[Anton D. Nagy]

Most of the tweaks and hacks we post here on pocketnow.com require users to edit (modify, delete from or add to) their device’s registry and we receive several requests and questions where users ask us “How to edit the registry?” Read on for our Tutorial on How to Edit Your Registry!

Nice article.

The link to Total Commander at the end is wrong, you put in same link as DotFred's task manager!

Fixed! Thanks Amit.

Ah, also another thing I just noticed, the "Read On" in the 1st post here links to your review of Samsung Propel, Brandon, instead of pointing to the article on registry editing by Anton.

Great article Anton. This may sound silly but I'm asking in behalf of a lot of people who may not have known about this before: Why would anyone want to edit their WM registry? Thanks love.

Well, Jenna - there are tons of little changes that you can make to Windows Mobile by editing the registry. That is one of the chief reasons why we love Windows Mobile over, say, iPhone. For example, here are some sweet tweaks that can only be achieved via a registry edit:

- Increase video playback performance
- Enable picture panoramic capability
- Adjusting date format
- Customize elements of TouchFLO 3D
- Adjust power settings to get better battery life
- Increase screen sensitivity

and so on. Check out the following section of our wiki for a more robust listing:

Excellent answer Brandon! You also made it a lot easier to comprehend. A lot of people do not understand why we prefer windows mobile over different platforms, and its answers to questions like these that shed some light to just how great it is to think outside of the box! I hope this will be a great help to those reading this article who question the relevance of editing the registry...and to those who have windows mobile and are thinking about implementing it.
