How, What & Where

Hi all, I will start this page for all Omnia users to browse through quickly...All are welcome to contribute/suggest/feedback.

After you installed any Registry Editor, you will see the terms such as HKCR, HKCU, HKLM & HKU.

HKCR - When an application is installed, it sets up a unique GUID for the application and associates selected file extensions or mime types with the application.
HKCU - Where the application and operating system stores settings that are user specific.
HKLM - This is where the operating system stores hardware settings.

The registry editors that I know of are:
Kilmist Registry Editor
PHM RegEdit - Freeware (I am using this)
Resco Explorer
TascalSoft Registry Editor - Freeware
Total Commander - Freeware

The following is based on i900, it might or might not work for other models.
If you edit the regisry you do so at your own risk!
