I had a problem with that when I was using CERegEditor and I had used the tool to unlock the registry, or so I thought, many times. Would also give me the "access is denied" message.

What I ended up doing was bringing up the item that I wanted to edit, rather than just showing the main three items, actually brought up the machine/hardware/touch so that I was viewing the items on it. Then, I used the tool to unlock and . . . Voila!! It allowed me to change.

If that helps. . . . .

Change the cursor:
hklm/system/state/samsung/mouse
Change the CursorShape to a value from 0 to 24. No soft-reset required!

The filename is also mentioned in the key "FileName", haven't tried changing it, but you might be able to create custom cursors as well.

Notice that the cursor filename is +1 of the CursorShape value



how do i navigate to hklm?

Hey, that original .reg file I made in the today 2 post is broken (sammy2.zip). Use this one instead:

Help a Techno. Challenged Mom! I think I understand most stuff, but juse where should I install this? Should I install it in the Windows of my Omnia or should I install using my 3rd party app. Resco Explorer. I'll be happy to donate with this and future assistance on other tips and tricks. I just need specific details. I can handle it. I'm not that Techno. Challenged.
Thank you in advance for your time and efforts with a follow-up to this question. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
abb

abb...no worries, we will have you techno-savvy in no time. That post your refering to is a zip file containing a reg setting/file, all you need to do is to download the file, un-zip the reg file and place it anywhere on your device (main memory, My Memory, or even a storage card) and then just click on it. The setting will automatically make the change it needs to on your device and you have nothing more to do than enjoy the change made by the file!!!

Hope that helps!!!

P.S. Wolcome to the community

When I did it, I downloaded the .cab (file in the link you provided) to my desktop/laptop. I connected my phone to my laptop via the USB cable. Go into the phone Settings>Connections Tab>USB Connection Mode and make sure Mass Storage is selected and hit ok. Then go into your PC My Computer and select the drive that comes up as an external/usb/device/etc (which will be your phone you just connected). Copy and paste the .cab file you downloded into that drive. Go back into your Settings>Connections Tab and select the ActiveSync option instead of the Mass Storage (Otherwise your storage card drive will not show up in the File Explorer list). Disconnect your phone from the PC and go into Programs>File Explorer>My Storage. The my storage folder will be the folder icon in the list with a chip icon over it. Open the my storage and find the Samsung Today 2 Cab file. Select it and it will start to install the file. It will ask you if you want it stored on Device or Storage Card. Select Device and hit ok.

Once installed, go to Settings>Personal Tab>Today. Click on the Items Tab and make sure the Samsung Today 2 box is checked. Uncheck the Samnsung Today and Samsung Widget boxes if they are checked.

You are good to go!
