Registry Changes Won't Stick

Hello all,
I'm trying to change the default voice command app that is invoked via bluetooth to be MS VoiceCommand 1.6 on my XV6800 per suggestions on threads like this one and on the wiki site and I'm running into a weird problem. When I try to change the path value like this:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path = "\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe"
The change does not stick! I've tried several things such as creating a new Path2 string value (which works) and then delete the existing one and rename Path2 to Path, but that just defaults to the original "\Windows\SDDialer.exe" value.
I sync with an exchange server so I am suspicious that some kind of security policy is preventing editing. I've tried by using both Resco Registry editor on the device as well as the CeRegistryEditor (after modifying RAPI security policy setting, 1001, to 1 per this thread - which ironically I could change) but that still did not allow me to change this Path value...
Thanks for any help!

if the registry setting is built into the rom, the rom will restore it after a restart

Yeah, I could deal with that even... The issue I'm seeing is that the change never gets made at all...

Default Save Locations

I need to change the default save locations for Images, Audio and Video to a user defined directory (NOT My Documents) on the Storage Card.
I've searched for solutions and using Schaps Advanced Config or manually editing the registry under HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Image\SaveFolder_0409 have not worked.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

1. Network shares paths are stored under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\Redir\Connections\], where each key defines one shared folder, for example lets say you want to map \\Data\Data as folder Q on your device, the registry key would look like this:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\Redir\Connections\Q]
"Type"=dword:00000001
"RemoteName"="\\Data\Data"
you can prepare as many reg entries as you need this way and import it to registry
2. If you want to see the Network folder in 'My Device' in file explorer,
set the following registry entry to 1:
Code:
[HKLM\Comm\Redir]
RegisterFSRoot=1

3. probably (have no way to check it now), you can also access non-mapped network paths directly from File Explorer - check "Go To\ Open Path\New Path..."

[Q] Cannot access registry anymore after accentcolor change

Hey there,
I got a Samsung Omnia 7 with Telekom Branding and a serious problem. I cannot access the registry of my phone anymore with any tool. WP7 Root tools and the registry editor from TouchXperience keeps crashing.
What I been doing is trying to add a new accent color.
I first went to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes] and then in the folder which contains the theme names. I have created there a correct Dword entry and called the name "grau".
Well, then I switched into [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\0\Accents] and wanted to add there another accent color with the index number 11. I was looking for the hex values on my PC while my phone screen got locked.
After unlocking it again, I couldnt access any of the tools anymore.
Also when I go into the control panel -> design (where you can choose light/dark background and accent color) it just kicks me out of the menu.
I dont know what I should do, I need something which lets me access the registry somehow or an app which could remove the key...
Any help is greatly appreciated

You can do write-only registry operations in a few ways, but one of the easiest is to use provxml. Download the Interop Unlock XAP from the Dev&Hacking sub-forum and open it in 7-zip (the built-in Windows ZIP explorer won't work for this). There's a .. folder. Navigate it up to ..\..\..\..\.. or so, then there's a provxml folder. Open it, and there's a file inside. Edit that file. It'll have some registry write commands in an xml format (wap-provisioning, you can read about it on MSDN if you want). Put the registry commands you want into the file and save it back into the XAP archive. Then, follow the normal steps for interop-unlock on a Samsung phone, except don't install the original app (deploy your modified version). This will process the provxml and make the registry changes.
Note: provxml can be used to delete registry values as well as create or modify them. This is a great way to undo partial jobs like adding a new theme that isn't supposed to be there.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
It worked out. I removed all those broken keys.
I had done loads of registry changes and a bunch of tweaks for the phone, at the end I did a hard reset.
I'll wait for tools the next time

[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.
