Enabling Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) Processing

  • Article

Send Feedback

When Windows Mobile boots, it checks the system registry for the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SMS\TextShared

This key contains a flag that specifies whether EMS processing is enabled on the device. EMS processing is disabled by default, however, you can enable this support yourself.

To enable EMS processing support:

  • Register the COM component's GUID by creating the following registry key, and giving it the following name/value pair.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SMS\TextShared
    DWORD : EMSHandlerInstalled = 1
