deleting files from windows folder (ROM) how to?

Hi all,
once i had proof how much MB the windows folder swallows, i wants to delete some unused files from it.
i.e. some sample movies i don't need....
BUT i cant if they are in ROM (TotalCommander>File Properties>"inRom" is set)
Is there a chance to dump them?

why?
the files in windows dir are in the part of the ROM! not ram
that you cant access apart from when you flash a rom on the device
if you could delete it it would not give you any more ram
or any more storage what so ever
it's kinda like trying to remove parts of ones pc's bios really
it dont serve any purpos

ah ok, thanks
i had fantasies about getting more storage memory
ok...

I wish to upgrade the file Sim_Mgr.exe with a new version but when I try to overwrite it in windows AKU 3.2 directory, it is locked.
How can I do it?

Try copying the file using Windows via Active Sync rather than directly on the device.

How to delete/modify a wm5/wm6 windows rom file ?

Hi guys,
I'd like to modify a file from the windows folder.
I tried with TotalCommander and as the file is on the ROM, it says unable to delete/replace file
Is there a way to modify or replace this file ? I heard about making a cab file to replace the file but some help would be great
Thanks for your help

There is no way to delete or modify these files.
What you can do is copy your own file with the same name over it. The copy will actually reside in your storage memory and the system will use it until deleted or until you hard reset.
Note that if you want to replace system files on WM 5 / 6 you will need to sign them.
I think it would be better if you tell us what exactly you are trying to do as there may be a simpler way or an existing solution.

It's solved I tried with another rom and it works, I can replace the file.

run an exe/msi file from sd card

hello guys! do you have any idea on how to run .exe/.msi files using an sd card? i cant synchronize my ba for the reason that i still dont have a usb cable for it. i do update my ba using cab files only.
i have many useful utilities but some of them are in exe format. how will i be able to run these files on my sd card?

AFAIK msi files are exclusively for the pc, if a mobile app is provided as a msi file, it needs to be installed through activesync or wmdc.
exe files are executables for windows pcs and windows phones, but if a program comes in a single exe file, it looks like a pc setup as well. but you can try copying it to the sd card and simply click it in the file explorer. if you get an error message, it is a pc program.
what you can do, is install activesync or wmdc (depending on your desktop os) on your pc and install the apps you want, on your pc. normally that would install them, the next time you connect to your cradle/cable. since you don't have one, you should track down the cab files. on windows 7 they are located somewhere in c:\windows\windowsmobile\. i believe on xp it would be program files\active sync\
usually those installer routines extract a cab file in one of those paths and copy it to the device to be installed then.
also, if you don't have the possibility to sync, you should make regular backups of your pim data, best done with:
dotFred's PimBackup V2.8 for WM5 and above Download (Mirror)

thanks sir. that would probably help me installing those exe files.
i really have a hard time maintaining ang pimping my ba without the usb cable. still waiting for my cable to arrive here.
but then again, thank you for the information you have shared with me sir..

This had been asked and answered so many times........ Why yet another thread. .... It's a Android 4.4.2 issue.
Choices:
1a. Root your device: and install one of the sdcard kitkat fixes from Google Play Store or mod system file yourself.
1b. Root and install ROM with inbuilt fix
2. Transfer to internal storage, then manually move from internal to external sdcard with the STOCK file manager
3. Live with it until Android update to 4.4.3 + is released, whenever (if ever) that happens. ..
