Ok, I've searched and searched and searched and keep coming up short.
I'd like to make shortcuts to program that I've copied from my computer to my SD card. I've tried creating shortcut with Total Commander, but the shortcut is not appearing. What am I doing wrong?
Is it also possible to move a shortcut to another folder? I've installed a game that didn't place the shortcut in the games folder and I'd like to move it to where it belongs.
It's working fine here. Maybe your version of TC os corrupted? I never use it though, I prefer Resco Explorer.
Anyway, you can make shortcuts and place the:m wherever you want. For example, sometimes games install in "Programs" not in "Games" or show no shortcuts at all. I just make a new shortcut or cut the existing one, browse to windows/start menu/programs/games and paste the shortcut there.
u dont need total commander to make a shortcut.
with windows explorer:
if u go to your program files or what ever u want to make a shortcut to and on the .exe file (if its a app) press copy. u can then have a choice to copy the .exe file or make a shortcut where ever u want.
if u want them in your programs menu, after u have copied the .exe file go to windows/startmenu/programs and paste here, also from here u can also paste it the games or any other folder.
Thank you for the quick help. I was failing to go to the windows directory, instead I was going straight to the programs directory. It works now. Your guys' help is much appreciated. Thank you again.

On your SD card, you should see a folder called 'media'. Inside that one will be one called 'audio'. Inside that one, create one called 'ringtones' and stick them there.
So it's SD Card>media>audio>ringtones
Your phone should recognize them from there.

I tried putting an MP3 in there and it didn't work. How are you "making" ringtones?
Nevermind... I'm a dolt. I couldn't find the name of the ringtone I put in there... Duh.

You can just put them in any folder and open them from an image viewer (Image Gallery, etc) and set them as your wallpaper.
AFAIK, the wallpapers are part of the ROM and cannot be changed.

Download es file explorer and es bookmark.
After both are installed you can search through your storage and long press to create a shortcut.

Hi, when you go into the "media" folder on your tab, is it possible to add more folders there then the stock photo, video, download?
Yes, its possible
And how do you do it?
Use the stock file manager "my files", or download astro file manager or efile from the market.
or use your pc/mac via usb
Using your tab only, click "my files" icon and navigate from there to wherever you want to place your new folder. Then use the context button to reveal the new folder menu, as well as rename and details options.
by the way, you might also be interested in a better media browser than the stock, use quickpic from android market.
also, if you add a blank file (usually a txt file) named .nomedia at the root of a folder which contains some files, the files won't get picked up by the media scanner and stay hidden, but will still be seen by file explorer like My Files.

Adding .nomedia to a folder should make android gallery ignore that folder. But for some reason a movie i received thru bluetooth keeps on appearing even ic i already put a "." on ghe directory, or moved to another directory or even create new folder add nomedia then move the file. Pls help me hide this file from my gallery. Im using stock ics. Thanks

Try deleting the cache from the Media Storage app and rebooting. Alternatively you can download any number of apps from Google Play to hide files and folders.
