Finally after a long research I have a solution!!

Just copy file to your start menu and run. Done.
No need to restart or anything.

It is a shame that some ppl [most likely] knew the answer all this time and again made us do it the hard way.. Well, it just proves that those people lost again in their conspiracy.. God bless 'em!

Note: In order to unzip files you need to have SmartExplorer from Jacoch (Binarys)

hmmm, 48 views & no suggestions :(  This is something that would be useful for me too.

There must be a solution there somewhere - midnight? :)

YEP, there are usually 2 options to get files on your SPV if you have no cradle handy:
- Email it to yourself
- Upload to website and d/load with PIE
   - And usually most soft (freebies at least) is zipped anyway..

Damn!

Not sure if this is the answer you are expecting, but I have emailed zip files to my phone and they work fine. As long as SMart Explorer is installed, all you have to do is click on the zip attachment in the email, then smart explorer automatically opens up asking where you want to unzip to.

Time is a paradox stretching between a past and a future that we have no reality except in our own minds.

The idea of time is a convention of thought and language, a social agreement.

Here is the deeper truth......We only have this moment.

hehe, no :)  We're talking about the ability to click on a link to a zip file on a web page and being able to download it.  This currently only works for a cab file.  We're wondering if there is a way, perhaps by editing the registry, to get PIE to handle file types other than cab.

EXACTLY! :)


PS: Now, CAB files are not always handled correctly either. They sometimes doenload as a webpage with gibberish :( Apparently it is a server issue, not the SPV

Nice one. No access to cradle at moment and file won't download directly to phone from main or mobile site (how ironic) so ill have to wait with baited breath til tomoro. You are a star my friend. SPV owners rejoice! Maybe one day there'll be a .cab to allow any type of spv viewable file to be downloaded, wink wink, nudge nudge ;-)

Unfortunately that is impossible on small scale of tweaking, that is each file type that we want to be downloadable needs to be registered with PocketIE, so unless they do not change how IE handles files we can only implement this tweak per file.

If you come up with more filetypes that you want IE to handle I will look into that. Untill then enjoy leeching zip's.

PS: Quite often due to server configuration the files just open up as a webpage (even with CABs and other formats) :) I wish there was a 'save as..' feature in IE

Do you have latest version of SmartExplorer installed?
