how to access windows folder in Vista device center 6.1
in active sync 4.5 it was easy

Open Windows Explorer. Press ALT. You'll see a menu. Press Tools -> Folder Options. Go to the View tab. Uncheck Hide protected operating system files and also chose Show hidden files and folders. Press OK.
Now you'll be able to see the Windows folder on your PDA.

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.

Samsung theme store icon hack - Use icon only from any theme

Samsung theme added a new option in nougat for note 5 and other devices to change only icons. The problem is that icon library is quite limited. Although some themes have great icons but do let you apply icons alone (not so thoughtful of Samsung).
This method here let you use any samsung theme icon without applying that theme, [video guide link]
First download the theme which icon is bewildering your eyes or whatever. Note theme name. (lets suppose its metallic)
Now download a icon pack [as a dummy] in theme store that you would (likely) never use. Note icon pack name.(lets say neon)
Download x-plorer file browser from playstore. Allow root access.
In the left pane goto
/data/app/
and search for the folder
metallic________.appicon-1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
long press and select add to favorite.
and search for the folder
metallic________.theme-1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
long press and select add to favorite.
and search for the folder
neon________.appicon-1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
long press and select add to favorite.
Now we are all set. these folder will be at the bottom for ease of work.

Problems finding some downloaded files

I'm having a problem finding some files that I download from Google search. If I perform a download of one of these files and try to view it with Root Explorer or other file managers it does not show up in the internal storage Downloads folder. However if I open up the default "Files" application and click the Downloads link (three lines) I can see the files. If, using the same, "Files" application I instead click on "moto x4" and navigate to the downloads folder I can not see the files.
Where is the "Downloads" link in the "Files" application pointing? I've searched both internal and external storage from my PC and I can't find the downloaded file, by name, anywhere. I can copy it using the "Files" app to the internal storage "Downloads" folder but I don't know the location from which I'm copying.
Any help would be lovely. Thank you!

I don't have a Moto but on my phone, the first time you use the application you have to click on the three dot menu, upper right corner, and click "show internal storage".

2 Download Folder locations?

I'm using LO 14.1 and experience a strange problem.
When I navigate to Files -> Menu -> Downloads I only see some of my older downloaded files but not files that I recently saved via Chrome and oder Apps. In addition to that it is not possible to create new folders in that location in Files App.
My currently saved files appear when I go to Files -> Menu -> Moto G2 2014 -> Downloads. In Total Commander I see the the full path, that is /storage/emulated/0/Downloads.
No big issue for me but when I connect the phone via USB to a pc I can only see the old files (that I see via Files -> Menu -> Downloads on my phone) and I cannot access my recently downloaded files.
Any suggestions?
