You can just tap and hold on it in File Explorer and tap "Copy" then in File Explorer go to My Device --> Windows --> Start Menu --> Programs and paste it in there.

the exe file has to be installed through activesync.

Not necessarily. Sometimes an app is downloaded as an EXE and you run it on your PC and it installs via ActiveSync. But sometimes you download an EXE and it is supposed to run on the phone.

If you use the file explorer to make a shortcut to the exe rather than copying the exe, you don't have to copy any dependencies across.

I tried this first before posting this topic, and after reading some instructions, learnt that the only way to get it to appear in the Programs list is to install it via Activesync.
note: i recall that some one was able to extract the cab file (from exe files needing to be installed via activesync) from the installation so that future installs can be achieved without activesync.

how replace file system in windows folder

I would replace one file system in windows folder but it say me "access negate", I saw is a file "read-only" and because of this I haven't the access to edit it.
How I can edit it?

The built-in file manager doesn't trust us
Use something like Resco Explorer or Total Commander and you'll be able to overwrite most files in the windows folder.

[Q] fastes way to copyy from WINDOWS dir

What is the fastes way to copy files from WINDOWS-folder from my Phone to my laptop?
Cause when I try to open the Windows dir it takes ages to read it out.
Also when I try to copy multiple files I get an Error, but not if I copy one file
The other question is:
In what manilla file are the graphics located for Sense (Cookies Home tab installed)
Is there a list available?
Thanks

Fastest way is for me doing a full Backup with SPB Backup and then read this Backup on PC with the provided SPB Backup Explorer.

Maybe,

It depends on what you will sir; if you will changed some graphics (manilla file) you can used cfc_GUI; its a free prog. and its useful and simple.
you can find a way fore download; and how to use by taking a look on a friend's wonderful thread fore that.
"°°how to figure out wich manila file is for what°°"
Using together with M9Editor, helps you a lot more.
But like I mentioned; it depends on what you will do.

First copy ure wanted files on your storage card with an file explorer like total commander or resco file explorer, then connected ure hd2 to your notebook, chose Disk Drive and copy it to your harddrive.
to your 2nd question:
extract the manila files of cookies cab : http://msceinf.softonic.de/pocketpc
and then use method of previous post (cfg-gui)

Thank you very much
But I get this Error after importing the manilla files:
It says "Done" in the import list but I can't see any files, just this Error

[Q] I'm new to this world. How do I install apps from here?

Hi. I hope I'm posting this in the right section, but how would I install apps on my T-Mo MyTouch 3G Slide, that are offered on this or any other forum? Do I download them to my PC and first start the installation there, somehow? Or how would I do it??
I'm very new to this whole Android world. I just bought my phone.
Thanx for the help!!

Applications in this forum usually comes in the form of .apk's. An apk is an installer file for Android and must be run from the phone.
So you have two options when you find programs here on this forum:
1. You download the file on your PC, connect the phone to your PC and mount the SD-card, copy the file over and run it from your phone
2. Browse to the forums via your phone and download them directly and run them
It can be done via dropbox, chrome2phone, email etc as well if you want to

THANK YOU!!!!
The file that I download, copy in to any folder (Programs ect...) on to your SD card and run the file from the phone, correct? What is the format of that file needs to be? It won't be an *.exe right? What format do I make sure the correct file is? Is there any other ways? Just asking
Thank You!!

You can put it anywhere on the SD-card, just be sure you have some sort of file manager from the market and remember where you put it After that you just run it and it should install (if you get several options when you run the file, the correct one to run it with is "Package Installer").
The files will be in the format programname.apk

[Q] Writing a file back to a Marketplace apps Isolated Storage?

Hi All,
I've used Heathcliff's WP7RootTools 0.9 to extract a file from an installed apps IsolatedStorage. The app in question was installed from the Marketplace, but I want to modify some of the files it's saved to it's Isolated Storage.
I extracted the file I wanted to edit by using the Explorer utility in WP7RootTools to copy the file to the "My Documents" folder, and renamed the extension to docx. From there I could simply go into the Office Hub, where the file was now listed, and emailed the file to myself.
I have made the edits to the file, but now need to get the file back into the app's Isolated Storage. This is where I have now got a bit stuck
I've tried copying the file to SkyDrive, and using the Office Hub to download it from SkyDrive to my phone. The file downloaded and is cached on the phone somewhere, but the file location, according to Office is not "Phone". This is normal, as Skydrive downloaded documents are not saved to the "Phone" location until you open the document and do "Save as".
I cannot of course open the downloaded file, as it isn't really a .docx file. Files loacted in the "Phone" location show up in "My Documents" in the WP7RootTools explorer. SkyDrive downloaded documents I have no idea where they are located?
Can you guys help? Does anyone know the path to location of SkyDrive downloaded items on the phone. If so, then I can easily just use the WP7Roottools Explorer to copy the file back to the apps Isolated Storage.
Is there a better way to copy a non-Office file back onto the phone?
Regards,
Micro666

You could use one of these apps:

i was going to suggest using WPV App Data Backup, but it seems i saved the Backups in the wrong location... (will fix in next release)
so,
you can use TouchXperience or WMDC Launcher.

I'm looking to do the exact same thing....

Options:
1. Do exactly what you've been doing, but save as .txt instead of .docx. The phone can still open this, even though its probably a binary file, and save it to the "Phone" location. Then you can copy it back and rename it.
2. Use an app that gives direct access to the phone's filesystem from the PC, like TouchXperience+WPDM, or Root Webserver (see my sig)+your favorite webbrowser.
3. Use any other way to get a file onto the phone, such as emailing it to yourself, using IsolatedStorageexplorer, or putting it in a XAP files and installing that file. Then move the file with WP7 Root Tools.
I recommend approach #2.

I used TouchExperience.
1.On my Fully unlocked Device(I assume you can do this with root tools), I installed a file manager that gives full access to the device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24636416&postcount=23
2. I installed TouchEperience on my PC. After giving the WP7 app, Root tools rights, it should show most of the file system(on the PC) but, not all of it. So I created a new folder in \Windows (temp).
3. On the Phone, I hunted down the file I was looking for from Isolated Storage, I copied it to the \windows\temp folder.
4. Used the PC TouchExperience and browsed to \Windows\temp, there was my files, I copied them to my PC. USed the File Explorer to delete the files in my \temp folder(to make sure they were gone).
5. I edited the files, copied them back to \Windows\Temp on my device via TouchExperience on the PC. Then used the file explorer to copy them back to the Isolated Storage.
Note: The file explorer I posted a link to is GREAT, it can even edit files (basic text editor) in Isolated storage. I found a way to Cheat on a marketplace Xbox live game (didn't try others), right before the achivements, so they were really easy to get
I'm sure there is easier methods but, this worked for me...
Can I ask, what app did you try this on ?
Hope this helped...

FYI DavidinCT: Cheating XBL games is very risky. Microsoft often can detect it (for example, if you get one achievement that would have required getting another first) and they can and will permanently ban your Xbox Live account for doing so.
That all said... why didn't you just use WPDM (on the PC) to copy the file straight to the IsoStore of the app? So much easier...

To be honest, I only did it with a game that had an error when I got so far, so the final achivements of the game. A Game with a Known issue but, no fix.
And I just really wanted to see if I COULD do it...
I used WPDM but, the PC version even with my phone fully unlocked (custom rom on my VZW HTC Trophy) and using Root tools 0.9 to give full to TouchExperince root, would not see all the folders and would not see the IsoStore. SO I had to copy the files to a folder that WMDM could see.
Personally, the new File Explorer above is awsome, it's even got a editor in it, I didn't even need to go through all that......
