Bluetooth File Receive to Storage Card?

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

Manual backup of certain data

Hi Everyone, as the title suggest this is about manually backing up your data from installed apps
Theres nothing complicated about it but it is a bit time consuming to start with, ive tried this on several programs, using the following process,
Back up the data,
Uninstalling the program,
Restart,
Install the program,
Running the program to confirm the previous data had gone,
Put the backup back in place,
Finally running the program again to confirm the old data was back.
first things first, you will need windows phone device manager
http://www.touchxperience.com/
now, use the file explorer and navigate to your "Applications\data folder
within here you will find everything you have installed listed as numbers and letters
the time consuming part is trying to work out what is what. The folder your looking for within each folder is called "IsolatedStore" that contains everything as far as i can see for that app
Simply transfer that folder to your PC,
To use it again, simply install the app, then copy the backup back overwriting whats there.
Cache and History dont seem to copy but ive not found an issue as yet with this
Ive not tried this after a full reset
Ive not looked for a way of doing this with SMS messages, i doubt it will be in the same location but its possible i suppose if you can find it
anyhow, I might just give NoDo a try now that i can "backup" my important data
was also thinking that perhaps this could be intigrated in to windows phone device manager, ive tried installing and removing an app several times and its always used the same folder name, i dont know if this is the case across devices, but if it is, potentially a database could be used... just a thought
OR!
just wait for the new version of windows phone device manager
which ive just been told will contain a back up utility!
i think it will hit beta users soon-ish
backing up sms etc seems to be a big obstacle to people using WP7 full time.
Hope this is included.

yeah that is a pain, ive been searching all damn night to see if i can find where they are but so far nothing, im guessing its within some protected area or within one of the DB files which cant be copied off.
wheres the pst files when you need them, MS have always managed to hide them in odd places
anyhow, perhaps im missing something, if not, then maybe sms backup will not be apart of his program because im buggered if i can find the things!.
SMS backup
Sorry to bump this thread but I thought I would add a link to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16490860&postcount=29 where you can backup SMS.
Just for completeness!

Application initialise as early as possible

Help folks,
I won't bore you with exactly what I'm doing, but I need an application to start as soon as possible - before the default launcher does for example.
The application contains settings that need to apply prior to everything else.
Is there a script I can place somewhere? If so, are there any examples you can guide me to please!?
Thanks in advance.

Batch installation and update of settings

Hi,
I'm looking for a bit of help with this if possible, basically at work, i have to constantly setup a load of HTC P6500 devices all running on windows mobile 6.1.
On each device I have to install certain programs from an sd card and update quite a few system settings.
Is there any way this can be done with a batch file perhaps, that would install all the software and update all the settings I need it to?
"XDA UC" could be what you are looking for, but it needs to be cooked in into WM.
I think there already is such a machanism in WM, but I don't really remember it's name...
.cab
make a .cab which has all the programs and settings.
maybe RunCC is in your ROM...
thanks for the help everyone, managed to get around this using SPB backup trial which let me essentially clone the device, and restore this back to the rest.

Hi,
Try using open source data recovery tools like testdisk.
It wont cost you. And they are reliable coz you have access to its sourcecode.
If you turn on your Windows Backup option in Windows 10, just follow these steps:
Open ‘Control Panel’
Go to ‘System and Maintenance>Backup and Restore (Windows 10)’
Click ‘Restore my files’ and follow the wizard to restore lost files.
If ‘Restore my files’ isn’t visible, click ‘Select another backup to restore files from’ and follow the restore wizard.
If you use File History, you can restore their previous versions
Right-click on the folder that contained the permanently deleted file(s) or folder(s)
Choose ‘Restore previous versions.’
From the available versions, choose the one dated when files were there
Click ‘Restore’ or drag & drop the desired version at any location on the system.
Otherwise, you can use third party software like other users recommended above.
Try not to do any service operations with disk which contains deleted files (multiple files copy, defragmentation, check disk etc). It can destroy information about deleted files.
yeah, there are lot of free software's are available and can use paid software that provides trial versions list is here
