Well surprisingly my email worked but a few of my other reg edits didn't work out. The finger keyboard cab I built for myself didn't work out either. Not quite sure what I did wrong there. my startmenu, tab order, pimbackup, quicklinks, texttone, alarm, screentextsize, not sure if my arcsoft reg edits took either but I had installed the cab anyway so it probably didn't matter.

Add...I think I have discovered why my reg edits didn't work. Some reason they all started with "Regedit4" and that is not correct. So I am going back and resaving them all. My Hotmail did not set up the way I prefer so I will have to dig into that some more.

Add...I am just about ready to hard reset. I hope all these reg backups work this time. I just got all my icons set again.

Well just about have all the settings I want. I donKt like the version of Hotmail I am forced to use when I set it up with the xml file. It works but not the version I like to use.

Make sure that your registry files are saved in Unicode. (You may have to edit them on your PC.) For whatever reason, registry files that are non-unicode are not processed.

If you are using Notepad, click the File -> Save As. Under encoding, make sure it says Unicode, and not ANSI.

Since the email settings are stored in a XML file is there a way to secure that file? I wouldn't want someone that finds my phone to have access to my Exchange login information. Is there a way to password protect the XML file - or something similar?

Thanks!

Best answer is to not save your password. It will still configure the settings and then prompt you when it initiates the first sync.
