I copied a .wav file to my XDAIIi to use as a ringtone (this was before I found out I could use .wma and save myself loads of precious memory). I thought I had removed the file, but it still appears in the list under the 'Add ringtone' app and it can still be played in this app. It's wasting over 6mb... has anyone got any ideas how I can find it? I was thinking perhaps there would be a registry entry or something similar, relating to the 'add ringtone' app that would list the file's it knows and their locations? Or does anyone else have another idea, because I can't (for some reason) find it using the 'find' app.
Many thanks.

Hi guys - I have a strange problem where files I have downloaded from PIE seems to be on the device (or SD card) but I cannot find them with File Explorer / Resco File explorer.
I have used Kaisertweak to set my download location as storage card\My documents\images (for images obviously - videos for video files etc).
When I download an image the picture is opened by straight after, so I know it is there - however in the property box it is listed as being in My Documents\\storage card\My documents\images. However I cannot find this directory, even by using the find file dialogue!
Has anybody else experienced this / found a solution?
I am especially concerned about there being a hidden directory in the device taking up valuable storage space - I believe I downloaded a 20MB video file at one point!
Cheers!
I think I ran into the same thing, and it was just a user misunderstanding of poor terminology. When the popup comes up saying "Would you like to save ... file to the Device" there are options for "Yes" and "Save As". If you choose yes, it doesn't seem to actually save it to the device (as you would expect, since it just asked if you want to save it) but I think that is intended to only temporarily save things like .cab files that are supposed to run and install something, kind of like the RUN option when opening a file on a regular PC. If you want to save it, I think the only way is to hit the "Save As" option and you can then choose the location.
EDIT: I didn't read your whole post before answering...as far as the Kaisertweak options for photos, video, etc., the same thing applies. Basically, the storage location defined in KaiserTweak doesn't seem to make any difference, as you still have to use the "Save As" option to get it to actually save.
Thanks snooginsguy - hopefully that means I don't have any large hidden video files clogging up my device memory!
I am surprised nobody has mentioned that the storage location defined in KaiserTweak doesn't seem to make any difference on the (long!) Kaisertweaks thread though - I would have assumed the default location is where files get saved if you don't specify a location (as they would on XP).
When MyDocuments is moved to an SD card, each time you try to create a new Note, you get this error:
"Could not create the voice link recording directory."
Also the every file shows twice in the Notes browser.
Has anyone come up with a solution yet? What does this error mean?
How can I move the default save location from "My Documents" to "My Documents\Notes"
Has anyone seen a solution for this yet?
At least does anyone else experience it?
Hi,
I am also experiencing this and have Googled the living daylight out of this but not yet found the solution. Did you?
I also get the double entries. Not only when using the Voice Recorder but also when using Notes even without a recording.
The problem that looked simulair was with the AudioManager of the HTC Touch Pro. The sollution there was to change the directories that AudioManager was scanning. There were 2 possible entries and both were set on "My Documents". However I can't find a simulair entry for Notes or Voice Recorder, but I might have overlooked it.
Also AdvancedConfig doesn't have an entry for a Notes or Voice default directory.
If there are more issues that keep being unresolved I might even consider changing the Storage Card the way it was.

AJ
Solved: "Could not create the voice link recording directory"
Cause: This error occurs after moving the "My Documents" folder from Main Memory to a Storage Card, Internal Storage or some other location. The (misleading) error message appears becausethe Notes application still looks for templates in the original Main Memory location. Word and Excel also show (different) error messages for the same reason.
Solution: Make sure that Notes, Word, Excel etc. templates are available in the folder "\My Documents\Templates" in Main Memory even after moving My Documents to a different location.
WM6 Templates needed.
Hi,
I also have this nasty error message. I copied the templates in the \Meine Dokumente\Vorlagen Folder (= german version of \My Documents\Templates) but it doesn't helped at all. Maybe it's because they are WM5 templates. Could anyone please copy WM6 templates ti this forum?
Regards, Michael.

I solved it by browsing to My Documents and creating a new directory named My Voices.
Fix: Do not hide my documents for god's sake

I have the same problem. Plus, I would like to open a picture in HTC album from file explorer, but it always just opens the default album, not the picture I want to open.
Any help is appreciated!
Yeah, I would be lost without the forum as well!

make a .lnk file with the following:
20#"Windows\htcalbum.exe" -directory:\my documents
if you want another folder just replace my documents with what ever you want

No, nothing here either
Can block all folders except in Internal Storage..
Hello,
the only solution I'm aware of is to set the 'hidden' attribute on the folders which should not be visible in the HTC-Album.
In my experience each individual image has to have the hidden attribute set, rather than the folders.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424784
Hello Dave,
yes, you're right.
I used "Total Commander/CE", and tried to set the hidden-attribute on a folder called "Musik", and selected "Recurse subdirs". Then I checked some subfolders an saw that the folders were not marked "hidden" (that does work with "Total Commander 32" on my PCs). But after a reboot, HTC-Album didn't list any of the subfolders inside the "Musik"-folder. So I thought it was enough to mark the top-folder hidden to hide all subfolders, too.
I just checked the folder again and saw that Total-Commander/CE had marked all files 'hidden'.
So it's not as easy as I thought.

It's easy enough from a desktop computer in USB disk drive mode.
I don't generally use HTC Album but this is a fix I have to do with my music album art in order to keep the program actually usable. It's a really flawed bit of software IMO.
Hello all,
It was suggested to me to post this question here.
I am looking for a way to basically poing any and all possible to the storage card. I think I remember a couple years back finding one for my Hermes here at XDA-Developers.com but now I can't seem to locate it??
I would like it if someone knows how to or an app to do this if they could let me know. I think I remember the other one being a .cab that directed everything to the card.
Does this make sense to anyone?
PS: I know on the camera app you can select the device or the card.
Make it little clear
do you want to receive files(say songs etc) through bluetooth and get them stored in memory card and want to place inbox in memory card ?
chand
the moon
Well what I was thinking was I would like any and all files to be stored on the card.
For instance, when active-sync creates a short cut on the desktop (pc) for files to be sync'd there is a list of folders... If I click "Explore" in AS it opens to files on my device. Now if I follow it correctly, all the files in the (pc) desktop shortcut leads to the folders in the "My Docs" on the device.
The last sentenance is what I would like to change, I would like for any and all files besides apps or system files to be stored on the card.
Meaning, no "My docs" on the device memory, just the card.
Is there a way in the registry or something else to change the path for said folders to be redirected to the memory card?
I don't think there is an app that will do this
SKTools has a "move file" option that says it will move the file and update information in the registry, but its not clear if this applies to folders
Now, you could try using a registry editor with find-replace to find all instances of "/My Documents" and change it to something like "/Storage Card/My Documents", then soft reset and see if that works -- I can't seem to find a registry editor that does find and replace like this -- anyone?
Advanced Config Tool (attached) will allow you to specify default locations for directories.
Hi, I'm looking for an app (I don't know if it exists, but I think it should) that stores the lasts things copied into clipboard and has an option to sticky some of them and after that, you can choose what to paste without accesing to the app itself, but in the place where you want to paste it. Something like "clipboard history" for windows.
Do you know any? I can't find anything usefull :s
Thanks!!!
