    Hi there!!
    I bought a WM 6.1 mobile that doesnt have file explorer installed. When I open programs from the start menu, I only have three programs in there, File explorer is nowhere to be found. I want to install some programs in it but I cant find a way how to do it. Program i'm trying to install is in a CAB file.

    TIA

    Hello. Are you sure there is no file explorer? It may not be a shortcut as that cycles among the most recently opened programs. But it should be in your programs screen. BTW, what three programs are installed? Anyway, if you absolutely can't find it, you can install Total Commander, which is free.

    In order to install programs, you will have to make a partnership with Activesync 4.5 (XP) or WMDC (Vista) and explore your device from there.
