UPDATED: 05/17/08 I found the answer to many of my "issues". I have Vista on my computer and had another Smartphone previously, so I already had Windows Mobile Device Center. It worked with my Q, so never gave it another thought. While troubleshooting another issue I checked and found a newer version. So, I updated WMDC and the problems below have gone away. Have you updated your software lately???

Original post reads: Has anyone who has a Q9h successfully edited and used a homescreen .xml file?

I can copy the file from my Q to my desktop, open in Notepad, edit the file and save it. When I try to move it back to the Q, however, I get a message that says I can copy the file but it will be unusable; storage purposes, only.

I know I had to use EnableRAPI in order to move my Start Menu icons around, but it doesn't work for the homescreen .xmls. I'm just stumped as to how this model can be so different from the other Qs!

(We should all have our Q model in our sigs, so we'll know if a program or hack works on a compadre's unit, it'll likely work on ours!
