like in the title, why the windows folder loading in file explorer is very slow than in resco explorer is immediately? (windows folder of internal memory and not of storage card)
It just does...that's (one of the reasons) why many people use Resco in preference
Yep, the embeded file explorer tends to lag when it comes to large folders.
My Windows folder loads in 1 second.
May I ask how you convinced the Windows Explorer to do it that quickly?

Sweet talk...
No tweaks applied though.
Strange, my HD2 takes ages to open the Windows folder (almost one minute). As somebody already mentioned, Resco does it in a few seconds.
widows explorer takes only a second to load
Chaps,
The speed at which explorer loads the files depends on how many applications you have installed and how old your installation is. The older the installation the more dirty and polluted it is, slowing down explorer.
If you hard reset and then immediately load up explorer you will find that it will fly. Start loading up apps and using it on a daily basis and speed of access rapidly deteriorates.
Hope this helps.

PS: Oh, and if the installation is dirty and you have stacks of apps open in memory when you open explorer then that just makes things a whole lot worse.....

i dare you to go to that same windows folder and select sort by size, see how long that takes you.

Try loading the files by type and tell me if you finish in less than 2 mins

That's something else
In short, don't sort. Set the sort key to its standard and loading goes faster.
To make the windows folder open in a second, just....
1) get the folder to open
2) then change the sort to "name"
Next time you go to the windows folder it will load in a second!

I tried to do a search about this, but nothing came up. For some reason, whenever I tried to open my Windows folder using Resco, it takes about 8-10 seconds before it opens up. I don't know what program I've installed that can be causing this. In fact, I even hard resetted and restored using one of my latest backups. The folder opens up normally and quickly, but then a few syncs later, it goes back to taking 8 sec to open the folder (so, only the Windows is affected). I'm thinking maybe it's some dll file that resco or the built-in file explorer are trying to read, but just a conjecture. Please advise if you have any suggestions.
is resco installed in the main memory or storage card?
Opening the windows folder is always slow - it has to gather info on every file, from ROM (which is slow anyway) and then gather icons for every .exe. Disable showing icons for rom files in your settings (I use gsfinder, but I'm sure Resco does this too).

I have resco installed in the main memory. I can try disabling the icon display. The only thing disappointing here is it was opening the Windows folder fine, until suddenly it slowed down (overnight). I tried to figure out what program I installed in the interim, but couldn't find anything. This has happened before, but was corrected with a previous backup restored. Then happened again after a few weeks. I just wish there is an answer, instead of me blaming it on software incompatibility. B/c if that's the case, I have to be careful about installing every program in the future. And with WM5, you can't always uninstall programs cleanly.

One way - overclock your PDA.
Speaking of overclock. Where can I find the omap overclocker? Excuse my ignorance, but I did a search on the net, it links from one site to another, but I can never find the actual site for the download. Does anyone know?
I too have noticed this problem with opening the Windows folder. I have the following observations:
1: Normally when I tap the windows folder it opens up before the spinning coloured wheel has completed one full turn.
2: When the slow down occurs it takes about 4 spins of the colured wheel before the windows folder opens up.
3: Once the slow down has occurred it can be noticed both in Resco file explorer as well as the original windows file explorer.
4: I have noticed that this slow down in opening the Windows folder is also accompanied with a slow down of the boot up time. In my case when things are working nromally a boot up takes 1 Minute and 30 Seconds. (this is the time between when I press the reset button to the time when the today screen has fully redrawn). Once the problem has occurred the boot time increased to 2 Minute and 5 seconds.
5: In my case this problem has occurrred most of the time when I have installed a new software after installing NetFront 3.3. In my case the solution that has worked is to uninstall Netfront 3.3 and then again reinstall it. In other words if I install any new software I first have to remove Netfront 3.3, install the new software and then reinstall Netfront 3.3.
By the way my device is an i-mate Jasjar but the observations are quite similar to the prophet.
Kind Regards
same here guys.. It is obvious that slow down accure after active sync or new application install. Then it makes me think it has to do with registry modification, once windows folder has been modified? Forgive me my ignorance, I’m not a programmer.. And this is just observation in an effort to find a couse and solution. Any ideas? Anybody? Cuz this is really getting on my nerves. This prophet is disappointing me a big time I have magician and prophet and when I compare two phones, with prophet over clocked to 240 (this is optimal speed before it crashes) and magician with its normal speed, both phones have same applications running and the difference is like driving the porche and old opel! Where magician is a porche! I can watch high quality, full 600 mb movie on magician without a flinch! And prophet is barely moving!! I got to tell you, I love the design and everything, but by putting an OMAP processor with WM 5 (which is slow as it is) HTC really screwed up! First they try to make a PDA out of phone, and then they are taking it back from PDA to a phone.. I’m selling it I guess Atom is the next thing for me. It’s just to darn expensive
Smrz, I think you pretty much hit it on the nose with netfront. I noticed that on my old dopod 818pro and now the jamin, the slow down occurred after netfront was installed. But I dismissed that it was due to netfront b/c I think I reinstalled it, and then it was back to normal. But I didn't think about netfront causing a conflict only IF YOU INSTALL NEW APPLICATIONS. I think I'll try reinstalling netfront again, and see if it works. What's frustrating with wm5 is I can't cleanly uninstall applications anymore. Is this unique to my machine, to prophet, or to WM5 in general. Everytime I uninstall, it says it can't do it, but it'll remove the application name from the Add/Remove menu. Meanwhile, I have to go delete the folder in program files manually. And who knows what happened to my registry and dll files during all this. BTW, anyone know where I can get that overclocker?
Windows folder
Hi,
any solution found to this problem? My normal time of opening the Windows folder is about 4 secs. After installing of any application which copies its files to Windows folder the time grows. I've tried to uninstall the application, the files are gone, free space is as before, number of files in Windows folder is the same as before, but the slowdown persists.
After installing Manila 2D for example my Windows folder takes up to 40 secs to open and everything slowed down (boot, opening apps from Windows).
Anything I can think of now is maybe a filesystem problem? (\Windows inode corrupted somehow, probably relayed to the fact that it is linked to ROM files)
P.S. I have SPV M3100 (TyTN) with WM6.
Thanks for any advice except hard reset
is it just me, or is resco explorer 2005 the slowest file explorer app out there. it takes like 5-8 secs for each load... i'm going back to using File Explorer and Commander
I agree. It takes a long time to open the Windows folder as well as others.
For some of us refugees from the HP 6315, this is downright sprightly! The long list of files and folders in /Windows is likely the reason for the slow response. Given the features Resco Explorer offers, the few seconds it takes to load /Windows seems a minor trade-off. But that's just me...
On my Wizard, it just takes about 2-3 seconds (Version 5.40)
Cheers

On my Jasjar it takes 3 seconds to start Resco. Once started when I click the Windows folder it takes another seconds for its contents to display. My version is 5.35
Compared to this the default file explorer start up is almost instantaneous, but again takes 3 seconds to display the contents of the windows folder.
So for my taste the slight sluggishness at startup is okay given the extra features it gives.
Kind Regards
Sadly, its not the program, its the file system on the Wizard.
I think its actually the WM5 use of flash for storage. WM2003 and earlier systems used RAM for storage. There are no directories with more files in it than WINDOWS, so reading that from FLASH is alot slower than RAM.
Try upx compression of the resco exe will increase the startup time and save space

Hello!
I tried to open my "windows folder" in File Explorer, and it took forever. Problably due to the many, many files in there.
It seems that my Touch is collecting lots & lots of .dll files (looks like the windows logo on a white piece of paper).
My question is, can I delete these files without causing any problems to the device?
Thanks!
mmmm
Yes delete all of them !! including the ones that say VERY IMPORTANT DO NOT TOUCH ...

FORGET ABOUT IT! It will kill your Elf! DLLs are main system files, deleting them will damage Windows Mobile!
Why do you want \Windows to load faster? Maybe we can help?
The folder always took a minute to open. The last time I opened it, it took about 2 min. or more to open. I thought it was frozen, so I soft reset the phone; tried to open again, and it took over 2 min. I just noticed that the dll files were growing.
With constant use of the internet on my phone, I don't know how many of these files will end up in the windows folder.
Thanks for the second reply
For the first...
You can use some freeware like GSFinder
It opens \Windows folder much faster that Explorer
And yes ... I thought it was frozen, too
Hah; thanks a bunch. I think I can explore with my Memmaid.
Thanks for the replies.
the reason maybe the growing internet cache:
use this tool ClearTemp to clear it
or even better (but more advanced)
change the internet temp folders to the storage card move internet explorer cache to storage card
Hay all,
I've just got the Need For Speed Game.
It runs fine using the touch screen control but how do I make an icon for it in the programs list?
No matter where I stick it on the phone or the memory card when I click on the "All Programs"
it doesnt show in the list. I have to go in to the file manager to find it to run it.
Thanks
Its easy my friend.
Open your file explorer i.e. Total Commander or File explorer 2 and navigate to location of Need For Speed. Create shortcut to this by holding down stylus on icon till menu pops up. Once you have created shortcut move or copy it to /Windows/Start Menu or /Windows/Start Menu/Games whichever you prefer. If you now go to Start > All Programs it should be there
Ha cheers bud
Can you tell I'm now to all this Windows Mobile stuff?
I presume the 2 attched files are better file explores? I'll give them a shot in a sec - cheers buddy

Better than standard stock rom explorer, though cooked roms have different explorers depending on which you use, i.e. some use Total Commnader, some File Explorer 2, some stock explorer
Hi guys
I've had my TD2 for about 6 months and all good so far - thank to this site
Recetly, I can't get in to File Explorer via the phone. When i click on the icon, I get the Windows logo (the horrid round pie-chart one!) and it just sticks for ever! I have to "X" out of it but then it locks up my RAM so i have to do a soft reset each time
I notice that when i click on File Explorer the directory it is trying to get in to is Windows - which i know from previous use is the slowest one to get in to out of all the directories (e.g. My Programs, Documents, etc). I wonder if this is a cause?
By the way, I can Sync all ok (via ActyiveSync on XP) and can get in to the different directories including Windows this way just not through the phone.
Please tell me i won't have to do a hard reset - I really don't want to do this! Tell me there's an xda-developers approved app out there somewhere!
Thanks for the help guys.

I had my phone set to the windows folder in File Explorer once but it did not lock my phone, sorry I cant help anymore.
I had my phone set to the windows folder in File Explorer once but it did not lock/crash my phone, sorry I cant help anymore.
I had this exact problem. There is a registry edit you can do (sorry I cant remember exactly what it is) so File Explorer stops trying to load the Windows folder when it starts.
The other solution is to use Total Commander, which I think is a much better file explorer.
Thanks for the response guys.
ozmbie - cheers for this, I'll have a look at Total Commander tonight. Pity you can't remember the reg edit.
Anyone out there know the edit??
Thanks again
Mo
You can use also Resco explorer.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\File Explorer\LocalPath
Change from "\windows" to just"\" (without the "" of course)
Pete_S - the reg edit worked a treat.
Cheers mate.

I've had File Explorer do this when it was set to look at Windows. As you know, there's a stupid amount of files in \Windows so that it takes File Explorer (or Explorer over ActiveSync), ages to read the folder and show the results. This problem is exacerbated massively if you put a sort on the folder other than by "Name". I've done that, and had it take 5 minutes or so before the list appears. So if you're in the same situation you probably don't need to edit the registry, you just need to leave it for long enough. Just go and make a cuppa!

Aah, funny you mention the "sort folder by", as mine was set to "type" (not sure how) so i guess that's what was making it hang for ages! Will bear it in mind next time.
