Hi
Is it possible to change the location of the folder to store temporary internet files? I'd like to store them on my storage card, can this be done?

Yes you can store your temp internet files on the Storage Card get a registry editor program and change the following keys
First, close Pocket Internet Explorer and move your "Temporary Internet Files\" folder and its subfolders from the "\Windows\" folder to the "\Storage Card\" folder.
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Content\
Change the "CachePath" value from "\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\" to "\Storage Card\Temporary Internet Files\".
Then browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\
Change the "Directory" value from "\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\" to "\Storage Card\Temporary Internet Files\".
Browse to the Path1\, Path2\, Path3\ and Path4\ subkeys.
For each of them, replace "\Windows\" with "\Storage Card\" in the "CachePath" value, make sure you keep the ending of the string.

Cool, Thanks Jason

I can't delete the files it says that memory might not be sufiecient or i may not have the permissions to delete them. How do I fix that?
What files are you unable to delete? Dont delete the files from inside the phone... Connect WM to the PC using ActiveSync, browse to the files you want to delete (you will only have to confirm deleting because the files are set read-only).
// You cant delete programs if they are running / open
Yes even then I can't delete. The files I am unable to delete are the ones in the /Windows and the /Program Files folders. It asks me to confirm whether i want to delete the read-only file..but yet after that I'm unable to delete them..it says memory is too low and/or i don't have the permissions to delete read only files, something like that.
No, the programs are not running..i cannot delete any of those files in the /Windows or the /Program Files folder.
I was unsucessful first time trying to delete these files (I have been using Resco Explorer). Maybe you have to delete the links to these files first and restart.
success
hi, i was successful in deleting all the files mentioned and making the changes necessary. It took the following steps:
Delete all you can
Reboot
Delete remaining
Reboot
Delete last few
Reboot
Check the deletions.
Also, what you might want to do is make your mail and internet explorer to save by default on your storage card.
My windows mobile live is refusing to work on this phone....any idea why? Or maybe if i could get a fresh copy of the mobile live. It somehow installs the mobile live, but doesn't uninstall the WM5 pocket msn and this might be the problemo.
would appreciate any help.
I managed to get them deleted, the test rom did not allow that. Had to upgrade to this current cingular rom to be able to remove everything.
should be a windows live messenger link here http://rapidshare.com/files/24689015/Windows_Live_for_Windows_Mobile.rar
The Internet explorer now supports Iframes with scrollbars and have Home Page... by default live search by MS.
(reg) Change IE homepage
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer ... change the value of home_0409 from file://\windows\about_0409.htm to http://www.google.com or any url/file you like
(reg) Java applications on Card
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tao\JMM ... change the value of DataPath from \Applicaton Data\Tao\intent to sometnig like \Storage Card\Java\Tao\intent AND (fil)(!!!) move the intent folder (containing rofs_target.zip) to the exact location on Storage Card

Thank you
Díkes, tohle jsem potřeboval
edit: there is no reason for deleting the stwater.. file, as it will be recreated the next time you reboot your phone, or change your wallpaper - the stwater is a kind of "image" of your wallpaper, in 2 different sizes
This is very useful
After each ROM install I come back here to delete unnecessary stuff.
Very useful in getting a few KB for more apps.
Anyone know how to change the default location of My Documents & Internet Explorer Favorites to the Storage Card?
Just trying to have everything saved to the Storage Card to make it easier between Rom changes. I've added \Storage Card\ to all the entries in the Registry that referred to My Documents and Favorites. I've tried looking around but nothing has worked.
Anyone have any ideas?

Change the location of My Documents
Documents are opened in and saved to the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\Storage Card\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Try changing My Documents in HKLM\System\Explorer\Shell Folders to \Storage Card\My Documents. There are also other folders you can remap.

I did the following:
1. Create a subfolder called "My Documents" in your Storage Card folder.
2. Copy the contents of \My Documents to \Storage Card\My Documents
3. Delete \My Documents
4. Open a text editor and paste the following text into a new document: 33#"\Storage Card\My Documents"
5. Save this as "My Documents.lnk"
6. Copy this to the root of your WM6 device
There you go -- now you don't have to mess with your registry (unless you want to do more advanced stuff). NOTE: This may cause some programs to not work, so use with caution. For example, I noticed that if I changed my settings in Notes to save to Storage Card before this procedure it would no longer open. I think if I had left it as save to Main Memory it would automatically use the shortcut and store on the memory stick anyway.

Hi,
I just read this on your site:
"26. Add Your Own Album Art to Music Folders
Make sure the image you wish to use is 256x256 pixels, 96dpi and save it to your PC. Rename the image to the following format: ~hTC_Album Name.vin. Please note that the change refers also to the file extension as it will now become a vin file. Copy this file to the folder of your specific album on your Storage Card. Example: If the album is called Abba Gold, then your vin file will be ~hTC_Abba Gold.vin."
Well. This might be a stupid question, but how do I do this?? When I rename the file to ~hTC_nameofthetrack.vin it stays an .JPG file.. and when I download it and use "save as" I can only choose between saving it as an .JPG or an .BMP file.. even when I just try saving it as ~hTC_filename.vin it becomes an .JPG with .vin at the end of the trackname..
I would really like to know and this probably is an easy answer so I hope someone can help me with this
are you renaming from the computer or the phone?
if you are doing it via the computer make sure that you have shown filename extensions enabled or it will not change the type of file
and how do I enable that?
[windows helpdesk mode]
Open explorer, goto tools, Folder options
Select the view tab
Under files and folders unselect following:
hide extensions for known file types
[/windows helpdesk mode]
I couldn't get this working no matter what I tried, gave up in the end....
even once the files were renamed and everything, the images wouldn't show....
i have create the folder '\Storage Card\XDA_UC'
now, i dont know how to do with the following instructions.
can someone guide me with this?

XDA_UC installation tips are generally similar as listed here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3611692
I made some modifications so that the sequence of the installation will be like this:
My.tsk file from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
and if not present Cook.tsk from Windows Folder.
import *wifi*.*xml and *mail*.*xml provisional registry settings for WiFi and Email setup.
Copy Over User Files.
Check for "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root" if present, Disable Manila from Homescreen then Copy files from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root" to the root of the device, Then checking for existence of wallpaper_TF3D.png or wallpaper_TF3D.jpg in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" and adding that to
[HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeBackgroundPath"="\\Windows\\wallpaper_TF3D.jp g"
Import registry files from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows\manila.reg" If present
Re-enable Manila on Homescreen and redraw it. Now also works for the Sense 2.1 and up versions.
.xdas files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
Silently run Legacy SDConfig.txt from Storage Card
(If your using RunCC.exe or Autorun you do not need to point to or use SDAutorun.exe or SDConfig.txt) Thanks to RoryB
Commands for SDConfig.txt can be found here....
.cab files in "\Storage Card\autoinstall"
This makes it compatible with your storage card's setup for Tom's Autoinstall.
.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Storage", These cab files will be tempted to install to Storage Location. Not recommend using this method. Please use Manual instead.
.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Manual",These cab files will start with Full User interaction capabilities to choose where to install to.
.reg files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
.xml files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
.mscr files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
.cer files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
Create Shortcuts and more from Registry Keys
More information here....
Copy over welcomehead.192.01.png & welcomehead.192.02.png present in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" to the Windows folder.
Copy over welcomehead.96.01.png & welcomehead.96.02.png present in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" to the Windows folder.
Actually everything is copied over from Copy2Root folder to root, but the above Splashcreens get their file atributes removed before this happens.
Add native support for .mscr, .mortrun, .xda, xdai, xdas & .xdaz files
Well, I hope this is good enough to explain everything. Good luck with setting up your XDA_UC!

Try this one:

It's for Energy customized rom, but it will help you understand how xda_uc works.
Just a few tips:
-You can put all the .cab files of programs you want to install in XDA_UC folder, as well as all the .reg files
- Create the folder Copy2Root inside XDA_UC folder. Inside Copy2Root folder, put all the files and folders you want to be copied to their respective places in the phone memory. Use the same path that the original files have, including folders.
For instance, inside Copy2Root I have the folder "Windows" and inside "Windows" I have the folder "Rings" with all the sounds I want to restore at each hard reset.
Another example: if you want to copy something to the root of you phone's memory, just put the file in the Copy2Root folder. If you want to copy a file to the Windows folder, create the folder Windows in Copy2Root folder and inside it put the file you want to copy.
thanks for reply

then no need to use these software?
* DoeDoe's SDConfig.txt creator.
* .reg -> xml conversion tool
* XML Notepad 2007
* CeRegEditor (can find registry changes)
* DaveShaw's Folder Copy utility
* Registry capture Logger
and, is that i need to locate those reg file from where the application folder in the device then straight away copy them to XDA_UC folder?
Stick with the basics, for now.
Here's what I do: I customize the phone to my needs in every option needed. Then, I grab a registry editor, and search for the entries that correspond to the changes I've made.
Once I find them, I export that registry key to the XDA_UC folder as a .reg file. Then I repeat for all the entries that matter to me.
When hard resetting, XDA_UC will enter those registry files into the wm registry to activate your options.
So, in teory, you will only need a registry editor.
ok...
i will try
thanks again..
Hi, We have installed ES File Explorer on our Android tablet and we have cataloged a remote server (10.10.19.45). I am able to see the files on this server from the tablet.
On a different desktop project, I have used a java.nio class file to copy files from a local folder on the desktop to the same remote server and it has been working fine. I tried to use the same java class to copy a file from the Android /sdcard/Download directory to the remote server and it will not create the file on the remote server. I tried specifying
File DestinationFile = new File("//10.10.19.45/sandbox/result.txt"); AND
File DestinationFile = new File("smb://10.10.19.45/sandbox/result.txt");
but neither one works. I keep getting the error "IOException: No such File or Directory". The first option worked for my regular desktop Java application. Is there anyway I can copy files from my sdcard/download directory to the samba directory I have catalogued on my Android? Thanks.
