I want to replace some of the .png files in the windows folder. I get a message that I don't have permission. I want to replace some icons.
Try to rename them and after delete. Sometimes works like this.
I don't have the option to rename. On the device (sprint touch) the delete and rename are greyed out. Using active sync, I don't have the option to rename. I want to replace the HH-FW_iconweather.png file to start with.
Thanks.
Use total commander or resco file explorer, these progs usually allow this operation
wow, total commander is a good app, I will keep it on the device. But, neither of the programs will let me delete the file. In resco, I can't see the .png files.
I found another thread of what I want to do:

where can i get - Resco File Explorer

If it is a ROM file you can't rename or erase it while being in windows. With Total Commander or Resco File Explorer you have the option to show only files that are not stored in ROM.
I suppose the files you are talking about are ROM files from a cooked ROM.
And how to...

Hello,
I have similar problem - I try to copy some 'mui' files from ROM to my SD card, but I get 'acces denied' during copying (in RescoExplorer, TotalComander too). Is there any possibility to copy files with 'ROM' files attribute set to my folder? Please help
Best greetings,
RA

my fexplore.exe is corrupted and I cant run it anymore and I dont want to do a hard reset yet. I'd like to copy fexplore.exe from another phone to mine, but I get an error about the file being in rom and premission being denied.
So how would I go about copying the files from the rom?
Should I dump the rom and extract the files??
please advise.

No, don't do anything yet about your ROM except create a backup file of everything using SPB Backup or Sprite Backup if you have it.
All you need is SCOTER KITCHEN to extract files or modules: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293296&highlight=ROM+Cooker
The instructions are there too. Just read it and carefully follow the instructions. You need not borrow another phone with this procedure. All you need is your own ROM files distributed by your manufacturer.
If after reading this thread and you still think it is too much. All you need is TOTAL COMMANDER (free) or RESCO FILE EXPLORER (not free) and install either of those 2 applications to the phone you want to extract the files from. Copy the files to an SD Card. Transfer the SD Card to the device you want the files to be replaced and also install either TOTAL COMMANDER or RESCO FILE EXPLORER so you can use either of them to transfer the file. OVERWRITE the file and you should be done after a SOFT RESET.
Good Luck!!! Hope it helps...

Yes, unfortunately, dumping a ROM and extracting files is the only way to get a working copy, but there is no need for that!
First, how did your fexplore.exe become corrupted? Did you overwrite it with a bad file?
If so, just rename fexplorer.exe to something else, then reset and the original ROM version will be visible again.
Alternatively, you could install the free PPC version of Total commander which is much better anyway.
I have both resco explorer and total commander.
so use total commander to extract the files from a dumped rom??

No use total commander to extract the files off another working phone (like you suggested in the first place). Place the file on an SD Card. Transfer the SD Card to your phone and use total commander again to OVERWRITE the corrupted file.
OR simply follow levenum's advise from above.

But I get the same error with Resco explorer and total commander when I try to copy fexplore.exe from a working phone to a memory card. Permission denied or parameter incorrect

Make sure you soft reset prior to trying to copy the file.
what would soft reset do?

It will make sure that the application you are trying to copy is not currently in use. That is the reason why sometimes Total Commander or RESCO File Explorer won't allow you to copy or transfer a file.

The reason Total commander wont copy it is becasue it's in the rom.
Is there any settings on total commander I have to modify before doing this?
I'm about to give up on this and just dump the rom.
You can't use total commander to copy this file.
No setting - nothing!
Files that are in ROM appear as usual in the list, but in fact they are stored in a special way so system functions used by all file explorers can not read them as data and copy them.
Only the application loader (the part of the system that actually runs apps)
knows how to open them.
This is why ROMs have to be dumped using special tools that can access restricted memory region using special commands, then unpacked and decoded before you see actual files.
But as i said before - there is no way you could actually damage ROM file, only overwrite it so renaming and resetting (soft reset - no data loss) should work.
As levenum said you wont be able to copy fexplorer.exe with any file explorer - its a system file and although its not running still not possible to copy - some other non-system windows files you are able to copy. You need to dump the rom if you want that file - or post the details of you phone anf someone may send the file to you.
fair enough.
I'll dump the rom
For personal reasons, I want to kill solitaire in my WM6 phone. Not just the shortcut, I want it removed from the Windows directory! Not to save money but to keep me from playing it !
It is a protected system file on board the phone - how do I permantly kill it?
I will just play one game of solitaire, then check if there is an answer - doh!!!
make a rom from scratch which dont include the exe files
I want to avoid making a ROM like that, but I guess that is the only way? I did not know this file was part of the ROM - Read Only Memory - so I have to live with it then ... any other way to kill it without damaging the unit?
try this.
install resco explorer.
look in the /windows folder and find out the name of the solitare executable. (most likely solitare.exe)
make a empty text file on your comp. , rename it to the the file you want to del. (from newfile.txt to solitare.exe---->the icon should change to that of an executable file)
copy this file onto your sd card and with resco explorer copy this file into the windows directory...it should ask you permission to overwrite.
reboot
Using Total Commander, go to folder \windows\start menu\programs\games\ and remove (delete) the lnk file related to Solitaire. It will not delete the executable but will make it invisible. Out of sight is out of mind!
The real answer
You need to get hold of self_control_v1.exe but I can't remember where I got it from. It's the same program that stops me eating too much.
LOL

Great minds think alike.
This won't delete the file, but it will mask it with another file. (The file is still in the ROM.)

it should actually delete the file (you are over writing it with another file of the same name)
Cool, it worked!
Or, at least I am not smart enough to find and run Solitare.exe any more ...
Mission complete!
Trial version of Resco did it, but it will run out in 7 days. Wonder if it is worth to keep it, now that I HAVE killed Solitare.exe?
Hello guys,
I've got a little question :
I need to extract some files from \windows, like manila.exe for example, but the problem is that even with resco explorer and total commander, it won't allow me to do so
I know there is a tool to do it but I can't find it back!
Please help me because it is quite urgent as i'm beta testing some few apps here and the guys needs my files
Cheers
I've never had problems with total commander. Try copying instead of cutting them out. If you are trying to cut them out and the files are active they can't be moved.
no no I'm just trying to copy it....
you're trying to copy files and it tells you you can't? what exactly is the error message?
With resco explorer, I've got "Access denied" :
And with Total Commander here is what I get :
I've tried either to copy on the internal memory and the SD card....
First I thought it was because TF3D wasn't inactivated, but I've bot the same problem if I disable the TF3D...
No.. this is stranger than i thought. I can copy everything from the windows folder.
This is weird.. but check out the properties of your windows folder..
Also, try using your PC to copy the files.
nop...even from the PC I can't copy it...
Maybe I try something else, is there a tool that can allow me to extract the file directly from the ROM files ? I mean from the .nbh file
little up guys

Try , in Total Commander, to press and hold the file, in the menu press properties, then uncheck the read only box by clicking it twice.
See if that does it for you.
I unchecked first and tried but failed.
because it automatically checked(Read Only).
Any other solution.
Which dll files are you trying to move and what for?
File Name:"shellresapps.dll"
dont move them. you can copy anything, but you can't move file in use (such as that system file)
PS: becareful editing that file and be prepared for a hard reset if you screw it up
I can't copy also.
I was curious to see if I could copy shellresapps.dll with Resco File Explorer but I also get an error that it can't be copied .-
"shellresapps.dll" is the system file, you can't copy it to /windows folder, another way, first of all install SdkCerts.cab and make a CAB file with your "shellresapps.dll" and install to your device, becarefull, by replace system file your ppc maynot be restart and you have to HR.
I would replace one file system in windows folder but it say me "access negate", I saw is a file "read-only" and because of this I haven't the access to edit it.
How I can edit it?

The built-in file manager doesn't trust us
Use something like Resco Explorer or Total Commander and you'll be able to overwrite most files in the windows folder.
