<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.gpcarreon.com/?p=416' target='_blank'>http://www.gpcarreon.com/?p=416</a><br /><br /></div>"<i>Users who are new to Windows mobile-based Smartphone often ask why by clicking on a CAB, they get to see _setup.xml, XXX.001, YYY.002, ZZZ.003, etc. That is because by default, Windows XP (Explorer) opens CAB files (be it Smartphone or PPC CAB) instead of installing them. It literally opens another folder showing you the contents of the CAB. CAB Install DCV on the other hand installs CAB via mouse double-click.</i>"<br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/augusto-2006.07.26-cabinstalldcv.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />While I love my Smartphone, there are a couple of features that Microsoft did not implement into the user experience that leave me completely baffled. Installing CAB files from Windows happens to be one of those features that would have made all of our lives just a little bit easier. Luckily for us, gpcarreon has created a nifty freeware program that does just that!
