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.
Is there any way to make the htc camera album the default viewer???
try going into the registry and navigating to
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum
and changing the entry "default_viewer" from 0 to 1. I haven't tested it out myself, but seems like a logical choice, lol.
tried that before. it doesn't work. I also even tried changing the :MSPIMG registry entry from pimg.exe to htcalbum.exe. that doesnt work either. THe only way so far has been to use Resco Explorer to overwrite the pimg.exe file in the \windows directory. But since you can't back that up easily or rename it, you would essentially have to "lose" your original pimg.exe. i'm not willing to try that yet. so i can't confirm it even works. but someone in the Kaiser forum said they did it and it worked.
Have you tried Schaps Advanced Config Tool ?
On the tab "file associations" set the program to open jpg files to the HTC camera album program.
Worked for me ;-)
This doesn't make it the default viewer within the camera app however. It seems that pimg.exe is hardcoded in the camera software.
Also, I believe that unless the images are in the image directory that the camera is set to save in, having the .jpg associated with HTCAlbum.exe will not open the images located elswhere. At least that is what I have found.
how do i gt the latest camera album for my touch p3452

Hi to all. First of all, I've tried to search but I got to ask since I can't find this topic anywhere.
Ok. Does anybody know how I can open a file with the extension *.txt with my preferred program? When I click directly on the filename, the text is opened in Word Mobile. I would like to just click the filename and don't open my application before I can edit my file. I'm using another application that I prefer for editing my txt files. All suggestions are welcome
use total commander to associate file extensions with programs if your pref
or do it manually using a reg-editor
Thanks for the reply. But if I associate from TC, it still open with MW when I start any txt file from todayscreen, (from within PocketPlus). I suppose that using the TC only work when you open from TC? So I'll try to use a reg.edit. and see what happens. Thanks again.
you can use Schap's Advanced Configuation and change file associations..
I've tried Adv Conf 3.3, but still the Mobile Word opens my txt files
what do you use to open them? you might have specific file associations in your file browser.
what about resco explorer? it works to fix this problem in my device
I prefer the NeboPad, and the registry sais that my txt files should be opened with NeboPad. It seems that MS override this, during the copyright
this is impossible. assiciations are set via OS.. if you set a specific association in Adv Config.. it'll work for the OS unless you're using a file manager that opens using its own preferences. try another file explorer like Resco
I'm running it from Spb Pocket Plus and not from any file explorer. In the Advanced Configuration 3.3 it's stated that file with the extension of *.txt, should be opened with \Program Files\NeboPad\NeboPad.exe. But still it's opened with Mobile Word. I think I'll have to go back to Notes with the *.pwi extension. Anyway, thank's for trying.
Regards
if you use notes and it works thru Spb Pocket Plus it means that this NeboPad is the problem, not your association.

Well. I've tried a lot of editors and pad programs by this time, but every time I try to open a TXT file, it comes up in PWORD. This must be something in the OS itself I belive. Or has anyone managed it to work?
At last!
Finally I've found a program that's works. It's MobilePad (nice too).

Hi, I found a post on how change the program to open pictures on titanium for the Picture tab.
HKLM\Software\Mircosoft\Shell\Rai\:MSPIMG
change to
1=HTCAlbum.exe
I changed the 1=HTCAlbum.exe to 1=s2p.exe but it tells me that hte certificate is not signed or its not a trusted program. Thats weird cause I can run it form the Programs file. How do I get it to work?
Also how do I change the directory so that it will show the pictures from \Storage Card\Picture and not \My Documents\Pictures ?

you need the full path to the program
ex. \Program Files\S2P\s2p.exe
and the picture directory, you can try the Advanced Config, it can change the location of the picture folder

Thanks. I have tried that but it gave me trouble.
Also where in advanced config can I change the picture directory?
Is there a way to refresh the internet shortcut tabs so that they will show current web pages??? Also one of my pages didn't load all the way so my Internet Shortcut tab has a half loaded page on it...This is ridiculous!!!
Nevermind
I figured it out! Go to \Windows\Thumbnails and delete them all. Then reload your webpage once you have a 3G Connection... Plus it would help if I upgraded to Opera 10

Hi, it sounds like you have found a solution to your problem; however, I thought I would let you know that you can create your own images for the internedt tab thumbnails. Rather than have a mini-screenshot type thing that is currently there simply make an icon (in PhotoShop, Fireworks, Corel or whatever your preferred image editing app is).
To implement this, do as follows:
*Copy the PNG files from the Windows/Thumbnails directory to your PC.
*Open each in your image editing software.
*The current size is not really necessary and can make for a larger file size. Reduce the canvas down to 128x128 (this seems to produce a reasonable image without too much resolution loss).
*Create your icon/preferred thumbnail image.
*Save as PNG8 (with alpha transperancy if you want a transparent background). PNG8 will keep your filesize down.
*Remember when you save to keep the same filename. It should be a long string of numbers and letters.
*Copy your new files back to your device Windows/Thumbnails directory.
*Voila! New thumbnails, no mini screenshots.
The reason you want to keep your file sizes down is so that there is no lag time when you get to the internet tab. If you have large files, it takes a minute for the tab to load the thumbnails.
Perhaps you can answer this for me

Something happened when I deleted my cache files and my thumbnails. I tried placing several internet tabs back but they will not load. Netflix, CNN, ESPN..etc..etc... the only ones that show up in the internet tabs favorites are new pages/favorites that I have not added or been to before.
Having exactly the same problem. Looking for a fix.
Thanks.
Do either of you have the original PNG file names?
I am unsure whether Windows or Manila creates a random number for the file name when a new thumbnail is produced. I suspect this may be the case.
If the file names tend to be the same then I can send you some of mine to test.
I have attached an images of my thumbnails and file names. Perhaps this will help. I'm happy to share the files if it will be of assistance; however, I suspect that the file names may not be the same as yours.
Do you have any files in the folder:
device/thumbnails
If you do, and you are happy to send them to me (with the name of the site they link too), then I am more than happy to create some thumbnails for your and roll them all into an easy to install cab
Thanks,
Yes, I have files in the Windows\Thumbnails folder, but only the new once that I create.
When I recreate a quick link that was used in the past (CNN….) No Thumbnails is created in the Windows\Thumbnails folder.
I think this might be what you are looking for:
Update thumbnail images of shortcuts on the Sense 2.5 internet tab
If you want those images to change to the actual picture of the site when you open them, instead of the old picture of what the site looked like when you first opened it, change this registry key: HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/VisualBookmark/UpdateOnce to 0 instead of 1.

Changed to "0" in the registry, SR, set PIE as default browser - No Go
I checked again, the moment I delete a Thumbnails related to a site, I can't assign again any image to that site (to replace the "globe" image).
Need help!!!

Hi
Here you go, I have made the attached thumbnails for you (using your original filenames).
I have included an image showing the new thumbnails and associated filenames.
All you need to do is copy and paste the files into 'device/windows/thumbnail' folder using Resco, Total Commander or similar. Overwrite the files that are currently in the folder.
That's it! It's done!
Go have a look at our internet tab and you will find the new thumbnails are displayed.
Note: I have a copy of your original files as a backup.

Ok, I never had this problem until now and I've done this countless times. My custom Youtube shortcut reverts back to the default thumbnail when I click on it. The others shortcuts are fine. Something like this can drive me nuts kinda...Any ideas guys? Thanks.
Edit: The problem has affected all the shortcuts.
Globe be gone!!

I had the same problem - after deleting the thumbnails I couldn't get them back. New shortcuts to new URL's worked, but everything else just gave the globe.
The solution that worked for me was to delete vb.vol in \windows (I stumbled across this after reading the "Manual Backup Stuff - Manila/Sense Internet Tab Shortcuts" section of http //whirlpool.net.au/wiki/htc_hd2_backup )
Don't have a solution for auto-updating the thumbnails, though
