of cause, you need Pocket Mechanic. what do you need it for?
Before you change it,remember:YOU SHORTCUTs MAYBE WON'T WORK!
Use a Reg Editor(like Resco Registry etc.) to find this key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\Folder
Change the default value to the name you want.
Soft-reset your PPC
Enjoy it!

Storage Card
,but now i have same like
"bereitgestellte datentrager" in German,not a Storage Card ?
Im having same kind of problems...
Anyhow: The value in registery shows "Storage Card" but when using file explorer, the real name of the inbuilt Diamond storage, is "Storage Card2". And of course I can't rename it directly because it's in use. Must be a simple solution for this but can't figure this out. Any easy way to correct the name?
Solved!
It had something to do with the new ROM edition I was using and the option to store attachments on a storage card. I uncheck the box "When available, use this storage card to store attachments", deleted the old "fake" storage card folders and did a soft reset --> problem solved huraah!

Doesn't seem like I can install a *.cab file to storage card, when I open it, it will install automatically into main memory\program files
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
Use Cabinst to manage your CAB installations.
gr8, cheers mate
regestry change
whit a simple regestry change , it will ask you where to install it: folder,drive....
even if you do an istallation from active sync
And what is this simple registry change ?
Do tell .... don't keep it a secret
what is this change?
ok here it is:
Edit the regestry on the PPC:
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Aplication Installer\
set fAskDest to "1"
if you like
Create the "Pogram Files" folder on the SD card on the root folder,
make sure that you have the ignore_my_docs file in the root driveof the SD card.
I install most of my program on the SD card.
hi alexk,

Pls advise..
thanks..
Cheers
:lol: Chivas
I use Resco Explorer to edit my registry,
it includes the Resco Registry Editor ^^
alexk > Thanks for this tweak
chivas > If you want a freeware use this one PHM Registry Editor
Most programs can be run from SD card except Today Plugins
What is the benefit of running CAB's from our SD card? In otherwords, I don't have the foggiest clue what happens to a CAB once you run it apart from it installing the program etc.
A cab file is a way to install a progam.
So you can install this program wherever you want.
The benefit to install it on a SD Card is to liberate some RAM
Thanks for that
Why is this forum sooooooo sloooooow

Hi Alex, thanks for the tweak. But what do you mean by those meantioned above ? Are you saying that we can create a "Program Files" folder in SD card and install our program into it? What do you mean by root folder? Do I need to create a note pad file named as ignore_my_docs?

Calvin,
Root folder refers to the highest folder of the drive, the one where all the sub-folders reside... ie on your PC C:\
Be very carefull editing the registry, not recomended for a novice as one wrong move can leave you with a lot of trouble
Thanks for the info. :wink: I think there's nothing to do with registry in these tweak rite? For what I know from others forumer, the Ignore_my_documents file is inside the main memory. It serves the purpose whereby the ppc will ignore the "My Documents" inside the Sd card (if you created one) and only use the "My Documents" inside the main memory.
Same said they have deleted the Ignore_my_documents file in the main memory and therefore they can saved their files (themes and etc) into "My Documents" inside the Sd card in order to save some RAM.
My question is, do we need to create Ignore_my_documents file into Sd card if we are going to do so?
I've installed realplayer. I rebooted my wizard and upon reboot my storagecard has been renamed to storagecard2. therefore my shortcuts to programs installed on the storagecard do not run due to the 2. I've tried to rename the storagecard but it won't let me do it! any ideas how to force the rename back to its original?

Hi - yes this happened to me once - look in the root directory of the device there should be a folder called \storage card - probably empty and then your minisd card called storage card2. Delete the storage card folder - check first if there are any files in there, if so save them. Then soft reset and all should be well - no need to relabel your minisd card it will rename itself when you soft reset.

This happens if your device tries to write to the Storage Card when it isn't avaliable (either ejected or before the hardware is ready on boot). I had the happen several times when I was storing e-mail and temp files on my storage card.
tweaks 2k2
this happened to me aswell but this was due to a app...tweaks 2k2. this is a common bug with this app (see website if youn have app installed)

thanks guys problem solved now
Guys how did you fix this issue with tweaks2k2?
I have just tried 3.25 upgraded from 3.18 and it is now giving me this storage card2 issue... I havent changed any settings in tweaks2k2!
Any help would be appreciated... I have tried deleting the fake storage card dir and then resetting but still comes up with this problem... pls help.
Thanks.
Thanks guys! I was about to restore an old registry (which would not have helped) when I found this thread! Life saver!
Please guys and gals follow my articles - I've elaborated on the problem (and the solutions to it) several times; for example, at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...s_to_rename_itself_to_sd&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
I had the same problem and I had to perform full restore. Maybe could someone try to install the application to the main memory not on the card...

See if it will let you rename it then soft reset. It proberly wont let you delete it because there are some protected files in the folder.
I've read the Wiki and still can't find it. How do I install themes on my Wizard?
copy the .tsk files into your windows directory.
you mean .tsk?
Copy them to /my documents, and go to /start menu/settings/today, then choose your theme.
I kept getting a message about disc being write protected. Remove protection or use another disc. Any idea what that means? Also do I save them to the phone or to memory card?

Anybody got anything on this?
I said save it to \windows which obviously is on your phone not on the mem card. As for that "write protected" stuff i don't know what to think of it man.
open "my computer", double click on "my mobile device", navigate to windows, copy/paste your themes to windows directory and they will appear in the today theme menu. if you still don't undersatnd then i give up./
You can copy the theme files also to SD card either directly in the main SD card folder or in a folder which does not go deeper than 1 level (meaning: Storage card\Themes\ ) This keeps your precious internal memory free for other things!
I UNDERSTAND what you said and that is what I did. That message is what I got when I did that. I tried it on the phone and the card. Thanks anyway though. Themes are overrated anyway I'm not stopping till I brick this thing!!!!!!
If you copy them on to your SD card, don't put them in any file on there. Put them straight on to "\storage card". The question I have is are you getting the write protected error on your phone or on your computer and if you're getting that error on your computer end can you copy any other files over to your storage card? I was thinking that maybe you accidentally write protected your storage card.

hello,
if i want to install a applikation on the sd card it says that it can not do.
In the past I changed my sd card so it bekome a new name as sd2 but i think in the registry would be the old name of sd1 so i cant install applikations.
Does anyone knows the place in the registry ?

Is it because there are files already there that need to be overwritten?

Moreover,
there should be a folder named " sd1 " already exist right? And it will come back again even you had deleted it after softreset.... right?
if the answer is yes, you need to do some reg. tweak before you can do anything......
remove your storage card,
1. use reg software (for me I feel more safe for editing the registry) like SKTools...,
2. remove all tweaks that pointed to the storage card, e.g. Internet temp. files, messages...,
3. softreset,
4. delete the sd1 folder,
5. softreset,
6. power off,
7. insert THE sdcard (Prophet will POWER on automatically, and you will find your sd card with the name it should be ~~~
GOOD LUCK ~~~:

Never hade this problem before on my kaiser :\
Take the card out, delete the folders that shouldn't be there, reinsert card.
Go here in the registry:
\HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\
Change the value of the Key named Folder to whatever you want. Default is Storage card.
