when i just got a 4 gb card for my Tilt, i noticed that it automaitcally made a my documents folder after i took a couple pictures and had it automatically store them on my card, now when i go to my documents it only show what's in my documents that was saved to the device not what's saved in the card, i have to go to file explorer/storage card/my documents to look at what's on the card, so basically i have to different my documents i have to navigate two, is there a way to fix this so i only have to go to what's on the card, and will i have this probem for any other folders and/or programs were i have to look between the device and card?

1, please use punctuation so that your post is much easier to grasp
2, that is, basically, you want to configure the camera to store its pictures in \My Documents on the card and not in the default \DCIM? The solution is very simple and, actually, I have linked it before (see the Wiki - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...e software & hacking news (11-17-2007) & tips ): http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-K...4/HOW-TO-Make-the-Camera-save-to-My-Pictures/
I think i may have phrased that wrong. Basically I have "My Documents" in two places on my Tilt. One in the device memory and one in the storage card. I didn't create either of them, the one in the storage card was created automatically after i took a pic and it gave me an option were i want to save the pic to (device or storage card) I selected storage card and that's were the second "my documents" file was created. I'd like the 2nd 'my documents" folder to be the main one, so can i just delete the folder in the device storage? One thing I noticed if i got to settngs/menus and see what options i want to put on the start menu, i only have the option of the "my documents" under the device storage, not the sd card "my documents" which is the one i want to use.
Hello everbody,
I searched the complete WIKI, but I didn't find a working solution for changing the default "my documents" folder from the internal memory to the storage card. Only changing the registry key "NoSubFolderIn" doesn't work.
Is someone out there, who has already solved the problem???

The only thing I did was create the folder myself on my memory card then switch the programs I use to save and load from that folder, via the options in the program. I imagine this cannot be done for every program but it's certainly better than nothing.

Thanx for your reply.
I understood what you meant but that wasn't the solution I was searching for. Normally you just have to tweak a registry key and the Windows Mobile OS thinks, that it should use the "My Documents" Folder on the storage card. This would be very useful, if you activate the "File Synchronisation" in ActiveSync. For example: When you want to synchronise a lot of MP3s with your Device it's not good when they're automatically stored in the "My Documents" Folder in the internal memory. It would be much better, when they're automatically stored in the "My Documents" Folder at the storage card, because it has a capacity of ~16GB.
In other version of the Windows Mobile OS (for example ver. 6.0) there were some easy tweaks to do this. But in version 6.1 these tweaks don't work.
Someones out there who has another solution for this problem?

This setting (and loads more) can be changed in 'Advanced Configuration Tool' available on these forums. Works fine on my X1.
I started this thread quite sometime ago.. although it was for my deceased mini, but the concept is the same and i'm still using it now... hope this is what u r looking for...

Sorry,
but the "Advanced Config" Tool themse to work, but when I'm using the "File Synchronisation" via active sync, the synched file is placed into a new created "My Documents" Folder in internal memory (not on the storage card as it should). Very annoying :-(((
Someone an idea for a workaround or has someone made the same experience with SE Xperia X1 and the "My Documents" Folder???
Best Regards,
Joern
would say it an activesync issue rather then an x1 issue
suppose that ms feels that as storage is removable mem it's
not something you can depend on always being there so if
programs 100% depend on storage being there sd cards is not
seen as a valid choice as a program activesync too should be prepared
for having the sdcard being ejected in the middle of a sync
kinda like having my documents on pc relocated to a floppy or dvd-rw disc

Not sure if this applies to newer versions of Windows Mobile any more or even if it will fix your problem, but it won't do any harm to try...
Delete the file "Ignore_My_Documents.txt" if it exists on your storage card. This file was mean't to stop windows being bogged down with searching the storage card for documents and concentrate on internal storage. Don't worry about deleting it, as it reappears when you remove/re-insert your card next time.
This is easy
I've been doing this for years:
Using a registry editor on your phone, go to:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory]
Change:
Folder = "My Documents"
Name = "My Documents"
Close Registry Editor, open a File Explorer and delete the original "My Documents" folder. Reboot.
When it comes up, your SD card will be your My Documents folder.
NOTE!
My Documents will be recreated if you reboot with the SD Card out. If you fail to delete the regular My Documents folder prior to rebooting... your SD card will resort to "My Documents 2". This of course will break your links to anything installed on it.
SOLUTION: Just delete the original My Documents folder and either:
A.) Plug into USB as Mass Storage (which removes the SD card) then unplug it (which will restore it as "My Documents"
OR
B.) Reboot
Here is my UC XML file code that I launch during first boot.
Since the UC will automatically reboot, it will initially come up as "My Documents 2"... so finish making some customizations, delete the original "My Documents" and reboot (you usually have to a few times for program install anyway).
Code:
<!-- SDCard Hack -->
<characteristic type="HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory">
<parm name="Folder" datatype="string" value="My Documents"/>
<parm name="Name" datatype="string" value="My Documents"/>
</characteristic>
VERY Seldom do I have to delete the Original "My Documents" folder. As long as you typically leave the microSD card installed you'll be fine. Even when plugged in to USB as Mass Storage, the original "My Documents" should never return.
Probably one of the best edits for the Windows Mobile.
Solves SO many things:
- Themes loaded from SD
- Ringtones, Backgrounds
- Bluetooth auto saves to "My Documents" (which is the memory card now!)
- Pictures auto save to "My Documents" (you get the picture)
- When installing apps to the SD Card, choose "My Documents" (Storage Card won't even show up)
I've never had a SINGLE problem doing this. If anything it makes everything work... especially loading pics and music from Today Plugins like HTC TouchFlo 3D.
Sorry for the question since it's my first WM...
I installed many apps to main memory and storage card also, but all .cabs are grouped in the "apps" folder I made on card,
It shouldn't be a problem?
I did the mentioned procedure and the only problem I noticed so far is:
When I edit tasks I receive Error:
Code:
Could not create the voice link recording directory.
Can anyone tell me the name of that directory as I think if I manually created in My Documents it should work.

Sorry but I'm not too impressed by this hack.
You end up loosing your file syncing, I also like to have my large music folder separate my from My Documents on the memory card - which you cannot do with this hack... and other problems.
Had my hopes up for that fix, but then realised it will think the whole car is the my documents folder.
Ive done a search of the registry and changed every /my documents path to /internal memory/my documents, but this doesnt work for everything, and it seems there are still some programs which recreate my docs on the main storage (This is for HTC Touch Diamond).
The main issue for me is being able to sync with activesync to the new location of the my documents.
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 All,
Not very technical so looking for your professional help! Having trouble with nearly full memory on my Samsung Omnia II (Verizon). Have already deleted cookies/cache/browsing history. I want to save all my apps to the MicroSD card but am told I can only save pictures, videos and music to the MicroSD card. I've changed the setting in Windows Marketplace to Select Default Install Location as \Storage Card - but the apps are still saving to Device.
Is there a way to save all my apps to the card and not the device??
Thanks!
EXCELSIOR!
checkout sktools. it has programs to move files data etc and tell the system what it has done. its not free but its definitely worth it. many many features.
Not a pro.. but.. how about dont use Microsoft marketplace.. however, I know you can play with the registry to change the default directory... im sure you can look it up..or someone can post the link.
I need some help here. Just bought a HTC HD7 but I cant see the SD card on my computer so I can import/export files.The card shows in Zune but Zune wont transfer files except music/video/pictures
Can anyone help me with this issue? I really appreciate it
That's the way it is with WP7, sorry. Not limited to the HD7.
You essentially have two primary options.
1. jailbreak/root your phone.
2. use cloud storage such as SkyDrive for non media documents. You get 25 gigs of storage with your live account, but unfortunately at this time individual files are limited to 50 megs.
ebooks for example, I use DropBox for cloud storage and the Freda ereader, which can connect to dropbox accounts.
You have another option for office docs and that is a sharepoint site.
Storage issues
Hi Jimbonics and thanks for your fast reply. Maybe is not the right site to ask however how do I jailbreak/root my phone? Is there a website to show u step by step or at least some instructions?
Thanks again for your help
You can follow the advice of whynot2007 in this post. Even though it refers to PDF's, it gets you access to your SD card. I've never done it, so....
