Is there an application somewhere that will let you select an app (or app key, or whatever) and then go through the registry and show you ALL the entries associated with that app? Including links, settings, etc?
I think something like this would be useful for programs like Sashimi and such in that one can look at the reg entries for a particular app and get things like the reg key, etc. A lot of the time this info in stored deep in the registry and just looking at it doesn't tell you what it is. Having something to back-trace this info would be nice.
I don't think there is anything in SKTools to do this, is there?

I'm pretty sure memmaid does it "installed programs" but not installed on phone as use SKTools.
sktools will do this. It even analyzes cabs and shows you what reg entries it will make! very sweet! its buried in all the options somewhere but it does do it.
This is useful too:

Can I delete items from the desktop of my XDA. There is an Agile Messenger message there that I do not want and do not know how to remove it.
Thanks.
My expirience: many of apps requires registry cleaning...
system->today->item
uncheck the ones you dont want
otherwise you need to edit your registry to remove the items
All,
One thing that has always bugged me in Windows Mobile is the fact that "Remove Programs" isn't sorted alphabetically. Instead it is sorted by the order you have installed programs. If you ever restore from SPB Backup it then inverts this order as well.
Is there any registry settings or hack that can be done to sort this list alphabetically by default?
Thanks,
Jeff
I have installed agenda one on my TC and I want to use this as my default email app in the cube and elsewhere. The function within agenda one to set it as default doesnt seem to have the desired effect.
Is there a registry setting I can change or something please?

Hum. Agenda One isn't for the mail but for the Calendar and the Tasks. Try Flexmail . WebIS have just released the version 2008. I've tested it on my Polaris. It is excellent.
Hope it help.
Doh! I meant my calendar and task not email. Agenda One is a great calendar and task app for ppc and smartphone. In fact it makes the calendar finger tip friendly which the normal calendar isnt.
Does anyone know who to replace the links to make it be the default app when I click the links in the cube etc.
Is Flexmail better than the standard app. I have never thought there was that much wrong with that. Maybe I am missing something.

Well.. I saw that some people develop some "Touch customization" programs (do a search into the forum). I've tried one but can't install it (application not digitally signed. This even if I've unlock the option with Schaps Advanced config program).
Finally I've take my prefered registry editor (Resco registry) and do the modification by myself.
It is quite simple but, as usual, INSURE to do a full backup of your PPC before making any changes into the registry.
Here is the (manual) procedure to replace the calendar link with Agenda One (this action list assume that Agenda One is installed into the main memory of your Polaris):
Run you favorite registry editor
Open "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Open "Software"
Open "HTC"
Open "Biotouch"
Open "APLauncher"
Open "App5"
Click on the key "Path"
Replace the Value Data by \Program Files\Agenda One\Agenda One.exe
Click on "Finish" to save the data
Restart your Polaris (reset)
Of course, if you have installed Agenda One on your SD-Card, you'll have to modify the path by adding the "Storage Card" path before \Program Files\... at the point 9 into the action list. (result will be \Storage Card\Program Files\Agenda One\Agenda One.exe)
I've prepared the .reg file (if you don't want to use the registry editor).
Always assuming that the application is installed into the main memory of the PPC.
Click here to download it. Simply copy the file into your PPC and run it. The system will ask you to confirm the import into the registry. Simply click "OK". Restart your Polaris to validate the change.
Here is the list of registry keys to change the other shortcuts into the Launcher
Point 7 into the action list
App0 = Email
App1 = Internet Explorer
App2 = Comm Manager
App3 = SMS/MMS
App4 = Tasks
Now to answer your question about Flexmail and even if I haven't tested a lot of mail applications, it is definitively a better solution than the built in Pocket Outlook ! Especially in the way that you can configure it.
Another mail solution is Profimail who is also really good.
Hope it help.
Most PIM apps give you the option, either on install or later on to make the app the default for PIM. Why would you need to need to perform any type of reg hacks for this?

F.y.i, the default app option for PIM doesn't apply to the Biotouch AppLauncher. Then a manual modification should be done.
Thank you so much for the comprehensive description. I will do it now.
The app does have things to set it as default (as I said earlier) but although it has worked on other devices it doesnt work for the Touch Cruise cube interface. I will do it manually and email the developer who are very responsive to suggestions. Agenda One is worth the effort as the basic diary is c**p. I have no idea why MS are so incompetent at making software for their operating system.
Look at the Iphone Safari browser, not bad for a first attempt and miles better than any windows version, then again look at the diary on an iphone, that is also c**p.

I agree with your opinion about the quality/functionality of the default MS applications. But as for the PC Windows, MS is only providing "basic" applications and let the user choose (buy) the application that better feet their need.
Yes I am not bashing that approach and it works for me. I am all done now Agenda One is my default calendar app in everything I click. Thanks for the help.

Stuart,
I'm glad you sorted this out. I also use Agenda One. I have 2 requests if you have the time.
1) DeveloperOne (the author's of Agenda One) list as a known issue the fact that on some devices setting the Agenda One setting to make it the default calendar/contact app doesn't always work. I have filed a support issue but I hope the more people that do this might raise it in the priority list so it would be helpful if you filed an issue too. Yoy say "Agenda One is my default calendar app in everything I click". Is this true of the soft key at the bottom of the today screen? I have Agenda One set so that the startup view when it is launched is set to "Last View". If I hit the right soft key then I launch into Agenda One (AO) contacts view but if I exit it and then hit the left soft key it launches AO OK but it still starts it in contacts view and won't force it into calendar view. I think this is a bug (or feature deficiency). Do you see the same behaviour?
2) I think I have found a bug with AO and the Touch cube. (WARNING: If you want to try and reproduce this then be prepared to need to soft reset your device.) To reproduce then just bring up the touch cube and go to the contacts side of the cube. Hit the button at the bottom to take you to the contacts app and Agenda One should start. If you then try to re-launch the cube again then it comes up with all the 9 quick entries empty and my device got pretty flaky thereafter until I soft reset. Even if I exited AO after invoking it from the cube, went back to the Today screen, and then tried launching the cube again from the Today screen it still came up with blank entries for the 9 quick contacts. I think AO somehow messes something up if it is invoked via that button on the cube and most of the damage it does seems to be to the cube itself.

APLauncher key does not exist?...
Hi,
I want to change my default email application, however, when I went to the registry keys mentioned in the previous posts, I couldn't find the "ApLauncher" key under "BioTouch". I have an HTC Touch Viva (T2223), which doesn't have the cube TouchFlo, just the 2D version. Do you know if it is possible to edit the registry and change the default programs in that version of TouchFLO? I am not really worried about other default functions, just I want the TouchFLO mail icon to open my email client and NOT the Windows Mobile default.
I have the sprint touch pro.
TF3d shows an extra email account.
when I look at accounts, I see an account called "Outlook E-mail". The delete option is grayed out on this account, so I can't seem to delete it.
I've done some googling and it looks like SKTools will help remove this. But i can't find where in sktools it does this.
So before I mess something up, I figured I'd ask and see if someone else had this problem and how they fixed it.
In the hd2 i can't enter owner information, so impossible to add pre-owned software like resco explorer. any solutions?

No need to change anything in the registry.
It's very simple: just go to the contacts tab and press 'more'. At the top of your contacts list, there's an entry called 'me'. It's meant to be your 'business card' or something. Anyway, just fill in your details (or if you already have a contact entry for yourself, you can assign that to the 'me' card).
The name and e-mail adress you enter here will automatically (and secretly) be used as owner info.
I could register Resco Explorer just fine, without ever bringing the original owner info settings back.
Thanks a lot...

I wonder if it works the other way around as well. I mean, if you change your owner info to your nick in the registry (or by using the 'old' owner settings icon), does that affect the name you entered in the 'me' business card?

yes... the "me" is only a shortcut to that data on the registry.
edit .
Nothing of all these tips works for me.
I can't register some applications that base their register upon the owner info (like hicalc)
Maybe someone knows the registry entries that stores the owner info?
Thanks.
Nacho Garcia.
In the Me contact I had both first and last name filled out. Found that the registration name (owner) was both names without a space in between! This foxed me for a while but registration worked once I realised.
problem solved with the "Touch X show owner.cab" from the thread:

Thanks to all.
Just an FYI, Owner info is located in the registry under; HKCU\Control Panel\Owner

what if you don't have that reg key?
Install BsBTweaks, which is free. Once installed, tick the "Owner Info - Show or hide the Owner Info in settings." button.
Then in Sense, go to the "Settings" tab. In the bottom bar you have an option to "Show all settings", That will take you to the settings page where you will now find "Owner Information" settings.
HTC really should have made it easier to find.
