I've upgraded my SMT5600 from WinMo 2003 SE to 6.1. In 2003se, there was an HTC file explorer that was good. Since upgrading, I've tried Total Commander 2.0 and SmartExplorer 1.4 as well as Resco Explorer. So far I like Resco's the most, but I'm at the end of my trial so it's time to look for something else.
What file exploring programs do the rest of ya'll prefer?
Yeah Resco is the best. Here are some others:

just an update....
So I went ahead and bought Resco Explorer and Registry, They are good, but my complaints are that they cannot edit shortcut .lnk files like Total Commander can (something I've just learned how to do) and the Registry application does not have "favorites" like Explorer does. I've been using PHM RegEdit since it's first release for PocketPC many many years ago and never found a better device side substitute. I'd keep using it, but the SmartPhone version doesn't seem to export and it's favorites are broken. At least they have been since I've moved to WM6.
Thanks all and keep on!

Hi !
Are there any good free alternatives to file explorer??
I know there is Resco File Explorer, but it's not a freeware.
WM File Explorer annoys me, I find it so limited most of the time.
Thanks
Free File Managers
GS Finder+
It does pretty much the same as Resco but its Free!

probably the best freeware out there.
yeah, used to resco but the sending big files via bluetooth to other devices always failed, usually after more than half of sending progress. I have no problem for the same file sending with total commander.
yeah I just installed Total Commander here.. looks like an excellent software. Thanks a lot.
I'm planning to pick up my Fuze on Tuesday. Can anyone recommend a small, efficient registry editor?
Thanks!

or
total commander
Got it.
Many thanks,

Yeah, I'll 2nd PHM, used it on my Fuze and it was awesome.
or Mobile Registry Editor if you want to edit registry via PC
Download: http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
FAQ: http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Posts/2005/8/Mobile_Registry_Editor_FAQ.aspx
try the advised search options..
I'll stick with total commander it's a bit more and very effective.
Im a fan of PHM as well, but his is a site I made thats got all the common registry entries in it that you can make an installable cab file for. You can add your own as well. Much faster, and reversible by uninstalling the cab:

Okay maybe a stupid question. I installed PHM while my phone was active synced and my computer said it was installed, but I never saw anything on my phone and don't see it in the "programs" folder. This is an AT&T FUZE.

reinstall... if it installed the first time, ur not losing anything if u reinstall (just replace it), and if u messed it up, reinstall since it didnt make it on ur phone anyway....
I use Total Commander .... more simple I find.
I have searched quite thoroughly, both on this forum and wider, for a solution to this. I may be being thick, but...
When I've installed (to either the device or the SD card ) Resco Explorer I get "this is not a valid pocket pc application" when I try to run it. I've tried running it from the start menu shortcut and from the application icon in Program Files.
Would really appreciate help with this as I am unable to do any of the nice HKLM tweaks out there without Resco Explorer.

Sounds like you may have downloaded an incorrect version. Can you give us a link to where you got it from?
Well its not exactly an official source, if you see what I mean. I dont mind paying for the application, if it proves to be useful and easy for me to use. Until then I guess Im a bit stuck then.
Ive tried .cab of the 2010 beta and the 2008 "rescoexploreren_p.exe" app, installed via the PC.
You can download a free trial of Resco, but I'd recommend Total Commander. It's not as finger friendly as Resco, but it's certainly more wallet friendly (as in, it's free )
You can Google it or find it on here.
on my leo, resco file explorer 2010 runs without a problem. so i think it's because of your 'source' why it's not running on your device.
try the official demo or search for better "source". but first be sure not having downloaded a virus (actually infecting your pc)
On my HD2 Resco Explorer 2008 running without any problem, downloaded from resco.net and installed via pc.
Hi
I've just loaded the above application onto my HTC HD2. The main explorer component works as well as ever, but I can't seem to be able to utilize the Resco Today plug in and although the Resco Task Manager appears in the program menu, I can't get it to close applications down in the usual way.
Does anyone know if the above issues are a function of the HTC sence platform, or are they resolvable.
May thanks

don't install resco explorer 2010 via CAB (i have the same problem with it) but install with your phone connected to your pc with active-sync and use the *.exe file setup you can download from the resco website
p.s. excuse my english.

What did you do to install resco explorer? (Did you use a .cab? or the .exe file found at their website?)
When you're in Resco Explorer, press "Menu" > Options > Add-ins.
Don't you get a message there like "download resco today now"? (if so, you didn't install it )
Grtz,
Degake
There is no CTRL key on my TP2 Verizon Version. Please tell me a way to select multiple files in file explorer
what version of windows are you running? on 6.1 if you change the on screen keyboard to the old school windows one there is a control key. as for 6.5 that I upgraded to, that keyboard is no longer an option so I dont know what to do. cant seem to program one on the keyboard with the rhodium keyboard controller
I am on WM6.5 and I can't figure out any way to multiselect files. I did have this option on 6.1 though and i searched the forums as well but didnt find anything thats why i posted a new topic
use something like total commander to select multiple files
Resco Explorer my friend, default explorer doent have this option
