PC Counselor's tip has been posted by PocketPCMagazine. This tip on saving your Microsoft Reader activation. was found at PC Counselor's How To section.
You may only use this tip once, but I love little tidbits of information like this. If you want to read those e-books on your Pocket PC which have Digital Rights Management protection on them, you have to activate the MS Reader application from the Microsoft Reader Web site. Every time you do a hard reset on your Pocket PC, the activation is lost and you have to go through the whole process of activation again. There is a way to save your activation and carry it back to your Pocket PC after the hard reset. To save your activation do the following steps: 1. Click on the Activesync icon which is on the right hand side of the Taskbar on your desktop to pop up the Activesync window. 2. Click on the "Explore" option in Activesync to navigate the folders in your mobile device. 3. Go to My Pocket PC/Windows and copy the following files: - secrepid.dat
- secrep.dat
- secrep.dll
- secrep.xml
- Microsoft Activation.unload 4. Create a folder with-in the My Documents folder on your desktop PC. You can give a meaningful name to this folder such as "Microsoft Reader Activation". 5. Paste all the above-mentioned files into this folder. 6. Now whenever you do a hard reset on your Pocket PC, you can copy and paste these files back into the Windows folder of your Pocket PC and your Microsoft Reader application will be activated automatically.
(To copy the above mentioned files successfully, you will need to make sure that the extensions of the files and hidden files appear in the listing along with the file names. In the ActiveSync Explorer window, go to Tools and click on "Folder Options...". Now click on the "View" tab. Make sure that the option which says, "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked. Also select the "Show hidden files and folders" option if it is not already selected.)
