I appreciate this is a total newb question but the search facility is bringing me no joy.
I want to add a theme to change the SPB look. I have downloaded the rar file but it will not extract on my PC. I have copied the file into the SPB program folder and I can see the files when I click on the rar file but don't understand how to extract them to the main SPB folder???
I'm sure there's something really easy i'm missing but my head hurts now. Anyone help me please?
Cheers

The themes file are .tsk. You should extract those RAR files in your PC and then copy those .tsk file to your memory card but don't put in folder in memory card. After that go to settings--->today and you will see those themes, select the one you like and click ok. It will be changed to that.
Hope it will help.
For some reason the rar file will not extract on my PC. Any ideas?

Why you should not be able to extract .rar files. I think may be your rar file are corrupt? Please download again. What rar program you use to extract? You can use 7zip which is free.
Please can anyone upload the camera.lnk file located at window/Start Menu/Program. Because i accidently deleted the file. Thanks
You can easily do it yourself. Go into the windows directory in file explorer, and copy the exe. Then go to the directory you mentioned, tap and hold and put "copy shortcut."
Thanks a lot. It really works.
Hi there, I just bought a new HTC 2 Pro and upgrade to 6.5, so now I want to install a few application that I download from here but all I see is files and a setup.xml, there is no .cab file on it. Can some body tell how can I work this out.
Thank You.
What kind of files besides the xml? What were you trying to install?
Does the file you download appear as a .zip when you find all the files (like _setup.xml)? Your internet browser might be renaming the .cab extension on the downloaded files to .zip. When you're looking at the file you downloaded on your computer, does it show up with the extension .cab or .zip (does it look like a filing cabinet or a zipped folder)? If the file with _setup.xml inside it shows up as a ZIP file, rename the extension to .cab, place it on your device somewhere, and open it with File Explorer Mobile (on your device). You're likely opening the cab file one way or another
Thank you for your replys. I am trying to install (Srub) in my phone. when I extrac the files to a folder all I see is _setup.xml, 000scrub.000, 000scrub.001 and thats it. So do I have to rename one of this to .cab? if it is which one is?
my money is on the file you extracted those files from
rename that to cab
Problem Resolve, I upgrade to the later Rom (EnergyROM Leo! Landscape and Documents!) and this rom have an application named (Pocket Rar) so I just create a folder inside my Doc and launch the .cab from there. I love it!!! Thank You all for your help.
Hello, I have downloaded a zip file through IE. Where I can find it ?
Thank you
There isnt a specific place... each app has its own isolated storage where it keeps their files.
You should be able to open that ZIP file from the browser and it will show you the files within... if they are recognised file types by WP7, it will let you run them.
But that's it, you have no file manager you can goto and fetch that saved file.
PS: well, you have... but I'm unsure if TouchXplorer is still working or not.
Thanks for this, but how can i delete it if I can't find it? I use the TouchXplorer...
I am concerning about the phone memory.
Generally, files downloaded through IE are stored in temporary memory and will be erased after a certain amount of time.
I ran into the same problem today. luckily i hit the windows button so all I have to do is hit the back button to reach the zip file again. Kind of frustrating when you dont have a file explorer and no other way to reach the file you just downloaded
Q. Whats Bluestacks?
A. Bluestacks is a Silicon Valley-based software company that produces BlueStacks App Player and BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Both products revolve around enabling Android applications to run on Windows PCs, Macintosh computers and Windows tablets. The company was founded in 2009 by Rosen Sharma, former CTO at McAfee and board member of Cloud.com.
Steps To Find SD Card in your PC
First Download 'Root Explorer' (Included Below) and Install 'Root Explorer' in Bluestacks
Decide on which directory to give access in BlueStacks. You can either choose an entire hard drive, or a particular folder of your choice.
Access the Windows Registry by going to Start >> Run and type in 'regedit' and hit Enter. This opens up the Registry Editor.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ SharedFolder\0.
Right Click on 'Path' and click on 'Modify'.
Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card. (Example C:\SDCard)
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
You can find the folder at '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/'
Note
If u don't wanna change your Registry, You can simply copy and paste the file's that you want in SD Card at 'C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\' and find the files at above location in Root Explorer (ie '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/').

Open Root Explorer and go to one of the following location.
(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
(Root)/mnt/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
If it still not working then reply with the screen shot of root explorer (in /bstfolder)
"Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card"
What do you mean?
Anyways... I wanted to find and open the obb folder. How?

There is no such folder "User data" in "C/program files/bluestack/".
I want to install game data. What to do?
I have installed root explorer & running latest blue stack. Installed yesterday only.
****************************************************
UPDATE : Let it bro. I change the registry & that solved the problem.
Actually i dont want to do that. But, couldn't wait to play games....
you guys should really read more than write. Just like OP said if you dont want to modify registry then just goto
C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\
and paste your file there
Shared Folder problam
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ Shared Folder\0

YEAH! Finally found it again! Thanks mate
Has anyone noticed that this shared folder has limited functionality when trying to transfer files from Bluestacks to the PC? It seems like if I try to copy something larger than ~300 megabytes Bluestacks will freeze up. Titanium backup is also unable to successfully use that shared folder as a backup location (also freezes up). I'm trying to find a good way to sync my app data (or at least transfer the Titanium Backup backups to my PC). Any ideas?
How to copy file from window to Bluestack or Bluestack to window
1) download and intall root explorer on your phone
2) go from your computer
3) My Documents/Downloads and paste there any files
4) now open root explorer n go to this path: sdcard/windows/documents/downloads
5) you will find your file under "Downloads"
so the folder "Downloads" is the only path through which files can be transferred between window(computer) and bluestack..
i cant find the iserdata folder in c:/programefiles/bluestacks
