Try Windows\Rings

Make sure that when you go into the "Explore" tab in Active Sync, you have selected to UNhide all files and folders through "Tools > Options". Otherwise, your Windows folder won't even appear in the Explore window.

After you've opened "Explore" in ActiveSync, tap "Tools > Folder Options". Then open the "View" tab. Under the Folder that say's "Hidden files and folders, tap the radio button next to "Show hidden files and folders". Exit out of that window and your Windows directory folder will now show up.

Problem with application start menu links

On mmy 8925 Tilt, I did just what I did on my old 8525, but I am having error messages.
I went into Windows > Start Menu > Programs, and made some new folders to organize my shortcuts.
I now. randomly, get two specific program error messages that the .lnk file cannot be found, BUT, when I go to the Start Menu, click on the link, the two applications open and operate.
Any suggestion, other than move the link. Thanks

Are you using the Menu tool in the Settings-Home tab? For some reason when you assign a program to the Start menu, it moves the shortcut from the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder to the Windows/Start Menu folder. This then screws up any shortcuts you have setup (like in the appplication tab of the HTC home plugin).
I wonder if there is a registry setting to change this behavior? This did not happen on my 8525 w/ WM6.

No, that is not an issue. These are links that were listed under Programs, in the Start Menu, that I moved into subfolders that I created; like the folder "Utilities" has within it MemMaid, and SK Tools, etc.
I would create a new link for the two entries that 'short circuit' and replace the old (original) links, but I do not know how to do this!
Can anyone help me create new links??
Thanks

I am not quite sure exactly what you are trying to do, but here is what I do to create folders and shortcuts in my Start Menu\Programs folder.
With a File Explorer Navigate to Windows\Start Menu\Programs (or the directory you want to put the links in)
Click Menu, select New Folder, and type the desired name for the folder.
Next Navigate to the .EXE file for the program you want to make a shortcut to. (If it is a program you have added, it may be in either the \\Program Files, \\Windows, or \\Storage Card\Program Files folder)
Highlight the .EXE file and select Menu->Edit->Copy
Next Navigate back to the Folder you created in the Start Menu\Programs
Select Menu->Edit->Paste Shortcut (This will create a .lnk file that links back to the .EXE) You can rename the .lnk file whatever you like, and that is what will show up in the Programs Folder.

application and folders

hello
i need to move many application shortcuts from programs menu to folder.
like ofice mobile: contain word, excel , power point...
system tools: internet sharing, comm manager...
i am using romeos rom

Hi,
What you need to do is using your phones File Explorer or something similar, navigate to your windows directory, then the directory called start Menu.
In here you can create new folders and move icons around into different folders. this will then show how you want it to on the Start > Programs menu when you navigate your programs list.
Hope this helps you.

ROMeOS containts Total Commander on the start menu (not in programs). Open it and navigate to the \Windows\Start menu folder, then you move files like in you do in Normal Desktop Windows.
Thanks

Help Please - File Explorer

Hi, I'm a noob, so please be gentle!
I want to navigate to the "windows" folder on my Diamond.
It won't show at all on File Manager on Windows Mobile Device Centre and when I try to open it on File Explorer on the Diamond through the internal storage route, it just hangs with a blank screen and the "timer".
Can anyone shed any light please, thank you.

Windows folder....
On your PC, you need to uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" or you won't be able to see the 'windows' folder on your device.
If you're using Vista, open any folder such as 'My Documents':
Organize - Folder and Search Options - View tab - uncheck the above.
Don't know about XP. It's that long since I used that operating system

It does display the "Windows" file, thank you.

how to create shortcut to tomtom?

Hi guys,
I have tomtom navigator installed to storage card but cannot create a shortcut on the today screen either through easytodaylauncher or spb ms3.5.
I got through the usual steps to create a shortcut but tomtom is not there.
to open tomtom I have to go to storagecard/navigator and select the .exe file for it to run.
I have tried copying the .exe file onto the device in to programfiles with no joy.
Please could someone with better intellegence than me tell me how to do it?
Thank you for reading.

Use total commander to create a shortcut to \windows\Start menu\Programs
I also got it at Storage card. Dunno if it will show up at easytodaylauncher and spb ms3.5 but i think so.

Tap and hold .exe file, select Edit > Copy, then navigate to windows/start menu/programs and tap menu and then select Edit > Paste Shortcut. Come out of the folder, go back in and there should be "Shortcut to TomTom..", rename.

Please elaborate on your problem. Does the shortcut appear in the file explorer?
