Does anyone know why this folder fills up with files I don't know where it comes from? I keep on deleting them because I start from 130mb free memory on my phone then files will start to appear in there even if I dont do anything. So I would have to clear it off every 1 hour or else I get a warning no more memory. Can someone help please.
Volatile data is mostly used for ram. By me is te folder only 14Kb so i don't worry about it. See \Aplication Data\ as temp files.
"Aplication data" has every windows machine.

Hi!
Anyone could help me out!?
I place a file "powerstatus" into the startup folder.. What I can do to remove the file inorder to prevent it from starting up. I can't delete while its running and I there is no option for me to close it when its on. ... . Only way is delete it from startup folder.. . but how to i close the file??
Pls help ..
Rename the link in startup, softreset, then delete the link in startup, delete the file as well if you dont need it.
and if you put an exe file in startup (not sure if you can do that but)
then you just remove it from program.exe to program.exe.uncle
then softreset it
unless you use the extention uncle for something else it should just fail to start and then you can delete it
I have tired to rename it, but no use. tried to cut it out, no use, tried to overwrite with a blank startup folder, no use too..
Yes, its an exe file, anyway to close program that is not reflected on "running program" ?
The "Powerstatus" is running, but I cant find a way to close it, I have tired the program which make the PDA go into safe mode, but can't work
I am using WM2005.
Any expert with any solutions?
Thanks very much in advance. .. .
Move the Startup folder to somewhere else My Documents for example and reset.
Afterwhich you can delete the file and replace the Startup folder back in Windows directory.
tried that before.. The startup folder with the "powerstatus" will still be there even thou i cut the whole thing out. Plus, cos the file is running, i cannot delete, move, overwrite it. . . so i think need a way to close it...
Anyone know how to close programs that is running in the background where it will not show on the "Running Program"?
Happens to me but use the resco file explorer to rename the files, softreset ( prompts you ''theres no application associated with ''powerstatus.exe''....), tap start(repeat until the menu drops) then open again the resco file explorer, goto windows/startup and delete the file.
EASY.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
yeah it could be a fileexplore thing ms's filemanagers like to protect people from extentions which is why many people use reso or totalcommander
Kill the process in memory
Can't you just kill the process in memory?

What about renaming the startup folder to something else and soft reset?
Safemode
Download and install "Safemode"
Soft reset your device
Just after the device restarts, tap on the upper part of the screen: your device starts in "safemode"
Delete whatever you want from the startup folder
Soft reset, and let the device start normally (without tapping on the upper part of the screen)
Sorry if this seems a 'dumb ass question' but I'm new to this.
I want to make the adjustments to speed up my XDA Mini S as it seems awfully slow to start programs compared to my old XDA.
I have just downloaded the registerywizard and unzipped it to my desktop but where on my device do I drop the files? in which folder?
Sorry if it seems obvious to you guys but it's not to me.
Cheers
Hi, activesync your device and you can place them anywhere on your device but most people place them in \my documents and with a file explorer on the device click on the cab and it will install reg wizard on the device. Have you got both files needed for the installation?
When you say both files, do you mean RegistryWizard_PPC.ARMV4 & OpenNETCF.SDF.wce4.armv4??
One of the things that really bugs me is my device is for ever telling me I'm running low on memory and yet program memory always has loads of space (I also have a 1Gb card) I understand that the split can be changed from 50-50 using the registry?
Cheers
Thats right both those files are needed for registry wizard to work.
There is no way you can change the memory split in wm5, that was only with wm2003 etc..
You have to find a way to free up memory - I have 25mb after a soft reset. You say program memory is always ok - thats equivalent to ram, so maybe its storage memory thats low and asking you to free up memory? Empty internet explorer cache etc...
Ok thanks for that. I have cleared the cache which freed up 0.5 mb but I still only have 4Mb of free storage space on my device storage?
The only thing I have installed is Tom Tom since I got my XDA! (the maps are on my memory card and the program on my device) so why is there so little space?
Also I have downloaded the 2 files for the registry wizard and put them on my storage card but how do you run the reg wizard as there is no exe file or set up file?
Thanks
Have a look with file explorer on the device to see what is taking space - particularly look at \program files and \my documents. Can you recall how much program memory you had out of the box? It maybe the o2 extras that are filling it up and i imagine tom tom a pretty big install.
Use the attached treesize to look at memory - tells you at a glance how much memory is in each folder. Change default byte setting to kilobytes and its easier to interprate.
If you want to get rid of the o2 extras hard reset and then just as the o2 stuff is about to install do a soft reset - you will have a leaner and quicker device.
Hi, I put the file you suggested into my mem card but again, how do you run it?
there is no exe file or set up process, if I go to it from file explorer and click on it it says"There is no application associated...." the same as I get with the registry wizard??
Sorry if this is basic to you guys but I'm confused.
Incidentally the memory info is as follows:
Storage
Total 47.46
In Use 43.00
Free 4.47
Program
Total 44.01
In Use 23.31
Free 20.70
If I was to do a Hard re-set and stop all the o2 stuff installing, will it remember all the o2 service/message centre info for texting and voice mail etc?
Cheers
Thats a self installing cab - should start installing when you click on it through file explorer on your device. If it wont you have a glitch.
Find enclosed the exe - to be run on the device.
And no you will loose all your settings so you would have to write them all down before you hard reset etc... No fear we are here :wink:
Yep you storage is really full - thats your problem
I must have a clitch of some kind then as there is no file in the download to facilitate an install, same goes for the registry wizard I guess then file I downloaded then?
For example I only have 2 files on the 'tree' file after unziping, how many should there be?
Do you have a Reg wizard info to enable me to install it?
Cheers
It's a cab file - it should not be unzipped (but you are right there should be 2 files in the cab) - click on the treesize.cab or regwiz.cab through explorer on your device. They are self installing.
Well that's odd then as there is no cab file??
I have 2 files after downloading and unziping, they are:
TREESI~1.000 and TreeSize.001
It downloads it as at winrar file on my desktop so I have to then unzip it?
is it something with a setting when I download from this forum?
Hi, does not need to be unzipped place the whole file on the device and click on it.
Thanks you for that, I was assuming because it was a winrar file I had to unzip it, now installed
However I get an error message when I try to run the registry wizard, it states "an unexpected error has occured in registry wizard.exe" (in the details it says TypeLoadExeption, could not load type OpenNetCF.Win32.RegistryKey from assembly OpenNetCF)
I have tried soft resetting but this has made no difference, any suggestions?
Sorry to be a pain here but I really do appreciate your help here
I have also now moved the Tom Tom program to my storage card and I now have 26Mb free space now. :lol:
Have you installed this opennetCF? http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9341
Its needed for reg wizard.
Thats cool got your memory back - tom tom what a hog!
Yes, I installed both???
I have tried removing the program and re-installing and soft resetting again but still I'm getting the same error??
Now just when I thought I was sorted.... :?
Are you installing reg wizard to main memory rather than storage card?
If you are, uninstall and try over again - are you using latest version 't'?
Yes I was putting both files into my storage card, is that that wrong then?
Thanks
Install onto device not the memory card :wink:
Done that now, all is working :lol: .... thank you for all your help Mark, it's much appreciated.

Hi I have asked this many occasions - in fact I would also like to get rid of the document and settings directory. It currently takes about 1.5mb on my device.
There is a program cleartemp that will remove contents of directories during reboot. However I am pretty sure that the files contained in the above directory and pim.vol are needed by the system, so removing them could crash your device.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.
I believe that if you were to make your own ROM you could edit the registry and move the files before flashing it into your Uni.
At the same time you could rip out WMP and PIE, replacing them with more useful apps like TCPMP and Opera, putting these programs into the 128MB flash instead of the 64MB storage. However, after reading a thread here about using MP3 ringtones and having WMP doing the decoding, I wonder how integrated it is and just what would happen if you took it (and it's registry entries) out of your system. Maybe just taking some crap like the Welcome program and some help/graphics files would leave you enough room in ROM to do this?
Grr, I should really get on and try this so that I can speak with certainty, shouldn't I?
Guys
Really basic software problem .
I want to work on / delete/ rename a couple of files that are in the windows dir of wm2003.
each time I go to them, I am told that they are read only or may be in use by other programmes so all choices are blanked out .
Wont even let me re name them.
What programme can I use to let me play with these ?
Astro1
yeah i totally agree with you and cannot find a software to do so. there's a lot of useless files (mostly images that i do not need!) in my 'windows' directory which if i delete or remove will free up a lot of memory.
I think Total Commander can edit/overwrite file properties including system, hidden, read only and so on...
but not if they are in the rom
and if are only way is to make a new rom from scratch
and even then making a rom which dont fill out all the rom space
dont give any memory to storage or apps or anything
Just curious - is it safe to delete files in Windows directory, files that can be found out of folders, and which of them? I find 629 files that are out of folders in that directory which is 22 MB of free space - if it would be safe to delete it... I have no idea what is their purpose, and would be much obliged if someone who is certain in his/her knowledge would answer me on this one...Of course, I'm well aware that those files are indeed part of Windows, and that many of them are necessary for the proper functionality of OS, or programs currently installed, but there must be tones of junk files, and I'd like to know where can I find some info about useless/important files of that type. I'm not asking this because I have issues with low device memory - cause I don't, I always have about 70 MB of free space in device memory. But, I've noticed that the number of these files is increasing all the time, even when no new programs are being installed ... For any info - thanks in advance
