Special Folder

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

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)

How to change Ringtone Directory?

Hey,
is there any chance to change the ringe tone directory? I already read some threads. But changing directory in regedit HKCU\controlpanel\soundcategories\ring did not work
I aslo read that i might not be possible to change rings directory to SD-Card because of insufficient access speed to card... Is that right?
Thanks for update...
Anybody?
Thx...

What's the purpose of changing the default ringtones directory? You can still put your ringtones wherever you like and select them with File Explorer....
I have set in registry to point to my storage card.
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring
Directory = \Storage Card\Rings
where "Rings" is a sub folder inside my Storage Card.

yes,he can do this by file explorer, but when i select an mp3(for ex.) it copy that to rom of device, (without MMC it will work)...this will populate the memory
Well, it seems that WM6 can see ringtones in root of storage card so there's no need for any registry tricks (it doesn't work either) just copy all your ringtones there and select it from Sound&Notification option in Settings...
I'd advise not putting ringtones into a Storage Card. Most of the time it will be OK, but sometimes, the initialisation time of the card will mean the phone won't ring till after the call gets transferred to VM.
MP3 and WMA ringtones need the initialise the WMP kernel to play, which adds to the time taken to activate.
Just copy the ringtone you need to \Storage Card\My Documents
works fine to my wm6.
thanks.
You can also create a folder on the storage card called 'My Ringtones' and it works
10X maxxtech,
its work!
The other trick is to shorten the mp3 down to about 15 to 20 seconds of the actual part of the song etc you want.
This keeps the file size right down.
sorry to bring back a really old thread, but i figured its better than creating a new one...
I havea question, I added ringers of *.wma's to my \windows directory, but when I go to Sounds & Notifications, I dont see any of my added ringtones, am I doing something wrong here?
In the Registry, the location for rings states the "\Windows\" directory...
nobody!?!?!
sorry, double post!

Can you check these settings - not sure how they apply to WM6 but presumably something similar:
Change the location of Ringtone file storage
WM5 will look for Ringtones in \Windows\ or \Windows\Rings by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card (example given is for ringtones placed on the Storage Card root folder)
HKCU\ControlPanel\?SoundCategories\Ring\Directory = "\Storage Card\" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)To return to the original location:​
HKCU\ControlPanel\?SoundCategories\Ring\Directory = "\Windows\Rings\" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)​Note the default location may be "\Windows\" or "\Windows\Rings\" depending on your Device provider.

Yep Done That
It didn't work

changes the WM6 alarm folder from /windows

I've seen discussions about changing the ringtone folder, but none that tell how to change the folder the alarm clock looks for .wav files. It's /windows by default, but if it could be on the storage card, it would save space... any ideas?
thanks.

REGISTRY settings:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Clock
Try to change the AlarmSnd under subkey 0 to a wav file on your SD card (type the whole path in that one) maybe it works ...
problem is that when in off mode the sd interface is shut down and is not enabled to play the sound when phone ring or alarm sound
