Co-Pilot 6 How to re-create your SD installation Card

These instructions may come in handy if you mess up your SD card.
NOTE: I found that I didn't have the CPPOCKETPC file they reffered to and where they state there are five options I only had four.
ON POCKET PC
1. Firstly, remove CoPilot from the Pocket PC by doing the following:
- On the welcome screen, click START > SETTINGS > SYSTEM > REMOVE PROGRAMS
- Remove "POCKET SPEECH" and COPILOT POCKET PC".
- Then close the window down by hitting the "X" on the top right hand side of the screen.
- Once this is complete. Click START > PROGRAMS > FILE EXPLORER, (Directly below the heading file explorer, it should say "MY DEVICE". If not click on the triangle next to the heading name. A menu should pop up which should say "MY DEVICE" on it. Please tap on the word and it will display the files which are contained in MY DEVICE.
- Click on the windows folder and it should bring up the list of the folders inside the Windows folder. Scroll down the list and locate a file called "CPPOCKETPC? (? Is the Copilot version number). Once you have located the file, tap and hold on the file name to reveal a sub-menu which should say: CUT, COPY, RENAME, DELETE. Click on DELETE, this will remove the file from this folder. Now exit File Explorer so you are taken back to the welcome screen.
ON PC & POCKET PC
2. Launch CoPilot on your desktop and then:
- Click on the data download wizard icon on the left hand side of the screen
- A window appears saying that there is no pocket PC device connected to your PC. Please select a drive to download the information.
- Select the C drive and then click next.
- Next screen will contain 5 options. Click on the option which says "REGION".
- Tick next to UK and then click "next"
- A message should appear, click OK
- Now on the top left hand side of the screen, a small window will appear saying the size required for map. (Check that required Memory is 87.0mb). If so click "next"
- Another window will appear asking you to label the data. It should already be labeled "REGIONUK". If the is correct, click "NEXT"
- You will now return back to the option screen with 5 buttons. Now click on DOWNLOAD. Another menu will appear: ensure that RegionUK is on the right hand side box and then click DOWNLOAD
- Select the operating system you are using on your Pocket PC and ensure the Speech it set to MALE TTS, then hit OK.
- This will start creating the data required for your Pocket PC. It may take a couple of minutes to do this.
- Once this is complete, hit the finish button. This means the download is complete.
3. Now connect your Pocket PC to your Desktop PC
- Click on MY COMPUTER and click on the C drive.
- Inside this drive you should have two folders called "2577" & "CoPilot". Once you have located these folders, select them both, right click and select COPY.
- Now go back to MY COMPUTER, open MOBILE DEVICE > MY POCKET PC > STORAGE CARD.
- DELETE ALL FILES in the STORAGE CARD (Ensure that the folder is completely empty before proceeding)
- Click inside the STORAGE CARD folder.
Right click in this folder and select Paste. This will copy the information onto your Storage card.
- Once this is completed disconnect your Pocket PC, take out the storage card and reinsert it.
- This should give you the installation window. Now follow the instructions on the screen to activate Copilot.

hey meaty!
cant' i just copy the files from the colipot install SD to desktop then copy them to new storage card?
maybe im being duumb here , ,??
cheers,

I've never tried but a support guy gave me the very same instructions -so I guess not if you want the map data set configured

I found the easiest way was using the desktop data wizard to create all the map and installation files on an sd card using an sd card reader (much quicker). I have the europe map version and ended up putting the whole lot (complete maps europe maps etc) on a 2gb card. It used around 900mb. The program is installed to the sd card. The desktop program takes some time to compile the complete europe map data but now it all works just fine. I have of course copied the contents of the sd card to a backup file on the pc.
It is almost certainly possible to copy the original files from the sd card supplied to another sd card and then get the desktop program to download just the map data. (I have run both CP 5 and 6 from copies).
I have re-installed both CP 5 and 6 several times to both the jasjar and the sd card - without difficulty. The instructions given by ALK seem uncessarily complicated.

Yes you can but I managed somehow to trash my files and this was the way that ALK instructed me to re-create your installation files.
It is a bit long winded but it works!

y is nothing ever blooming straightforward!!!
these gadgets are lucky we love 'em!

Hmmm . . quite a few files on the SD . . anyone know what ones I need?

Getting a program on the start/programs menu

For some reason my Internet Explorer program never appeared on the
start menu or in the programs folder. Every time I want to open it I need
to use file explorer and open it from the folder. Does anyone know how I
get it into the program folder? I've even tried cut and paste but can't.
thanks
Brett

Start > Settings > Menus* > [x] Internet Explorer
?

Internet Explorer doesn't appear as an item to be checked. That's my problem.

ah
Start > Programs > File Explorer
browse for "iexplore.exe"
tap and hold on "iexplore.exe", then choose "Copy" from the popup.
browse to Windows\Start Menu\Programs
choose Menu, then Edit, then Paste Shortcut
rename the shortcut to just "Internet Explorer".
You'll then find IE in Start > Programs > Internet Explorer
And you'll also find it in that list to add it to the Start Menu.

Thanks for the idea but unfortunately it didn't work. I have tried the copy-paste idea on the xda and I get the message "Cannot copy 'iexplore': Executable and resource files in ROM cannot be copied."
If I try to do the copy-paste thing through the PC the "iexplore" file doesn't even show in the place I can clearly see it in the windows folder on the xda!
It's got me stumped.
cheers, Brett

Those phpBB errors are getting quite annoying.
/me re-types
Silly protectionisms in Windows Mobile...
Try the attached file - it contains a shortcut to IE. Just place the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ - should do the trick.

PRESTO!!
Thanks ZeBoxx. Worked a treat.

Help Unhiding Windows folder for pc browsing..

Hey,
I'm having trouble accessing the Windows folder of my device when browsing via my pc. When I browse using WMDC file explorer I cant see the Windows folder. Is there a way to access it?
-Thanks

on your PC - open file manager, press alt - t. This should bring up the tools menu, choose folder options, switch to 'view' tab, scroll down,
Tick 'show hidden files and folders'
scroll
untick 'hide protected operating system files'
click apply(bottom), then click 'apply to folders'(top)

Thanks a lot

no problem.
When you do browse the windows folder on the phone from the pc, dont be surprised that it takes quite a while to populate the file list, it isn't your phone, its a known issue of winmo. Personally i find it easier to use filemanager on the phone (well, resco, ) and copy files to and from the windows folder from there, and use the pc file manager just to copy to other folders and the sd card.

ppcpim Backup

I love this app and have intalled it onto my storage card in a folder where i keep all my .cab files, my only prblem is that i cant see it when i look for it in my programs, i,m wanting to put it as a quick link but cant? The only way i can run it is by going into file explorer and then storage card and then i the app folder i created and running it from there, where am i going wrong guys? help needed cheers

simple
go in file explorer to the file on sd card. tap and hold. click copy from the menu that appears.
open device\windows\start menu\programs and select there
(bottom screen) menu > edit > paste shortcut
rename the shortcut if you like
now you can select the file from start programs or assign it to a quick-link button.

What are you using to copy and paste??
You should use file explorer or one of the 3rd party file tools to copy and "Paste Shortcut"
You browse your device to the program directory and copy and the browse to /windows/Start Menu/Programs and either past it there or into the folder of your choice under that ...
You can also do a cut and paste if you just want to move an existing shortcut ..
and just to be sure , we are talking about the "start menu" what you get when you hit the windows key?

Hi,when i hit the window key,i get a list of all the program installed such market place,you tube,email,messenger...
I would like to have igo and solitaire there as well.
on my pc i can't see the folder windows for the htc,so i directly copy and paste from the phone and it doesn't work.

You have to do it ON the phone, and paste shortcut not just paste ...
also if you cannot see the windows folder on your pc, you need to select activesync as your connection type, your phone will show up in your Computer, if your phone is not asking you what type of connection when you plug it in you go to
Settings>connections>USB to PC, and check the bottom box that says "Ask me ......"
It is no different than creating shortcuts on your pc, but it has to be done ON the phone with file explorer or the like ....
I do it alot so I know these steps do work ...

as said above, you should be doing this on the phone, not the pc.
start - file manager - menu - show all files - browse to windows - find solitaire.exe - press and hold - choose 'copy' - scroll back up and click the folder start menu - press and hold blank area of screen - choose 'paste shortcut'
press home hard key, find a blank quicklink, press it, now you should see your shortcut available.
As for why you cant see your windows folder on the PC, , , open up file manager on the PC, browse to your phone - click tools - folder options - change to 'view' tab - scroll down the list and TICK 'show hidden files and folders' and UNTICK 'hide protected operating system files'
