Hi all,
Just wondering if anybody could shed light on the following scenario:
When I connect my HD to my PC using windows mobile device center and successfully sync, i then navigate to a windows explorer tab and open up my storage card. I can then browse files, copy and paste, rename etc, however, i can not edit word files. When i open up a word file on my device via my pc it is locked as read only. The only way to be able to edit such files is to disconnect, and then reconnect my device, but in disk drive mode.
Does anybody know if i can edit my files and use activesync at the same time?
Thank you very much for your time

Hi,
I just wanted to clean up my Start Menu as I always did using my old PPC device, however, the \Windows folder does not show up on my PC when browsing the Mobile Device. Is this correct? How can I access this folder to do some easy re-arranging of files?
Thanks.
I think Total Commander should let you have access to all the files on the Universal.
I am referring to the normal File Explorer on my dekstop PC. When browsing the mobile device, the \Windows folder is not shown. I can access it on the PPC itself, but being able to do so on the desktop PC would make the whole Start-menu-arranging-thing so much easier!
i haven't had any problems accessing the Windows directory from my PC
if it helps - i get it from:
My Computer -> Mobile Device -> My Windows Mobile-Based Device -> Windows
Hi there i am having the same problem i cannot see the windows folder on my pc and i am useing active syncro 4.1 ,so please if you have any solution can you let me know please
I can't see the Windows folder with my work PC but can at home.
If you're syncing to two pcs maybe only the first one lets you see the Windows folder.
In a file explorer window on your PC, go to drop down menu: Tools - Folder Options... - View Tab - select 'Show hidden files and folders' radio button.
This should now allow /windows to be seen by your PC file explorer.
Genius!
Thanks mate
Someone can help me? I have Tom_B_B_v4[2].0_TouchFlo_Professional installed on my Artemis, and activesync 4.5 on laptop.
Is impossible to transfer files from device to laptop. It is possible only from laptop to Artemis. What can i do?
Many thanks!
if the files are located in the my doc dir then they should be mirroed onto the
my pda documents inside the my documents on the pc
otherwise one can use explore device
in activesync on the pc and copy the cab file
and paste it where one would wish on the pc
does'nt works.
Does'n work. This is the problem: if I try to copy a file (for example a Mp3) located everywere (internal or sd memory) in the pda, and paste in the laptop (desktop or folder), it seems than start copying file, but really does'nt.
(Sorry for my english)

sounds like a firewall (windows file sharing problem) try and run a network wizard on the pc and make sure you can share your C drive.
give it a go it should work.

I think is a problem of activesync 4.5. I read the guide online and in "transfer files" is written "does'nt work with all devices" (is written in Italian, I think this is the traslation)
solved?
I solved temporarily in this way:
On Activesync activate tranfer files, automatically create on desktop folder "my documents" where is possible manage files.
Then I installed "cardexport-wm5" on device. With this program is possible to switch usb connection to Actyvesinc or Cardexport; in this case the memory card is recognized by PC like an external USB drive. Is'nt so easy, but I do'nt realize still better.
However, I'm looking for a solution for this problem, and I am available to share my experiences, in this moment I think that is a bug of activesync 4.5. So, ask for administrators if possible open a topic for this problem.
on my old spv phone i could sync my phone then goto my computer choose my spv and open it in explorer as you can with hd2 but i cannot see all the phones folders like i could with the spv, i need to get into my htc hd2 favorites folder so i can add a bunch of my favorites on my desktop to my htc hd2 favorites folder. can any one suggest to me how to allow the htc hd2 to show all folders in explorer so i cannot manipulate them as i want to from desktop... also this way i'll be able to goto favorites folder and when i add favorites on my phone i will be able to back them up on pc.
thanks for any tips.
P.S. i am aware of window mobile sync and being able to goto documents my favorites and add delete manipulate files there. but i'd like to be able to access all phone files\windows files in windows explorer like i use to be able to do with spv c550
first, you'll need to be connected to the pc using activesync, connecting in disk drive mode only allows access to the contents of the SD card.
next, go into folder options on your pc and make sure they're set to show both hidden and system files (2 separate settings).
now when you connect in activesync mode, you can use file explorer to access all folders on the phone.
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.
I use Es File Explorer, and have used other apps to delete files off the nexus 7 storage. However when I plug it to the PC and open the internal storage, I see the files are still there. The files HAVE BEEN deleted though, as when I click on the file, it says file corrupt, and doesn't take up space anymore.
For example I put a movie file into my tablet. I watched it, and deleted it after I'm done. I plug it on my pc and I see the folder and file still there.
how can I fix this?
It can be a pain because I use my nexus 7 to read my school documents.. sometimes I rename the file, and the whole thing is corrupt, as in I can't open it when I plug it in my PC anymore, because the names doesn't match. Or If I don't remember correctly which files I've deleted, and re-delete it when I use my PC, soon it will be fill with a lot of useless files when I open the internal storage on my PC.
Any help? I don't remember this being a problem before, I was able to edit/delete files, and it would show up as is on my pc.
Also, when I open a folder with pictures on my PC, some files do show the thumbnail, while other files just show the default pic file.
Basically my nexus 7 feels very 'corrupt' and slow when I browse the files on my PC. Anyone else have the same problems?
You could use ADB instead
