I went on windows folder on file explorer. It took ages to load so quit file explorer. Now whenever i load file explorer on my phone i just get the rotaing windows logo timer thing.
How can i get back to a different page on explorer? This is driving me mad!
I'm running duttys rom if that makes a difference.
Same thing happened to me. I waited about 3-4 minutes and as the explorer was finally (you just have to wait) showing the content of the windows folder, I switched to a higher level. That was it. And remember - never ever try to go inside the windows folder on winMo
yes, the /windows directory has a lot of files and it takes a while for loading. Just wait until it's loaded and then change the directory (e.g. to /) because the explorer will always open at the last visited directory!
duttys rom has maybe another file explorer installed (look in the programs directory)
if not, then install another explorer. I'm using Total Commander
click here for the cab!
Yup, that even happens if you access your Windows folder via your PC (ActiveSync). Use TotalCommander for any operations in your Windows folder, that's the fastest free alternative.

Have you installed TFL3D? I hear that it installs over 1000 files in the windows directory. I have the same problem but I find that its just scanning the oh so many files in that directory. if i click on the windows folder in any file browser the phone effectively freezes, however it takes about 5 mins to scan all the files before showing them to you. Try it again but see if leaving it for a while to see if its just thinking about it
-this is really annoying and I was considering uninstalling TFL3D for this very reason but I found that I dont REALLY need to go into the windows folder all that often
Ah that must be it. I haven't installed TF3D, but I have a whole load of other stuff installed
The most weird thing i ever encountered today with my HTC Pro2.
I renamed the folder "Beauties" to "Beauties." with Resco File explorer 2008 (note there is a dot after Beauties).
The Original path is" Storage card/Pictures/Personal pictures/secret/Beauties".
After existing Resco Explorer,I went back to see the folder again,jesus christ, the folder has gone! just disappeared without a trace.
I tried all means,soft reset,Resco Explorer,show all the files and folders, Resco photo viewer, connected with PC etc etc,all of them cannot find this "Beauties." folder.
Inside this Beauties folder,there are many pictures that I collected over years,no no I dont want to lose them.
Is this bug?
Am I being cursed? (lots of porn pictures in this folder as well)
How to get my folder back??? please help,help,help!!!!!!!!!
If there is a way to get the folder back,maybe we will have a best way to enscrypt folders?
Why don't you sync with your computer and use the MS ActiveSync to explore your phone? It is much easier on the eyes to look for a file on your computer screen than on your phone.

thanks for suggestion,As I said,I tried all means,including your suggestion. Got nothing.
no idea what could have happened.
folders with a period show up fine on my tp2, both in explorer and commander, never used resco though.
ne how, before you do anything else, do the following
remove the sd card,
plug it into a pc,
run a data recovery program on it.
tried everything,no cure for it.
My conclusion is that after you add period(dot) at the end of the name of the folder,this folder is deleted forever.
A bloody lesson.
Bye bye pictures,bye bye ladies.
Hmm . Files may be gone..
but I'd try another file explorer app if I was you
Total Commander --> http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
You sure you renamed it xxxxx. and it took? Perhaps you did a typo (accidentally touch the touchscreen thereafter and it's called something else your not expecting?)
this just happened to me today using resco file explorer!!! dot on the end of a folder bam!!! all folder is gone!
bring it back
if you ever do this again press ctrl+z to get back the folder, it happened with me so being a photoshop freak instantly went for the keys and thankfully got the folder back with the old name, still cant understand what's happens when you put a dot (.) at the end of a folder name.
Ps. this will only work for a few mins after the rename before any other changes are made after which it is useless
HI,
For some reason I can't copy any files in my windows folder
I select the file, copy, go to my windows folder, but then I can't paste them. I don't get an error message, but the option "paste" in the menu isn't even there, everytime I try this doesn't matter what kind file I choose
And the windows folder isn't viewed when I'm using my pc to look on the HD of my Toch 2 (WM 6,5)?
isn't that weird?
What explorere do you use, with Total Comander i can do it.

I'm using the explorer of the Activesync program. If I connect the device to my pc, I can only see the internal HD (as far as I know) using the activesync explorer.
And the copying I tried from the device itself. So I've selected a file on my HTC (using the explorer of the HTC itself), and tried to paste it in the windows folder, but mt HTC doesn't show the option paste in the windows folder.
You suggest to use Total Commander for this?
Then I will try this as soon as I'm back home from work....
Look, you cant see Windows folder without special Explorer, cause its a system folder. Take Total Comander, install on your phone, and you will be able to copy/paste files out from Windows folder, and then put them on your PC.

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.
So I'm new to Android tablets and got the TF700 to replace my Windows 7 tablet for trips.
The main item i want to do is backup my photo with light file management. I'm trying to find out how to select all the files with date create on 1 day and copy them but leave the rest of the files.
On windows I would find the first file and use CRTL+END then CTRL+C and CTRL+P in the directories I want to move the file to. So this may only copy 200 files out of a 600 file directory.
Is there any way to do this on android?
Currently I've got File Manager, Total Commander, Ghost Commander, OI File Manager, X-plore, ES file Explorer and Astro installed trying to figure it out.
You missed the best explorer for me : Solid Explorer beta 2 (available in the market).
If your files are named with the date inside, you can filter your files and then select all in one click, and move them where you want
Hope it will help...
