I have a folder on my PC that's shared as SharedDocs. I can access it from all computers on my network by going to \\192.168.0.8\SharedDocs. However my O2 XDA Mini S' File Explorer says "The network path was not found" when I use it's Open Path command to try view this folder.
ANy ideas why? Or can you recommend any software I could use that will allow me to stream video/audio from my PC to my XDA over Wi-fi?
Cheers

Hi,
I just wanted to clean up my Start Menu as I always did using my old PPC device, however, the \Windows folder does not show up on my PC when browsing the Mobile Device. Is this correct? How can I access this folder to do some easy re-arranging of files?
Thanks.
I think Total Commander should let you have access to all the files on the Universal.
I am referring to the normal File Explorer on my dekstop PC. When browsing the mobile device, the \Windows folder is not shown. I can access it on the PPC itself, but being able to do so on the desktop PC would make the whole Start-menu-arranging-thing so much easier!
i haven't had any problems accessing the Windows directory from my PC
if it helps - i get it from:
My Computer -> Mobile Device -> My Windows Mobile-Based Device -> Windows
Hi there i am having the same problem i cannot see the windows folder on my pc and i am useing active syncro 4.1 ,so please if you have any solution can you let me know please
I can't see the Windows folder with my work PC but can at home.
If you're syncing to two pcs maybe only the first one lets you see the Windows folder.
In a file explorer window on your PC, go to drop down menu: Tools - Folder Options... - View Tab - select 'Show hidden files and folders' radio button.
This should now allow /windows to be seen by your PC file explorer.
Genius!
Thanks mate
Is it possible to browse the windows folder of my Wing from the computer while connected? Im using Vista with Windows Mobile Device Center, and can access my wing through my computer. However, the windows folder isn't there, so i cant browse it on my computer.
On XP, all I have to do is browse to it thru activesync... I would assume that vista would be the same way....
Maybe there's some setting in there to hide system files and stuff like that.
Yea that is weird. I can navigate to the Windows folder (non-system files) on XP but not in Vista.
alright, I got it to work. Have to enable viewing of protected operating system files in folder options.
From PC to PC, you can network a shared folder. How can I share a folder on my PPC and network it so either my mac or pc can grab files without having to use ActiveSync or the ridiculous The Missing Sync for mac.
use resco explorer
you can use resco explorer to set up a network share. then copy any files from your PPC to your network share location. Hope this works.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'll give this a try, thanks.
And, without that, for instance, with File Explorer not possible? I can 'open path' ?
I made it work
I made it kinda work. I am sure there is something wrong, but what I did actually worked. There may be enough correct info here to help:
#1 - I installed a cmd shell
#2 - using the 'net use' command:
net use \\<machine name>\<export name> <password> /user:<domain>\<user name>
#3 now authentication window comes up, and I type in my password.
#4 now I have remote access:
copy \\<machine name>\<export name>\<file name>
When I installed the "total commander" application, I noticed there is a directory now called //network, with a sub directory called <password> ( my actual password ). Inside the password directory are all the remote files. I guess "net use" works a bit differently on this platform than I expect. So I do not know what is going on, but I do have file sharing across SMB..... ;-)
Hi all,
Just wondering if anybody could shed light on the following scenario:
When I connect my HD to my PC using windows mobile device center and successfully sync, i then navigate to a windows explorer tab and open up my storage card. I can then browse files, copy and paste, rename etc, however, i can not edit word files. When i open up a word file on my device via my pc it is locked as read only. The only way to be able to edit such files is to disconnect, and then reconnect my device, but in disk drive mode.
Does anybody know if i can edit my files and use activesync at the same time?
Thank you very much for your time
