I have a cemail.vol file that I need to restore onto my replacement PDA (same OS)
I have done a search on this & have not come across a solid answer.
Can this be achieved by mortscript during startup from soft reset ?
Can I unhook cemail via registry changes ?
Any help would be great.
Most threads I come across had 50/50 results/opinions.
Someone must have an easy solution to this !
Thanks,

looking at "\windows\startup" folder will solve the problem if I understood right
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I thought so, too, but nothing about the missing .exe file is listed/mentioned in the windows\startup directory. :?
Did you check the contents of the links? Maybe one of them leads to the missing exe.
If not, get a registry editor (like PHM) and check the content of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Inint key.
BUT BE CAREFUL!
Deleting the wrong value from this key will lead to hard reset!
Get hold of a copy of MemMaid. http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14279
It will work under evaluation for 30 days.
When you have it installed, look at the "Notification Queue" - in here are the tasks that are started when a particular event occurs - such as waking up from suspend mode.
Thanks for the info, guys! I wound up hard-reseting it, anyway - I had played with a lot of different software and had a lot of "remnants" on it, but knowing where to look in the register and learning about memaid will be useful later.
Thanks again...

Ok, So with more hours spent trawling the site with a little help, I figured out which files I need to change to have different colours for switches on the comm manager but, how the *!$&@@@@**%$£"" do you change file marked as;
Read only
System
ROM
Winmo file explorer cannot do it
Total commander cannot do it
Resco changes the name, win mo chucks a **** fit and then changes the name back to stock
Windows explorer cannot do via active sync
So, how do I rename the original (so I can revert back should I need to) and copy the modified?
Beer tokens at the ready!
Thanks for reading
(PS, I know this has been covered a number of times, but I think I've covered the solutions provided so far in the above)
Checked out how to make a cab file, made it, installed it, sorted.
Hi all,
I previously had a Hermes where there was a little tool to change the soft-keys at the coners of the screen to to applications of your choice.
Either I did not look to find the tool in the Raphael or it does not exist in the HTC standard ROM. Is there any tool to use for changein the soft-keys?
Thanks for support.
Best Regards
Rolf

put this fil in ur windows folder and voila...
in settings u can change the softkeys
Thanks, it works as expected until TouchFlo ist started . When TouchFlo is running, the keys automatically swich to left: Telephone, right: programms. I dont find a way to change that. Any suggestions?
Best Regards
Rolf
This is what I, found it in the diamond forum.
just change hklm\software\htc\manila its not hard. homelsk options for the left softkey and homersk for the right. path and text.
Hi Jack,
thanks, the solution works , even with touch-flo. I could put the calendar as soft key. Do You know the name of the file where the contats are stored?
Best Regards
Rolf
dont trust me too hard on this im doing it from memory, but... set your path to "\Windows\poutlook.exe" and your argument to "contacts". without quotes on both of course.
Hi Jack,
thanks, I will try this tomorrow, today I forgot my mobile in the office :-(.
Result: I tried it and nothing happened, no contacts shoowing up or any error-msg. So it should be an other file I guess. Do you have any idea?
Best regards
Rolf
i was wondering why that wouldnt work and i tried it on mine and it does. you can check your spelling for any typos or whatever but it should work. no quotes, no caps on contacts, \'s not /'s. hope you can get it working.
If you install the cab i posted you dont need to edit the registry, just select the app you want the link on the soft key to be and click save.
alot of people like to do it themselvs or dont like extra apps. ill check it out and see what it does later.
Hi,
so I tried again the manila cab that was postet above. Well, it works fine, I just cannot find the "contacts" in there which I like to set as left soft-key. The "calendar" setting works fine either as direct setting in the HKLM or using the cab.
I also tried again to start the poutlook.exe directly out of the file-explorer and in contrast to the start of the calendar, nothing happened. So it must be any other file to start ???
Also I tried to link the "kontakte" (a small link-file) directly in HKLM, but got an error-msg telling me that the file does not have the required security-attributes or whatsoever.
I will keep on searching but happy for any adviece.
Berst Regards
Rolf
Problem is being discuss in these threads, but still without a solution:
Here + Here + Here + Here + Here + Here
I had this problem where, inexplicably, the wmplayer failed to open.
Threads more like this problem are identified above.
After many steps to be able to identify the origin and solution, today was the big day that could resolve this error. I will explain:
PROBLEM:
wmplayer don't start : when click in start menu icon => nothing happens; try to play a media file (p.ex, open it inside file explorer) => nothing hapens, and so on...
CONSEQUENSES:
Although you can install another media player to listen to music, this was not the solution because without wmplayer is not possible to hear the sounds of system notifications (for example, warning sms, reminders, ...) and, worse, it is not possible to reproduce your ringtone on a phone call.
A hard-reset was the solution, but after a few days tweaking my device... bummm!!! the problem back again (and the hard work to reinstall many apps after a HR)
CAUSE:
The cause of this "fk..." problem is very simple: the system has a temporary folder for some apps : by default : "\Application Data\Volatile".
If you delete this folder (manually or with any clean manager app) the wmplayer don't start/run. The folder content can be deleted any time, but the folder itself not.
This temp folder is set in registry key : [HKLM\System\FileSys\TempPath]
By my experience, almost all apps that use this folder to cache temp data are able to create it if don't exist, but wmplayer not, so if this folder was not previously present WMP don't run (and the WMP built-in engine to play system notificatins/ringtone also not)
HOW TO SOLVE:
2 options :
- Easy : manually create the folder name "Volatile" inside "\Application Data" folder (names without ""). After that, wmplayer is back again
- Not for newbies : edit registry key [HKLM\System\FileSys\TempPath] and set a path that exist in your device and soft-reset.
Personally, I prefer to set a folder in which I'm sure that no any app clean manager will erase it. So, I set the root folder "\Application Data" for temporary temp folder for some apps in above registry key.
For newbies, I made the attached .cab that do it : just install and soft reset.
Thanks for the findings.
Thanks so much...
thank you SO MUCH for the cab file - this just happened to me yesterday and i was considering getting a whole new phone (BJ II is a couple years old and figured if i was going to have to do a hard reset, might as well just get a new phone). but this worked like a charm! every other site says hard reset, including every other mention of this on this forum. amazing. this has been going on for people since the BJ II first came out a couple years ago, so i'm glad you came up with a fix!!!
very good
best solution.
thanks mate
great solution, thanks
I was going to hard reset my Touch Pro, but it helped
BTW, it's strange, but I had Volatile folder on my device with some temp files in it, WMP began to work after emptying that folder
anyway, thank you again
thanks a ton!!!!
Hey, Finally a solution for this prob... thnx buddy.. this is great.....
appreaciate your hard work....
thank you... your solution helped me!
Thank you thank you !!!
I got this issue: wmplayer won't start and when wmplayer don't work: no more ringtones for calls, no more wake up alarm, etc.
After reading this thread i went to my volatile directory. I had 999 ! folders in this "volatile" folder. After deleting all 999 items wmplayer work again.
This is a BUG from microsoft !!! I mean why these temporary folders are just emptied but not deleted after use ???
This is the best solution.
I already have the Volatile folder and after clearing all the files inside this folder, its back to its usual form.
Great! Thanks!
PERFECT!! I can't believe it was so simple
wow thanks a lot!
you saved me a lot of trouble.
Congratz xkaiser and thank you!
1 Question: How the f*** did you find that this was the problem...??? (actually the source of the problem)
It worked
Many thanks. It worked perfectly! I cannot believe it was so easy.
Thanks xkaiser
Joined the forum just to download your fix and it worked perfectly.
I've been having the problem for over half a year now and just kept hard resetting my bj2 to get my ringtones back.
Download his file, transfer to your phone and double click to run on it. Problem solved!
Awsome
xkaiser- you are the man! I've done many hard resets to fix this problem. Thanks a ton. IT works great!
Thank you so much for posting the registry edits and even more thanks for the cab file! I HATE hard-resetting my phone and this prevented me from having to take that step.
Xkaiser! Thanks!!!
Gave a warning on my BJII that the app was for an older version of the WM phone. Still worked great - THANKS!!! You are the Man.

Hi im new to this forum and im not too sure how to use the file and get it too run on my phone too fix the problem. thankyou for your help. im so close to a solution but i cant figure it out =(
I forgot to mention that the "volatile" is not in "application data"
NVM lol I did it!
Wow! Thanks!
Me too! Can't believe it was so simple!!
Thanks for figuring it out!
in old good times when i had Touch HD somwhere on XDA (not in HD thereads) i found a PC software that was able to connect to PDA (probaly via activesync i guess) and read the registry.
than it was possible to export selected portions of the registry to PC in XML format. that was useful to automate resotre of certain settings like WiFi, connections and email accounts after hard reset or rom flash
now i lost the software and can not nither recall the name nor find it in the forum.
if you came accross one - please let me know where i can find it again.
many thanks!

i use soft CeRegEditor
cheer!
