Hey all I have a X1,
I want to know how to replace files in the Windows folder, can anyone help me out?
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated
MOD EDIT - Moved to General discussion as not related to rom development
can anyone help?
Total Commander: http://www.ghisler.com/ should work
I myself prefer Resco File Explorer...i haven't done a "windows" file replacement in a while, but I believe that method works
Don't forget to enable hidden files (just in case you aren't seeing something)
I will try it out right away, thanks a lot for the reply

hello folks,
I'm running a TILT with HTC ROM.
I am trying to make some changes to system files located in the
windows directory. attributes are read only and I cannot find a
way to make changes to that. I've searched the forum but didn't
find anything. if anyone knows of a way to delete/change the read only
attribute on winmo 5 windows directory please point me in the right
direction.
thanks!
If the items you are trying to modify are built into the rom, you can see them but they can not be modified.
The items specifically i'm trying to modify are
the 0_in and 0_out files with in the windows directory
that are used for keyboard sliding sounds. i've read
previously about people using customer slide sounds
and just replacing the ones inside the directory with
the newly formed files.
I asked the question more generically incase anyone
else wanted information on the same subject for
different reasons.
update: Changed rom files!
I was doing some digging and I figured out how to
change over files that are baked onto the rom.
I did so by using Totalcommander. which is a shareware
file system. says it also has a built in reg editor
but ive yet to figure out how to open that
feature...if anyone else uses totalcommander
let me know how to start its regediting functions.
I havnet used total commander in a while, but i believe its in a directory "//" with no name.

Two thoughts - I've got a control panel for the sliding sounds where I can change the sound associate with the slider. Is that not working?
Are you trying to replace the files using File Explorer or something like Total Commander? FE won't do it, but TC or one of the extended file explorers should. Note that you won't really be replacing a file in ROM, and if you ever delete the one you add the one in ROM will "magically" reappear.
If you want to overwrite files in the Windows directory, Resco File Explorer does this beautifully!
Fin
bump...im having trouble editing files on my phone from activesync and i want to know how i can disable the "read only" on these files...can anyone help?
Use total commander
Click on the file properties and uncheck "read only".
Edit or overwrite them
guys i just installed resco explorer 2007, but the original explorer of my htc is still there, how can i remove the original explorer?? cause im already using resco explorer 2007, pls help..thanks in advance mates.
no explore is inside the rom and cant be removed and even if it could all programs use part of explore to acccess saving files and opening them and the likes
much like on a pc
also your thread title is pretty vague
it's pretter to try to shortform the issue at hand in the title
otherwise all the forums will be full of posts called
help me
help meee
pllzzzzzz help
.....
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..
Hi all! I am trying to modify the autocorrect file, though I am running into some issues.
1. I cannot modify the file using Total Commander to uncheck read only
2. I believe because of #1, I am unable to copy the autocorrect file back to the Windows directory, as I am receiving an access denied error.
Has anyone had a successful experience with this? If so, please help me!
Thank you so much.
(I copied this from another forum because I accidentally posted in the wrong forum, please mods..don't kill me. )

Hi:
I used this file to increase volume on my Fuze. Seemed to work very well for me.
Hope this helps.
Just delete the file you have there, soft reset, and the original will come back by itself
Thanks for posting the files guys! I'm running RRE, and my mic is way out of whack. I've had many complaints of noise while I am on the line. I'm hoping that restoring my audiopara3.csv file will fix the problem. BUT, I am having serious problems extracting the file in order to synch it to my phone. Is there a trick that I'm missing? I can't even get the file to show up on my desktop after I move it. Should I only be replacing the audiopara3.csv file? Do the other audiopara files have any impact here? TIA guys. I really appreciate your responses.
Not sure if the audiopara has hidden/system attributes but to convert back to stock, del in windows dir and soft reset. The system will revert to stock settings.
BTW if you have one to play with just copy it from the SD to the windows dir using TotalCommander and leave AS alone.
Thanks tyguy. I am using total commander. I went and selected audiopara3.csv, but after I tell the phone to delete, it gives me a warning window:
Could not delete 1 file(s)!
Any idea what could be causing this to happen? From what I've been reading, it should be pretty easy to either overwrite / delete this file, so I don't know why I'm having so much trouble.
Most likely it is in use. Check the TC settings that you are permitted to see/access/delete system files.
Try to rename and delete
I'm running Total Commander/CE v2.51
The only TC settings I have are language settings.
I checked the file attributes for audiopara3.csv, and they are set to 'read only' and 'in ROM'. When I uncheck the read only and save, the next time i check the file properties, the check box reverts back to being selected. I might need to revert back to the stock ROM if I can't get this audio stuff to work.
I don't have the original anymore, but this one really helped, it's loud and no distortions. Unzip first.
squirrel, did you try to rename or move it using TC?
Worked for me all the time.
i get the same error when trying to rename, edit, or move.
I'm happy to be able to report some resolution. What I was able to do was copy the entire zip file to my phone with all the audiopara files that herg posted on the last page. Then, using totalcommander, I was able to extract the files one by one to the windows directory and overwrite the files. Thanks for all of your help guys! Everyone who had to put up with the static while talking to me sincerly appreciates it!
Hi,
I'm just testing my cooking skills on sparkienl's kitchen.
Problem is I've noticed that every package I put inside my ROM, even if I redirect it to the program files, puts it files on both program files and windows folder.
now, normally this wouldn't bother me much - but the folder has well over 5000 files (had about double that number before), since I presume it has an impact on performance I'de like to know if I can safely delete the files on the window folder (and how) or not,
thanks in advance and sorry if the question was asked before - I did lots of searching and couldn't find anything helpful

Why not ask this query within kitchen thread?
I wouldnt go about just deleting files from the windows directory. That said, i think the program extendir can be used to move files out of the windows directory whilst still leaving them functional. I think it must be cooked into ROM or something (i never looked into it) or if the project is still on.
Fallen Spartan - because it happend on both Sparkienl's and Juggler's kitchens I've tried, so I presumed its more of a common ROM cooking question then a kitchen specific one - your call on whether to keep the thread open,
Ask - thanks, looks like a great addition to te ROM, but as far as I've read its only for files added after the ROM have been flashed, meaning I will need to create a bare ROM, its not so far from what I want - but there are still those pesky thousends of files
