Remove drm agent on windows mobile - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys! I'm looking into several folders of my device and i seen that in every folders which contains multimedia files there is one folder named "WMDRM"... So this is the question: is it possible to remove windows mobile drm agent? I have seen in the registry at the key "init" that contains (in my opinion!) a list of exe which surely runs on startup, and among these there is an exe named "DrmAgent.exe".. Is it safe to delete it so don't start it?

Anyone who helps me?

Uninstalling Intellipad

Hi all, just did a search on the forums, and didn't see anything. So here goes. How do you uninstall intellipad? It doesnt appear in the remove programs bit...does it need doing manually, if so...how would one go about doing thins?
if it start automaticly then looking in windows\startup or what ever that dir is for the shortcut to the program and remove the shortcut and
then remove the files and reg'd it use would be the same thing as what remove programs does
you could also look in the pc activesync's add remove programs if it was installed using activesync
Couldnt find anything to do with it in shortcuts. I think all the program files are residing in the windows directory. Does anyone know which keys from the registry, would rather know for sure rather than guessing?
looking in Windows Directory and there's a lot of file IntelliPad.***
Yes I have seen the intellipad files there, its the registry keys im not sure of.

wm programs or folder from softkey

Hello guys,
I've been searching a lot, yet could not find the answer.
I would like to be able to open either programs (meaning path start/programs) or just a specific folder from softkey or hardware key.
Is there any way to open the specified folder. Do I need to create a shortcut to this folder? I have tried something like /fexplore.exe /My Documents (which works) but I would need to be able to open them not in list view yet as the programs do apear.
Is there any specific command to at least run the programs, where I would just click the specific folder?
Thank you in advance,
tampiss
I guess a workaround would be a similar apporach to your, /fexplore.exe /My Documents (which works).
Find a file manger that will display in icon view, rather than list, or details... then make a shortcut using that.
Any ideas?
Resco Explorer look promising,

Total Commander CE does an Icon View.
Now... does it respond to command line switches, so I can get it to start in a specified folder?

Windows TSD Files?

Under WM 6.5 in the Windows directory I find "Hidden Store/Tasks" that contains a large number of files of the kind *.tsd - what are these? Can they be deleted
I just backed them up and deleted them all from my Samsung O2. Everything appears to work the same. When I run some programs a tsd file gets created for that program. I think they are like a log ?

xap deployment mechanism?

Hello everyone,
I'm new to wp7 and wince. I want to know what happened when I deploy a xap to my wp7 phone. Because my phone has not been unlocked, I could not see files on the phone. How about the XML files in the xap? Where do they go? If there are any registry values that will be changed? Thanks.
Roughly speaking, the process goes like this (I might have the order wrong in a few steps, this is based on observation not reverse engineering):
First, the phone verifies that installing unsigned apps is allowed and that you haven't hit the app limit.
Second, it unpacks the WMAppManifext.xml file from the XAP and p****s it.
Third, it checks whether the app's capabilities are allowed (in particular, if you aren't interop-unlocked, ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES will be prohibited).
Fourth, it copies the XAP into a temp folder (under \Application Data\<something>\GUID, I forget exactly where).
Fifth, it registers the app in the AppMgr, a database that contains info about installed apps and shows them in the app list.
Sixth, it creates a "chamber" (basically, a user account) specifically for the app, with permissions specified by the manifest CAPs.
Seventh, it creates a folder at \Applications\Install\{GUID} and one at \Applications\Data\{GUID} where GUID is the app's ProductId.
Eighth, it unpacks the XAP into that Install\{GUID} folder.
Ninth, it adds policies to the PolicyEngine (security system) that allows the app to read its install folder, read/write its data folder, and to be launched into its chamber.
Tenth, it deletes the temp folder where the app was unpacked.
The registry should not be affected during this process. Files in the XAP are unpacked onto the filesystem mostly unmodified.

Thank u for ur excellent reply! I am trying to find ways to interop unlock my nokia phone. Thanks a lot!
Good luck! I've been looking for interop-unlocks for months now (sometimes in Nokia, sometimes in other OEMs like my HTC, sometimes in the OS itself) but more people is always better. Sometimes a new perspective is all it takes.

[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.
