On my old HP Jornada 567, i was able to explore the "Windows" file on my pocket pc. Now with my 8525, i can't do that..i can explore almost everything but the windows file, however i really need to explore the windows file through my laptop. how can i do that?
hi kareem, its me again, do you mean that you cant open and explore your windows folder,not file?
Try and install resco explorer and use that to look in the windows folder, but i cant understand why you cant explore unless you royally screwed something up on the device or permissions have been set on the folder????
yup it turned out to be the permission, all working now thnx

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

You can use My Mobiler.
With this program, you can display your PPC screen on your PC, and simply drag and drop CAB-files to your PPC. Don't forget to delete CAB-files after install, cause they are copied to \My Documents folder.
Why aren't you using the Windows Mobile Device Center from Microsoft? It's the Vista replacement for ActiveSync and supports all of it's old features and more.
Just drag n drop the CAB's to your device and install as normal...
Thanks for replying but it will be the same..i have to go delete once again the installed cab files n more over the cab files will be installed to the default installation directory even though there r programs to change the destination to storage card..the procedure is hecktic n tiresome
Depends on your target device really. In WM6 on my Kaiser, the device asks where I want the program to be installed to. And the file not auto-deleting afterwards is just a registry setting.

Then try to find the programs that have exe files and run them from your computer. This will be a lot easier to accomplish.
I understand what you mean... i used to install CAB files directly from my PC, i just connect my phone to my pc and i double click cab files in my pc and it install to my phone BUT unfortunately I formatted my PC and I cant find the CAB installer again.. i think i found it in HERMES forum, until now im searching but without luck!
Is there any program that creates a setup.exe file from a .cab file that works on vista?
When i had my pc with Windows XP i used PocketSetupCreator but unfortunaly it doesnt works on Vista!
wow another thread on this...but u can just copy the files on your memory either phone or card and then install and there are ways to make it so that the cab file will delete itself after u install it...whats wrong with that

cabviaactivesync does the trick
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo...-0-compatible-cabviaactivesync-now-available/
As mentioned before, you can set .cab files to auto-delete after install, with that set, use MyMobiler to drag and drop the file, and your done.

isn't enough just expanding you winmob device in vista's explorer?
i expanded everything and i still dont see the windows folder, however i see it on my xp, when i connect it to my desktop
My guess is something like a "do not show hidden or system files" or something like that in your windows explorer options.
Yes i have the same issue. The issue isnt that the folder is "Missig" but it is hidden when browsing through windows. You should get resco's file explorer or similar explorer and try editing the properties of windows folder "unhide"...
but the easier way to copy stuff to windows folder is to just Create a junk folder on your storage card and copy your files into that folder..Then using the Resco's File Manager or similar, copy those files into the windows folder.
While u are at that screen making invisible files visible....make sure to uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" as well. voila there is ur windows folder..

Works thanks i was wondering the same thing
Just downloaded a couple of free games to my Laptop, now where do I copy these on my HD2?
Anywhere you like. Use file explorer to find the cab's on the phone and open them.
You have to conect it with ActiveSync on Windows XP or Windows Mobile device Center on Vista and copy files with File Explorer...then, install in phone also with file explorer
Running Windows 7, and connected with Active Sync. Guess I'll start a new folder within "My Documents" for games/apps and drop them in there and give it a try
cheers lads
I have the 3VO rom on the htc snap and when connected to my win 7 pc I can not locate the /windows directory. I of course have the option to view hidden files checked but this was to no avail.
Hi there,
That is perfectly normal if you are trying to see it from the win7 mobile device center. Bill doesn't want you to mess with the system files. In order to access this directory, you have several options :
- install a proper file explorer such as Total commander or Resco file explorer on you device, and do it from there
- I think Mymobiler allows you to access this directory from the PC. Needs a check though, I uninstalled this program that kind of bugged me. see http://www.mymobiler.com/manual.aspx
Anyway, I would assume your problem does not come from the 3vo ROM.
