Hello,
today I unfortunately had to hard-reset my magician.
I started installing my software and as I did before used this registry-tweak
Code:
Microsoft Application Installer -> Changing the setting so that it asks you where to install a cab
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" -> "SOFTWARE" -> "Apps" -> "Microsoft Application Installer"
and set fAskDest to 1 (0x1)
to be able to select the folder where to install the apps.
Before I had most of my software installed to "Storage Card\Program Files" but now I cannot select the folder "Program Files".
I only get a list with the folders in "My Documents" and when I select "None" the software is installed in "My Documents".
I searched the forum but could not find anything similar so I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance,
Uli

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.

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.

Hi I am trying to install sqlce3.5 on a rom which dosen't have cf2.0 (cabs don't work) so I was thinking of manually copying the dll files to the windows folder to see what happens but I cant figure out how to access the windows folder from my pc (windows 7 RC if that matters) any ideas?
Via active sync choose the 'explore' options under 'tools' then a window will pop up. The default directory will be your documents folder what you need to do is go up one directory which will then be your device's root folder. Then from there you'll see the windows folder.
on windows 7 you have to use device manager and when i choose browse device it take to me choose either phone memory or memory card, if i choose phones memory the windows folder is not present and it cannot be seen even if i choose show hidden folders.
any ideas?
After device has sync'ed with pc, just open up your file explorer on your pc. Open 'My Computer' and then scroll down to 'Mobile Device'. If you expand this you should be presented with a list. Open 'My Windows Mobile-Based Device' and scroll down to 'Windows'
Thats the problem I am having I can get to the root just fine but when I am there the windows folder is not present like it is hidden, using view hidden folders dosen't help and typing in the path gets an error message saying it does not exist. I wanted to do this through windows but i suppose I will have to do it through the phones browser instead.

Open your file explorer on your pc, go to Tools > Folder Options > View and make sure 'Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)' is unticked
Other than this I'm not sure why its not showing

Can someone explain how I can move bluetooth from the "all settings" folder into the programs folder. It just means fewer clicks to set up a partnership for me. Thanks
why not copy the shortcut for BTManager into the startup/programs folder and then you can access it via quicklinks?
Thanks. I was looking for the correct file in windows but there are plenty with beginning with bt! Done

Thank you for the reply. I still have all those dirs and several more.

CorePlayer
LockScreen

Microsoft
MobilityFlow
Opera9
PhotoAlbum.Data
Shazam
Skyfire
Skype

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.
