Can someone please help me? Tethering on Touch Pro 2

I got this phone today, but I don't know what to do, to enable Internet Connection Sharing. I need help, mainly with what do I do with a cab file, and where do I put the cab file on my Touch Pro 2.

This phone will be an uphill battle for you, just return it now.

Though to answer:
Put .cab anywhere on the phone if you are downloading it via the phone or putting it on your microSD card. Browse with file explorer to where you put the .cab file and click it. It will install and should turn your phone off then back on. Go into programs and find what you installed and run it.

To USB tether you must have active sync installed on your computer.

Did you want to wirelessly tether internet from your phone to your comp (as in making your phone into a wireless router)?
Or did you want to do it via bluetooth/usb?

To wirelessly tether internet use HTC's wifi router cab found here:

Just copy the .cab into your phone/storage card and then go to file explorer on your phone and open the .cab

Follow the instructions and after installation, open the program.
It's pretty straight forward from there. Exactly the same as connecting your computer to a wifi network.

A simple search would have result unlimited internet sharing cabs for WM6.1 and hes asking what to do with a cab.

He probably registered today and made his first post.

Well I wanted it to be like on my Touch Pro from Sprint. where I would connect my USB 2.0 cable, start up Internet Sharing and Hit connect that was it.

no bluetooth.

WiFi Router I don't know what that is, can someone please give me the Idiots Explanation to what that does, because my Laptop already has Intel 5300 N WiFi. It has 3 antennas very strong.

I mostly like EVDO Rev.A Tethering via USB because if I am somewhere that lacks WiFi, I can "tether" at Fast speeds.

thats all.
