Anyone find this problem, my File Explorer not response when I try to copy or delete some file. Onely End task can stop that error, event i make soft reset still come error again.
Thanks
I have a similar problem...
However, for mine, when I copy and paste a file, the "hourglass" keeps going and going and going. After a while I just press the X and close the application.
When I open it again the file I was moving is moved and everything is where it should be (ie. copy and paste was successful)
I've got the I-mate 1.72 rom

Same problem as yours... The problem doesn't exist if using third party explorer.
I have another problem which made me decided to hard-reset it: Whenever I install an apps or game, I could not find the newly installed program shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs or \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games, I would need to soft-reset my device to make it appear.
I know how to resolve this problem
first goto Start---Program---AutoConfig-- then change network you want or leave default your system will running smooth again.
DON"T WORRY, your data will not lose.
Thanks
Actually, there is an awesome program you can use instead of the MS File Explorer. I just installed this because of these headaches, works good!
https://www.handango.com/PlatformPr...&order=desc&catalog=30&txtSearch=File+Manager
Some reasons
1. No compatible new fonts (may be for dictionary) with File Explorer
2. No compatible new themes (ppc2002) with File Explorer
Solution
Delete new font from windows/fonts
Back to theme windows default then soft reset
Silly question I suppose..how I can install on my pda the TyTn gray graph dialer which is situated in the wiki? It's a lot of file .cab inside the .rar file.. and also, I have downloaded (always trough the wiki) two themes, the original black one of wm6 and the original vodafone one. I have two .rar file, each one has the name of the theme, and inside two and three files..how do I install these themes?
Anyone knows how please??
Assuming this isnt in the wiki... (which i bet it is)
to install the cab files for the dialler, just put the cab on the device with activesync (click explore) and then run it through the file manager on the phone. (same as any cab)
To install the themes.. inside the RAR there is probably a .tsk file.. copy that (using activesync's explore button again) to the windows folder on the phone.. then you can choose it from the start, settings, today, themes tab in the phone itself.
Hope that helps.
UPDATE 12-21-08
There is some talk that you need to also install the Sdcerts cab before this process will work. Freezing the phone sucks so i would do this first. I will add it to page one.
After bricking my phone three times-I finally got it right. I have a HTC Touch Pro-nobody really explained it to me like I was a two year old-so I decided to break it down. You have to be careful or you will freeze up the phone and then be forced to hard reset. That sucks. So this worked for me. You should extract your own shellres.dll.0409.mui using rom extractor. This is not difficult if you follow these directions. All of the programs are free and I am making a zip to include them all. I included my own shellres.dll.0409.mui. The 0409 refers to the language. It is the code for English.
1. I installed the cab -icon demarrer. It makes a couple registry changes that help the process.
2. Then I used a the rom extractor to get my shellres.dll.0409.mui and copied it to the storage card you have to enter path:\windows\shellres.dll.0409.mui and save to \storage card\shellres.dll.0409.mui To install the Rom extractor You just put the Rom extractor into active sync
3. Then drag the file to the desktop of your computer use unsigner-just drag the file over the unsigner and it is unsigned
4. Then drag the same extracted file over reshacker and navigate the file to change string 321 in the shellres.dll.0409.mui to whatever you want it to say
5. Then open msigner and navigate to your saved file shellres.dll.0409.mui to resign the file
6. Then go to settings/today/items and uncheck to turn off touch flo and then copy the new file from your desktop to the storage card.
7. Install Total Commander on your device-you do this by opening it on your home computer. Then open total commander on your device and navigate to the new file shellres.dll.0409.mui-in the storage card. Then press the stylus on the shellres.dll.0409.mui file and save to clipboard
8. Then use Total Commander to search windows directory for the shellres.dll.0409.mui that is still in the phone. (If possible-rename the file shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak or if not possible press the stylus on top of the shellres.dll.0409.mui that is in the phone and selected for the drop down menue that appears-Paste Here.
9. Then soft reset. Here it is. I included everything you need in the Zip file! Here is where I started-but it is vague-great start icons in the thread though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264
The HTC start icon is on the zip entitled shellres.192.dll
Just say thank you if any of this helps you
language codes
Your can use the file I included in the zip if you do not want to extract. just change the numbers
shellres.dll.XXXX.mui in place of the XXXX It is 0409 for english-if you want another you can use one of these codes. If you don't have an htc touch pro the file may be named shellres.dll.96.XXXX.mui
0404 CHT Chinese Traditional
0804 CHS Chinese Simplified
0405 CSY Czech
0406 DAN Danish
0413 NLD Dutch
0409 USA English
0407 GER German
0408 ELL Greek
040b FIN Finnish
040c FRA French
040e HUN Hungarian
0410 ITA Italian
0411 JPN Japanese
0412 KOR Korean
0414 NOR Norwegian
0415 PLK Polish
0416 PTB Portuguese Brazil
0816 PTG Portuguese Portugal
0418 ROM Romanian
0419 RUS Russian
041b SKY Slovak
0c0a ESN Spanish
041d SVE Swedish
041f TRK Turkish
You can also change the Start Icon which is really cool. In my touch pro it is in file shellres.192.dll under icon group 4609-
1. Download shellres.192.dll to your storage card. Use total commander to search the windows folder for shellres.192.dll
2. Press the stylus on the file and select copy to clipboard
navigate with total commander to the storage card and press the stylus there and select "paste here"
3. Use unsigner to unsign the file
4. use reshacker to open the file and navigate to "Icon Group" 4609. You will see your icon in the program.
5. Select menu "Action" and replace. Navigate to the icon you want. Select it. Save the file.
6. Sign the file with the Msigner
7. Place the file in the Storage card
8. Use Total Commander to locate shellres.192.dll and rename it shellres.192.dll.bak
9. Use total commander to find your new file in the storage card, and move it to the windows folder of your device.
10. Restart with a soft reset adn enjoy your new icon.

Can you explain one point ... ?
I tried to extract the file shellres.dll.040C.mui (french WM6.0) directly into \windows, and before modifying the file with my computer, I just re-boot the device with that change (so, just a ROM file extraction but without any modification in the file) ... and then, the device is frozen on the Windows welcome page.
Can you explain that ?

Did you follow steps exactly? You have to be careful. You can see from my screen shots that it works. I change my text every day as i feel. Did you install the icon demarrer cab?
you should also be able to navigate to the file shellres.dll.040C.mui (with Total Commander) and press the stylus on it and select copy to clip board. Then navigate to the storage card and press the stylus on a blank area and select copy here. The handheld needs the dll to work-so it is not removed from the device it is just copied.
Also make sure that your computers folders are set to view hidden files. It took me a while to get this right-and there is no step by step tutorial but the one i made here-from what I found.
Ok, but the result is the file shellres.dll.xxxx.mui in \windows
Whatever the handling, from the ROM to the SD card, to the computer, ..., the clipboard, ..., the file is finally copied in \windows
So, how can we explain that a direct extraction to \windows cannot work ?
Which operation in your process can avoid the problem ?
I don't want to modify the icon, just the text...
.. and I'm sure that works on your device, I have no doubt about that. I just would like to understand.
I also use Total Commander and it displays the hidden files.
What is the icon demarrer (french word ?) cab ? And what is the unsigner/signer method ?

The icon demmarer is a cab made by a developer. i included it, and all the necessary programs in the zip file. The cab just changes a few resgistry settings to allow this. (i believe) The file once copied to your computer can be manipulated and string value 321 changed-then compile script, save and sign. all included in the zip.
I want to know that you are able to do it, as I am.

I am having the same problem as Lewis and my device locked up twice at the windows login screen. You cannot modify the file with commander no matter what you do with your steps. There has to be something you left out. I am very good at what I do and am very far from being an ameteur

Total Commander is only used to move the file-not modify it. Follow the steps exactly. Rename the old mui to mui.back.
and install the icon demarrer cab fisrt. Turn off touch flo before. I have a Sprint HTC Touch pro with a stock rom.
The cab demarrer may be strongly needed, or/and the unsigner/signer software ?
It should be useful to know what the cab and signer/unsigner do.
Which key in the registry is concerned ?
Is ResHacker needed ? Is ROM extractor not enough ?
And mainly, why does only an extraction to \windows freeze the device after a reboot ?
I'm trying to contact the ROM extractor developer VK (a.k.a. THEVK, GreateVK)...

You have to read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264 Someone else made the icon dem cab. All I know is I read every page of every thread about this tweak-none was a road map-I just knew it could be done so I kept trying til I got it. I had to mod my start text from trying and reading. I finally got it with this method. the extraction alone will not freeze the phone-since the file is not removed from the windows registry. It is in fact not possible to remove shellres.dll.xxxx.mui since it is the entire shell of the phone.
Read every thread about start text
Ok, but the extraction will freeze the device if we do only this
So, this is the reason why the icon cab and/or one of the other operations avoid that.
Probably like Chosen4Goodness, I confirm that, if I extract the file and re-boot without any other change, the device is frozen...
freeze
Anxious to hear that someone other than me was able to follow these directions step by step and not freeze their device.
Don't worry, I'm probably not soo good !
or my device, or the WM version is too sensitive !
And it seems that many people succeeded ! There are a lot of evidences on this site.

I read in one thread how to change the word "Start". I tried to do it and I got a frozen device after reboot. So, a hard reset was needed. Another guy in this site got the same problem this week.
In fact, if I only extract shellres.dll.040C.mui (WM6.0 french version) to \windows\shellres.dll.040C.mui without any other change, I get the same problem.
So, maybe you can explain in more details how to do. Where to save the extracted file and to install at the end ? Is another operation needed ?

I couldn't send you a pm because you have your profile set to not accept incoming pm. Anyways, these are the steps that I follow to do this:
1. Extract shellres.dll.XXXX.mui via ROM Extractor;
2. Open it with ResHacker;
3. Look for String Table -> 321 -> Line 5120 and change this to whatever you want;
4. Hit "Compile"
5. Save the file. At this point, you will have two shellres files - one of them will have "original" in the file name. Just save that one in case you want to keep it.
6. Transfer to device via ActiveSync (USB, I haven't tried any other connection such as BT, Wifi, etc) into \Windows
7. Soft Reset your device.
How are you doing the transfer back to the device? It might be that the file is not transferring completely to the device, or getting corrupted in the process. TotalCommander, and Resco have not worked for me for this purpose. Give it a shot and see if it works.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
Ok, I have modified my profile.
I need a precise information about the location "Save to" in ROM extractor.
Because doing only that, to \windows\shellres.dll.040C.mui (the same file location than the ROM), is enough to freeze the device after a reboot !
So, why ?
I tried only that "simple" operation because I tried the 1st time the complete one (modify the file and transfer to the device) and I got the same problem. I believed that was due to the change in the file but the extraction is enough.
Maybe we have not to extract in \windows ?

My quesstion is why the reboot after extraction to save to \storage card\shellres.dll.0409.mui?
Also I think the last post above yours neglected to unsign and resign the file. I have fund that improper signing causes a freeze.
I know it is damn tricky since I froze mine three times, prior to doing it this way. Let me know how it goes.
I have no storage card. I reboot because I often close the device.
Could you explain the sign/unsign method ? That seems important as you say !
Which tool we have to use ?

The programs are in the zip. But I think you need a storage card. That way the Mui file is extracted to something other than the phone itself. Get a storage card and then try it. They are not expensive.
Once extracted to storage drag the file on top of the unsign icon-it will flash and that is it. It is unsigned. Then open reshack and change out the word "Start"
compile script
save
Now drag the file over the msigner.
You will have to tell the program where to find the file through the interface of the msigner program.
It will sign the file and then you will have two shellres files. One will be shellres.dll.xxxx_original.mui or something like that. That is the old file.
place the new signed file in your storage card.
then follow the rest of the directions
In the program shortcut of the alltel TP the top 8 program shortcuts are locked and you cant change them to another is there an easy way around this? im not looking to have to do alot to change this but it would be nice if i could put useful programs there
thanks in advance

ok is that just a cab file i need to download?
edit: tried it and it didnt work for me and i dont know how to do his fix any other options?
Yes, download and install the cab file. Then go into the directory using file explorer and delete the tweaks file, and soft reset. You should be good to go!

thank you worked like a charm
If you want to keep the Tweaks.xml so you can use the performance tweaks, do a search on here and you'll find an enhanced Tweaks.xml file that will work with your TP. I found it and was able to get some more speed out of touchflo...
download a custom rom and tweak away =)
OK, i already removed the the locked alltel programs on the tf3d tab (ie: ringtones jukebox, get alltel games) and even went a step further by going into file explorer, windows folder and start menu folder and I deleted the bloatware programs that i never used (i dont need the ringtones program thanks to mp3 trimmer ). I've deleted all of the files for it but there is one that i cant uninstall. Ive used various file programs like the windows file explorer, total commander, and resco and still cant delete the files. Is there any way for me to remove these programs?

It was easy, download the program, install it, go into the install directory, delete the file called tweaks, restart the device and run the program, click on the program launcher tab on the bottom and remove any programs you don't want to show.
Thanks for the tip, worked like a charm!!

The way i deleted them was i went into file explorer then into the WINDOWS/Start Menu/Programs. Delete the programs that u dont want by pressing and holding the item until a menu pops up then select "delete". This takes away the programs u dont want from your programs menu. I went a step further and navigated back to the WINDOWS directory then searched for the filename of the program i didnt want (i e Ringtone jukebox) i then deleted those programs and they were completely removed from all of my phone menus.
Hi, I have total commander, and when I download files, it automatically opens zips or cab files, and more annoyingly it automatically starts to installed the downloaded cab files. Is there a way to disable this feature in Total Commander?
I dont think that's TC, but rather it is a function of the browser. Any chance you are using IE to download. Its default is to open files when download is complete. You need to uncheck the checkbox at downlosd time if that is the case.
-Doc
Im using Skyfire
Your right, I uninstalled TC and used IE to download a file, I noticed that the option to open file after download was enabled, so I unchecked it. However, I use Skyfire and I dont have an option for downloads. I downloaded a zip file and sure enough after downloading, it open the zip file. There has to be something that is auto opening zips...cabs...
