Easy updating qa_layouts.dat with your own manipulated xml files.

Add your own XML files in the qa_layouts.dat, the simple way:

If not exist, ShellExstention makes a subfolder for You in the spb install folder, named ZipToDat. ( F.i. “Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\ZipToDat\”) When you put xml files in this sub-folder and you restart the SPB shell with ShellExtension, the XML files are read in the qa_layouts.dat file at the correct way.

(Use only the XMLs you extracted from the qa_layouts.dat file or extra files you want in the .dat file)

(After update the dat file the XML(s) are deleted from the ZipToDat folder, leaving the folder empty)

Uninstall:

The first time you run the program and it changes the qa_layouts.dat file it makes a backup of the original file. Named qa_lauouts_bup.dat. If you want to go back to the original file just remove the qa_layouts.dat and rename the qa_layouts_bup.dat. then start ShellExtension and go to <-Extra carousel screens><-Remove all extra screens> Restart SPB shell and you are back to normal.

Install:

Pre installation of the .net 3.5 is required

and SPB mobile shell 3.x.x.

For a problem free installation I recommend to use this software on an clean SPB Shell Install. It has no preconfigured .dat files it change the XML files and registry on the fly. Therefore it looks at pacific points in the XMLs or registry to place the extra data in

Just extract the zip file and copy both files to a place of your choice on your PDA. Both in the same folder. The first time you start ShellExtension it registers itself and the dll. That’s all ...

The Holydays,:) the use of SPB Shell 3 and the tips and tricks on this forum made me starting to program ShellExtension. I made it for my own use. When I read that a lot of users having trouble using the tips and tricks on this forum, I decided to place my piece of work as a download for those. Its correct that not all the stuff in ShellExtension is my idea. But I don’t know from who I had witch tips and tricks. I am sure they posted at this forum. Thanks for that…:D
