To be honest I'm not quite sure what you are asking but I think it is that your windows folder is not showing on your pc when exploring thru AS. Have you tried to explore via my computer/mobile device? Is it the same when you do?
After you click on the Explore button and the window opens, click on: My Windows Mobile Based Device.
It should be the first item listed at the top of the explorer window.
Then you will see all the root level folders ... including \windows.
On your PC, double check your Folder Options in the Windows Control Panel. Make sure "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is unchecked.
Actually that "hide protected operating system files" only applies to the PC.
It makes no difference when you are talking about your connected Windows Mobile device.
That option is checked on my PC, and I can see and browse the Windows Mobile \windows directory just fine.
When you first click on the Explore button it launches you into the My Documents folder on the WM device. To move to the root you need to click on My Windows Mobile-Based Device.
Me either can`t see windows folder, I tried both ways, with unchecked hide protecting operating blah-blah, through AS and My Computer, and I can`t see the Windows folder on my Kaiser.

I used to be able to see the windows folder (on my phone) from windows explorer (on my computer). Where the hell did it it go????
Hidden? Check folder options on you're computer.
Sorry I should've put that in my initial post. I have the folder options set to show hidden/system files.

You're running Vista? Windows shows it by default. Vista doesn't.
Anyway, you have to disable option Hide Windows System Files and Folders in folder options.

how to access windows folder in Vista device center 6.1
in active sync 4.5 it was easy
Open Windows Explorer. Press ALT. You'll see a menu. Press Tools -> Folder Options. Go to the View tab. Uncheck Hide protected operating system files and also chose Show hidden files and folders. Press OK.
Now you'll be able to see the Windows folder on your PDA.
Hi all
well, I have a problem with sync. I can't see windows folder in my PC.
iI see only a folder with \ and internal storage but nothing inside of it called windows
make sure you have hidden files and folders visible on your pc.
i had that problem with XP and Activesync (Windows didnt show) it works fine with vista and wmdc
also are you sure you have activesync and not "disk drive" selected when you plug usb in?
I can see my windows folder on the phone, but exploring the phone through windows and my laptop I don't see the windows folder.
correct.
You will not see your windows root directory via activesync. You need to make whatever changes you need on PPC via a File Explorer App.
If you use Windows Explorer, go into Tools (Press ALT to see the menu) > Folder Options and set it to show protected system folders and then refresh the window if needed. This is tested to work on Vista. As for XP, you can use ActiveSync and hit "Explore" to see it.
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.
