Windows Mobile 5 Utils

[Guest JonnyAlpha]

Hi;

Posted a similiar question previously but did not really get any answers.

I am new to Windows Mobile but have been an avid PC user for many years.

So far I`m really impressed with my new toy and have successfully installed TomTom6 on my SD Card and got Dr Evil giving me directions heck I use it even when I Know where I am!!!

I use my pocket PC for the Internet extensively on my home WiFi, Txt ing and Word Mobile.

I`m now looking for some useful apps for my SPV M700 such as:

Temp file cleaner for cleaning Temp Files, IE Browsing History etc.

File Explorer - Better than the one installed.

Virus Checker?

Anti Spyware Scanner?

As well as some decent games - anyone used a SNES emulator and Mario Bros.

I had a look on the freeware sticky on this web site but a lot of the stuff is a couple of years old?

Any pointers would be great.

Clean up tools aren't something I really bother with TBH. You can set IE to use your SD card for the cache, which gets rid of the main problem (it keeps eating storage) - try searching for "modaco card cache" and you should find the tweak, or you could change the registry manually.

Resco File Explorer is good, but I'm not convinced it's still the best. Download some trials and see which apps you like.

Viruses are not yet an issue (last I heard there was only 1, "dust" or something, which I've never seen in the wild) and the virus checkers all bank on you being afraid and buying "just in case". Without a virus to "fix" how would you know if they're actually working?

I dont use emulators, but I've seen loads of threads about them so have a search.

If you're looking for freeware try:

There is new stuff around, but some of it is of questionable value to most of us

Free, and excellent, temp file remover: http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=ClearTemp&platform=ppc

Very competent File explorer: http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm

As above no need to worry about malware on WinMo - yet

Hi, thanks for the positive responses, I had found http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com and man its absolutely choka with freebies.

So far I have installed:

Cleartemp - excellent.

Total Commander - File explorer - Does the job but I'll try out some others as suggested.

I've also installed a couple of games:

Miner - Classic

Realm - Excellent gfx but v difficult to control.

Kevtris - Good Tetris Copy.

As well as Pocketmusic with some winamp skins - its ok but with skins I find it v hard to see the buttons.

Anyone recommend a good all round Music / Video player.
