I noticed that some programs are not listen in the MENU->Programs-List even if it IS present in the WINDOWS folder.
f.e.my JAVA application is there but NOT as an icon in my Programs list.
Is there a place in the Registry that contains info on *.exe files to be represented in the PROGRAMS folder ?

I'm interested in navigating the Windows Mobile file system using the command-line on Windows. Is there something similar to the /dev/... to gain access to a device's file system? (i know you linux guys are all laughing, fyi... to make it "worse" i'm using Vista).
Thanks,
Matt
it's a bit hard to know what your question is
do you need a pocketpc console app?'
do you have one but dont know how to change dir?
and what does the fact that your pc run vista have to do with anything?
guess a pocketpc console and using the free ms remote pda display program would work
if the free ms tools support vista that is
but to tell you the truth pocketpc and even vista was never really ment to be operated that way
one cant change regs or navigate regs without alot of typing
With an ActiveSync connection, I'd like to access the file system on my Windows Mobile phone via the command-line on my Windows PC. For instance, I currently navigate the file system on my Windows Mobile phone using Explorer on my Windows PC.
My issue lay with the fact that Windows Explorer apparently has to enumerate the contents of the /Windows/ directory and I have to wait five minutes to gain access to any file in that directory.
To my knowledge, a command-line interface will not enumerate the contents of a directory until you execute dir.
[edit]
I found this package of tools (cecopy.exe, cedel.exe, cedir.exe, ceexec.exe, cegetinfo.exe, cemkdir.exe, cereg.exe), but this isn't exactly what i was looking for.
[edit 2]
just found srego cecmd looks pretty good, but doesn't seem to work on Vista...
I previously posted on the wrong section, sorry, so I'm transferring it here.
Anyway, I want to know what programs I can use to make programs for HTC Raphael. Can I use Microsoft Visual Studio? Borland? I currently know how to use c and c++, do I need to use c# instead? And are the commands the same with the one on for the PC and for the PPC? So yeah any programs for programming on the desktop or on the PPC?
Thanks in advance!
yeah visual studio will do it
it support
1
.net compact framework for c# which is a subset of normal .net with some of the more fancy controls missing is normal .net programs from pc dont use anything missing in the compact framework they can run directly on the pocketpc unless the rest is not programmed to adjust (c#)
2
it support microMFC which is a pocketpc version of the old microsoft foundation classes
which was ms's object lib before .net (c/c++)
3
it support pure win32 api which again is a subset of the normal windows win32 api (c/c++)
performance wise 1 is lowest 3 is fastes
support in turms of having control without programming too many unmanaged hooks 3 is best 1 is worst
speed to get a project up and displaying something and having some functionality 1 is fastest 3 is worst
dont know about borland anymore guess they support compact framework
So if I make a program in c or c++, I can actually run it already on my PPC? If so, why does the .exe files on my PPC disallows me to run them on my desktop? Do I need to like convert the .exe file I made on my desktop to make it run on the PPC? If yes, is there any program out there to convert it to make it available for my PPC?
you have to run it using an emulator on your pc such as the one that comes with vs

if you have Visual Studio 2005 Pro, you can create a new "SmartDevice" project. This will take care of setting up almost everything you need. You can also later create a SmartDevice Cab project to create an cab for your program.
It is quite straightforward...try a simple hello world program to get used to it.
Hi,
Can someone PLEASE point me to some VB or C# code that monitors a directory and notifies when its contents have been changed (like files added).
Thanks,

I've been using WM devices for a while now, but just recently started getting a little more into hacking it.
Looking into the windows folder is a nightmare!!!
It reminds me of horribly designed websites, where the developer dumps ALL the files (images, scripts, html files) into the main directory. No sub folders to group like objects...
Is this how the windows folder has always looked like on WM devices? What a mess!
I am also disappointed in other developers (like HTC who have also dumped all the Manila HH* files in there, and others who just dump their images/exe's in there) in not taking some care to organize things a little... Shame on you. Is it that hard to create a few subfolders in the Program Files folder?
My thoughts exactly. It always takes an almost endless time for the file viewer to show the content of the Windows folder. "File explorer" is very slow, I use "GSFinder" now. Is there another program which is possibly faster than these two?
Hi All, I am new when it comes to windows mobile apps and I was wondering if anyone could help.
I have an application on my mobile which almost does everything I want. There are a few extra features I would like it to do and would like to have ago at creating them myself. Is there away that you can unpack a windows mobile app (like the exe file) to visual studio for editing or is this not possible?
Many Thanks
Windows Mobile EXEs are like any other windows executable files... These are binary compiled programs that you cannot just "edit" in a text editor.
If the program you want to modify is Open Source and if the software author allows to do so, then you'll have to modify the source, recompile the software and test it.
Basically, it's regular programming...
ok thanks for the help.
if it's .net then you can try giving reflector a go it can make .net exe's to c# code
Yup, but what you'll get won't always be understandable... If the software author obfuscated the code for example..
