Hi all... we recently got a number of Snap's at work that I've already upgraded to WM6.5 of course.
I'd like to reconfigure them to use the storage card for the "My Documents" folder etc... but I've been unable to get any version of the Advanced Config programs working on them - is there anything like this available?
Or do I have to manually edit them via the registry? if so, whats the reg keys for redirecting all the My Docs/Pics/etc folders to the storage card?
Thanks in advance
I'd like to know if there's any Advanced Config type programs for the Snap too.

Happy New year to all
I've been following with this site for quite sometime until i decide to switch from HP 6365 to o2 Mini/Magician.
I've successfully mod my Mini to BS with TMob 1.13 rom & 1.13 Radio. I'm just wondering if there's any possibilities to hack the default My Documents which resides in RAM to Storage. After all I still have 17MB free Storage after BS even having all my apps install in it.
I've tried few apps with registry editor but can't find anything that relates to My Documents location. What i mean is like Windows XP where you can change the default My Doc's from \Doc..& Settings..\User...etc to the folder that you want . eg: D:\My Documents
This will actually save a little time to backup the My Documents contents in the event you get a corrupted or format your C:\ in Windows Xp or Hard Reset in the case of PPC. Simply do a restore & I have the last state that i wanted or backup.
My intention is to configure my PPC with alll the customize apps, settings & etc and do a backup. In the event i need to do a Hard Reset, i'll just need to restore my OS from backup without the needs to backup or lose anything especially the My Documents. Like i said, restore & i have the last state of OS & cofig of the last state that i wanted to.
Been searching this forum but the search functions doesn't find me any results that relate to this. Anyone have such a wild idea?
Here's my apps in storage.
SPB Pocket Plus 3
Sprite Backup 3
PocketX Photo Contact Pro 4
Cab Installer
Vcard Receiver
Flexwallet 2006
Resco Explorer
Sk Tools
Tweaks2K
Ampda Camera

Wild Idea: Leave your "My Documents" folder where it is. Use Sprite Backup to do regular (scheduled, automatically running) backups of your device and save this backup to storage as an compressed exe. That way, after a hard reset you only have to launch File Explorer, start the backup file, restore, reset, takes less than 2 minutes. Depending on how many programs are stored in RAM (non-BS) and how many/how large documents are on your device it should work flawlessly.
Thanks for the info & kind attentions. I do practice a good backup.
I'm just looking at the hack/mod as a "bonus" if it is possible.
Cheers!
kanryu: since you suggested it, try to test this out.
I suggest you do this before installing any other app, because My Documents is a system setting used in many installations and they may get confused.
HKLM > Explorer > Shell Folders > My Documents
The storage card isn't always available at boot up, so again, it might cause problems. Storage might be a better idea then storage card. But this can already be configured in the options menu in Notes, at least.

Perhaps you can move all of the stuff to the storage ( not the card) and then put a shortcut from main memory to the storage card directory?
with some registry modifications as well. Some software only default the storage of data to \My Documents folder so merely moving everything to Storage and creating a shortcut won't do.
O2mini_noob: which registry mods did you use?
Have you guys tried the registry keys above?
V
I have tried this hack long time ago, wishing I counld change BT dir, but it did not work.. Storage Card & Storage, both failed...
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Templates"="\\Storage\\My Documents\\Templates"
"Windows"="\\Windows"
"StartUp"="\\Windows\\StartUp"
"Recent"="\\Windows\\Recent"
"Programs"="\\Windows\\Programs"
"Program Files"="\\Program Files"
"My Documents"="\\My Documents"
"Fonts"="\\Windows\\Fonts"
"Favorites"="\\Windows\\Favorites"
"Desktop"="\\Windows\\Desktop"
"Application Data"="\\Application Data"
as you can see.. only templates works ( since it's not related to the OS it self )... I tried changing Fonts dir as well, did not work either
I guess this has to do with the OS it self... so it is impossible to change it..
sorry Vijay, I was merely adding to stevedebi's quote of moving the entire \My Documents to storage. Obviously you have to do some registry changes to make it happen but wouldn't be as easy as that.
To OP.
I *think* I have a similar problem to you.
Basically I want to sync my files to/from my PC/PDA but the ram on my blueangel is way to small where as my 1 gig SD ram has vastly more than I need.
Now, i have managed to relocate my Sync briefcase on the PC to d:\briefcase. All well and good, this now trys to sync to the Pda's volatile ram way to much data .... so, im half way there.
Now, how can I tell the sync software or PDA's OS to sync to a folder on the SD RAM card?
I know I can put the SDcard into my PC but this is not what I want to achieve, i want it to be seemless and done in the craddle much like contacts etc are done.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I've tried this before. Everything under this tree has been rename to \storage\my documents But after a soft reset, some of the key will revert back to default. ???
Seems like only those template folder are moveable. I'm started to suspect \My Documents are not fully handled by registry.
I'm wondering how clean the system can be if you need a 3rd party software to edit the registry such as Resco, PHM & etc. I know it's best to do it with a clean system but.... unless there's a way to edit the registry out of the PPC, or there's a standalone executeable software, which I have yet to found.
I'll see what can be figured out next. Hopefully this idea is not a 'fat hope' :?
Don't you guys try to create another "My Documents" folder in the BS and link to it a shortcut (from today)?
I have put to c-launch a link to /storage card/my documents and all is well!!!
I did some searching for this, but couldn't find an answer...
Are there any tweeks, reg hacks or applications that I can use to enable files received via Bluetooth (or irda) to automatically get stored to my Storage Card?
Thanks!
Reg Change with consequences
There is one way that I know of to change the location of the Bluetooth/IRDA storage location. However, on my Universal when I made this change, there were significant delays in opening certain applications and other processes. Therefore I wrote a small app to change the location as and when I needed it, so by default it is the location on the phone.
As background, the default location is stored on the phone under Application data\volatile
This is set in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys\TempPath
Attached is the program, it was only written for myself to use so not very fancy at all, but does work. Unfortunately as my PPC programming experience is so minimal, I had to use the only tools I know which was VB.Net 2005 and therefore you will need the Compact .Net Framework 2 installed on your device.
Hi
Thanks for that...
I just downloaded and installed the .cab, but I can't see it in my Programs or in Program Files...
Where does this cab install it's stuff?
If I wanted to manually change the location in:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys\TempPath
... Would I just change
Code:
Application data\volatile
To
Code:
Storage Card\BT Receive
?
Thanks
D'oh!
I was looking for it in programs, not settings>system!
Hehe
Thanks a lot for this
Hello All
I have a Rogers HTC TyTn(HERM200) with the following
- Windows Mobile 5.0 (OS 5.1.195 Build 14955.2.3.0)
- 2GB Kingston MicroSD
Want to have the phone recognise My Documents folder on MicroSD card as default instead of the one on the internal memory. I found how to do this on the internet but I get "Access Denied" when I try to change the registry entry. Is there something I have to do to this phone so that I can modify the registry?
I've tried to look on this site by doing a search for -- "My Documents" tytn -- but didnt find anything that helped me out. I would really love to get the My Documents folder on the SD card, any help would be greatly appreciated
Hmmm guess there is no answer to this eh?
best bet is to change the location in all apps that wuld use it ie. set cameraand word etc to save there.
HEllo

WM - Settings -> System -> Remove Programs
Samsung - Settings -> (scroll down) Memory Settings -> Main Storage (this will remove prog's installed on my storage as well as memory card too) - Find your program and delete.

What about the memory settings in the Samsung setting menu?
Hi, does anyone know how to get rid of the opera9.5 installled in the phone? i've downloade/installed the new opera10 and have no use for the 9.5 version.
Opera 9.5 is included in the ROM!
You can only flash new ROM without Opera 9.5

Just delete it from the start menu so you dont have 2 Opera icons in the start menu.
As previously mentioned by another member it is in the rom so cant be removed unless you flash a cooked rom.

I have tried this method. However I do not find any listing of apps that I have installed to "My Storage".
I installed a flashlight app from here on xda, via .cab file. It didn't work, so I am trying to un-install it. It was installed to "My Storage".
Although unable to remove this app on-phone, I was able to uninstall the cab using ActiveSync (synce-kpm in my case) from a desktop PC.
Hi all,
I have downloaded few tweaks & was trying those. I found that the phone is quite fast. But when I found that there is no SETTINGS menu available I was frustrated. I dunno exactly when it got deleted. How can I get it back to start menu? Can anyone let me know if any registry values to be entered to enabling it again? I believe that people here will help me out definitely. Is there any other way which from which i can restore the settings in start menu?
Thanks to you all in advance...
Waiting reply..... Please help me to get rid of this problem...
Mandar M. Oke.
Are we speaking about "cooking development" or simply you installed some tweaks in a downloaded custom rom?
Some minimum informations are required such:
_WM build
_which kind of tweaks did you make.
_a build log
Maybe u changed thé Hidesettings value to 1 instead of 0 if u use Manila ...
