Two issues for a new C500 user

[Guest LSmith4285]

I have just read a "Getting started" guide that a guy posted on here.

and i read the following:

"Now as standard you can’t download much apart from homescreen skins, music and videos but using a third party file explorer called Smartexplorer will allow you to set Pocket Internet Explorer to download any file type you want"

How do I do this? I had the E200 and SmartExplorer and could only download a few things.

Also how do I get rid of the Orange bar on the attached screenshot? It seems to appear here and there and I dunno what its called so i can't do a search.

Cheers for any advice.

To remove the Orange banner have a read of this thread here:

The answer is in the first post bi BigBlue007, but you'll need PHM Registry Editor to do it

As for the SmartExplorer issue, I'm not sure this is the easiest way, but I think this is what they mean...

Go to SmartExplorer

File

Open

Manage File Types...

Select the extension for the type of file you want to download

Menu

Edit file type...

Now tick the box "Accept download in IE" at the bottom of the screen

Cheers for the quick reply!

Is there any quick way to allow them all for download?

Surely there are only a few different file types you would want to download to your phone, particularly given the fact that you pay for data rather than time ?
