Spot the thicky contest...

...oh, I win again! It's me...

Picked up an Orbit 2 yesterday, I was looking for the cheapest total cost of ownership for a new 12 month contract - ended up on business £35 + vat per month, £493 over the year (+ no up front costs), free BT headset and free calls to 10 landlines.

Anyway, I've had it 24 hours and I want to start playing - simplest things to start with seem like registry hacks like GPS photo tagging. I'm experienced with Windows XP, but the old start>run>regedit doesn't work :-)

Looked in the wiki, not too many clues for WM6 - How is everyone editing the registry?

Also settings>connections>wifi does not find any networks, however if I enter the details manually it connects. Does WM6 scan for available networks like XP on my laptop, or do you need to know it's there? What's the best way of discovering local 'community access';) points

Sorry if this is bleedin' obvious to everyone else, I did try a search (here and google) but it's all greek to me - any links to good guides for WM virgins greatly appreciated.

Hi,

To edit the registry, I use Total Commander. Many use Resco Explorer.
About the Wifi, when it's ON, WM searching for available network.
When network is found, a pop-up appears and you have to put your user name/password. To find "'community access points" you can use WifiFofum.

Pocket controller pro is the best I've tried. You can edit from computer, with your keyboard. Much safer
