[Q] Accidentally renamed directory in my device - Omnia II General

I Accidentally renamed a directory in "my device" on my GT-I8000.
Can someone post a screenshot or list ?
WM6.1 Pro

\My Storage
\Storage Card
\
Application Data
ConnMgr
Documents and Settings
My Documents
Temp
Program Files
Widgets
Windows

Thank you for the reply. I still have all those dirs and several more.
The contents of the directory renamed accidentally are these subdirs:
Application Store
AppToDate
ArcSoft
CorePlayer
LockScreen
MDS
Microsoft
MobilityFlow
Opera9
PhotoAlbum.Data
Shazam
Skyfire
Skype
Sounds
Volatile
WindowsLive
wmTorret
Zirconia
Does anyone Know the name of this directory in WM6.1??

This is the "Program Files" folder. But it can be a different name depending on your language.

"Program Files" is still there in the My Device dir.
There are about 20 programs in that dir.

Thats correct.
In my NL langauge I have:
- Program files
- Programmabestanden
Both are used for program files but the last one is written in Dutch. Install a new program to "My Storage" and it will create the correct name here too.

Folder Shortcut Problem

I have programmed one of my program keys on my XDA 2s to automatically open the storage card\my documents folder when pressed.
I tried the following two shortcuts:
:msfexplore \storage card\my documents
\windows\fsexplore.exe \storage card\documents
file was named sd docs.lnk
This was tried both on an XDA2s and the HP HX2700 PDA. The shortcut works but it also open Internet Explorer and looks for the folder.
Any ideas how to correct this?
Thanks,
Henny

Special Folder

Dear friends
Is there any way to change special folders location specially "Program files", "My Documents"
I have tried changing the registry KEY
""HKLM\Explorer\Shell folders""
but it didn't work
thanks in advance
Can I ask, change them to what & why do you need to change them?
I've changed "\program files" to "\storage card\program files"
why? .......
to gain extra space !!!!!

idpro - couldn't you just use cabinst to install programs as required to storage card. Remember that some programs have issues running off storage card, particularly at first boot (ie soft reset).
V
cabinst for "program files"
what about "my documents" folder ,,, etc ..

How to set 'Storage Card\My Documents' as default Save dir?

Sorry for posting my problem here but in other fora there were no answer so far :-(
I'd like to save my new docs into the 'My Documents' folder of Storage Card automatically in order to save space in main (RAM) memory. I know it seems to be easy, just go to 'Options' and set 'Save to' Storage Card. I've done it in case of every frequently used program.
Camera and Excel works well, they place the new file into 'Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures' and 'Storage Card\My Documents'. But Pocket Word and Notes place the new file just into Storage Card root dir.
Any hint how to solve it? Maybe some registry settings?
Thanks in advance

Solution
As it was my first request for assistance I thought the community was more helpful...
But no problem, finally I found the solution. (source: support.microsoft. com, article ID: 319616)
Let ME help if somebody has similar problem: you should delete the zero-byte-long 'ignore_my_docs' file from the root dir of Storage Card. This file prevents the built-in applications from using 'My Documents' dir as default/root folder while listing the files in 'Open File' window.
(If you need further explanation, refer to the above-mentioned Knowledge Base article.)
Cheers,
Tibor

Sorry, I mistyped the Article reference. The right ID no.: 319516.

u mean somthing like this? 8)
That looks pretty cool, and very useful - but only if your ActiveSync will sync the docs (Files) from your PC to that \Storage Card\My Documents folder.
Does it?
Thanks.
i wouldn't want that... i have like 800mb of mp3s and files on my 1gb sd card, it'll take ages to synchronize that... afterall, it is not necessary, cos if your pda crashed, it won't affect ur sd card..

Word doesnt show some files in my SD

Hello.
I've some word and excel files located in my SD (Storage card\My Documents\Personal\Word\Important ). When I open the word I cant see these files. If I need open a file in this folder, I should open the File Explorer and go to the folder and click to open. How can I see my files when i open MS Word?
Thanks.
i don't know, how deep in the folder structure word mobile searchs for documents. afaik it should show them, if you put them only in for example "\Storage Card\My Documents\"

opera memory problem

good day
can someone tell me how to move the cahe folder of opera browser from the phone memory to the card memory i have an hd blackston wm 6.1
thanks
Hi there,
you can try the following (sourced from mobilitysite.com):
Move data and cache around to save memory
By default Opera installed a bunch of files and keeps cache in precious application data space (RAM). At least with the WM2003se version. By moving all of these files to a CF Card or SD memory stick you free up valuable RAM.
1) Edit the "Opera.ini" file located in "\Application Data\Opera"
2) Go to the "[User Prefs]" group
3) Change "Opera Directory=\Application Data\Opera" to a location that you would prefer such as "\cf card\opera"
4) Change "Help Directory=\Application Data\Opera\Help" to a location that you would prefer such as "\cf card\opera\help"
5) Move the following files and folders to the location that you specified above:
cach4 (folder)
help (folder)
imgcss (folder)
startpage (folder)
styles (folder)
chartables.bin
cookies4.dat
global.dat
opcacrt6.dat
opera.dir
oprand.dat
opssl6.dat
viger.dat
vlink4.dat
You are left with these files/folders in "\Application Data\Opera"
skin (folder)
opera6.adr
input.ini
opera.ini
english.lng

Try connecting via Activesync on your PC to locate the Opera.ini file, not through File Explorer, Resco Explorer, or Total Commander. If you still cannot find the file, on your PC, go to the Control Panel, Folder Options. In Folder Options on the View tab, under Hidden Files and folders, select the Show Hidden Files and Folders radio option, click OK.
1.Connect your phone to your computer, and connect to ActiveSync.
2.Open the ActiveSync window, then click the Explore Device button.
3.Navigate to \Application Data\Opera 9.x.
4.Find the opera.ini file (If you don't have file extensions enabled, it should just show as "opera".)
5.Copy the file to your desktop.
6.Open the file in a text editor, such as Notepad. Immediately do a File>Save as and rename the file to something other than opera.ini. This is your backup, just in case.
7.Now open the original opera.ini file. Scroll down to the [User Prefs] section and insert the following line: Cache Directory4=\Storage Card\operacache\. (Note: "operacache" can be renamed to anything you want.) Save and close the file.
8.Copy the new file back to your device, into the same \Application Data\Opera 9.x.
I'm not aware of any other ways to get around this.

Hi Abiis,
Yes. Unfortunately, this will affect the speed of your browser. I'm not saying you should try this, all I have done is posted a possible solution in reference to your query. I personally wouldn't recommend putting the cache on the storage card as this will result in slowing down the browser and possibly make it crash more often.
It is entirely up to you whether you try this but if you do not want a slow and laggy browser, then I would suggest you avoid doing this.
Good luck
