Change the default file extension application

Hi,
I wish to change the default application used to open a certain file extension (.jpg as an example), is there anyway to do this on Windows Mob 6?
I have a LG KS20.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Also I was just wondering why on the forum home page there isn't a forum section on LG? Did I waste my money purchsing an LG? (this will be good to know for next time)
i believe resco file explorer has that option
Thank You, ill look around for it...
I recently had a problem with file extensions - Resco File Explorer solved it - it was the only solution I could find
Probably no forum forthcoming for LG

Phones not made by HTC are not given their own forums here, AFAIK (see i-mate 8502 and 9502 as examples that have had several requests for forums). Even some PDA-only devices made by HTC are not afforded their own forums here, even though there is a lot of activity in the General Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking forum (see Dell Axim x51v and other Axim devices).

Question about Windows for IPAQ rx5720

Hello Guys,
im new to this forum and i like to read some threads here from timt 2 time.
And since i got my own pocket pc, i wondered if anybody could help me with a question.
The Windows Mobile Version of mine is a spanish one. And i would lik to have an english version of it. Is it somehow possible to install a language packet or to get another version of WM?
I hope you guys can help me with this. I know this isnt exactly a pocket-pc-forum, but maybe you know something.
Ill tried to search the web, but i got no result
Please help me, any answer would be very kind
Best regards
Just like Windows desktop OS's, you must reinstall the OS to change the language.
It's not an easy process if you are not familiar with your device. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, there is a forum devoted to your device. You should find a lot of information there.
Hey N1c0_ds,
i thought i have to reinstall or flash a new rom/OS.
I can read as much as possible and i dont fear the work
And because im not very familiar with my pda, i think it will be some work to me....
Thanks for your advice... i guess you meant the Other "HTC manufactured phones" forums. Ill have a lokk at these

New to Mobile Development. Some questions

Hey, I'm new to the forum and new to mobile development and hope to become a part of this thriving community. I have a few questions about development in regards to WM 6.1 and the Touch Diamond 2 (known as the Topaz here).
My first question is to do with the first application I deployed as a CAB to my phone today. It runs but when I try to enter information on a textbox the button to bring up the keyboard isn't there. I'm guessing there must be some coding involved to bring this up? Could anyone help me on this? If it's not coding, then what can be done to fix this?
Edit: Thought I should also mention that because it is a simple application (not Hello World) that I decided to code it in Visual Basic. I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition and the 3.5 .NET Framework and the WM 6 SDK and some WM 6.1 resources (Emulator images)
here is common development thread

You realise that I have already searched for this information? And also that the thread linked gives pretty much no information to new developers
Bumpity bump
I am also looking for developing some application for my diamond2...
Any pointer for start in these place?
I am reading msdn... but very lengthy.

Help for Ultra Noobs!!!

Hello! I am the afore mentioned ultra noob and despite looking, I haven't been able to find an idiots guide to the simple stuff - what is a cab? What is a rom? I have read that I need microsoft .Net Compact Framework 3.5 but when I try to install it, it says 'Deployment to device will be unavailable as compatible active sync was not detected on this computer'. All things that I am struggling with.
I will be getting a TP2 next week and am hoping to get a head start on some of the stuff you more experienced peeps know about. So, if I have missed an ultra noob guide on these forums, could you point me to it or, maybe the regular users here could post a few replies with, say, your top 3 tips for tweaking a phone and choosing the right programs to download?
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm sure everything you need is available on xda. Another place to get basic information is Wikipedia:
CAB file: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAB_file
ROM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-only_memory
ROM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROM_image
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware
http://gizmodo.com/5281397/how-to-install-windows-mobile-65-right-now
If XDA and similar sites and the search functions are too bewildering, get Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine's "The Ultimate Smartphone & Pocket PC How to Guide" for Windows Mobile users. There you'll have all the basics covered for total beginners. It's no longer published but you can get a copy of the last edition which covers up to WinMo 6.0 with loads of other stuff for 20 USD. http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/bundle. Some of the stuff may be getting old, but WinMo hasn't changed all that much.
Thanks for your help!

[Q] applications

hello, guys i need help!
i 've just registered in this site
i want to download applications for my htc hd2 device but i can't find the way
somebody told me to download wiki and that it has applications including maps gps and games...but when i click wiki the only thing i see is a forum
Go to the HD2 (Leo) forums and select the subforum of the OS you're running (probably WinMo 6.5), then there's a themes and apps subforum where you can look for apps.
You can also google for apps, there are tons of websites where you can find apps for win mobile. Also check the windows mobile marketplace.
