Special Folder - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Dear friends
Is there any way to change special folders location specially "Program files", "My Documents"
I have tried changing the registry KEY
""HKLM\Explorer\Shell folders""
but it didn't work
thanks in advance

Can I ask, change them to what & why do you need to change them?

I've changed "\program files" to "\storage card\program files"
why? .......
to gain extra space !!!!!

idpro - couldn't you just use cabinst to install programs as required to storage card. Remember that some programs have issues running off storage card, particularly at first boot (ie soft reset).

cabinst for "program files"
what about "my documents" folder ,,, etc ..

Folder Shortcut Problem

I have programmed one of my program keys on my XDA 2s to automatically open the storage card\my documents folder when pressed.
I tried the following two shortcuts:
:msfexplore \storage card\my documents
\windows\fsexplore.exe \storage card\documents
file was named sd docs.lnk
This was tried both on an XDA2s and the HP HX2700 PDA. The shortcut works but it also open Internet Explorer and looks for the folder.
Any ideas how to correct this?
Thanks,
Henny

Only other entry I found was "\HKLM\System\Explorer\Shell Folders".
I modified the value to "\Storage Card\Application Data" and I see no change. I am specifically interested in getting this working for Microsoft OneNote Mobile

My documents in storage card

Hi,
I have executed a hard-reset in my device.
the install of the rom and extrom has created a directory called
"/My Documents". It's possible to me move the entire contents of this
directory to the "/Storage Card/My Documents" ??
What's the registry key to indicate the new "My Documents" location at the W2005 OS ??
Thank's
hi,
obviously, i have tested the next registry tweak published at the wiki page...
but the unique existent keys at the "Windows CE Services" path are
"ExcludeExts", "NoSubFolderIn", "RasTimeoutResponse", "Restriction" and "Version".
i don't have tested to create the sugested key "FilSyncPath"...

Change the location of My Documents
Documents are opened in and saved to the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\Storage Card\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

I've some word and excel files located in my SD (Storage card\My Documents\Personal\Word\Important ). When I open the word I cant see these files.

Does anyone Know the name of this directory in WM6.1??
This is the "Program Files" folder. But it can be a different name depending on your language.
"Program Files" is still there in the My Device dir.
There are about 20 programs in that dir.

Thats correct.
In my NL langauge I have:
- Program files
- Programmabestanden
Both are used for program files but the last one is written in Dutch. Install a new program to "My Storage" and it will create the correct name here too.
