(This may seem rude, but i've done a lot of tech support in my day, and so i have to ask. - sorry.)

Are you typing this in Total Commander? If so and it still isn't working, try this:

• tap the '\' button next to the address bar.
• tap the folder '\\'
• tap the folder 'registry'

Once you get there i'd recommend using the 'directory hotlist' (bookmark) functionality of Total Commander.

To do this:

• navigate to the folder/registry/ftp location you want to add to the hotlist
• tap the 'show' menu at the bottom of the screen
• tap 'Directory hotlist' in the menu that appears
• tap 'Add current dir' in the next menu that appears
• give the bookmark a name you'll remember (sometimes the default isn't very good) and tap 'OK'

To get to a bookmarked folder/registry/ftp location location:

• tap the 'show' menu at the bottom of the screen
• tap 'Directory hotlist' in the menu that appears
• tap the location you wish to go to.

to remove a folder/registry location/ftp location from the hotlist:
(this one took some looking cuz i completely looked over it. - apparently i'm blind.)

• (optional if you are at the location you wish to remove)
  
  • tap the 'show' menu at the bottom of the screen
  • tap 'Directory hotlist' in the menu that appears
  • tap the location you wish to go to.
• once you are in the location you want to remove from the hotlist:
  
  • tap the 'show' menu at the bottom of the screen
  • tap 'Directory hotlist' in the menu that appears
  • tap 'Remove current dir'

thank you for taking the time out to respond to my pathetic problem but, your tech support didn't fix the issue. (sorry). yes i am in total commander but this is where it gets interesting. i don't have a "\\" folder in my list. even after hitting the "\" button next to the address bar. i even checked in tree mode to see if i was missing it but have been unsuccsessful at locating such a folder. im sure once i locate it everything else will be cream cheese. any suggestions? maybe a reinstall? i dunno. help.

I'd say, uninstall Total Commander, then soft reset, then reinstall total commander and see if it works. Hope it helps...

yes indeedy a reinstall worked,that was just weird that the folder didn't show up before.

I had the same thing when I first installed Total Commander. i couldnt find the registry anywhere. i reinstalled TC and POOF...there it was....just like it was supposed to be

I am not totally sure what the rest of these people have been saying, however, when you open total commander - when you are at the 'root' of your mobile device - the very first forlder listed is '\\plugins\' this is the folder that you need to select - as it has FTP - Registry - and LAN under this. I am using tcmdpocket25_armpubbeta2.exe.

I hope that helps.

This hasn't been my first site for info on my New PPC but You provided the IMPORTANT Few characters I needed so desperately. So I'll be back !!!

Three Backslashes !!! in Total Commander. Nice Light & Tight little App & I havent unlocked my PPC, but it works. I was trying other reg edit apps and finally found the inportant how to get to the registry.. from here.. THANKS SO MUCH..!!

I'm hacking my sprint mobile's opening & closing slider sounds at the moment ,, but theres a page full of SPEED tweaks I need to get to and NOW I can THANK YOU !!!!!

That's because you put the executable on the Storage Card. The HTC Wizard cannot access the Storage Card in the first few seconds after it booted the OS. It is in that time frame that WM5 tries to follow the shortcut.

Try putting Smartskey, and if you use it OMAP Overclock, in Main Memory.

I had the same problem. I tried putting Smartskey on the storage card like it said to do. It did not work there. I moved it to the phone memory and it worked but the original shortcut continues to try to execute. And I can't seem to be able to stop it. It keeps locking up my phone and giving me a "Notificate" error that it "Cannot execute "\Storage Card\smartskey\smartskey.exe". I have found the shortcut and deleted it. I have reinstalled the program and executed it from the phone memory. And I have uninstalled all of them and manually deleted the directories that hold all of the smartskey files. I suspect that there is a command in a file that is trying to execute but I can't find it and I do not want to do a hard reset and have to reinstall everything for the fourth time.

Thanks for any help here.

to jschaff: u need to delete the smartskey.exe in the notification queue (use memmaid or Scarybear software called Check Notifications Version 1.9 and delete the "smartskey.exe" file....then re install smartskey......hope that helps.

I've had the same problem (due to a previous installation of the samrtskey.exe on the storage card, I got the warning (Dutch): "Foutmelding: Kan StorageCard/smartskey.exe niet uitvoeren"); I've placed the description in Dutch, perhaps other people have the same problem and if you google it in Dutch you can't find any info...

Nevertheless, I've un-installed smartskey.exe, and the shortcut and still warning was poping-up. I've then used MemMaid to remove smartskey.exe (and the duplicates) from the Notification Queue. Still didnt work ...
Then I've used Resco Registry, delete all keys pointing to smartskey, re-run Memmaid again and delete the smartskey from the queue, and voila, the warning IT"S GONE.
