I know people use total commander but I have no idea how to use it. Is there an easier way? Or can someone explain to me how to use it to copy over some files to my \windows\ folder?

Just use Resco Explorer (http://resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp). It's not freeware but is a great application with the ability to overwrite protected files and has many settings to play with.

Yeah I was actually looking into that program. Heard a lot of good things about it. Any place with a good tutorial on it?

Select the file you want... Click file... Select Copy/Move... Click Tree to select where you want to drop the file.

I found this at this page (http://blogs.lanlogic.net/blogs/tom/archive/2007/12/05/how-to-remove-files-from-a-windows-mobile-device.aspx), and it works for me about 90% of the time.


Download EnableRAPI and extract all files from the zip archive.
Double click on EnableRAPI.bat and leave the DOS window it launches open
Open Folder Options and choose to "Show hidden files and folders" and de-select the "Hide protected operating system files" option.
On Windows XP, this would be done by launching Windows Explorer and clicking on Tools --> Folder Options and then the View tab.
On Windows Vista, this would be done by going to Folder Options from the Control Panel and then clicking on the View tab.
Connect your device to your PC using ActiveSync (Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista).
Browse the device's file system using the File Manager tool in ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center.
When you have finished making all of your modifications, close the EnableRAPI DOS window.


I'm not sure what this actually does, though, or why it works.
