How do you do network shares

It's a simple enough question but after a lot of looking there doesn't seem to be a readily available answer.
I have seen many programs that allow you to access network drives in the program over wi-fi and you can click and open files from within there and any associated programs run it.
What I can't seem to find is a network share type of approach where you make a network drive available in file explorer (say like Storage Card) so you can access files easier.
For example I can't see a way of playing more than one music track over the network without having a share you can create playlists from in the player

Typical - I've just found out that Resco Explorer seems to 'fill that gap'
Odd - Total commander put the directory there but it's empty --- share in Resco and the files appear
Great!
I'm still intrigued to know where it gets it's user ID and password because it seems to know one of mine and if I disable that ID in windows it can't access the server ???????????

Hi mate can you tell me how to set up a network ...i have braodband connection and i can connect my jam using wifi and surf the net....but i am not able to sertup a network between my computer and jam so that i can view files and play music!!!
Would be great if you could give me a step my step procedure!!...thanks

Sorry if you know what shares and stuff is - but here goes:
Download something like resco explorer from resco.net and install it on your pocket pc
On your pc in file explorer right click on the folder you want to access then properties then sharing then share this folder and give it a name (say for example "name")
On the Resco program on the Pocket PC tap the 'hand under the box' icon - bottom right ; then map drive - now hopefully you should see your computer under 'computers near me' - click on it and you should see your share ('name') type these details in the box above \\server\name then click on share ( I don't know why but it only worked for me this way - clicking on the share in the drop down list didn't) - NOTE: 'server' = the name your pc you are trying to connect has --- the one shown in the list above the shares
Now this share will be available under network in the resco file explorer
The bonus is if you now go to something a little cleverer than media player - like tcpmp you will be able to type \\'server'\'name' into the top box of open file and access the network directly --- create playlists too
Only drawback is I found you need at least 400MHz PPC to stand a chance of playing audio OK directly from the network
As a final note drives on computers can have hidden shares denoted by $ there is also and admin hidden share set-up by windows that is the drive letter. This means you should be able to access the whole of your network drive by accesing share - 'Drive letter'$ ... For C this would be \\'server'\c$

file shares
is there any known tool for WM5 that will allow you to export a WM5 directory over the network? That would indeed be handy, especially if you have two people with such phones and no laptop to act as an intermediary system to share directories, not just individual files.
Yes I know that individual file sharing can happen by beaming it, but that is slow and cumbersome, being able to export an entire directory would be much more handy.

Thank you for this, I've been trying to work this out for a while, exactly what I needed is right here
Only problem I'm having is that I just don't seem to be able to see Samba shares on my Linux Server, all my other Windows PC's can see them just fine. Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Mark.

Map Network Drive and use a source for Media Library - HOW??

OK. I'll explain what I want to do:
I have flashed Karmba A 11.1 ROM and like it. Need to get a good analog clock - but that's another issue.
I have a NAS at home and wish to connect to the NAS to play music, videos and photos. I have spent all day today trying to find an appropriate version of HTC Network Plugin. I have it installed and can access the share on the NAS no problem, but in file explorer, the Network does not appear like say the storage card or BT share with a special icon.
The icon thing is not the problem, but I want to be able to update library in HTC Audio manager and Windows Mobile from the NAS without copying files to the storage card. Also I want to see my photos automatically in Album.
Have tried hunting for registry settings and I am stumped. I have searched and searched and cannot find how to. With CE 0.8 I believe that the network plugin is included and works OK - so there MUST be a way to get this working. HELP!!!

Lots of people readin - nobody writing. Nobody has any idea? I know it's possible, perhaps an experienced ROM cooker could help...?

TO be more specific - and bump this one up in hope of a solution to my problem (perhaps people with different WMPlayer can test also) here are a few points of clarification:
With a working Network Plugin, in file explorer, when selecting the location (top left) there is a choice of Device, Storage Card Network (this is what is not working, preventing me from doing what I would like) and BT drive etc.
With the more recent Wm6.1 Manilla 2D ROMs (maybe the WMedia Player version???) I do not get this selection.
I have hunted around the registry and thought that the FSRoot value set to 1 might sort it out - but nothing's doing. Anyone - please help!

Another cry for help.
OK - i have tried to install all of the different ROM versions that I remember flashing (I'm in a try ém all out mode at the moment). Before flashing my first Manilla 2D ROM I had this working - but now I cannot find out with which ROM?
Does anyone know how I can make the Network Folder appear as a storage device in File explorer - this will solve my problem.
BTW This thread is starting to look really cool with my avatar plastered all over it! Come on - someone crash the party

Network Plugin Cab.
Search for the network plugin cab and install this. providing your computer is setup to allow sharing you should be able to map a network drive.
Folder path will be something like "\\computer\share"
you will need to provide a login for the account that has access to the computershare too.

I find disabling the usb to pc advanced network functionality fixes quite a few issues I get .

Move photos to Storage Card?!?!

Apologies for the simple question but does anyone know how I can move my photos (which are saved on the phone) to my Storage Card?? I want to upload my photos to the computer but my computer only finds the ones on the storage card so i need to work out how to get them there first?
I am sure this is easy but i can't figure it out!
Any help very much appreciated!!!
Thanks

You can either use file explorer (or total commander, resco explorer etc.) on the phone to move the files, or connect to your phone using active sync, so you can see both the phone memory and the storage card. It sounds to me like you're connecting to your PC with your phone as a USB device/disk drive. This only allows you access to the storage card - not the phone memory.

Once you've moved them across, you should probably go into the camera settings and change 'storage' from phone to storage card (you just touch the icon and it will switch over). That'll save you having to move them across every time.
I am a little bit puzzled as to why your computer 'only finds the ones on the storage card'. What are you using to 'find' the photos?
If it's just Windows Explorer, then it should be able to 'find' them on the phone too. They're normally stored in the 'My Pictures' folder, which you can find under 'My Documents' (not the obvious place to look - hence the above explanation, just in case you didn't know to look for them there...).

Thanks johncmolyneux.
But how do i move them across once in File Explorer? I can see all the photos in My Doicument/My Pictures/100MEDIA but how do i physically move them - i can't see it under the menu option??
You are right about me connecting to my PC as a USB - clealry i need to be using ActiveSync.
Thanks again for you help

thanks johnkst
I have now changed the setting on the camera to avoid this problem in the future!!
I think it is because i wasn't using the ActiveSync but the disk transfer option.
Still can't see how to move the photos across (using phone only) even when using file explorer - perhaps i'm just being stupid!

A quick followup question- is there a way of changing the directory on the storage card into which the camera app writes? I want to use a directory off the root of the storage card called "photos", not the one buried in /DCIM/100MEDIA/ etc. Is there a registry setting for this?
Thanks for any help!

Get activesync set up and get your phone connected, then you can right-click the activesync icon and select "explore". You can then explore your phone's folder structure, exactly as you would on your PC, and cut and paste things easily from there.

Thanks
And apologies again for the lame question!

No Navi Panel

Hello all,
I have just received a HTC HD2(Leo) from Vodafone and have paired it with my Parrot handsfree, and have set the bluetooth settings to start the Navi Panel. Except it does not start.
I then looked in the Windows folder and can not find Navi.exe , does anyone know if it is not included in a Voda variant?
If not is is possible for someone to send me a copy?
Wan

mine doesn't have the navi panel either
either the original T mobile rom or the new 1.48 rom!

Chaps,
Look here.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581144
Also you may have to use the option of showing hidden files in File Explorer to find it.

Hi
Wacky.Banana
You are correct you have to click MEnu in explorer thencheck Show Hidden Files.
Double clicking the Navi file causes the application to run.
The reason why it doesn't run when connected to my car kit is the HD2 needs to be plugged into a charger

Morning,
To unhide files in explorer go to Tools>Folder Options>View>Show Hidden Files... to solve that problem.
In terms of finding the Navi Panel file you need to explore the Windows folder on the device (fine doing this via Activesync). Once the files have loaded up (can take some time as there are stacks of files in this directory) scroll through until you eventually come to 3 files all called Navi...
Click on the properties of each file; what you are looking for is the file whose properties are application. That's the one you want.
If you want to use it to access the Navi panel, copy that file into your StartMenu folder, which is a sub folder of the Windows folder.
From here exit these folders, go into the StarMenu folder by tapping on Start at the top of your device screen and you should find the Navi file at the bottom of the items listed on that screen (you can tap and hold to get the sub menu that allows you to move the file to the top of the list).
For greater ease of use you can now copy the file as a quicklink onto your front screen. Job done!
Incidentally these instructions are based on using Activesync to access the device and copy and paste that way, not by trying to do all this on the device itself, which you might find tedious and frustrating.
If you get stuck pm me and I will see what I can do to get you there.
Hope this helps.

hi ive found all that on my htc hd2 and done all that but once ive accessed the application it wont let me choose a voice on the app when runnin

Navipanel is designed to work in conjunction with the HTC hardware car kit, which connects with a terminal under the battery cover. It's quite likely that a lot of the functions (such as speakerphone) only work with the hardware connection.

Ok, dumb question now, sorry :-(
In my haste I copied Navipanel.exe into Startup insted of Start menu. Now I can't delete or move it and it's causing some problems. Can anyone help a dumbo and tell me how to get rid of it pls?

Hi I'm New To The Windows Family

Just purchased the new HTC HD2 last week and i love it!!! i was one of those people that wanted an iphone but I'am very satisfied w/ what I have!! I do have a question though, how do i download ringtones and wallpaper? Thanks in advance

There is plenty of ways to do this ....
For ex :
1. Connect your mobile to your PC via USB cable > choose `USB drive` and you will see additional storage drive in `My Computer` (like pendrive). Physically it is your microSD memory card. Now copy everything you want (wallpapers, ringtones, movies etc).
2. You can use program called `WiFi Remote` check here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586654
3. you can take back cover out, take your memory card out and than put into sort of memory card reader, than copy files ....
4. You can sync your phone with PC via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Centre (Vista and 7)
You have copied the files you wanted into your mobile.
