Lost .dll file association, need help urgently please!

I was trying to copy shellresapps.192.dll file in the windows folder to my memory card so i can use the program 'Resource Hacker' to take a look at it, because it contains the wait cursor animation and i want to try edit it. However, it seems all the system files in the windows folder can't be copied or moved or renamed AT ALL. I checked the properties and unticked the read only option as well as other option, but whenever i press ok it doesn't apply the setting, so then i clicked the 'Associate' tab and unregister any file association with the shellresapps.192.dll file and hoping that i'll be able to rename or copy the file this time, but it doesn't do anything. And since i was careless, i didn't check the file path or the file of what the file association with the .dll file is, so now it seems all the .dll files are not registered with any program that it should be.....
i'm using EnergyROM and i did this in Total Commander. Can someone please kindly look at the file association for the shellresapps.192.dll file for me?? Just go to properties and choose the "Associate" tab.
And can someone also tell me how to copy or rename the system files??

Ok, first off the .dll you wanted to copy out is not a file, it's a module. You can't copy them out of the rom to your sd card with total commander. You can do this with rom files, but not rom modules (I'll let you look up the difference). There is an app called 'romextractor.exe' that allows you to copy modules out. You might try doing it that way.
Anyway, the rest of your post gave me a headache, so I only barely read it. I kind of doubt you deleted the association for dll's (I don't even see an association on TC), but here's the reg key you may need. Check first to see if it was messed up.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dll]
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
@="dllfile"
Cut and paste into a .txt file, name it and change the extension to .reg and import it if you need to.

i think i got it sorted by associating the .dll files with shell32.exe or something like that. You can check the association of a file by using Total Commander, right click on any file u want to check and go to properties. There you will see 2 tabs at the top, and one of them is Association, there you can choose to associate with anything as well as clicking on the X button to delete the association.

Yeah, I know, I'm just saying that I don't have an association for .dll's. You don't really need one with a .dll, because it's not a file that you open up for anything. You can change the icon to something else, though. I think you just need the registry key I posted, but I doubt that you changed it.

Sense 2.5 + comm manager help

I have Sense 2.5 installed on my phone and comm manager, but the wifi switch does not work, is there a fix for this? if there is could anyone uplaod it?

Go to key in registy "HKLM\Software\Drivers\WLAN" and copy the value from 'AdapterName" string. Now go to key in registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN" and edit "DeviceName" string. You see there value like this: "{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511". Delete the last part of this value ("TNETW12511") and past the value "AdapterName" which you copy at end. Make soft reset and that is all. Now Wifi button on your device should work properly

use "ce registry editor". downloadable here:http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/
if you are using windows 7, use compatibility mode (windows xp)

Access Denied!!

Really hoping this isn't one of those annoying noob questions, just spent an hour searching but can't find the answer.
Earlier today I decided to have my first go at modifying a .dll file (shellres.dll.0409) just a minor change to some of the display text. Managed to extract it (using Windows Explorer) unsign it, make the change, resign it, and overwrite it by copying it to my SD Card and pasting into Windows with RescoExplorer. All good.
Unfortunately, after a soft reset, my phone (HD2 stock 1.66 ROM) got stuck at the windows screen while booting. Tried reset 2 or 3 times but the only thing I could do was a hard reset.
Phone is now back to stock and working fine so I thought I would have another go at changing the .dll file.
I now can't even extract the file.
Dragging it to the desktop (which worked earlier) using Windows explorer gives an "Access Denied" error message. Copying it with RescoExplorer and trying to past it to the SD Card also gives the same "Access Denied" message??
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or what has changed?

How to delete a registry value with a .reg file?

Hi XDA ppl,
How to delete a registry value with a .reg file? The standard hyphen approach doesn't seem to work. I tried it like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItem"=-
This should delete the TestItem but it refuses to do so. Does anyone knows the trick?

I don't know how to do it with a reg key, but you can do it this way with a mortscript:
Code:
RegDelete("HKLM","\Software\Test","TestItem")

here you go!

Sounds odd! can you tell me the heading of your provxml file? it is xml or provxml? what tool do you use to import? can you post the actual code of the file?

Hi, usually I create a cab file from .reg files with CeRegEditor (ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl). If I create new keys/ values everything works just fine. Just deleting doesn't work.
In the end I installed the kilmist registry editor trial to double check cause it can import .reg files directly, but its the same problem: deleting doesn't work.
Here the exact code of the files I tried:
-- File 1: create a test key with 2 values... works fine ------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItemOne"=dword:00000001
"TestItemTwo"=dword:00000001
-- File 2: try to delete 1 value... fails ---------------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItemOne"=-
-- File 3: try to delete the whole key... fails too ----------------------
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]

your files seem ok.
while you find th solution I recommend to add postxml to your cab to delete the unwanted keys. nocharacteristic and nopar should allow you to delete whatever needed.
two hints: check the encoding of the files and check the order. make one cab for the additions and another for the substractions just in case the cab tries to delete the key before it is created. sorry i can not help more !! please, pm when you find what was it

Try:
Save your .reg file as Unicode not ANSI, start your .reg file with
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
In the first line. And leave one blank empty line at the end of the .reg file.
Did it work?

Nope, doesn't work either.
I put Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 in the first line, encoded it 8-bit unicode and made sure theres a blank line at the end (always did that). all to no avail.
Btw, I'm running WM 6.1 on a TP2. I really wonder if its working at other phones / WM versions, or this is a "universal" problem.
thx anyway, Tobias

Where does Resco File Explorer store its serial/license number

As I flash my HD2 weekly (sometimes more frequently ) I try to adapt my program cabs with my settings and my registration info. This way I don't have to adjust my program settings and registrationinfo manualy. This saves a lot of time when flashing a new rom.
For most programs this is working perfect but for the resco program's I can't find the registration info in the register. Does anyone know where Resco File Explorer stores its serial/license number?

you could try kheb, maybe it'll help

Thanks, I will try it.

Hi. Just have a look into your registry (use CeRegEditor or sth.). Have a look there for HKCU/Software/Resco, or HKLM/Software/Resco - somewhere you'll find the entry that saves your reg-info. I found it for every program that I bought and use (and these are quite a lot). If you won't find it within the registry, then you will have to backup your whole program-folder as it can also contain registration-info.

Hi.
Resco Serials are stored in a file. Go in Windows Dir and copy the File wmtrigger.dat. After you flash new Rom you must install Resco Programs and then copy the file into the Windows dir. Now your Programs are registered. Make it all the time with Sashimi and everything works fine

most keys are stored in the registry dude... what i do to avoid re-registering all my apps and games... i use the registry editor plugin by resco, search the registry for all the serials after i entered them, then copy the key to the storage card.... transfer the key to my desktop, then import the key to the cab using WinCE cab manager... this way you wont have to manually restore the keys all over again... i save myself this trouble bcos i have over 30 apps and games
i also did this with resco file man...

Hi,
Thanks this is working. It works for all the resco programs which are using the owner info of the device. Essential is also to put the owners name in your device. I've made a cab with the wmtrigger.dat + the owner info and this is working perfect now.
Thanks again for the info.
