I use Rescoe Explorer, and I looked in the windows directory and I used the search feature for the thread_sms.html and I can't find it either. Whats the deal why can't I find such a simple file?

Sorry for such a seemingly easy question, but I tried the search. I created a copy on my laptop with a modified thread_sms.htm to do this tweak. However, I'm unable to overwrite the existing file on the touch pro as it is "protected". I can't change the read-only setting on the original version on the pro (as viewed with windows explorer) on the laptop. Can't delete or rename the original file on the device either.

Do I need one of these editors on the handheld? I'd really prefer to just edit files on my laptop and then copy to device.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

when you hit your registry editor whether it wil be resco,phm or whatever make sure you are under device and look down.

I don't think your response was directed at me...but if it was...

I am in the right windows directory (accessing via USB on laptop), and can see the file to be updated. However, I can't change the read only properties on this file via Windows Explorer, nor can I overwrite it with a copy /edited version via notepad. This file is write protected beyond what I can alter with windows explorer. XP machine if it matters.

I've seen some references to total commander....does it have more "power" to overlay these types of protected files?

Thanks.

dude; copy the file to the sd and transfer it to your pc/lappy. There; in your pc/lappy you make the changes via note pad* copy back to sd & then overwrite the file in windows with Resco or else* resco is da man
