Hi,

Im sorry if this has been discussed in earlier topics. Im wondering if its possible to include commercial applications such as SPB Pocket Plus, Pocket Informant etc... , into the extended ROM ? - this way you don't have to install them again in case of a hard reset. If it is possible , can someone please specify the details ....

Thanks.

you can add any application to the extended ROM if you have the CAB(s) file of the installation.

First, you should unlock and unhide the extended ROM using the required tools from this forum. Then add your cab file to the extended ROM, and modify the file named "Config.txt" by adding the new cab file name among the rest of cab files. After that, you should lock and hide the extended ROM back.

Thank for the reply. However - most commercial applications such as those mentioned on my original post do not come in single cab files. They are usually come in single installation .exe files/

Any ideas ?

Check your applications installation directory or the 'Program files/Microsoft Activesync/yourprogram' for the CAB files.

and often exe install files for pocketpc
can just be renamed to zip and you can open them and copy out the cab
file you need
