Somehow, my wife deleted opera from her phone. I don't know how she did it, I think she was playing in the File Explorer. Anyway, the Opera folder was gone as well as another folder called MDS.
Possible to re-install Opera as it should be without having to do a hard reset?
thx!!

Backup the PIM stuff (contacts etc...) and do a hard reset.
i doubt its gone since its in the rom. she may have deleted the shortcut. otherwise try a newer version (search here for opera)
Thanks for the answer guys. Ended up having to do a hard reset.
Thanks again!
in future, you may just seach teh forum for the CAB file for the missing application...
is is a lot painless than hard reset.
Gotcha. Thanks for that. I did look through the thread about new opera versions and such, but it got a bit too confusing... so I just did the reset, but will try to do that in the future.

So after uninstalling and reinstalling TCPMP a couple of times, I seem to have screwed my default file associations for media files. Anyone have a good way of reseting them without losing all my data?
Does anyone have a dump of their HKCR hive that I could borrow? ugh

Note that it contains a lot of additional HKCR entries. I tried very hard to delete all the non multimedia-related keys but there still are. Therefore, you'll want to clean up the file before deploying and ONLY leave associations that are definitely set by TCPMP.
Wow! Thank you so much! You've saved me having to hard reset my phone!
Wow, I didn't post the question, but had the same problem with Core Player. Screwed everything up... Thanks so much!

I know it can be deleted because I deleted it from mine. I don't remember how exactly I did it, though.
From what I can remember...
If you go to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FavoritesEntries there are Keys for all of the IE Favorites.
Click on the one for MEdia Net and delete the ReadOnly entry.
Then you should be able to remove it from the IE favorites.
For that matter, you can probably just delete the MEdia Net key altogether and skip a step but I didn't try that.
Super. I deleted the entire folder and away it went. Thanks. That seemed so easy!
May sound dumb, but where are they? Found IE favorites (pretty easy) but where are the opera book marks?
I want to manually back everything up, cold boot and start over. Want all the data off to drag back on after reset.
Thanks.
Ever hear of Google? Search?
Anyhow, they are in windows/opera/. A file called opera9
I did google search, and it kept giving me an adr file which isn't on my machine, or the Opera forum which actually said you can't move bookmarks from one phone to another with "mini."
I'll look for the file you posted.

That would be the Opera6.adr file.
Windows/Opera9/Opera6.adr.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. Amazing that you would look for an opera 6 file for an Opera 9 program. Even more amazing is that Opera wants to be big in browsing, but they make it so difficult to back up, move, or import bookmarks/favorites. As much crap as Microsoft gets, at least they made it simple with a favorites folder. Migration is a snap.
Thanks again, polite and no stupid donate button for an insulting, wrong reply.
Somehow I lost the Internet Globe icon from Sense Internet tab. It only displays Launch Browser text now. Any ideas how to get it back? Wouldn't want to Hard Reset for that. Thanks!

Thanks but I need the original one!
Nevermind, made a Hard Reset.
i had the same issue when i have tryed to change it,you need to use cfc_gui to change the manila files or the icon is blank,this is the only way i think.

The thing is that I didn't try to change it. It was just gone after I have deleted something in Application Data\HTC so there's the source somewhere.
I know i'm dragging this post from the dead, but i managed to do the same thing, now I only have the launch browser text.
I was using sk tools and I think it deleted the wrong registry setting.
any ideas?
EDIT: I have fixed the problem
SK tools had deleted a manilla file which I found by searching for 'banner'
i think it was in hklm\software\htc\manila
However, I have found an option for internet banner image in the registry and the string links to a folder i cannot find using resco explorer
any explanation?

I was using SKTools too back when I had that problem and I think it appeared after a Registry Cleaning I applied.
I figured searching for a solution is more time consuming than a Hard Reset and I just did that. Gave up on SKTools but will try again since I've read it now fully supports HD2: http://pocketnow.com/software-1/new-sktools-44715-adds-hd2-and-omnia-ii-support
Any solution?
Do you guys have any solution to this? Same problem after using SKTools. I don't want to hard reset for such a small issue.
[SOLVED] Lost Globe Icon
I solved the problem as follows for anybody that might encounter the same problem. It seems SKTooks made a backup for all registry keys that it deletes, so there is a file called "Software_HTC_Manila_Internet.BannerImage.rgb" in \My Documents\registrybkp. Just run that file again to recover the globe.
Currently using SPB backup, no problems until now but lately becoming very slow, now it says backup file too large for recovery so was looking around for alternaives.
Ive searched the forums, and can find alternatives like Sprite etc but i was after some opinions from those who have actually used other apps besides SPB backup, any comments welcome, thanks.
Try this one
I use this one and it's verry good,try it - PimBackup
I have used sprite with my last few phones and PDA without any problems
Currently using the version that came on the memory card
Here is the link for PimBackup2.8
rapidshare.com/files/191036103/PPCPimBackup2.8__run_from_phone_.exe
Just coppy and run.
Enjoy!

I just tried sprite and it killed my phone. It said backup file index error, the phone then soft resetted and would come back on. HTC sense was stuffed up and then the home screen would appear with no clock, weather etc, just the slider icons. Another weird thing it said i had 99 unread emalis and sms's. when i opened them it said i had 99 messages from a William Bartle, no such name in my contacts lol. Had to hard reset and luckily a recent backup i did worked.
After all that i realised i used Sprite for windows 6.0, it obviuosly makes a big difference not using the 6.5 one lol.
Thanks
thanks everyone else for their replies, will have to thy the pimbackup option out.

Hi again,
Can you confirm if its a complete backup program. I just tried it and had all options ticked but the size of the backup is 1697k yet when i used SPB it was much slower and approx 95mb.
ie/ after a hard reset id like to click on the backup file to restore it exactly how it was, themes, apps, sms's everything etc. Not just my appointments, contacts etc.
Can this program do this?
Resco Back up
I used this with my TYTNII. It was a little hit and miss and at times slooooowww!
Loaded onto my HD2...YEAH!! Goes like the clappers and never misses a beat. It has saved me twice after a hard reset following over-ambitious tweaking
There is a trial available from Handango and all the usual sites.
Good Luck!

Cheers mate, i have just downloaded and giving it a go now.
** yeah it works well, didnt give me the same errors that SPB just started giving me. Overall compression smaller as well, backup file was about 77mb vs 98mb using SPB yet same apps,settings etc. I havent tried a restore yet but im sure it will work, thanks for the tip.

After using i noticed the backup isnt a single file but many files. When you did a restore, i was wandering you did you load the file. ie/ SPB is a single file so after a hard reset and no apps are installed you just use file exp and select it. With Resco i cant see which file to load, it seems that you have to use Resco to restore but after a hard reset Resco isnt installed. Did you have to install this after your hard reset to be able to restore your backups?
Anyone know the answer to this one? Seeing a hard reset removes everything, how can you restore a backup using Resco if its not a single file to run like SPB backup.
Thankfully havent had to do this yet but just wanted to know from others using it.

When you set it up it writes the program in a smaller form to the micro SD. You must navigate to the folder in explorer on hard reset and launch. I would do a restore using the "SELECT" items tab - selecting all items. Doing a "FORCED" with "FULL RESTORE" was no good.
As I have it set-up for doing a daily "update" there is only one file. You can do a full daily b'up but you'll need plenty of chip room as the files are reasonably big. It does however act more like a system restore point in this case allowing restore to previous time points rather than just the most recent back-up.
Hope this helps

Hi Davej,
Appreciate the reply. I have had to do a full restore but thanks for the tip re: using Select, will use next time. Sorry for the dumb question but when you navigate to the folder, how do you launch or execute tihs. There are hundreds of files in the folder so i dont know how to launch it. With SPB it was easy being just 1 file, can you advise?

Yes. Rexboy. Don't plummet to far into the folders. Using Explorer navigate to the folder on the SD card called "RescoBackup". It will contain a folder with all the compacted backup files AND a standalone "RescoBackup" app. Launch the app and off you go!! Too Easy!
Ciao Bro'
