So when I open my computer "mobile device" does not appear in the list of items like it does on my laptop. I have to keep right clicking on the active sync icon in the taskbar and click on explore. Additionally when I'm exploring the folders and paste files (music for example) into folders. The files do not appear after the paste, in fact I have to refresh the window before it appears. This is very annoying. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this??
Thanks,
HPlaya

Is There a way to View Full Directories Of Kaiser In Vista ????
if i connect through windows vista and try to browse the device i only see a few folders like the basics; my documents, program files, application data
but when i connect it on Windows XP Active Sync 4.5 it shows me full directries like windows> subfolders
application data>sub folders
and everything located on the device,
ahs anyone the same problem?
same thing for me trying to view the Windows folder on my Tilt using Vista. Tried changing folder options to show hidden folders, and even tried typing the address into the browser, but no luck.
I would be interested to hear a solution.
you need a special browser, such as resco file explorer.
such as the common WINDOWS folder is hidden, go to properties and uncheck "hidden" problem solved. Now your computer can see the hidden folder WINDOWS. (may take a while to load files within windows)
To answer the OP, in Vista in your view of the Kaiser folders, click on Organise, Folder Options, View Tab, select show hidden files and ALSO SELECT show system files and folders... (which is just below it)

Yes, I was going to post this too. By Default Vista assumes you are stupid and hides certain files and folders from you.

CORRECT!! I love vista I find it so much more user friendly than XP
@ unwired4
Thanks, that worked. I missed the Hide System files check box when I tried it.
Ok i was looking and i did what you say about uncheking the box of HIDE PROTECTED OPERATING SYSTEM FILES; and it shows them but, why they are in vista PROTECTED OPERATING SYSTEM FILES and on XP Just hidden Files???
also why takes so long to show them???
I would like to add my "favorites" to the today screen. I've added the kaiser tweaks and the HTC homepage plugin. No where does it allow me to put my favorites on a tab or on the menu. Does anyone have a way to do this? It would make jumping online for something so much quicker. Thanks
If you're using HTC Home, you can add shortcuts to the "launcher" tab.
Go start>settings>today then at the bottom tab shift to "HTC Home" and make sure "launcher" is checked to display.
Then from your Today screen, tap over to the "launcher" icon. You'll see two rows of little squares now (the top row is filled in). You can tap a black square and it will allow you to select which application launches from that sqaure. The little "x" allows you to unlock the squares to remove them.
If you want to add an application or shortcut not on the availabe list, sync to your PC and go into your device.....create a shortcut in the windows>start menu folder.
Hope that helps...if that's what you were looking for.
* this may of course all vary depending on which version of HTC Home you have loaded
Sounded brilliant but it didn't work. I'm working on XP and it wouldn't allow me to make a shortcut on the mobile phone (tilt). So I just copied my favorites folder into the program files folder, start menu folder, and anywhere else I thought it might show up. I got it onto the start screen, but there was nothing in it. Any other suggenstions?

It will work with XP, you may need to open two windows to do it.
From your PC (my computer) open a window for the device....surf down to Windows>Start menu.
Now go back to "my computer" again and open a second device window. Surf down to whatever directory you are looking for...then drop/drag the exe into the open start menu window.....select "create shortcut" and your done
I got it onto the start screen, but there was nothing in it. Any other suggenstions?

Not sure I follow. It may not appear until you restart the device.
You'll get it, though. Keep tinkering.
"Favorites" on your Kaiser

If I understand you correctly, I think what you want is to be able to open your Internet Explorer Favorites quickly and easily on your Kaiser. If that's the case, what you need to do is check the "Favorites" box in ActiveSync - that will port all your favorites to your mobile device - then when you open Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE), all your favorites are available from there.
I'm fairly new here and I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but here goes.
One minor thorn in my side has been the fact that I couldn't explore the windows folder from my PC when i had it active synced (and that i can't explore it at all from my mac but that's a different complaint altogether). It won't show up in the explorer window and typing it into the address bar always brought me to the windows directory on my PC. I couldn't find anything here about it so I decided to do some experimenting on my own and found that it was actually deceptively simple. All that you have to do is create a shortcut to your windows directory and put it somewhere you can get to (my documents seems as good as any) then use that to jump into your windows folder from your PC. voilĂ .
On your PC, in windows explorer you need to go to
TOOLS -> FOLDER OPTIONS -> VIEW
and select "SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS"
then when you browse your phone, it will show you the Windows directory as well as other folders that are hidden on the phone.
even easier. good to know.
I am somehwat new and have been reading up allot on this forum and still can't figure it out.
I have a AT&T Tilt unlocked.
I am running the Mobile Device Center on a Vista pc and also tried a XP pc.
I cannot figure out how to find the /Windows directory . I made sure that the pc shows all hidden files.
Do I have to use a different software or am I doing something wrong.
Any help would be appericated. Thanks.
Honestly i wouldn't want pc to see windows directory, it takes forever to load and takes up most of my device's processing.
But if you want the pc to see it, just download resco file explorer, or whatever file explorer you like( I think total commander can do it ), tap and hold the windows folder and go to properties. Uncheck hidden then your pretty much set.
On your Vista PC disable "Hide protected operating system files"
It is in the same place as "Show hidden files and folders"
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.
