Change the Sync folder for ActiveSync? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi, I know for WM2003 it was possible to change the Synchronized Files to be
on the Storage Card:
"To change the PocketPC folder that actually gets synchronized, you'll
need to edit this registry key on your PocketPC:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath
Everything in this path, including subfolders, will get synchronized."
However on WM2005 this option is not in the registry. Any ideas?

Install to storage card\prorgam files ???

hi there,
is it possible to install programs via async to a specific folder on the storage card?
e.g. the software spb time can only be installed to either the standard folder (program files in main memory) or to spb time to the storage card.
i'd like to have all programs on the storage card in ONE folder.
any chance to do that?
thanks
Hi,
You have to change a bit Registry of your device. You can easily do it with Resco Explorer Registry Add-In or other editor.
In HKLM\SFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer find a Key fAskDest and change it's value from 0 to 1.
Also uncheck on your Desktop Pc option Install programs into the default installation folder.
Now, when programs installs, it will ask (at screen of your Magician) where do you want it to install, including selection of existing folders and destinations.
Best regards,
Evgen

Losing programs???

If I do the OS change from German to English, would I lose programs like Excel or word? or how about my personal data?
excel & word
Hi reven,
Excel & Word are in the rom image you will not lose them. Backup your ext-rom if you think there are some programs you might want to keep & you're not sure whether they came from your provider or from MS in the OS rom.
To get to the ext-rom, just create a shortcut in \windows\startup\ which points to \windows\loadvdisk.exe
The loadvdisk is a hidden rom file so create it via Act.Sync on your PC. Then execute the shortcut on your magician or softreset & ext-rom is visible not writeable though.
Cheers, M

Back door on magellan triton

After successfully accessing file system on magellan triton 1500 described on http://tritonforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1289 i install OziCe (pna version) on it and it's working fine, but there is big problem. In Triton system core is missing soft keyboard so there is no way to register Ozice. I researched a bit and after comparing files and registry on triton and my ipaq i found that on triton is missing file softkb.dll in windows directory and also there is no registry entry like in my ipaq HKLM\\Drivers\BuiltIn\sip\ for activation of softkeybord on system startup.
So my question is if i just copy softkb.dll to windows directory on my triton an if i add entry in registry like on ipaq would that be enough to activate soft keybord?
Also does anybody know how to make backup of triton registry. I try with TRE and regedit but option export registry on both programs is not working.
tenx...
After one day of researching:
I was able to copy softkb.dll to windows directory of my triton but was unable to add entry in registry for SIP. Because there is no keybord only way to enter something into registry is to create .reg file and import that via registry editor. I extract reg key from my ipaq and try with 3 different registry editors to import it into triton registry but without success...
Unfortunately i haven't got a clue what you are adressing to here, but maybe this suggestion might help you?
How about you install something like 'Soti PocketController', or any other tool that let's you control your device through a PC (or mac for that matter) to enable your PC-keyboard as text-input?
Hope this helps!! Good luck!

HTC Snap WM 6.5 - Change messaging storage from device to storage card

Dear colleagues,
hope this post isn't repeated but I collect, filtered & tested information from other threads concering other HTC different devices and it works on my HTC Snap.
I syncronize a lot of emails with attachements and device memory was full. Then installed a 8GB Storage card but didn't find option to use it for messaging storage but other HTC devices as Kaiser & Backstone.
I did the following:
First of all you need a registry editor, there are many downloadable shareware on the web.
Email and Attachments on your Storage Card
Using the file manager in activesync, create the following folders
\Storage Card\Inbox\
\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments\
(Of course u can name the folder what ever u want, but must use same nameson following configuration)
Then create the following STRING VALUES:
HKEY_Local_Machine\System\Inbox\Settings
Name: AttachPath
String: Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments
Name: PropertyPath
String: Storage Card\MAPI
Then go to HKEY_Current_User
go to Software, then Microsoft, then MAPI
Create them these entries:
a. Create “String”.. Enter name as “AttachPath” and Value:
String as “\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments”
b. Repeat the same step for next entry… Create “String”
Enter name as “PropertyPath” and Value: String as “\Storage Card\Inbox”
Soft Reset sevice (not hard reset otherwise these changes will be restored to factory default)
Now browse to \Windows\Messaging\
Move everything in this directory to the new ones on your Storage Card.
Still checking if everything is roght but it seems it.
Regards.
DAMM!
Something is not quite good as new emails are stored at device \Windows\Messaging folder again !
Of course is able to read moved ones to Storage Card location, but this seems memory will be full if I don't move incoming msg's to Storage Card often.
Any suggestion before y crash WMM registry?
Thanks friends.

[Q] accidentaly assosicated files in core player need help

i accidentaly associated my mp3 and was files in the core player now all my files just have a windows start icon next to them andare only openable in core player. when i click on the file in file explorer it says there is no program assocaited with this file. Any ideas? Thanks.
In general:
Open coreplayer -> Settings -> File Associations and uncheck all the file-types you don't want to be handled by coreplayer. After applying the changes you made (OK pressed) soft-reset device.
If this doesn't work:
In registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT search for key .mp3 and get value of Default, probably audiofile. Now in registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT search for key audiofile and correct there in all its subkeys the exename to your needs.
Same procedure for .was. Don't forget to soft-reset device afterwards.
thanks. What do i use to edit the registry. I havent done too much of that.
My favorite is Win32 freeware CeRegEditor. Of course this requires you can establish an ActiveSync connection between your Windows PC and your mobile device.
If you are not comfortable with registry, you can download this little freeware :
badschwii MyExtensions :
http://www.badschwii.com/download/setup_myextensions.zip
Just copy it to your storage card, and execute it... You'll be able to change File Extension...
