Received my Exec today, thanks to EVERYONE that has provided Reg hacks and advice on this excellent forum.

I've got the following questions...

1. I installed the Reg hack to reduce fonts from 900 to 700 and it appears to have taken effect but ONLY on the dropdown menu when within File Explorer, the smaller fonts appear nowhere else - I believed they would reduce/change the Start Menu's font?

2. When browsing a network drive share, is there a hack that will allow the Exec to launch the applications without having to copy them to the local Exec/SD card? For instance, I like to download CAB files on my desktop PC and access the share via the Exec to actually install them.

3. I had an XDA2s (still in posession) from which I've upgraded, I was able to bluetooth transfer all of my contacts across BUT whats the easiest way without using ActiveSync, to transfer my old/current Text Messages across?

4. I like web browsing and have great eyesight, therefore I'm wondering if there is a web browser for PocketPC available that will literally scale an entire website down to show on the Exec's display? I don't want it to 'adapt' the website, but literally scale it down! Anything out?

Appreciate all of your help!

Already there, hehe - back to my other points though, anyway that you can help? Especially with the text messaging and transfering the data store??

i run cab installers from network share over wifi, not had any issues with that, specially now that the cabs dont get deleted after install anymore, I am using resco explorer to do it tho, it might be an issues with the default explorer that stops you.


As for webpage viewing, i suggest the VGA have weve mastered.

As for text messages, i never keep them long enough. :)

Yeah, installed Resco last night and as you say I can now launch apps over the network, unsure why the standard File Explorer doesn't allow tht!

Text Messages are my next major problem, anyone else any ideas?
