How To: Extract registry entries from cab?

How do you extract registry entries from a cab file? I used the CAB ANALYZER in CoreKitchen but it extracts the entries really sloppy and each entry must be reworked in order to put it in an RGU... any easier way to do this?

Just select the XML tab there and you'll see the registry entries written in a nice way somewhere there

HTC Camera 3.0/3.3 cab?

I'm currently using Equinoexe's Touchflo rom (VERY slick BTW, kudos to him!), and the only thing I'm having a problem with is the camera that's packaged with it... Does anyone have 3.0 or 3.3 wrapped up in a cab file? I've searched and searched, and nothing comes up.
THANKS!

I believe copying files does the trick. For me it didn't. I am also looking to make it work but I gave up.

yes, any1 have cab file?

I'd be interested in the Camera files as a cab too.

Here's Faria's 3.3 camera files, but they're not in a cab. It includes a readme.txt file instructing where to dump the files.

reg key
does anyone know where abouts in the registry the reg key goes or wot prog ram i could use to import the key

i'd like to add that in the rar file posted for faria's 3.3 camera, there are files to place in windows, and instructions to also import a reg key for the camera. that reg key, however, isn't included with the package.. does anyone know what is needed?

The registration included to the package but it is hidden because the extension is reg which connected to the files system. If you want to see, you must set your windows to appear the files system.

For example Resco explorer has the option to show hidden files, then to apply the reg file, just double click it.

Excel file icons missing...please help...challenging for expert

I have a quite strange issue on my Samsung SGH-i780 (WM6).
I can not display any more excel file icons!!
I mean xls and xlt, but for instance pocket excel one are correctly displayed.
Can you tell what should I set as registry key for xlsfile and xltfile?
Thanks in advance.

In registry:
Key: HKCR\xslfile\DefaultIcon
Type: String
Value: browsres.dll,-6708
Use TotalCommander to easily set the file association correctly:
-> navigate to an xls file,
-> long click the file and chose 'Properties'
-> open the last tab 'Associate'
-> click the button 'Associte...' and browse to \Windows\PXL.exe, parameter: %1, Icon file: \Windows\officeres.ddl, Index: -15650

Thanks......I tried but with no luck!! I tried only the first part because I do not have Total Commander. Is it necessary? Can I do it with Resco Explorer?
I have xls file associated to Softmaker Office.....do you think that this is creating the issue?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, Don't know if you still need help with this, I had a similar problem and found this thread before I fixed mine, my problem happened when Excel froze and had to be forced to quit, after that happended I 'lost' the default Excel icons, no amount of re-associating them would help (I also have Resco Explorer)
My Soloution was to change the registry key: HKCR\xslfile\DefaultIcon to Value: officeres.dll, -15652
I also had lost some icons for encrypted files in Resco Explorer as well, I couldn't find any mention on the internet about what reference was the correct one, so had to find it myself. I copied the 'explorer.exe' from my xda to my PC's desktop the used @icon sushi (http://www.towofu.net/soft-e/) to figure out what icon reference I needed (176 I believe), all I had to do then was link the file extension in the registry with 'explorer.exe, -176' and I'd solved that as well.
If you still needed this, I hoped it helped.

Opening *.txt files

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).

Quickgps won't update

PIE is working and connects through whatever means however it's not the same for quickgps. Even when there's no connection running it won't even try to start a GPRS connection. Forget activesync and wifi it's the same story. Assistance please

Make sure the quick gps service is running-it's launched by bootlauncher, and most task managers don't register it. XTask will show if it's working.

Nope, service is not running. What now?

You need this registry key.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services\QuickGPS]
"Index"=dword:00000000
"Info"=dword:00000000
"Module"="\\windows\\GPSAux.dll"
"Order"=dword:000000ff
"Prefix"="GUX"

Pour favour, could you place all that into a REG file for me? I'm trying to input the values but the only ones I'm sure I got are "Module" and "Prefix".

Just cut-and-paste the full code I posted (inc. the Windows Registry editor bit) into a text file. You can do it on a pc or your ppc. Then change the file extension to .reg, and import the key with a registry editor like dotfred's task manager or phm regedit.

Imported the key and soft resetted. Confirmed that the service is NOT running as per the registry entry. However, I found a "QuickGPS app service(GUX0" running with most of the settings you gave me there in the registry.
2 differences:
- it's described as "dll for icon in TodayScreen" (yes, it's bull, i know)
- and entry called "Keep=dword:00000001"

help... still nothing

Well a hard reset worked and am gonna backup all QuickGPS related registry keys, but I really doubt that it's that simple. If this problem comes again I'll likely have to do this again.
Watch this space.
