I absolutely love Gmote as It means I can control everything on my media PC on my phone without having to walk to the other side of the room to tend to my computer. The problem is I want to keep the windows password logon screen, but Gmote is not running at this time so I am unable to enter my windows password using my phone. My question is how do I get Gmote to run before the login screen so I can use it to input my password?
I have spent many hours trying to accomplish this, and have figured if I want Gmote to be available at the logon screen I will have to setup Gmote as a windows service. I seem to have done this successfully by following the below steps:
1.Run SrvInstw.exe
2.Check Install Service radio box, click Next
3.Check Local Machine radio box, click Next
4.Enter the name for your service, click Next
5.Click Browse and select srvany.exe (which is in the same folder as SrvInstw.exe, remember?), then click Next
6.Click Service is its own Process radio box, click Next
7.Select what user account you want this service to run under. If this service is to have its UI, check the Allow Service to Interact with Desktop checkbox. Normally the services run under System Account
8.Select the startup option, click Next
9.Click Finish. But you are not finished just yet
10.Open RegEdit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
11.Locate the service you just created in the Services branch, click on it.
12.Create a new key called Parameters
13.Click on Parameters and create a new string value called Application
14.Double-click on Application and set it equal to the full path of your VB executable (e.g. c:\...\MyApp.exe)
I then had a problem when Gmote was starting that it would complain about VlC libraries. After more research I found the following rectified this
A. Right-click "Computer" and choose "Properties".
B. on the left, choose Advanced system settings.
C. Click the Advanced tab, then "Environment Variables"
D. On the bottom "System Variables" group, scroll down to the "Path" variable and double-click
E. What is here varies by what you have installed on your computer. You need to edit the value.
F. Move all the way to the end and add this (no space after current contents):
;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6;C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC;C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins
My only problem now is that Gmote seems to be starting before my wirless network is configured and comes up with an error message:
“unable to join the multicast socket. Is the computer connected to a network? Exiting Gmote.”
Once the wireless network is configured if you close this warning box everything works as it should. Even with the warning box open the file browser works but not the touchpad. The problem is I can’t close this box without a mouse or keyboard, so defeats the object of having my media centre pc solely controlled from my phone.
I looked into adding dependencies to my Gmote registry service key, as I thought this may rectify the problem. The dependencies I have added are RpcSs, Ndisuio, WZCSVC, Ip6Fw, Dhcp, Tcpip, Afd, NetBT (this are the logical ones I could think of)
Despite this Gmote still starts before my wireless network adapter is configured, so I always get the error message. Is there anyway to make sure Gmote only starts once my wireless network is configured?
Not a whole lot to add other than I'm looking for a solution to this problem as well. Thanks for making so much good progress on it!
Where does one find SrvInstw.exe on Windows 7?
Have Googled around and it seems I need a Resource Kit or PowerTools or something.
Any insight appreciated!

If you're on xp, try a dependency on the wireless zero configuration service.
If you're on 7, try setting that service to automatic (delayed) startup.

You don't have to have srvinstw, it's just a gui for creating the service. What you DO need is srvany, which is supposed to work if you use the files from the server 2003 resource kit.
To create the service without srvinstw, use sc from (admin) command line:
Code:
Sc create mysvcname binpath= c:\path\to\srvany.exe start= auto type= interact type= own
If type= own doesn't work, try type= shared. Then follow op's registry edits.
If you need to delete the service to try again, use
Code:
Sc delete mysvcname

use task scheduler
I have got gmote working as I want by using the task scheduler in xp. I removed gmote from the startup folder where it was originally and then added it as a scheduled task with the following options:
run only if logged on
scheduled task = once
start time I set for 2 mins from now
advanced: repeat task every 1 minutes
then I also setup xp to logon automatically (do a search for control userpasswords2 if you don't know how).
at the specified time in 2 mins gmote server starts up and once running the task scheduler seems to know not to try and relaunch it. If I restart my computer then it logs on to xp automatically and then in a minute or less gmote relaunches, simples! I do note however that if I suspend my computer then when I turn it back on it comes up with the xp login screen even though I have no password set and although the gmote server is still running it won't let me have control till after the log on screen so I have to drag my fat ass across the room and press enter on my keyboard. Alternatively I can just shut down the computer rather than suspending?

Hey Mates,
I was looking through my \windows\startup folder and I noticed a few .lnk files, some of which I didn't know what they were for. If I can determine that they aren't neccessary maybe removing them could speed things up a little. Here are the links I have so far:
AEBPlus.lnk - this is a great button mapping prog
PKG.lnk -???
poutlook.lnk - Pocket Outlook, I'm guessing it needs to be there
sddeaemon.lnk -???
spbmobileshell.lnk - SPB mobile shell obviously
I was also wondering if I removed poutlook will activesysnc stop running on it's own. I tried the sched trick to keep it from running all the time but that doesn't seem to work. I shut it down and then it keeps showing up in the task manager. Thanks in advance to any help, Cheers!

That link is for WM Standard, not really applicable in this situation.
The Sddaemon is most likely the drivers to recognize your sd card.
As for Activesync you can try the following:
If you go into settings/System/Memeory and check what programs are running your more then likely will see active sync. This is due to the following fact: ActiveSync on Pocket PC side with its default settings does following - Pocket PC ActiveSync activates itself every five or ten minutes and tries to sync with the desktop.
So if you dont want your battery to be drain again, you need to prevent the ActiveSync from waking up the device every five minutes. To do this read the lines below and follow the instructions:
1. Start ActiveSync on your Pocket PC.
2. Tap "Menu", then "Add Server Source"
3. Configure a server source with a fake IP address, id and password - you can enter anything you like, it doesn't matter
4. After that you will notice that "Menu -> Schedule..." item is no longer greyed out.
5. Change your schedule to manual under both fields.
6. You can now delete your fake server - your changes to the schedule will remain in effect. ActiveSync will no longer be able to drain your battery.
Also make sure your error reporting is turned off.
Start/Settings/System/Error reporting.Set it to disable error reporting and save more battery life
HTH!

Thanks JN,
I tried the fake server method but activesync still seems to start up on its own. Does windows live or gmail need to call it up when they sync? it seems the polaris is the first device I've had that persistently keeps activesync running even when i shut it down.
btw, my sd card was still functional even when i removed sddaemon.lnk from the startup folder and did a soft reset??? weird. We still don't know what PKG.lnk is either.
@gatordent,
My mistake, the Sddaemon is the Cyberon voice speed dial that comes with most HTC devices.
As for AS, I don't use W.Live and do you have google mail set for auto mail retrieval? Maybe when the device goes to get the mail at your specific time, AS launches itself?
JNGold,
Alright, here is what I've done, I removed sddaemon.lnk AND PKG.lnk from startup and left the others. So far, so good... seems to have saved about 3% of memory upon soft resetting. I left outlook.lnk b/c messaging broke when i tried to startup without it. AS still starts on it's own immediately after a soft reset. The TC is definitely a little peppier.

Thought I'd try this but how do I 'delete' the fake server. There's no such option that I can see. Am I just being thick?
I've tried using Resco Explorer 7.05/Total Commander 2.5.1/HTC's Network Plugin
For some reason i can't seem to map network drives.
In resco when i try to connect to a drive it tells me it's not accessible
In Total Commander it just doesn't connect
In HTC's Network plugin it writes: "Map Drive Failed"
-I'm using Vista on the comp i want to share folders in.
-Sharing works fine on all comps other than in my PPC (not password protected)
-It seems as not only it doesn't map the drive but doesn't acknowledge as anything but the computers on the network exist. no folders inside those computers. Thought about changing my ppc's domain but i don't know how to do that.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Yeah, VISTA FILE SHARING is a bit tricky! You not only have to share that particular drive / folder; you also have to check the settings in the SHARING CENTER - in addition you might have to adjust the file permissions as well.
Everything is perfect on file settings. i have a network running 3 computers and 2 laptops all sharing folders no passwords all permissions set. only thing not able to read the folders is the PPC. It finds the comps on the network but doesn't show the folders.
Did you MOUNT the drives in RESCO? You can't just click on it in the FILE EXPLORER - tap and hold, then select MOUNT DRIVE or FOLDER (depending on what you're sharing).
What RESCO VERSION did you use?
dude... i can't see drives nor folders.
i'm using 7.05
for the record, i tried looking at a winxp comp instead of a vista one.. can't see anything.
tried accessing through ip and name.. both come out with nothing..
I wish someone would help with this also. I have two computers and 1 ppc on my home network. My ppc(HTC Titan) used to be able to access both computers. Then all of a sudden it stopped working for my main computer(bedroom) with all MY files on it, but it still accesses files on my second computer(upstairs). On the main computer(bedroom) I can access the shared folders of the second computer(upstairs), but the second computer can't access the files from the main computer.I dont know whats wrong, but it seems more like a computer issue. I operate Windows XP on a Dell. The network folder used to work perfectly for me and I can't put my fiinger on what's blocking it.
This might be the wrong thread to post this issue(maybe the wrong website) but I thought I would ask since the issues are similar. If it's a ppc program for accessing the shared folders on a computer, then someone should have a How-To or a check list of how to set both up for the program to work fluently. Can somebody please post what you need to do on the computers to ensure sharability of the file systems.
The reason why this is so important to me is because I have been hooking-up my Titan since may 2008 and I am near completion. I'm totally done adding app's and the functionality of the device is superb except for this issue. Just bought a 16gb micro sdhc card and that works great. My girlfriend just ordered a seido 3500mah extended battery with the door to fit and a rubberized hard case for extended battery fit. I'm so excited about have the best phone setup of my life but I everytime I go back to this issue I get pissed off. It was all good til about 4 months ago and I don't know why it suddenly stopped working. Please HELP!!!
If the HTC Network plugin is not locating your shared files on your network, this likely suggest that it is an issue with your network settings. I suggest playing around with your security settings; however, I just recently had a problem accessing any of my shared files over any of my computers between each other and between my HTC Device. It just suddenly stopped working. I knew that I didn't change any settings myself and had tried many things to try to resolve the problem without success. I then decided to run my anti-spyware programs and Anti-Virus programs and let them run overnight. In the morning, the Anti-spyware removed several things - One was labeled as high risk and the others were low and the Anti-Virus found two high risk viruses. Everything was taken care of automatically and voila - I had no problems connecting to my shared files with my computers or my HTC Device. I ran the spyware and virus check programs again and everyting was clean.
the problem is that i can't even map the drives. i can see the comps on the network using the HTC Network Plugin but can't do anything other than that. when i try mapping a drive it tells me that i can't.. for some reason.
i removed password protection...shared the drive... nothing works.
I am assuming you are trying to connect through WIFI -
Make sure that you are actually connected to your network. My device has on several occasions connected to my neighbours wifi rather then my own - results in not being able to access shared folders
Through HTC NEtwork plugin you are exploring the computer for the shared folders right? You say you can see the computers - when you click the plus next to the specified computer in the network plugin are you getting any results at all there.
Make sure you don't have (I don't know if this is what it is called) MAC address filter or password. One of my friends has an open WIFI Network but has MAC Address filter which stops you from actually being able to use the network. You can connect but that is it. You wouldn't be able to surf the internet at all through WIFI either if this was the problem.
If it is none of these, Maybe it is a Windows VIsta problem - I don't know, I have XP
Do you have trouble connecting to other shared folders on other peoples WIFI networks also? (people who have XP)
-XP doesn't work either.
-i can see the comps, so i'm obviously connected to the network.
-i have mac filtering - see previous statement
-wifi works - see previous previous statement
dunno what to do.
Maybe something with your WIFI Settings on your device then?
Maybe you can review your settings on your device - Anythign that you think might be causing the problem - Describe it here, I will check my device settings (even though different devices - should still be the same - and will let you know if there are any differences. I must go eat dinner right now, but will check back after supper and bathing my daughter and putting her to bed. in a hour and a half two hours from now...
Set your desktop to support NTLM instead of just NTLMv2.
That way I got shared folders working with the HTC Network Plugin and my Vista desktop. Unfortunately some HTC apps (like HTC Camera) only expect your device to have two drives (internal ROM and flash card) so when you mount a network drive, they can't access your flash card.
Well, i can start searching, but if you don't mind, could you tell me how to do that?

I wish it worked for me too, but when I get to the "Group Policy Object Editor" I'm getting lost. I don't see that anywhere. Is my computer missing important files? I'm using windows xp. I hope I don't have to restore the whole computer to get the file sharing working. But if I gotta do it I will.the phone see's the computer, but no file sharing. It is that important to me to share files between my phone and computer. My home setup is sweet, and my phone is an extension of it.
Any Other Ideas
So, I have gone through and done everything suggested here. Lan Authentication, created private network, reconnect, everything I can think of...nothing seems to work
Does anyone have any further ideas about what could possibly work to create a LAN over WIFI?
Hardware:
Vista Business, Mogul 6.1 stock ROM 5.2.19208 and Folder Plugin build 30468.
DONE SO FAR:
Have created an adhock private network...connected to it on my device no problem. But when i go to search for my computer in network plugin under the browse menu it thinks about it and in the end doesn't see anything...
so, at wits end...I know I am new but most of the info over is fairly beyond my level I am certinaly a lurker and no info over at PPC Geeks with solutions...either way alot of the stuff over there comes from over here so thought I would see if anyone had some suggestions.

What's a good VNC or VNC-like client for the TP2? I've tried a few and all fail. I'm running realVNC server on my home computer, I know the IP and port, have the password set, etc.
· I try to connect with this VNC client and it does nothing (after clicking connect, nothing is running, no screen comes up) - http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html
· I try to connect with this other VNC client and it just hangs in the background as a hidden process. No visuals. -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotnetvnc/files/
· Additionally I tried a different app instead of VNC, Omnipresence. It's made for the diamond but I was hoping it'd work for me. I ran the server on my PC, installed the cab on my phone, ran the app, and attempted to connect.. I get this lengthy error: "Error while connecting: An error message is available for this exception but cannot be displayed"... blah blah blah blah blah.
Also, the omnipresence zip contains a dll but no instructions on what to do with it. I dunno if it goes on my phone or PC or what. I have .net compact framework version 3.5 (or later) installed on my phone. I have .net framework 4 on my PC.
What will it take to get an exact representation of my desktop showing on my phone screen? Preferably one that doesn't have to be resized to the lowest possible resolution? Ideally one that allows for panning around on the desktop by sliding across the screen (as omnipresence seems to do)?
==========================================================
You don't have to read anymore, but I thought I should share the various bits and pieces I had to figure out to get remote desktop (not VNC but almost as good) running on WM 6.5 (connecting to windows 7)...
1. On the PC, click start, type remote in the search box, and choose the option that says allow remote access to your pc. Of the three options in the middle, choose the one that says allow connections from any version of remote desktop. Note: To change this settings you need to enable windows firewall. You may have made a habit of disabling it (it used to be a nuisance in XP)... to re-enable, click start --> type services.msc in the search box and click on the result. Go to the w's for windows firewall. Double click it, change the startup type to manual and click apply (unless it already is) then click start. OK to close.
2. If you normally login to windows with a blank password, (maybe skip the login process entirely) click start, type gpedit.msc, click the result, navigate to computer config - windows settings - security settings - local policies - security options and find the entry near the top: Limit local use of blank passwords etc. ...double click that and change it to disabled.
3. Not sure if it's strictly necessary, and some may balk at the idea, but you might choose to shut down the firewall once that settings in step one is changed. Same steps, except you click stop instead of start.
4. On the phone, start the client and type in your IP in the first blank. Make sure it's your external IP, i.e. the one you get when you visit this site: http://whatismyip.com . For the user name blank, use your windows user name. If you need to double check it (i.e. you automatically login and forgot) click start on your PC. It'll be at the top right.
5. On the phone, go to settings --> all settings --> connections --> connections and then go to the advanced tab, then select networks --> change both dropdown boxes to your phone's internet connection (in my case, Sprint. Possibly "My ISP" could work?)
6. Here's the dumb part that had me bashing my head against the wall. The phone's connection to the internet needs to be 'goosed' before remote desktop can work. You need to open your web browser and browse to any site. Possibly some other internet-using app would work. Once you load any site, you can exit the browser and finally... FINALLY connect.
7. Fire up remote desktop, change the options to your liking, click connect.
Got it going with some help from ppcgeeks. Also got VNC working. If anyone is having trouble, I recommend reading this post:

I keep getting this message when I connect my DVP to Zune
I tried this solution from the Microsoft website:
If it is running, close the Zune software and disconnect your phone.
Open Certificate Manager. To do this, click Start, type certmgr.msc, and press Enter.
Expand Personal, and then expand Certificates.
Click the heading for the Issued By column to sort the column, and then look for one or more certificates that is issued to "zune-tuner://windowsphone/...".
Right-click that certificate and then click Delete. Click Yes.
From the File menu, click Exit.
Start the Zune software and connect your phone to create a new certificate.
When I expand personal there is no Certificate folder to expand the whole personal folder is empty
Anyone know of a way to fix this>

SO Zune just cannot see your phone?
Try this:
Start => Devices and Printer, find your device name and right click => troubleshoot
Sometime the drivers of the phone on the machine corrupt, it happens on both HD7 and Titan. Use troubleshoot will help you reinstall the driver for the phone.
Also make sure you're logged onto your computer with full permissions. I tried to connect my HD7 via a guest account and got that constantly. In the end it turned out I needed to be logged into an account that wasn't guest.
Other than that, there was NO solution for my issue.
Here is a simplified and shortened version of my earlier post on File Sharing for Macs and Androids. This method enables users to share their files over WIFI using FTP (If you need more detailed information, please look for my earlier post on this subject.).
1. Make sure your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi Network. Also, make sure that both "File Sharing" and "Remote Login" are checked in the Sharing CP of System Preferences on your Mac.
2. Install ES File Manager on your phone. In ES File Manager go to Tools/Remote Manager. (Actually, one's phone may not need to be rooted.)
3 .Remote Manger will show "Network Status" as "XYZ Network" (i.e. your WiFI Network) followed by the Wi Fi symbol in blue and the address of ftp:// xxx.xxx.x.xx:xxxx.You are instructed to, "Input the address into your PC."
3. Download from the Apple App Store, a program called, "Transmit" and launch it after it is installed on your Mac.
4. Select FTP from the pull-down menu from within Transmit. A panel will appear, and into that ftp panel , beside the word, "Server", type the complete ftp address that showed up in Remote Manager.
5. The software will strip the address of the ftp:// and the last 4 digits of the address will be assigned to the Port (i.e. a field that is near the bottom of the panel.)
6. For "User Name" type in "Joe Smith's HTC One" or whatever the name is that you have assigned to your phone.
7. For Password, type the password or numerical passcode that you use to unlock the phone at startup.
8. Initial Path - leave blank
9. FTP - select the first option.
10. Hit the "Connect" button. If all goes well, you should see all the files that are in your user directory on the left side of the Transmit window, and all the files on your phone on the right side of the window. Just drag and drop files from one side of the window to the other to move files from your phone to your computer and visa versa. Enjoy!
Note: Please be aware that this solution to file sharing is completely wireless! So, there is no need for a physical connection between your phone and your computer.
