ActiveSync Backup Directory - General Questions and Answers

19.04.:
moved this to a different subforum

I think I need to rephrase the question as some more digging has established that ActiveSync indeed does not allow you to change the location for the backup directory.
The question then is:
What is the consensus for the best 3rd party SW? Some posts on the net were recommending Easy Sync; any comments?
Thanks again
-------------------------------------------------
Hello here !
I wonder if I am missing something but the SW won't allow me to change the location on the desktop of the backup directory for file synchronization.
That is, I can change it through the Registry, but only within "My Documents".
Does this mean I have to switch off the sync for "Files" and do it manually?
Thanks for your help

Recovering Terminal services client program after deleted it

I accidentally deleted the terminal services client shortcut. I think the program is in the windows directory called termsclient.exe or something like that but I was unable to locate it Is it in the main ROM (not accessible unless do a hard reset or extended ROM?). Can anyone attach the program to their reply and save me a hard reset?
?
Thanks all,
David
Hi,
It's called "MSTSC40.EXE", it's located in Windows and it's in Main ROM. Simply make a new shortcut to it and place it in Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
Hope this is of help.

thanks!

Add/Remove program list after activesync upgrade

After upgrading ActiveSync from v4.2 to v4.5, I can no longer see the list of PocketPC software located on my PC which can be installed on the PocketPC via ActiveSync.
What can I do to see them again in the Add/Remove Program list ?
cf. screenshot (only the software installed on the PocketPC are listed, what I do to have the PocketPC software located on my PC again ?)
Thanks for any help !
if you install them again on the pc they should show up
though it say they are already installed on ppc and if you want to leave it alone just say yes

The problem is that I already have lots of PocketPC application on my PC that I would like to install on my PocketPC... but I can not longer do that via Activesync because I can not see these programs in the 'Add/Remove programs' list
Not sure if this helps you... But check this out
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AppMgr\Apps\
I've had a problem once, that my ActiveSync didn't want to install any apps to the smartphone again. So I searched in the damn registry and I found huge list of old applications which I uninstalled. So I removed from registry the old orphaned keys, and somehow AS allowed me to install again.
This registry key shows all the apps which are installed via ActiveSync. To say it little easy - what you see in ActiveSync should be also in the registry.
or reinstall them on the pc then they will show up no matter what will not take up more hd space as it will overwrite the old entries

OK, so now I understand where all these information are located.
Unfortunately the above registry key was empty on my computer
Everything as been removed by ActiveSync automatic upgrade
Thanks for your information. Next I will be smarter, and make a registry export before

Activesync reg file locations

Where in the registry would I find the locations for the activesync settings (server/user name/password etc)?
Is this device specific?
Since I flash my device a lot I would like to be able to store those settings in the XDA_UC folder on my storage card, if that's even possible.
I found the locations for the user settings for HTC Sense in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager]
if that's helpful to anyone.
Sorry if this is a repost but I couldn't find this anywhere by searching for it.

PC tool to expord HD2 registry in XML

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!

Have another Thanks from me for this, man... let me find some very useful things.
BTW, the XML file in the CAB appears to be standard provxml format; I just opened it in notepad, copied the pieces I wanted into another file, made a few changes, renamed it CustClear.provxml, and loaded it with Connection Setup. Worked great!
Thank you. drkfngthdragnlrd
@drkfngthdragnlrd
Is this registry pulled from your phone or from a cooked ROM you flashed? Is there a way to dump the registry from a Mango phone itself? Thanks

They were from my phone. I had a stock ROM & upgraded to 7720.68 via the leaked method here on XDA. I than, copied out all the RGU's in \Windows\ of my phone. I merged all these RGU's into 1 large file & imported it into WinCE CAB Manager. Being as they are RGU's this is not the full registry. There are some values that aren't written till after first boot/run by the executables of WP7. I'd say this CAB is 90+% of all the registry.

Excellent! Another question; I am really after my exchange activesync registry keys; do you know if these are in any of the RGU files (I am thinking not)? When you add an account (be it POP3, IMAP4, EAS) does this get generated with an RGU that is accessible?
P.S. I have been using the 30day demo of WinCE CAB Manager and love how it shows the tree structure of your file. Was there any particular trick to merging the RGUs?

I'm not sure about the Active sync thing. I'd assume they get written once you set up your email accounts. You could look, I have no clue of the top of my head, not something I looked into.
As for merging the RGU's, I used Visual Studio, but you can use any text editor to open them. My only suggestion is to pay close attention & make sure you copy & paste correctly. Also, you only need the first line "REGEDIT 4.0 or something like that once. So don't copy the extra entries from the other RGU's.

I copied all .rgu from my phone to my PC, renamed them all to .reg, and then used WinCE CAB Manager to import each one and presto, I have a nice registry and viewer (then just save as a CAB project)!

Yeah, it's nice to have a use for WinCE CAB Manager in WP7 as it's no longer useful for creating CAB's that are installable.
@drkfngthdragnlrd - I did this on NoDo for a start (easy to get RGU to PC) but how did you go about it in Mango? I was reading along in the other thread where there were discussions about this but nothing clearly stated.

I used TouchXplorer to copy the files into an app's Isolated Store & than used [APP 2011-08-20][BETA] WP7AppBackup - Backup / Restore third party app data to back-up the app data. Than you just look inside the back-up files.
