Exporting your registry to the Settings Folder

This is probably the most important section for minimizing the amount of time you have to spend setting up your device after you flash.

Tools

First thing you need is some tools to browse and export registry keys.

My two recommendation (there are many others) are:

• Total Commander
  • cecmd.arm.cab is the beta WM 6.5 verion
• Resco registry editor: HERE

Since Total Commander is free, I will use it for demonstration purposes.

1. Select \\Plugins --> registry
2. Navigate to the appropriate key
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\Home is for example where the shortcuts on the Manila home screen are stored. Exporting this entire key will restore your shortcuts.
3. Press and hold on the key and select Copy/Move
4. Save the file to your storage card.
5. Copy to your computer in the Settings folder.
   • Edit as needed - I recommend reviewing it to make sure you only carry forward what you need and avoid problems.
   • Rename if you like
   • You can also arrange settings in sub-folders.
