With my Shadow/Juno, when I download a picture attached to an email in my Windows Live account, it downloads it as a .txt file and tried to open it in Word and in Word it just displays as a bunch of letters and characters. Is there anyway or is there a program that will let me open the file in the picture display....kind of like the "Open With..." in a Windows OS?
I have found a program called MY Extentions.
With this you can associate any type of file to a program.
Hope it works out for you!

I am trying to map the left soft key on the Today screen to Messaging, but I am having problems. I changed the registry setting of HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = to "\Windows\Messaging.lnk\" since I can't find the Messaging.exe file. However, when I click it, I get an error that says "The file " cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If this problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
When I click directly on the Messaging.lnk file in the Windows directory (using Total Commander), it opens Messaging, so I'm not sure what the problem is, and when I map the key to .exe files, it works fine. Can I just not map to a .lnk file? If not, does anyone know where Messaging.exe is?
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Maybe you should remove the last "\" in the string "\Windows\Messaging.lnk"...
Thanks - tried that. Also tried with and without quotes and with adding a %1. No dice.
EDIT: Found it with help from a great mod (PerfAlbion) at pdaphonehome.com: Messaging in \Windows = tmail.exe.

Have you seen the button under the right softkey button?
well there's no messaging.exe file, the file is called tmail.exe
"\Windows\tmail.exe"
if you want to map it so it opens a new Text message rename the attached file to newsms.lnk and copy the file to your windows directory and map the key to it
hope that helped

Thanks! Any way to make it open a new email message?
yes. create a copy of the newsms.lnk and rename it to whatever u want (maybe newemail.lnk) and edit it to the following
tmail.exe -service "ActiveSync" -to ""

I would also add that if you have a personal POP3 email set up (eg "Cox Email" or whatever you have named this account on your phone), you can edit it to the following;
tmail.exe -service "Cox Email" -to ""
You can also make direct links to your email InBox;
tmail.exe -service "Cox Email" -Inbox ""
Thanks much, everyone.
EDIT: Do I have to change the "28" if I change the script? I read that that number refers to the number of characters in the string.

No, it doesn't seem so, I tried it with "28" in all cases and it still worked fine.
Since I spent an hour or two trying to figure this out today hopefully someone else can use it too.
To get directly to your Windows Live email inbox
Create .lnk on pc with notepad and copy directly to device
43#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "Windows Live"
(to help search)
tmail.exe -service "Windows Live"
a little off topic
I'm running WM6 on a verizon samsung sch i760 i have tried to use a remap softkey app, tried editing it myself and still can't get the right softkey to change i just want it to open my PocketCM app. Nothing. Any help is helpful.
Thanks
hey guys, how would i edit this so that i can link straight to a specific SMS folder?
guys.. U can try this site by Vicot..
http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=KeySwop&platform=ppc
I'm using it and it works like a charm...
there are other great cabs in the site also..
however, when using Clear Temp Express, pay attention to the prompt.
I had re-assigned my left soft keys to New SMS.lnk.
Clear Temp express tends to ask if I want to remove the lnk.
Just click no and it should work fine.
Hi all,
I have been looking on how to create a bookmark in the Start Menu of Windows Mobile 6.5.1 that launches the Opera browser to go to a specific website but I have no idea what to do!
Try this way.
In any text editor program, make a new empty txt file , paste the full url address into it (for example, http://forum.Xda-developers.com/), count how many characters those are(in this case it's 32 characters), then insert "xx#" infront of it, use a quote mark on the on the url, xx=number of url characters+2,then the text read as: 34#"http://forum.xda-developers.com/" , save it in this way:
file type: All files
code: ASCII
Filename: Xda.lnk or whatever.lnk
Now you got the shortcut (.lnk)file, you can copy it to \Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\ folder, it will showup in the start menu. If you click on it, it will launch the default browser to go to the url.
Tip: xx=filesize-3
yay it works!!! Thank you so much!
Sorry if this has been posted before. This was one of those "late-night family specials" and I had to write it down somewhere.
I will polish this up later. Hope it helps!
1) Connect your iPhone to iTunes and make a backup.
a) Wait for iPhone to list.
b) Right click, then select Backup.
Depending on the size of data on your phone and the last backup performed, this could take a while.
2) Download SQLite Database Extractor and iFunBox. It's a bit unpleasant, but it'll work.
3) Do the following to restore key information:
PHOTOS
-----------
iPhones are recognized as cameras in Windows and Mac, so pull photos like you normally would (iPhoto, Windows Explorer, etc.)
SMS
-----
Go to this (http://faked.org/isms2droid/index.php) website and follow the instructions.
CONTACTS
--------------
This is the messy part. (You must be syncing your phone with a Google account to make this work.)
BIG NOTE: If your iPhone can access the internet, the easiest way to do this is to add your Google account on the iPhone and sync everything that way. See http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252 for details.
1) Open iPhone Backup Extractor and wait for it to finish loading data.
2) When finished, click "Expert Mode"
3) Click on LIBRARY, then ADDRESSBOOK, then AddressBook.sqlitedb
4) Click Extract Selected, then save to somewhere convenient (like the Desktop). It will display a warning; just click OK. NOTE: The program costs $34.95. Unfortunately, it's not worth it.
5) Navigate to the folder you saved this file in, then click LIBRARY, then AddressBook.
5) Open SQL Database Extractor. When it opens, drag this file into the application. If you did this right, you should get tons of dropdown menus.
6) Click on Edit, then Create Table. Name the table whatever you want; I will use "TEST_TABLE" as the name in this example.
7) Click Add, then type "First" for field name and "TEXT" for field type. Repeat this twice, entering the data below:
Field Names: "Last", "Mobile"
Field Type: "TEXT", "TEXT"
8) When done, click on "Execute SQL" and enter the following query in the SQL string:
INSERT INTO "test_table" (First, Last, Mobile) SELECT AbPerson.First AS First, AbPerson.Last AS Last, AbMultiValue.value AS Mobile FROM AbPerson, AbMultiValue WHERE (AbPerson.ROWID = AbMultiValue.record_id AND AbMultiValue.value LIKE '%(%)%')
If it worked, you should see "No error" underneath "Error message from database engine"
BIG NOTE: If you mess up the query above, SQLite Database Browser will freeze! Yes, I know it sucks. I'm going to make a better way.
BIG NOTE 2: Everyone's phone number will be recognized as mobile numbers. Remember that this is a quick way of getting your contacts back.
BIG NOTE 3: If the person's number is not in the format [+...] (prefix) suffix, it will be lost. Sorry
9) Click on "Browse Data" and select the table you created (here, TEST_TABLE) from the "Table" dropdown. If it worked, you'll see first names, last names and phone numbers.
10) Click on File, then Export, then Export As CSV File. Select TEST_TABLE for the table name and click Export to complete. Save it somewhere convenient, like the desktop. Click OK, then exit. Don't save the new table.
11) Log into your Gmail account and go to your contacts. Click on MORE ACTIONS, then IMPORT.
12) Browse to the CSV file you just created. Then click Import. If it worked, you should see all of your contacts in Gmail, and they will appear in your phone in a few minutes.
The worst is now behind you!
MUSIC
--------
Going by memory, sorry. There are two good ways of doing it:
(a) the easy way:
1) Download DoubleTwist and install
2) Wait for device to connect
3) Click on it, then click Sync Music
4) Get good coffee to enjoy while waiting.
(b) the geeky way:
1) Open iFunBox
2) When your phone is recognized, expand it, then click Raw File System, then iTunes_Control, then Music
3) Copy ALL folders somewhere convenient.
4) When that's finished, connect your Android device as USB storage.
5) Create a folder called Music or similar if not already present.
6) Copy all of those folders into that directory. You will lose the pretty names, but all of the music will be organized automatically.
No matter what type of attachment it is, it shows up with .dat as the format. It will no longer open .jpg, pdf or word and excel files.
Running EB 2.3.3 with the stock email included with the rom. I made sure there are no prefences set for any sofware that would override the attachements. It used to pop up a list of software and allow me to choose how to open the file.
Any thoughts?
Do you have Astro File MAnager installed on your phone?
I can't find how to export all contacts to PC. The user manual is just childish stupid !
This must include all data (Name, phone numbers, etc)
Must I connect the device to a usb port or wifi and upload to cloud ?
Are they located on simcard or somewhere inside the device ?
1: Open Contacts app separately. (Not through dialer.)
2: Press 3 dots top right.
3: Select All
4: Click the share button.
5: From there you can choose to share it or save it locally on your phone which can then be copied to PC.
All contacts will be condensed into one .vcf file which is recognised by all phones.
All the best.
Thank you Alrich
After creating the vcf file:
I see the share icon. The wanted choice for me would be to send that file to the PC.
The Poco X3 NFC is usb connected to my pc with function file transfer allowed.
On the Poco screen I assume that the 'monitor' icon is the symbol for local pc ?
Clicking that option opens right away the app Casten which is asking access (3 options shown).
This app seems to be mandatory. I would have expected instantaneous copy operation instead of again another app authorization.
So far so good. But what to do with issue ‘Casten' ?
Even when going in this application settings and allowing 'location' I keep turning in a loop.

Can't you simply send the file to your email account and then download it on your PC?
I now try #4 (sharing with my gmail account).
The process shows a large spinning wheel and above a text Informatie controleren ... (Dutch). This seems to spin for ever.
By the way, I will change the language to English, for the purpose of reporting exactly what appears on screen..
At #3
I made a faulty assumption. The 'screen' icon is not for pc sharing. It seems to be for sharing the vcf file on screens ! What the hell has "exporting contacts" to do with sharing screens. Very confusing.

No idea what that might be. Maybe you have many contacts.
You can also try this:
Contacts - Share
And then select a file manager app. That way you can simply save the vcf file on your phone.
Then connect your phone to your PC and then copy the vcf file over
Meanwhile I managed to store Contacts on my PC.
But first, let me tell what NOT to do : Exporting to merged CSV file would be ok, if Excel would open that in a usual view. That however is not the case because Excel shows a useless scrambled view mixing all commas and data.
I found a free software that converts the csv file to another file that shows a normal view in Excel. Download from SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/projects/bulkvcftocsv/
Using that software Excel opens all Contacts as a normal sheet. This is easy to edit.
I assume that it can be used to import in iPhone devices.
No need to export contacts to pc via Google account, but you might like to do that also.
I do not know if there is any other easier method. Eventually why make things too simple if there is a more difficult way ?
#7 came was read after my fix described in #8. I might like to try it later

Possible cause: CSV standard is Comma Separated Values; in my experience and unless properly configured, Excel expects Colon Separated Values...
