    Using a custom explorer.exe - Anyone got it working?


    I'm trying to use a custom explorer.exe (well, replacing a icon in explorer). When I do this, I get error 0xc0000142.

    I've tried just replacing explorer with Windows 7's explorer (as the icon I wanted to use was Windows 7's explorer icon, and I was also curious to see how the shell would change with 7's explorer). I tried two methods; directly replacing explorer, and using group policy editor to allow custom shells. No luck with either, I still get the error mentioned above. Anyone tried replacing explorer? Did it work?

    Edit: Downloading OldNewExplorer. Will update post if it works.

    Edit 2: Worked until reboot.

    :)

    WM6/Bluetooth/Activesync 4.5 Anyone got it working?

    On my laptop, Active sync4.5 only shows com port 18 and won't let me change it I have a USB bluetooth for the laptop and a samsung pda phone. The computer sees the phone, but active sync has no bluetooth setting.

    WM6/Bluetooth/Activesync 4.5 Anyone got it working?

    I have a Treo 750 running WM6 using ActiveSync 4.5, I am using a Logitech BT Dongle, To get this to work I did the normal pairing, then I went into BT Configuration on the PC and on the Local Services tab at the very bottom was Bluetooth Serial Port, it
    was set on manual, I set it to Automatic by clicking properties, then ok. Then I went to my Treo and into Bluetooth settings, selected my PC hit the refresh button, then a dialog box appeared stating my phone was trying to connect to a com port I allowed.
    ActiveSync appeared in the list, I selected it and was able to finally sync to my PC. If this does not work try going to My Computer Icon, right click go to properties, then go to Hardware tab, then Device Manager, then on Bluetooth Devices and anything under
    that tree right click on them and select Scan for hardware changes. Then try to do a refresh on your Treo's BT settings for your PC it should appear and you should be able to sync now. If not......try to read more threads......
