i created a folder inside "My documents" in the "Internal Storage" of my diamond to store take advantage of the whole 4 Gb. Inside this folder i created some other folders to classify my documents (personal, work, etc)
When i use mobile office file explorer to open a document, even though i browse trought all folders, i don't see any of the folders i created. How can i open the files from here.
Right now what i do is use the file explorer, go to the location and click the file.
Anyone knows how to see the files from mobile office file explorer?
Thanks in advance
By default, Pocket Word read only 1 subfolder depth... that's why it reads only in \Internal Storage\My Documents, but not in your created subfolders.
As I can remember (and if it's always like this with WM6.1), you can force Pocket Word (and others Office apps) to read only in \Internal Storage\My Documents (and not in whole \Internal Storage), so that it'll be able to read your subfolders in \Internal Storage\My Documents... you just need a little file in the root of Internal Storage.
But... there's a "but"... I don't remember which file it is (and/or where/how you can find/create it)... sorry... I give you only the first step... hope someone will give you the 2nd one ^_^
ahahahaaaaaa... I finally find : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319516/en-us/
This little file (just an empty one) is called Ignore_my_docs... but it won't help you... you need a "Use_my_docs" file ^_^.
Now i know the reason why, anyway, i think i will stick to file explorer to look for my documents.
Thanks!

new xda mini s

looking to move photos to storage card or even 'my documents' to storage card.
I am sure it is on this web site or wiki but I have looked for a week.

I don't know about moving the My Documents folder to the storage card but moving the picture/video storage to the storage card is quite simple ^_^ Simply load the Camera application, click the settings button (the icon with the picture of the screwdriver and hammer), click Tools -> Options..., then goto the General tab. At the bottom of that window you will see 'Save to:' followed by a drop box. Change the value there from Main Memory to Storage Card. Now all of the pictures and videos that you take will be saved to your storage card instead of to the phones main memory. I hope this helps some ^_^
good start
was not quite what I was thinking but actually it will do the job for the moment.
Thanks

Why not just use total commander in 2 window mode and drag and drop the entire picture folder onto the storage card? Why would you need a registy tweak to move photos? :?:

To keep the camera from saving it to the main memory to save space
I haven't tried it myself but wouldn't a simple shortcut do the trick? delete the My Documents on the device and put a shortcut to a folder on the storage card instead...

If you delete the My Docs folder from the device Mobile Word at the very least will cease to function (at least in my experiences...)
I use the info I found Help I need to remove SD Card reg hack for \storage card\my documents\my pictures to default my camera's pics and videos to \\storage card\my documents\my pictures and \my images.
The exact key is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image]
value of "Saveto" = 0 will save images to main memory
value of "Saveto" = 1 will save images to storage card
Attached is a cab (rename from the zip extension) that changes the 0 to a 1 in both places.
Bear in mind that ActiveStink will NOT sync folders on your SC so you need to either do it manually or use a 3rd party solution.
Hope I was of some help.

Hi all, been lurking here for a couple of years now & found the site invaluable as a source of information about my device's. I have an xda11i & 2 xda orbits. I have a tip for all who use TomTom Nav6 on their device's.
I had a problem where if I entered a postcode into TomTom it would only allow me to use the first 3 digits & then I would have to sort out the rest of the address manually, pointless!
then I read that I needed to move the folder called Zip to the /programs/navigator folder on the device. this though takes up nearly 10mb of space!
here's a way to save 10mb & still have postcode's working.
instead of moving the folder called Zip paste a shortcut to it in the /programs/navigator folder instead.

Forgot to mention you need to rename the shortcut from "shortcut to zip" to "Zip"

Just move all the TomTom stuff from you device to the equivelent folders on your storage card. Redirect the TomTom shorcut in \Windows\Start Menu and you will free up even more space.
Wow, an even better way to save space. Thanks for the heads up
thanks Wizzard

if you have bluetooth folders enabled, tomtom can't see the "ZIP" postcode folder on the storage card or the VOICES folder on the storage card. You can either copy the "ZIP" folder into the Navigator folder in main memory or you can disable Bluetooth Folders (start, settings connections, bluetooth, ftp)
Anyone know if there is a way to "tidy up" you storage card by placing all TomTom Files into one File (called "TomTom" for instance? If so what exactly do I need to redirect?
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?

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.
How do we create a folder within the Album destination storage folder?
When I take pictures they are going on my storage card and the only visible folder is "100media". I tried creating additionnal folders within to sort my pictures but it is not seen by Album function.
Any idea, otherwise all my pics are seen in sequence 1 by one.
i didnt really got what you want ...
i mean would plz explian more
When you use the camera option, all pics taken are saved on my storage card. So they end up in 1 folder; 100media. I am looking on how to create another folder within this one to sort my pictures in categories.
ex: -100media\home i would store my home pics
-100media\kids i would store my kids pic
and so on!
well ... im not sure about that really sorry
but you can take and then move them to another folder as you want
but im sure there is away to change that but i cant remember
I tried creating additionnal folders with Explorer but when looking them up with Album function, they are nowhere to be found. All I see is the folder "100media".....
It means that if i download 200 pics on storage card, i will have to scroll through all of them to get to last one since I can't categorize them....
Found how to created folders to sort my pics.....by using Explorer you have to create other folders BUT they don't appear in Album application until you actually do transfert a pic into it......
That is why I could not see the folder once created, they were still empty
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.
