That link for File Dialog Changer eventually leads to a Yahoo error page in Japanese. Here’s a direct link; I just checked it and it’s still valid:

Don’t forget to use it in conjunction with gsgetfile.dll, which is here:

You’ll wind up with two small files, filedlgchg.cpl and gsgetfile.dll, both of which belong in the \Windows folder.

Works like a charm, not only with Notepad Mobile, but with most other apps that use file dialogues.

I am aware of the issue. This issue is with all Windows Mobile applications that uses Windows Mobile's own file open/save dialog box. Due to performance issues, I am currently restricted to using Windows Mobile's native open/save dialog boxes. Users of Notepad Mobile has come up with alternatives like File Dialog Changer (thanks to Gerry), that does the trick.

Hi Shamasis, works great but how do you open a file that isn’t in the list of folders, for instance a file in a system folder such as “Program Files” or “Windows” ? These don’t appear as options in the drop down list. Thanks.

Wow! Sorry about the two repeated posts. The submissions didn’t seem to go through the first time. I lost them altogether, and had to recreate them from scratch.

Thanks, Shamasis. By system font, I was referring to the proportional font that usually appears by default in programs that don’t offer a choice of font faces. It also appears in such places as the address bar in PIE, etc. Now that I tweaked the registry, the default of Tahoma 9 Regular no longer appears there; now it’s Arial 9 Bold, but some other programs besides Notepad Mobile don’t seem to recognize the change, either. As for the fixed-width font of Courier New, it’s very faint on my device. I now use DejaVu Sans Mono Bold, which I downloaded from the web, but I can’t force apps such as PIE to use it in forms and such, since I can’t find an entry in the registry that controls it. Anyway, your plan sounds like a good one!
