area. It works well enough, though, on the store computer. I've tested thru 2 Windows 7 Computers and it gave me the same error.. gosh
As I said, I don't have Mobile Device Center but there must be a way to delete partnership with your device... Try this link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722321(WS.10).aspx or google these keywords "delete partnership Mobile Device Center" and see how.
Alright, I've managed to get the bluetooth dongle working (a Bluetooth service was disabled). Now I need to connect the phone to the Mobile Device Center. Problem is that I had connected it to MDC, but I had hard-reseted then, and seems like MDC finds the phone as a "new device", thus cannot connect over bluetooth. Can I force it to connect or something? I'm thinking that may be my only shot.
P.S.: I can access a sort of device explorer (when I put the USB cable in and out, it pops up a message asking if I want to see the Memory Card images, and then it opens a image viewer. I can delete folders from there, if that's of any use)

"On the mobile device:
If you have never attached your device to the computer using a USB cable, do so. After Windows Mobile Device Center starts, disconnect the device.
In ActiveSync, click or tap Menu, then click or tap Connect via Bluetooth."
I cant reach it
I've got an GREAT idea: I can, still, acess the image viewer. From there, I can copy and move folders around. So, all that I have to do is to create a folder in my memory card called "Start", with one shortcut inside, leading to the "Add/Remove programs" or "Hard Reset" program and copy it to the Windows folder. Then I restart the phone and it'll fire up the selected app. JOB DONE.
I only need to know the name of the app/parameters for Add/Remove programs or Hard Reset. Basing on what Windows is, it might be some "xxxx.cpl -command".
I leave this job for you guys, now I feel that I can still save my phone!!
I'll try link it to Total Commander first, before anything
P.S.: I've found the following string to invoke the "Add/Remove programs" for Windows Mobile 6.1
"#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23?\Windows\shell.dll,13"
Would it work for windows 6.5?
P.P.S.: Meh, I cant create fake shortcuts that leads to nowhere on the local computer. How can I do it?
What a relief, God truly knows. My method worked. I can invoke anything from the phone using a shortcut. I've used the following line for the shortcut:
"33#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,10"
It invoked the "Add/Remove programs"
Thanks for the help, I really felt you guys tried to help me
I never seen a case like mine, but who knows.
Here's what I did:
- Connected the USB Cable into the phone, and it started as a pendrive
- Created a folder inside the phone called "Start"
- Created a folder called DCIM and added some images in there
- Created a .lnk file using XXMKLINK (which makes links from anything I type)
- Copied the .lnk file to the "Start" folder
- Unplugged the USB. At this moment, a popup appeared on the screen "Do you want to view the images?" Press yes.
*If the above method doesn't work, you can try going into a SMS message, then click for "Insert a Picture". The same browser will open
- Go to the root of the SD Card, or anywhere the "Start" folder you've created is
- Press and hold it, select Copy
- Click on the left side button and select "Device"
- Go to Windows folder. It takes a while to open
- Copy your "Start" folder inside. Press Yes on any prompt
- Restart the phone.
Voilá! The app will be run on the next startup
I really hope to help someone with this trick, who knows more than it helped me.
The topic can be closed at any time.
