Well, my shellres192.dll was originally stored in ROM, so I had to extract my ROM file, find shellres192.dll, replace start icon with reshack, put the modified file in my storage card and copy to windows folder.
After that, I'm missing start, signal and "X" icon. Bummer!
I tried to undo my mishap by replacing new shellres192.dll with the "untouched" one from my dump folder (which was created after extraction of the .nbh file)
Unfortunately, to no avail. Still no icons on the home screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

install a clean rom, or customize your own. the windows directory is going to be a little large regardless, the operating system is there..
what is the normal size of windows folder
any how can i customize my room to remove and add new applications
That's basically what got this community started... just about everyone here can testify to having looked into ROM Cooking... please research before asking how to do it, because I PROMISE there's a thread or two out there about it
Clean windows folder possible ?
I'm trying to cook my own rom but when I add an EXT module, all files are in Windows directory and the app.dat file only copy them in the app directory.
So is it realy possible to have a clean windows directory, how to put files directly in app folder? must I use an OEM module with initflashfile or ???
thanks all

All files go into \windows. The first thing you need to ask is this: do I need to copy the file into another directory, like \program files? A lot of apps work just fine if you leave all of the files in \windows. The files are going to be in \windows in one form or another, so you save space by just running the app out of \windows. You need to change shortcut paths and sometimes registry key paths to get this to work, but in my experience, it works about 95% of the time. Usually, if you've got a multi-component application (several files besides just the .exe), the .exe will search for other files it needs to run in the same directory that the .exe is located in, so you're good to go if everything is in \windows. Some apps have sub-folders, so you'll have to get that folder and its contents into \windows. The best way to do this is with a .cab file or a zip file during customization (using a mortscript for the latter). Zip files are nice, because they install really quickly and are easy to make and edit.
Anyway, if you need to get files into another directory for whatever reason, I'd say that the app.dat method is probably the worst, because if you have multiple files, then you increase the file count in \windows by that amount. Put them in a zip file or a cab file, and then you'll reduce the file count to 1 for the particular package. You will also compress the files, and save some rom storage space.
You can also look into \extendir for another method to clean up the \windows directory.
You do need to be careful with some apps if they have an .ini file or an .xml file or something similar that is basically a settings file. It's usually better if these files aren't read only, so you may need to figure a way to copy the file into the \windows directory.
Hi,
I accidentally put actual file instead of lnk into StartUp folder on WM 6.1. Now I can not delete the file becouse it's already launched and it's not even showing in list of running programs. How do I get rid of it in StartUp folder?
Thanks,
G
it might be running in the background. try using a task manager kinda program to see running processes (e.g. wktask) and you should be able to kill it and then delete it
or rename it from somethingsomething.exe to somethingsomething.exe.bak
and softreset
Or you can usually cut the link or file in startup and then paste it somewhere else. Reset, then you can delete it.
not if it's not a shortcut but he places the exe file itself in startup in this case it will be locked and cant be cut
Can you rename the file to something not ".exe" and then reset the phone? Would it work? I've read somewhere around here someone suggesting that. After soft reset, in theory, you should be able to delete the file.
long version:
I've tried to use the solution in here for my blackstone in order to fix the arab-numbers issue on my ppc.
I've downloaded the tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf files
rename the existing files to tahoma.ttf_old and tahomabd.ttf_old
I copied the files from the sd to the /windows folder and SRed the device.
all the hebrew fonts were screwed and blank squares were shown where normally the letter would be,
I got worried, so I checked the "/windows" forlder and I've noticed new files were created.
so now I have 3 versions of each file in the folder:
for tahoma:
tahoma.ttf (original, was created after the SR)
TAHOMA.TTF (the one I copied from the SD, yes, its the same name only the letters are in different case)
tahoma.ttf_old (the backup of the font including hebrew letters)
same goes for tahomabd.
renaming the tahoma.ttf or TAHOMA.TTF is not possible not from normal file explorer, not from resco file explorer and not from total commander (pocket-version), deleting the files didn't work as well ("can't delete file" or "can't rename file" error).
the font on quick dial was ok.
I've figured the problem was that the files were in use, so I've searched the folowing thread which changes the windows fonts folder, so I copied the new version to the /windows/fonts folder and changed the registry value...
it worked, I can see hebrew and normal numbers when the font is set to "right to left", but the fonts are in the wrong folder and I can't delete or rename the new files... which brings me to the...
short version:
how can I delete/rename (and then delete after SR) the "tahoma.ttf", "TAHOMA.TTF", "tahomabd.ttf" or "TAHOMABD.TTF" files from my /windows folder so I can change them with my own font files?
any help would be appreciated.
p.s.
I'm NOT using a coocked ROM and I would like to avoid reset to factory settings... as I've been spending the past week to make the device behave just the way I like it...
thanks in advance
Deleting Fonts in WM6/WM6.1
Rename the filename extension ".ttf" (i.e.: "Tahoma.ttf" --> "Tahoma.bak")
Then delete the font file. That's it. No need to reboot.
If you still can't delete it, reboot your device..Then try deleting again.
I've made a cab with the fonts
you can just install it.. and it'll make the arab numbers disappear
btw, the fonts were edited by InfX
EDIT: use Resco Explorer, it will work
I'm stuck with the same problem. I want to replace tahoma.ttf with the Vista version of it. It gives better results with cleartype. It always worked fine until I installed a newer ROM. I don't really understand the solution. Could anybody pleasy make a cab to replace the Tahoma en Courier New fonts with the default ones from Vista? I would be extremely thankful.
just use QuickCAB 1.0 to create a cab with the new fonts.

Thanks. Will look into it.
Resco Explorer fixed the problem for me. Total Commander didn't work.
Yeah... total commander.. altho wonderful.. has it's annoyances.
If someone installs a cab that overwrites a system dll but makes a copy of the dll somewhere to restore when the time comes to uninstall that application, where would I find that copy? I am having a heck of a time trying to copy a stock dll from my phone. I can overwrite the dll when I install the app and when I uninstall it the old one is back. the stock one is 14k and the other is 20k. they are different files altogether. I thought maybe if I could get at the file while it was stored away in the cab manager then I could retrieve the file and life could go on. I can't just copy the file with activesync - it says access denied. I try to copy it with total commander on the device and that does not work. I even wrote a mortscript to copy the file and that did not work either. I think it is because the file is in use - it's the file that controls the data connection. I tried shutting off the data connection but still cannot get to it. can anyone offer any tips?
another Idea might be to include mortscript as an OEM and then execute the script that copies the file during autorun right after the rom is flashed?
thanks all.
edit: same result when trying to copy the dll from a stock sprint, touch pro, custom rom sprint tp, or custom rom verizon tp
Hi,
I accidentally replaced my nleddrvr.dll file without backing it up.
Could anyone send me the file or post it here for the WM 6.1 ROM
The original size was 14632 bytes.
Thanks a lot.
I would, but .dll are almost impossible to copy or move from the /windows directory. Your best best would be to do a hard reset, which erases everything off the device & goes back to stock condition
Actually you can extract dll files from \windows directory using ROMextractor utility in this thread 1571715 posted here. I've done it in WM 6.1
used ROMExtractor to get it. Was 14k before extraction, 16k after. Dont know if itll work, good luck.
Thanks a lot.
For any future references. Looks like replacing the dll file did not help. LED was still non-functional. I got around this problem by doing a full system backup using Sprite backup with the exclusion of the corrupted dll. Hard reset the phone and restored my data from backup.
We can't copy .dll from \Windows directory, not until you have unlock the security configuration.
Find a installer called security powertoy, install it on your window, run it, connect your phone with activesync and set the security to Security Off.
That will unlock your permission to copy dll from \Windows folder.
