Go into your folder options in windows explorer and tell it to show hidden and system folders.

Also, in windows vista make sure you check the option to show operating system files.

To be honest I'm not quite sure what you are asking but I think it is that your windows folder is not showing on your pc when exploring thru AS. Have you tried to explore via my computer/mobile device? Is it the same when you do?
After you click on the Explore button and the window opens, click on: My Windows Mobile Based Device.
It should be the first item listed at the top of the explorer window.
Then you will see all the root level folders ... including \windows.
On your PC, double check your Folder Options in the Windows Control Panel. Make sure "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is unchecked.
Actually that "hide protected operating system files" only applies to the PC.
It makes no difference when you are talking about your connected Windows Mobile device.
That option is checked on my PC, and I can see and browse the Windows Mobile \windows directory just fine.
When you first click on the Explore button it launches you into the My Documents folder on the WM device. To move to the root you need to click on My Windows Mobile-Based Device.
Me either can`t see windows folder, I tried both ways, with unchecked hide protecting operating blah-blah, through AS and My Computer, and I can`t see the Windows folder on my Kaiser.

Help Please - File Explorer

Hi, I'm a noob, so please be gentle!
I want to navigate to the "windows" folder on my Diamond.
It won't show at all on File Manager on Windows Mobile Device Centre and when I try to open it on File Explorer on the Diamond through the internal storage route, it just hangs with a blank screen and the "timer".
Can anyone shed any light please, thank you.
Windows folder....
On your PC, you need to uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" or you won't be able to see the 'windows' folder on your device.
If you're using Vista, open any folder such as 'My Documents':
Organize - Folder and Search Options - View tab - uncheck the above.
Don't know about XP. It's that long since I used that operating system
It does display the "Windows" file, thank you.

Strange problem: Folders changed to .exe

Something strange happened: If I open my file explorer (GSExplorer, file explorer or bluetooth explorer) and I navigate to Internal Memory, I can't open the folders that are inside anymore.
For some reason, the extension of the folders inside have changed to .exe. When I click on them I get the error-message "My Documents.exe 'My Documents' is not a valid Pocket-PC application".
If I connect my Diamond to my pc I can browse the folders but instead of opening on the already open folder, it opens a new window. It's like the My Documents.exe file is a Shortcut to itself and can only be opened if I browse my Diamond on the pc.
The strange thing is that I haven't changed a thing since 2 months ago and the problem only occured a week ago. The ROM installed is the dutch AZTOR ROM and software I installed include Advanced Condiguration tool, GAlarm, GSFinder and Gyrator.
I don't know if it's relevant, but if I connect my diamond to the pc, there's a new option in the popup (the one where you can chose to explore the diamond, copy images to a folder, ...) It's called "Run Recycle.exe. I searched a bit more about recycle.exe and it appears to be spyware but I haven't found how to remove this spyware.
I'd really appreciate a solution to this problem and I'd also like to know how it happened. I could reload the ROM on my diamond but 2 months laters, it could happen again...
Thanks in advance.
it seems to me that you're infected with a virus... do a scan with your favorite antivirus/spyware and see how it goes.
Same thing happened to me, but in laptop not in ppc
Then it was virus, that was making an exe file in the name of the folders. But for PPC, I'm not very sure. But guess it's the same...suggest to check the system with a good antivirus....
Allright thanks.
I think the virus is gone now, but the folders are still in .exe. Can I remove this extension? I tried properties in GSFinder, but no luck...

Copy files to micro-SD via GUI - QtADB

Since I can't see this app mentioned already anywhere in this subforum I thought this might help someone out. I found an app which is a GUI front-end for ADB and allows you to copy files anywhere including /mnt/sdcard2 (the micro-SD card).
It works on Windows, Linux and MacOS and has a bunch of other features in addition to this. You need ADB working first to be able to use it.

If it works as good as it looks it should be pretty handy. Been wanting to copy things to SD2 without pulling the card..
I just use Estrong exploer and use the LAN option. Search for your pc on the wifi lan, then drop any files you want to transfer into your shared folder (windows) and you can copy and then paste them on to SD2card from estrong explorer.

I feel kinda dumb.. I use the same Estrong file explorer over the lan and have just never even thought about SDcard2. Funny, I move stuff all the time between the tablet and PC. Sheesh! Maybe I am getting old!
QtADB has WLAN option too
since today new version is available
more details You can find on our website
Using 0.7.6 and it connects fine, but it wont list any files on the tablet. Am i missing something obvious? Debugging mode is on, 'adb devices' detects it.
It works with tablets so if file list is empty i think You dont have busybox. Read faq and about on our website
I have busybox and I followed the FAQ but still no files list. I'm sure i am just missing something simple.. I have emailed you a debug.log.
Edit: Sorted it out with help from 7ymekk. Awesome app
