Is there a reg hack to change the default folder that syncs with your desktop through Activesync? I would like to have a folder on my micro SD card sync, rather than the "My Documents" folder on the device itself.
I am sure I have read a post that had a hack for this, but I'll be darned if I can find it now!
TIA,
MW

Using Vista Mobile Device Center it will only sync the device's My Documents folder , where no option auto-sync a storage card.
In Mobile center you can only select which files you can sync - but now which folders ?!?!? How stupid Is that ? ?!?!

How did you get on with this 3UK?
I am having issues with this too. I have a heap of largish electronic manuals that I need to keep on the Storage Card. I want them to to sync the the Vista Mobile Device Center File sync folder. In my case "Loggers Docs on TyTNII" This way I can edit the docs when the Kaiser is not connected and changes I make will sync to the device.
Has anyone come up with a solution for this? Seems ridiculous that one can have a 8GB memory card cull of documents and none of them syncing!
How do I email an attachment w/Tilt using gmail and the regular email app that comes w/the Tilt. I see were i can attach a pic, but it goes to the device my pictures folder, i can't see were to get into the storage card folder, i see were you can select all folders and it brings up everything on teh device, but nothing on the storage card, the programs files is empty on all folders too, can you not attach from the storage card w/the outlook email? Also is there a way to make a my documents folder on the device that has a path to the storage card?
I was able to do this no problem on my 8525. There are several registry settings that allow you to change the location of your My Documents, E-mail messages, and attachments to the Storage Card instead of internal memory. The is crucial for me as I store a ton of e-mail with large attachments on my phone. (None of it security sensitive mind you.)
The problem I'm finding with the Tilt, is that it reads the registry settings BEFORE it recognizes the Storage Card! So what ends up happening is it created a folder in internal memory called Storage Card and calls the actual storage card, Storage Card2 !!! I can remove the storage card, and delete the Storage Card directory, turn phone on and re-insert the Storage Card and it keeps doing the same thing!
I know there
Help!
Here's the setting in case anyone is interested:
Change the location of My Documents
Documents are opened in and saved to the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\Storage Card\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Change the location of email and attachments
When reading and sending email in Pocket Outlook, emails and their attachments are saved in the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings\PropertyPath = "\Storage Card\Mail" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\AttachPath = "\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
Just simply delete these Registry settings (since neither is included by default).
I found the problem after searching and searching the net in some obscure post about changing the storage locations on a WM5 phone.
On some devices, the way the phone boots, the Messaging plugin for the Today screen loads before the storage card is recognized. This appears to be the case with my Tilt. (BTW I upgraded to latest ROM 1.6x to see if that helped - didn't) If I disable the Message plugin in the Today settings, everything works.
So now I need to decide if it is more important to store my mail on my card or have the messaging plugin. I suppose I can use 3rd part software for displaying messaging info on my Today screen?

So, If I make the registry changes for email that you mentioned and then use Spb Mobile Shell (or HTC Home) to display messaging info on the Today Screen, I can have my emails saved to the storage card automatically?
Can a program like Total Commander allow me to create registry entries, or only edit them?
Thanks
Please disregard.
I have been trying now for about 5 hours, but I can not find a way to change the active sync pathway to the internal storage area on the device.
I have 4 GB but the only way I can fill them up is by manualy transfering the files using the disk drive function and a USB conection.
Isn't there an easier way to sync the phones internal mem?
Active Sync will not let me choose where on the device it sync's the "my documents" too when I include "sync files". And windows media player doesn't know what day it is never mind which device it is talking too.
Can anyone help me?
Is there any app out there that will backup your files via Bluetooth or WiFi when you're in range to your PC? Like it cross checks to make sure the files on your Phone are the same on your PC. Sync and update new files.
There are programs you can run on your computer that would sync it anytime you mounted the sd card...I'm not sure about automatic sync purely over wifi/bt.

That sounds usable too. Mind telling me where I can find something like that? Basically want a folder on my HDD to sync with my SD card. Ideally I'd like something that would sync with my computer at any WiFi spot, kind of like my own personal Cloud.
there are a few programs that can do it, first id try Memeo Auto Sync, which you can make sync whenever it mounts, then also ViceVersa, but idk how well that will work for syncing the g1, its schedule based.
