Lost TCPMP

I've been having dropped call problems with my MDA (another story) and in the process of working on that, T mobile sent me a new phone. Now, I've got most of my original programs working on the new phone but for some reason, I can't get the phone to recognize TCPMP. It's on my storage card and I can access and run it from the storage card, but there is no icon under Program Files anymore. I'm sure the fix is so simple, I just can't see it. Any ideas?
Thx,
April

You either need to reinstall it so it apprears in your program list, or just create a shortcut teh the file on your SD card and place the shortcut in your \windows\start menu\programs folder
There're instructions for creating shortcuts floating around here. I'msure you can find them with a little searching.

I suppose you didn't reinstall your TCPMP... If you want to have your Core Player back into your Programs list again, put a shortcut at /Windows/Start Menu/Programs

The first thing I tried to do was reinstall TCPMP but I guess the site was down. Couldn't access even the first page. I'll try the start menu option next. Thx for the replies.

Quick update... I successfully added the icon back to the start menu. Thanks for your help!

WINDOWS FOLDER Not VISIBLE

Anyone know how to make the Windwos folder vivible so I can easily get to the RINGS folder fron Explore in ActiveSync. It's marked as hidden and a system folder in RESCO EXPLORER. When I uncheck the boxes in Properties and go back in to look they have not changed. Does anyone know if there is another registry setting to make this viible?
Ta!

Windows folder is always visible, the last folder under My Device is Windows and it definitely is not hidden,anyway which rom are you using?

Using the standard ROM from Orange and it's definitely NOT visiable from within explorer on my PC...it is from the Trinity but its attibutes are hidden and that's why the PC cannot see it. And as I said if I change the attibs and take the HIDDEN off... it puts it back on again (or doesn't take it off)

You cannot change the attributes of the windows folder.
If you change the explorer settings on the PC so as to display hidden files and folders, then you will be able to see it.

Dohh! Stupid me of course..THANKS!!!
As you've been so helpfull....any ideal how I can get a version of Task Magaer on my Trinity. Orange doesn't supply one. Someone posted a CAB they had extracted on here for me that other day. It loaded OK but did not close down the programs only left them in the background as does the OK button???

Windows Directory

Is there any way to view/edit the contents of the Windows directory on my AT&T Tilt from a PC? I want to customize the shortcuts/folders/startup programs and the only way to even see the Windows directory is on the phone itself, which is extremely tedious. The Windows directory does not show up in Windows Explorer, ActiveSync or other 3rd party software I have tried that contain file browsers. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I must be misunderstanding what your asking because...
If you are using Activesync, you most certainly can browes files on your phone as you would the files on your desktop. Two ways to get there. Either by:
My Computer \ Mobile Device
Or through the Activesync program and clicking on the Explore icon.
You also may want to make sure you have your view settings to where hidden files can be seen.

I can see all folders/files except for the Windows Directory from my PC. Nothing is set to hidden.

I'm guessing that you're using Vista....you need to go to your folder options in Vista (Organize->Folder and Search Options->View) and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files."

Tried on another machine (both running XP) and it's fine. Settings are the same on both. Could it be something with permissions? Thank for your replies.

With active synch up, click explore
Now click My Window Mobile-Based Device
Windows folder should be there along with your storage card
If it isn't, your device is probably possessed by the devil and you should consider an exorcism

Yep - works that way on one machine but not the other.
Oh, and your mother sucks c**ks in Hell, Karras, you faithless slime...

Found the problem. Had contracted a root kit virus some time ago on my other machine. Was able to clean everyhing, but one of the wonderful features of this virus was to delete the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden" key.
Sneaky bastards...
I restored it from the good machine and everything is all good now.
Thanks again for everyone's time.

I guess Smuook was right, possessed by the devil.

SharedSD as StorageCard in WinMo?

We can use Vista\XP-SharedSDcard as Network folder in WinMo via VM_Network_Browser+Network_Folder.
May by you know some program for WinMo that can emulate this SDcard (or Network folder) as StorageCard for WinMo?

Have asked the same thing, searched, but failed
Although more or less similar options have been descibed at this forum, I'm also still look "exactly" for what you are asking.
Reason : TomTom and some Aviation Software that I run won't run unless they see something like \Storage Card (in whatever language)
We need to emulate the drive from Vista to WinMo, connecting isn't a problem... we know, it's the emulation that is need for the reason above.
The software isn't available for Vista, so I don't care the power drain of running vista, JUST for the SD card.
So connecting it as a network folder won't help, anyone with a trick to fool WinMo into thinking it's the local SD card ?

Hi mate did you find anything for this, agree with you tomtom needs to see a folder called \storage card for it to work.

SD card access still strongly desired!!
I too am also looking for access to the SD card so that I can load up my WM side with many many programs!

thought i nearly had it....
on my x1 with tomtom7 installed there is a file in navigator folder called currentmap
when i open this file in notepad i got map location @ \stoarge card
so what i thought i could do is just change that to network\ storage card etc etc
but it did not work..............
never mind hey

[Q] Htc Hd7 as a USB drive.... Now What?

I managed to follow the instructions found at knowyourcell.com about turning your HD7 into a USB drive... It will open and read as a drive, but I can't transfer or read anything... Help would be appreciated. I am a noob so please take it easy on me.... What now? How can I open it up?
Instructions:
1. Open Windows Registry Editor by typing regedit in your start menu
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB
3. Perform a search for ZuneDriver
1. The search should yield a result similar to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00\6&27ffd631&0&0000\Device Parameters\WUDF
4. Click up one level to the Device Parameters key
5. Change ShowInShell from 0 to 1
6. Change PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell from 1 to 0
7. Change EnableLegacySupport from 0 to 1
8. Change EnableDefaultAutoPlaySupport

Thats what i saw in my Explorer.
Tried to cpy a mp3 file into Music, that did not work.
After a restart of hd7 i came only to the level Storage - no sub folders are visable any more now.
And even with my first attempt i had now folder for movies. May be as i do not have any movie in devices storage?

Now everything works fine.
It did'nt work, as there was a filtransfer by zune on his way to the phone. And even killing zune on pc blocked the storage card.
-So edit the registry as mentioned above
-connect your hd7 via usb to pc
-zune starts now
-kill all zune transfer processes
-kill zune
-go to your windows explorer
-you can copy and past media files now.
unfortunaly the office hub is not visable by this procedure.
But i think we are not far away do find out in very near future.

nice! thanks for this. it works.

Sweet!! Got it to work!! Thanks for the help HUMS... Now what? Is there any way to mod up a Ringtone folder? I tried putting in a WMA ringtone and added the folder but no dice... Any suggestions?

great. it works... thanx!

sorry m8 - no idea.
For the moment only copy and paste available for media data.
As every program has its own hub.

Hi all, I'm getting a little frustrated with my HTC HD7. I installed Zune, but it wouldn't recognize my phone (it keeps saying "connect device") and I changed the registry as mentioned above also but whenever I plug the phone in, nothing happens and it changed all the registry values back to what it was before. Also the computer keeps failing to install the phone. Anyone with any helpful info help please? thanks.
-on a side note, i'm running windows vista

have you checked your USB cable or your USB port on PC?

hums said:

Yes I have; I have 6 USB ports and tried all of them. My wife's iphone and my HTC HD2 connects perfectly to the computer. When I plug in the HD7 however, it takes a charge, and windows will try to install it, then says "installation failed" and thats it. I wonder if its problem with vista, with everyone that is successful at connecting their devices, anyone on vista?

What is the point to copy media files to your phone via rather complicated way if you can do it simply by the Zune?

Not that simple

Sorry but really is not that simple with zune or may be we the users can not understand how to copy folders with zune so can you tell us how simple it is .

OK. Lets split it to two issues:
1. you want to copy media files (Music, video, photos) to and from your phone
Use mouse and drag and drop what you want to sync with your phone. Its so simple.
2. you want to copy any other types of files to and from your phone
Its pointless, because files will NOT be vissible to WP7 and if you want to move files from A to B, than use what is more appropriate and designed for this purpose, like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive#Uses

I wanted to try this method because zune was in no way connecting to my hd7. I found the problem though. its my operating system. i plugged it into my laptop running windows 7 and it connected perfectly.

Did the required registry edits but unable to view any folders inside the Storage device on the computer, both computer & zune detects the phone though. Need to transfer a .cab file for installation of Satguide.

Would be great, except for the fact that wp7 doesn't use .cab files, only .xap files.
