Creating Own .cab files for settings etc...

---

Ive been messing about with my TyTN lately and just find it a right royal pain to put my settings back in etc...
...what im asking is is there any way to make a .cab installer that will let me reinstate all my GPRS/MMS/EMAIL settings etc... and copy a few files to the windows folders etc...(ringtones and sounds)???

Just in the event of needing to do a hard reset away from the PC a .cab installer on my SD card would be a godsend!

anyone?

yes, WINCAB CE is a 15 use free application that lets you create and view .cab files. If you search the forums there a numerus threads that contain registry keys for your setings etc
If you download the .cab files for your network provider again from the threads on this forum you can then import them into your own custom cab file using this software.
attached is a file that i use to set name, brightness levels, pIE homepage, and a couple of other tweaks, just edit this one and/or add your own. this should work on all WM2005 devices as it uses the same program language. hope this helps....

I spent the first 3 days after having my tytn making a cab of all my programs and settings cos I hard reset quite a lot, I made a big cab file with everything i like to install on internal storage and with all the settings of the programs I keep in the storage card. I think it is worth to spend the time initially.

What i found most useful was RegDiff to generate .reg files out of two exported registry dumps, registry workshop to browse / export the registry on the PocketPC from the computer and compare current regitry settings on PocketPC with a previously dumped registry file and WinCE Cab Manager to combine the cabs of all the programs I install, set the registry settings, and put shorcuts to all applications into the right places.

Forgive me for digging up an old thread, but this is exactly what I need, a tool that can make a backup of my MMS, GPRS and Email settings. I just got my X01HT yesterday and I've been playing around with different WM6 ROMs and it seriously is a pain to manually enter all my MMS, GPRS, and email settings for every ROM install I do. I also plan on doing the keyboard layout registry fix for the slide out keyboard, and I would but a lot easier to have that registry fix backed up.

pof posted how to do it with three seperate programs, I'm just wondering if there is a program that can do it all in one? I know it's been over six months since this thread was started and I'm just hoping that a simpler way has been made to do this. Any input and help on this matter is appreciated, thanks

Does anybody have the Wincab ce program that they can upload, it seems that the download site is having problems, I am unable to download from them and I can't seem to find it anywhere else, googled and it brings up very little.

Thanks

Thank you for the site.

Thanks for posting it.

Can anybody direct me to a thread or WIKI to get more on this. I tried searching but returned nothing helpful. I just want to create a simple cab file with my operator settings.
Thanks
