Can anyone explain me, how I can change the programm to open xml and html -
files in Windows Mobile 5.0?
Default at doubleclick on a xml- or html-file, the windows mobile explorer
will start with it.

Thanks for your help!

Whether you do it by hand, or use an application to do it, inexorably you
are manipulating the registry

HKEY_CLASS_ROOT

Look for .html and .xml in the list. The defaul value in the key will have a
name e.g. XMLFILE

Find that name again a Key under HKCR, and in there change the shell open
command

(e.g. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmlfile\shell\open)

There aren't any natively on the platform, you'll need to google for a third
party regedit.
Try looking for 'TRE', I'm not sure if there is a wm5 version (this isn't a
WM5 group, you really want .smartphone or .pocketpc)
