Acrobat Reader on XDA II

Hello,
the pre-installed pdf reader on my xda II doesn't show all pdf-files correctly, so I installed acrobat reader for ppc. Nevertheless, if I tap on a pdf-file in the file explorer or in an email, it opens the file with the other viewer. Only way is tosave the file and open it manually.
Does anybody know, how to male acrobat my default pdf-application or to uninstall the other viewer?
Kind regards
Sascha

yah, faced the same problem too ... was wondering is there anyway to change the file association?

Hi,
I don't know of any way to chance file associations with any of the pre-loaded apps, but you can do it with Resco File Explorer. You can download a free trial version from resco-net.com - I can definately recommend this product as a permanant addition to your XDA anyway.
Codenix.

PocketTweak
You can use PocketTweak to easily change file associations.

sounds good ...!
i think it might work, but before i try, there's something in my mind .. then can the built in ppt and pdf viewer be total removed?? thanks.

There are many. Total Commander is a good multi-purpose tool. I personally like MobileRegistry Editor - it lets me edit the registry from the PC.

i use resco explorer, simpler to use and costumizable

Until lately I've been using Tascal Reg Editor--its small and doesn't need a cab install, just the exe. However I recently found the latest version of dotFred's Task Manager has a mode to edit the registry. Its a good tool to have...

use this from your pc its faster.
extract were ever you want and open it, enjoin!!

Thanx again bro..
But I am not getting any registry editor (ofcourse freeare) for winmobile 6
I hope you will sure help me dear Disable..

Use MobileRegistryEditor.exe which runs on your PC where you can read/update registry entries on your device when connected via ActiveSync.

Free registy editors for the phone not connected to pc are:
Total Commander 2.0
this verison has registry editing built right in..
if u dont like Total Commander you can always use this one:
PHM Registry Editor
i prefer this one but i guess it is just preference

Thnx very much, Once I hv installed Total Commander, but could not understand for what purpose this application is

Opening *.txt files

Hi to all. First of all, I've tried to search but I got to ask since I can't find this topic anywhere.
Ok. Does anybody know how I can open a file with the extension *.txt with my preferred program? When I click directly on the filename, the text is opened in Word Mobile. I would like to just click the filename and don't open my application before I can edit my file. I'm using another application that I prefer for editing my txt files. All suggestions are welcome

use total commander to associate file extensions with programs if your pref
or do it manually using a reg-editor

Thanks for the reply. But if I associate from TC, it still open with MW when I start any txt file from todayscreen, (from within PocketPlus). I suppose that using the TC only work when you open from TC? So I'll try to use a reg.edit. and see what happens. Thanks again.

you can use Schap's Advanced Configuation and change file associations..

I've tried Adv Conf 3.3, but still the Mobile Word opens my txt files

what do you use to open them? you might have specific file associations in your file browser.

what about resco explorer? it works to fix this problem in my device

I prefer the NeboPad, and the registry sais that my txt files should be opened with NeboPad. It seems that MS override this, during the copyright

this is impossible. assiciations are set via OS.. if you set a specific association in Adv Config.. it'll work for the OS unless you're using a file manager that opens using its own preferences. try another file explorer like Resco

I'm running it from Spb Pocket Plus and not from any file explorer. In the Advanced Configuration 3.3 it's stated that file with the extension of *.txt, should be opened with \Program Files\NeboPad\NeboPad.exe. But still it's opened with Mobile Word. I think I'll have to go back to Notes with the *.pwi extension. Anyway, thank's for trying.
Regards

if you use notes and it works thru Spb Pocket Plus it means that this NeboPad is the problem, not your association.

Well. I've tried a lot of editors and pad programs by this time, but every time I try to open a TXT file, it comes up in PWORD. This must be something in the OS itself I belive. Or has anyone managed it to work?

At last!
Finally I've found a program that's works. It's MobilePad (nice too).

Is there an Application which searchs for files on PPC?

Is there an Application which searchs for files on PPC?
Like something.dll or *.dll?
Anything like that?
THanks

total commander search for all file extensions you set it to as in search for *.dll

I use resco

I just use File Explorer which has a decent search filter.
