I am trying to copy files onto the Windows folder and removing some image files that are no longer in use, but I keep getting the folder is protected error. Any way around it where I can edit files or add/delete some files in the Windows folder?

You cannot remove files that are part of the ROM. You should be able to insert files but not replace them, unless you use TotalCommander.

Hello All! (happy new year)
I want to erase some files on my Magician's windows folder. I am crazy about memory free on my mobilephone.
Thanks for your help
I would be careful which files to erase from the \Windows folder. Some files that are embedded in ROM cannot be deleted no matter how hard you try and can't be unlocked either.
You can use a tool like Valksoft Space Reclaimer to clean up any files leftover from previous uninstallation of software.
You can move the help files of the software installed from the \windows folder as well as the .uninstall files to your SD-card. With the latter, you need to move the appropriate one back to the \windows folder should you need to uninstall that program. That should clear up some space for you.
I'm trying to copy the larger vga .exe into my windows folder, but it won't let me as they are read only. how can I do this
maybe I'm being a dumbass, but could someone tell me how to do this?
help me please
use a tool like Resco Explorer that can set/reset attributes, or can overwrite read-only files.
cheers bud
or just use shortcuts to the original exe file?
I had the same problem with some "Pocket MSN" files.....
Try to rename the old files. For example, rename them by adding filename"_old".exe
Copy the new files in place and try to delete the old ones. If this is not possible, just leave them.......
I am trying to copy or move a file from \windows which is a .dll file. I am getting an error when trying to do this programatically in C# with .NET. Does anyone know how to access the files in \Windows directory without access restrictions?
Thanks,

if they are in the rom one cant just delete or in some cases access them runtime only at pre flashing rom image time
Could you be a bit more detailed? I want to get access to a .dll to see what their function calls are. How can I get the dll onto my desktop to view it?
Thanks,
heimlich
try copying them to your sd card using total commander
I tried that. I get an error telling me it is unable to copy files. Looks similar to error I get when I tried with native file explorer and .net File.Copy();
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

If it is in ROM, you can't copy it right out as a file, the best you can do is to LoadLibraryEx it with LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE, then if you can locate it in memory, you can dump it out to a file on disk.
How do I know if something is in ROM? I know it is in \windows and that is about it and in file explorer I can see the file as .dll.
thanks,
heimlich
One way is to use GSFinder. It marks ROM files with a different icon. Most of the files that are in the \Windows folder are in ROM.
dont think this is documented not seen but i'm running windows xp and i copy manila files directly from my pc to my ppc windows folder. First thing to do is in windows explorer in tools at the top a screen go to folder options/View then you need to click on SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS Then remove the checks from hide extentions of known files ( makes it easier to see what files your working with ) also remove the check from hide protected operating system files. all done now after you have killed manila on your diamond in setting/all settings/today/items you can then copy and paste any manila files directly from your computer to your diamonds windows folder and resart manila in a reverse of descibed before. So no need for resco explorer or to have folders of manila files taking space on your internal storage
Sorry for my poor english I'm from yorkshire lol
Does anybody know how can I hide word documents and some jpeg files on my HD2 with WP7 running on it ?
Sync the files normally through Zune.
You can then use TouchExplorer to copy the files from the Zune/contents sub directories.
Rename them in the new directory, and delete the original ones.
Shouldn't show up in your Whats new, etc after you remove them from the original PC Zune folders.
Doesn't work....still showing up after I copied an image into the documents folder and deleted the old one. I even changed the file extension from jpg to .jjj.....go figure?
