Does anyone know a way to remap keyboard buttons?
I ask because I have Resco Explorer installed, but when I push the Fn key then the right arrow (which has a small blue folder on it) it launches the standard file explorer program. I would like to remap it to Resco Explorer - any ideas?
The button is hardcoded in ROM to launch a specific EXE file.
If you rename the File Explorer exe to something else (making note of the original name/location), you can then rename Resco's name to the original file explorer (and make sure it's in the same directory).

Hi goes to eleven (must watch Spinal Tap again!!)
Thanks for your reply - what a simple, yet excelent idea!
One small problem though... using Resco Explorer I found the program file, fexplore.exe in the Windows folder. When I tried to rename it I got a message: "Cannot rename file 'fexplore.exe' Access denied."
I tried to delete it and got the usual window about using the recycle bin or just getting rid of it, but the delete button was greyed out. I checked the exe files properties and found out why - it appears be in the ROM and as such I don't think I can rename, move or delete it?
(When I tried using File Explorer instead the Rename and Delete options were also greyed out).
Any ideas on how to get around this?
Cheers

I have an AT&T Tilt. I am a long time BBerry user who never once tweaked a device.
I would like to install several things including the HTC home and at some point TouchFlo.
Let's use my challenge with the HTC home files. Regardless of whether I use the 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 files I get the same result.
I copy the cab files to a folder. Browse to the folder using file explorer, click on the setup file and.....
it opens up in Internet Explorer, seems to hang for several minutes and then...nothing.
Am I literally this stupid?

Hi,
I copy the cab files to a folder. Browse to the folder using file explorer, click on the setup file and..... I assume you copied the cab files to your device?
it opens up in Internet Explorer, seems to hang for several minutes and then...nothing. I dont quite get what you mean by it opens up in Internet Explorer? Did you click on the cab file? It is not suppose to open up in IE. Please be more specific..
Cheers
Here's what I have
The folder for the HTC Home Screen has a file called _setup.xml and around 100 files.
I click on the _setup.xml file and it opens in IE. Nothing happens. There is no .cab file in the folder.

You unpacked the CAB file somehow (likely on your PC before transfering). Don't do that. Move the CAB file to your phone, not its contents. When you open a CAB file, it looks to the XML file for installation instructions. If you open the XML file, it thinks you want to read it, so it opens PIE.
So don't unpack CABs.
noob question...i managed to copy the kaisertweak.exe to \My Documents\Personal by just browsing to it and doing a 'Save As'. However, this doesn't seem to work for the XML...it wants to display it in the browser. I've tried renaming the xml file with a .dat extension, an .exe extension and without an extension...but it won't let me download the file. What's the best way to get the xml file from the web (http://www.fxnexus.com/storage/kaiser/kaisertweak.xml) to my device?
(I don't want to use an intermediary PC to transfer files.)
thx, fxs.

all you got to do is in your browser hit FILE > save page as. select only save xml, not full page. if that dont work, then just go here and download the ZIP file that contains both the new kaisertweak exe and xml files.

On IE ...on my device?? I don't have a File Menu option!
Once I load the xml file within IE...all I have at the bottom is a 'Back' menu option, and a 'Menu' menu option. 'Menu' has Edit, View, Tools etc...but no 'File'.
I tried doing a Edit --> Select All --> Copy and then, went into Word Mobile to paste it all and save as text...but then, I'm left with a '.txt' file that I cannot rename to '.xml'.

do it on your PC not in the WM. if you insist on using your device to dl, then i suggest installing a unzipper. then you can just download that kaiser tweak zip file to your phone. unzip it on the phone and you got both the exe and xml right on the phone.
Can't install Kaisertweak on AT&T Tilt
I've tried installing this two ways:
1. On my PC: when I click the .exe file, I get the message: "KaiserTweak.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
2. On my Tilt: when I click on the .zip file, it shows KaiserTweak.exe and KaiserTweak.xml, but the latter file has the Opera browser icon next to it and the description "Unknown Type." When I tap on KaiserTweak.exe, I get the message: "Unable to open file \Windows\-IA Zip Temporary Files\KaiserTweak.xml". Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption. Press Cancel to kill the program." When I press OK, nothing happens: I'm brought back to the display of the .exe and .xml files.
I'm assuming the program is not installing, and that I'll know that the installation was successful when I see KaiserTweak when I select Start/Programs.
Thanks.

You dont want to remove the original explorer for several reasons. So either ignore it in your porgrams folder, or just remove it from your programs folder.
To do so, use resco to navigate to Windows/Start Menu/Programs and delete File Explorer.lnk
You have to change the resco explorer setting so that you can view hidden files.
I keep my File explorer in my programs menu because for some reason resco won't bluetooth files to my mac, so when i want to do that, i exit out of resco, open regular file explorer and send the files through that.
tnx a lot i appreciate your advice.. i wil foolow this step.
Windows/Start Menu/Programs and delete File Explorer.lnk
thank you mates..
I have a question
I have the game "Worms" on my device. To specify it's on my storage card.
Today I made a hard reset.
Now I want to make a link to the .exe from Worms. Cause now I hae to go through file-explorer and I want it like it was before the hard reset. There was a link in my games folder before the hard reset under programs...
How can I do this again ?
resco file explorer is your friend
Sorry, but I don't unsterstand this....
It is being suggested you download and install Resco Explorer a pay-for app that does have a free trial. Resco allows you to Click/Hold an .exe file and Send To a StartMenu shortcut which are trying to do.
You can do it the hard way with Notepad but it is a pain.

Total Commander, I think will do it too, but I own Resco and am familiar with it. It is FREE.
Hi
If you use Resco File explorer you can create shortcut to any exe file.it wil be placed to your start menu.but you can do it manualy too.without useing Resco FE.
1. Open Notepad
2. Place the entire path to the file in the first line of the file, including the .exe file. You must use quotation marks if it resides in a directory with spaces, such as “\Program Files.”
3. Count the number of characters in the command line, including spaces and quotes, to get the length of the string.
4. In the .lnk file, the format for the line is
<length of string>#<command line>
5. Save the file and copy it to the "\Windows\Start Menu" directory on the Windows CE or Pocket PC device. This places the shortcut at the top level of the Start Menu.
You don't need a 3rd-party explorer or notepad. Creating shortcuts is very simple using the built-in file explorer.
Step 1: Start file explorer.
Step 2: Navigate to the folder the EXE is in.
Step 3: Highlight the EXE.
Step 4: Copy the EXE to the clipboard (Menu | Edit | Copy).
Step 5: Navigate to the start menu folder you want the shortcut in (typically \Windows\Start Menu\Programs).
Step 6: Paste a shortcut to the EXE (Menu | Edit | Paste Shortcut).
Step 7: Rename the shortcut if desired.
The shortcut will now be in start menu programs. You can now move it to and from the top-level start menu using Start | Settings | Menus.

First of all thanks to everyone for posting...
But I have one question....what do you mean with "highlight the EXE?"
I hope you can help me ^^

When you navigate to a folder in File Explorer, the first file in the folder is highlighted (selected). Highlight the the executable file to which you need a start menu shortcut, either using d-pad down, or tap-n-hold with the stylus. This will be the file copied to the clipboard in step #4.
Note: I use the term "highlight" rather than "select" because selecting the file implies tapping on it, which will open the application. You don't want to start the application.

Do a search. There are many tutorials that can walk you through this.
What's the best file explorer program? I'm looking for one that can drag files, and also select multiple files by scrolling down (i.e. if one file is highlighted, you put the pen on the file, and move it down the list, highlighting files as you move over them). A link to the .CAB file would be appreciated.
Thanks,
