Looking for profile(s) XML files - WM 6.1 - General Questions and Answers

I've tried looking in \Application Data\Profiles\ but the Profiles folder isn't there. I've tried using 2 different programs on my PPC to browse, and I also used my PC, so it definitely isn't there.
I also tried changing the profile to see if it would be created after the change, but it wasn't.
Anyone know where the profile XML files are located on Windows Mobile 6.1?

Problem! Unpacking .CAB Files

I was just updating my I-mate SP5m with some new programs....
I tried to unpacking a WMP skin. It asked me to choose a program to open the .CAB file, so I chose Window's Media Player (my stupidity)
Now I can't open .CAB Files. It automatically try’s to open ALL .CAB FILES WITH WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER...
How do I fix this problem?
PLEASE HELP ME
(sorry I posted in the Tornado forums, but I hope to get faster help here)

I'm going to assume that you're talking about Windows XP. Just open up your Edit menu and take a peek in Folder options. There ought to be something in there about file associations. I'd be more specific, but it's been eons since I've tinkered around with Windows.
No its on a Smartphone... It should automaticly un-compress it self and install, but all it does is opens windows media player. This is for any .CAB file at the moment
PLEASE HELP!
i suspect a hard reset would do it but if you want to avoid that..
found this page which discusses the subject but seems to be based on pocket pc, if you have a registry editor it might be worth checking out the keys they mention in case they are there on your phone. also like they say resco explorer can change the association.

I'll keep looking and post if i find an easy way of fixing this.

Windows TSD Files?

Under WM 6.5 in the Windows directory I find "Hidden Store/Tasks" that contains a large number of files of the kind *.tsd - what are these? Can they be deleted
I just backed them up and deleted them all from my Samsung O2. Everything appears to work the same. When I run some programs a tsd file gets created for that program. I think they are like a log ?

Remove drm agent on windows mobile

Hi guys! I'm looking into several folders of my device and i seen that in every folders which contains multimedia files there is one folder named "WMDRM"... So this is the question: is it possible to remove windows mobile drm agent? I have seen in the registry at the key "init" that contains (in my opinion!) a list of exe which surely runs on startup, and among these there is an exe named "DrmAgent.exe".. Is it safe to delete it so don't start it?
Anyone who helps me?

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.

[Q] Changing the .exe - file/path behind a shortcut icon in WM6.1

Hello.
Since being a noob (one of those the video warned you about...) I must post this on general section...
I have the following problem: I would need to change WM6.1Pro registry settings somehow, that an icon (shotcut) in programs list would launch mybestsoftware.exe in location B instead of original location A
The reason is that the software is installed using different cab-files into different locations over the years and I would like to update every device to launch the application from the same directory. My update possibilities are weak, so I can only transfer my .exe - file remotely into a specified directory, but the those idio... I mean customers will launch the application from the same shotcut icon as before and therefore thay are using the old revision instead of the new and shiny latest release.
What I have done so far is dumped a registry after factory reset, installed our software using the cab-file and dumped the registry again. I found following entries:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\AppInstall]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\AppInstall\Companyname Appname]
"InstallDir"="\\Program Files\\Companyname\\Appname"
"Role"=dword:00000018
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apps\Companyname Appname]
"Instl"=dword:00000001
"InstallDir"="\\Program Files\\Companyname\\Appname"
"InstlDir"="\\Program Files\\Companyname\\Appname"
But even I changed those paths into registry (\\Program Files\\Companyname\\Appname -> \\Appname, the icon still lauched the original exe
So what a humble support engineer needs to change in WM6.1 registry to tell the shortcut icon to launch the application fron a new location?
Its been a while since I last used WM, but you can create a new shortcut in the start menu using a file explorer, browsing to the exe copying it and then browsing to the start menu folder and pasting a shortcut if thats what your trying to do. I used to always use GSFinder as my file explorer.
