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 ?

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.

I just flashed my Kaiser to Dutty and as a result it's wiped my Onenote Mobile notes (no great surprise there).
Before I flashed, I took a Sprite Backup. Does anyone know where the actual "notes" live? Is in a directory or registry entry somewhere? I'd like to restore them if possible. I have searched XDA Devs, but there's nothing I can see explaining this.
Thanks in advance...
\Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile.
I've been looking for a way to move them to another folder but I cannot find it.
Ta,
Dave
Thank You!
Thanks very much for this solution. I copied from the backup and I can see all my notes again.
You just saved me a lot of frustration
I love this forum. Every time I have some obscure question, someone has already asked it and, usually, someone else has answered it perfectly!
Thank you!
amazing
Amazing, I was asking myself this same question this afternoon on the way to school. You guys are amazing!
Thank you! Been flashing new ROMs and needed to back up my notes... this forum rocks!
one note 2010
dear all
one notes stores in local device memory instead of storage card. any solution to store the one notes 2010 files in storage cards. Please help me
just navigate to \Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile... highlight the "OneNote Mobile" folder, select menu edit, copy...then navigate to your storage card...place it anywhere you want it by hitting menu, edit, paste. Now they will be on your storage card for future retrival

But how to make OneNote store to SD?
Haven't figured that out yet either...still working
I think it's Pocket Mechanic that has the option to move applications to run from storage card...I've successfully moved most everything I've tried with it. Has anyone tried 'moving' folder to storage card with this app? I'm not sure how it works...if it leaves a shortcut behind pointing to new location on card maybe? I use OneNote for work, and can't afford to screw it up and have down time trying to fix, so wondering if anyone has tried that route yet?
UPDATE: Tried above method, and it did not work. Has anyone else found a feasible way to do this yet? With it storing audio recordings in .wav format, it's basically not usable without being able to store to storage card. I run out of memory in less than one minute.
The frustration continues
Hi everybody,
I have been grappling with this damned issue with OneNote 2007 on my HD2 forever. It’d be nice if some of the top dogs here at the XDA took a minute or two out of their busy schedules to fix us up with a way to force OneNote to SD card. I mean come on people, don’t you leave us at the mercy of windows unpredictable array of hangs, crashes and total system annihilations, give us a way out.
I have personally wormed around the registry and found a way for that whole attachment thing JVolger. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>OneNote Mobile>12.0.
Once there edit the attachments String value with your favorite registry editor and change the string entry with the address of the folder where you like one note to save your attachments.
Now if someone could figure out a way to force one note to save to the SD entirely, I would be one happy man!!
does anyone know how to do this? i guess normally with windows mobile and active sync it syncs files to "my documents" folder on the device, which is organized in a practical way with all of the folders you'd need to organize all of your files but with the onboard storage space you'd be lucky to be able to store a small ammount of music. I guess i have around 100mb of storage on my phone and 8gigs on my microsd card which i'd rather use for syncing files. i tried cutting and pasting the documents folder on my phone to my card, but active sync just recreates this folder on my phone and won't let me sync any file(s) larger than the small size that is allowed on my phone. anyone know how to get active sync to sync files to a folder on your memory card? thanks. btw, if it matters i have a tilt with the shipped rom.
Personally all I do is open "my mobile device" in My Computer select the right folder I want to store to on the memory card and simply drag and drop
you can use a tool named "mobsync".
i think it would fit perfect to your needs.
The newest Version of mobsync is commercial, but you can find older versions on the internet, which are freeware.
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?

Advanced Configuration Tool
This setting (and loads more) can be changed in 'Advanced Configuration Tool' available on these forums. Works fine on my X1.
I started this thread quite sometime ago.. although it was for my deceased mini, but the concept is the same and i'm still using it now... hope this is what u r looking for...

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.
I know that some software definitely can run from the memory card. What I mean is not like: when you install the software, the device asks you to choose the location (install to device of memory card), then you choose the memory card. No, I dont mean that. What I want to say is: for some programs, when installing them, you choose the location to install is the device, then go to the Program Files folder in the device, copy the folder of that program to memory card, uninstall the program. Now you can run the program from the .exe file in the folder you've just copied to Memory card (or make a short cut and copy to the Start up folder in Window). Some programs allow you to do that (I know most of the games for example), and some are just not.
So, that would be perfect if we know which programs can be like that, then we can save memory of the device (and hopefully our Kaiser can run faster, I'm not sure about that, just guessing). Of course the answer will be: come on, just try it dude! But, if some of us here already know which program can allow that, we can save time of others. So just post the program you know to this thread, I'll try to make a list updated regularly for everyone, and hopefully the running folders for those programs also ...
I'm not sure if there was a thread like this previously. I tried to search and there're something related to, but not dedicated to. So if you know about a thread doing exactly what I'm doing here, just tell me (and Mod) to delete it.
I've managed it fine with Prince of Persia HD
I don't get why you wouldn't install to the card in the first place? If your method works, it means that the installer hasn't put anything outside of the program's folder apart from the shortcut and uninstaller entry, so it's not like you'd save anything by moving and uninstalling. For those where it doesn't work, there HAVE been some things stored in other locations but they are required for the program to work and uninstalling removed them - if you install to storage card those things will still be on the internal memory but it's usually a small footprint, and at least you'll be able to use the program...
Some apps install everything to the device whether you like it or not even if the bulk of the stuff will work happily on the card.

I used to think if we install to meomory card it also put something outside, but I guess you right! Anyway, it is a good way to save time too if you flash ROM quite often, that you can just plug the memory card and run the program ...
Hello, I have got a question. When I receive photos via BT I can, without any problems find them in file explorer. But how can I move them in such a way, to be able to see them in photo gallery in Touchflow?
Regards, fck.
move to Internal Storage/My Documents/My Pictures
Obvious really isn't it?!?!
Obvious as hell. The point is, in my case it's not working.
Regards, fck.
May I ask which ROM do you use? as this can be ROM dependent
May I suggest a couple of programs that may help
1) HTC4_Inbox A program that saves BT transferred files to storage card Start -> Settings -> Connections -> OBEX Inbox to choose where u want to recieve files.
2) Advance Config 3.3 a useful tool that allows you to specify the mapping of folders like;
My Documents
My Videos
Etc
I am using the Aztor x2 Ultimate. I am familiar to Advanced config application, I am using it for battery saving features. The problem is, why no photos are beeing displayed in the photo album although they are in correct location.
Hi,
All i'm doing is copying images to my \\internal storage\my documents\my pictures and they always appear right away in Tf3d.
What is the path you have for your images?
