Does anyone know how to force Pocket Word to save new docs into \Storage Card\My Documents folder?
I can make Word save the files in Storage Cards using Options, but only in root folder, although there is a 'My Documents' folder created in the card.
Quite interestingly
1. I resolved it with Excel (since it has a registry key for 'save to' folder), but I cannot with Word and Notes (because they have'nt -- or I cannot find)
2. My previous PDA (Magician) did it without any problem.
Thank in advance for the solution or any hint.

Perhaps this will do:
Go to menu/file/save as
Then:
name, map, type, location (main memory or storagecard)
The map can be selected.

Yes, thanks, I know I can save the file everywhere I want. The question is about the DEFAULT save folder.
In case of Pocket Word (and Excel and Notes) the default folder is '\My Documents'. If you choose in Options Storage Card, the default folder changes to the ROOT folder of the card. But I would like to have '\Storage Card\My documents' as the defauld save folder.
Am I clear now?
Changing the default folder for saving Notes
I'm having this exact problem with the Notes program, and I found a registry entry that SHOULD fix it, but it doesn't.
When I select the option in the Notes program in WM 6.1 on my Touch to save files to my storage card, it saves them in the root folder of the storage card, which I definitely don't want. I want it to save by default in the My Documents folder on the storage card. What's strange is that the list of files that Notes shows when I open it up includes files saved in the \Storage Card\My Documents folder, I just can't get it to save there by default. So, I poked around in the registry and found the following key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Notes\FileDest which was set to \Storage Card. I changed that to \Storage Card\My Documents and that should have done the trick. Unfortunately, that didn't work, even after a restart. Notes continues to save new files in the root directory of the storage card. In fact, it appears that the registry entry changed back to the root folder after the restart.
Anybody know why this registry change isn't doing what you would expect it to do, or how to get the change to stick through a restart?

For myself, I solved this issue the following way:
When you open the Notes program, in the upper left corner you'll see a drop-down menu to select different folders. Choose the folder you want (I chose /My Documents/Notes), and that's it! After choosing it, all the new notes that you make are saved in that folder.
Hi everybody,
Can somebody tell me how to clean the Storage Memory?
When in Start->Settings->System->Memory there are 3 tabs. In the Main tab it shows Memory: Storage and Program
My Program is OK, but my Storage is very low on free space. Dispite I have a 2GB microSD storage card inserted and installed all my programs onto it.
How can I see what programs or which files use this Storage memory (Total Capacity: 37.63MB on arte100) and how to clean this up? (Delete some files)
I have used Pocket Mechanic Pro and run all kinds off applications to free space but it doesn't seem to clear much of this internal "Storage Memory".
When you click on the bottom in the Memory screen in Start->Settings->System->Memory there's: "Find large files using storage memory". If I click here and run a search it finds some files but when I search for them in Respo Explorer it shows the files are stored on the SD card. So these can't be the files that fill up the internal "Storage Memory".
All happened because I downloaded a movieclip from the internet and when it asked me to Open it or Save As, I choose open it and my free space decreased dramatically. Is there a registry hack to change the location of where Internet Explorer saves its opening downloaded items? (I already changed the location of Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, History to the SD card),,,,later it seemed to have stored the movieclip in \My documents instead of \Storage Card\My Documents. So I need to hack the registry to change the location \My Documents into \Storage Card\My Documents,,,where is this registry key?
Please help!
PS: Does anybody know where the Windows Mobile 5 registry is located (as file level: idd -> regedit.exe????) ?

Just some tips...
You can move some DLLs with SKTools. If you have TomTom installed in storage memory - it may be move to SD card too. I have polish localization in ROM, but I don't use it - so I remove MUI files from \Windows directory (OS will not allow you to remove all of them).
There are more hacks you could use easy using SKTools.
Good luck.
try 'clear temp', google it.
install to storage card - open it from programs - select temp and cache - tap tools then clean
that should free up quite a bit of space.
I swear by it!
I just installed Clear Temp on my HTC Diamond.
Great app.
Thanks for the advice!
hey guys. i have a Samsung Code (i believe SCH-I220) with Windows Mobile 6.1...i'm wondering if there's a way to change the paths for the My Documents and Program Files folders to direct to those same folders in the Storage Card...
meaning, i copy/pasted both folders to my storage card, so i would like to delete the original folders (to free phone memory) and have all programs, ringtones, etc that are linking to program files/ or my documents/my ringtones, etc, to redirect to storage card/program files/ or storage card/my documents/my ringtones.
i've tried searching through the registry but i dont see values for the installed programs that I could change.
is this doable? if so, can you explain how to do it?
thanks!
How can I edit my cabs to change their default installation folder to SD/program files, for example, instead of their default installation folder which is usually somewhere on the device memory ?
I have got an app on my PC called WinCE Cab Manager. I used it to edit a cab file, changed the installation folder to \StorageCard\program files......but what it did was created a folder & subfolder on the device memory & named them StorageCard\program files

Should it not be "Storage Card" - with a space?
go in the CAB information properties,
edit installation directory,
add folder "Storage card" on root
add program files there or whatever.
for files then keep "install dir"
-
remember that installing on sd is not standard install.

Yes. I did that & the result was that it has created a folder on the device memory called Storage Card & installed the app in a subfolder in that folder.
It neglected the physical Storage Card completely. My objective is to change the default install dir of all my cabs so when I use XDA_UC, it automatically install them to the SD Card. What XDA_UC currently does is semi-auto install whatever I put in XDA_UC/SD, meaning that it runs the installer & asks me to select where to install the app.
oh.. And other thing is, if your card is not plugged in/initialized when UC will start, it may just create a folder Storage Card and then initialize SD as "Storage Card2" ... happened to me pretty messy.
You can make cabs which don't ask to ask:
wceload.exe "%1" /askdest
but there is no param. for default=SD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5090353&postcount=74
I reckon you need a wceload.exe replacement, or to make a mortscript to click on SD option every time for you.
Anyway advice on that link above, that SD apps usually don't need re-installing is right too
Other option would be forgot the cab. make a zip file of all files and reg file and use mortscript to import them.

It is easy to zip all my cabs in one zip file. How do I create a reg file & how do I import them with mortscript & what do I do after importing them ?

you got it wrongly, the last option was not using CAB at all.
I don't know what you are trying to do. Hard to guess. Why would you want to install on SD on the first place?
In my case, I am placing maps and files which programs can only use from SD, I have them in zip and unzipping with 7zip which accepts plenty of arguments.
You know that CAB is something like zip. You don't need to use CAB and can have the same results. And if you creating those cab yourself, why not just create zips. And you have it compressed better too.
- what is reg? file containing registry entries. if you don't have any you don't need that.
- nothing to do after
- for files:
you place all files in folders in this zip file, starting with "Storage Card"
this will check SD card, if it's present and then unzip file "file.zip"
I have this file and 7zG.exe files in ROM-windows folder, but you can change that below.
for this script to run you need mortscript.exe and 7zip programs, they are free
==
SetMessageFont(17, "Tahoma" )
While( not DirExists("\Storage Card"))
SleepMessage( 99, "Insert SD card", "SD card missing", false, DirExists("\Storage Card"))
EndWhile
RunWait("\windows\7zG.exe"," x \windows\file.zip -y")
I am not that knowledgeable technically. I do not not create Cabs. All I am trying to do is figure out a way to have the cabs I have installed silently on the SD after I flash any new ROM. I place all my cabs on Storage Card in folder XDA_UC/SD. This is not a silent installation. It needs user intervention as on each cab installation, it prompts me to select where to install to (device or SD Card). I am very humble when it comes to reg files & stuff like that. I do not know how to write them or how to use them afterwards.
I have always wanted my settings saved aswell to be applied on the next ROM installation. Thanks to NRG, his ROMs come with Settings Export app that simplifies things but exporting all settings to Storage Card in folder XDA_UC & accordingly it is applied at new ROM installation.
why do you want to install to SD card?
What pda you have? Are you low on internal memory?
I only put an app on SD if I had less then 5MB internal free.
You should use your internal memory for programs as it's faster and better protected against lost clusters and unfinished writes.
And to use SD for personal data, as pictures, mp3 as it's easier to make backup of it and access speed doesn't matter there so much.
There is no reason keeping more then 5MB free of internal memory.
A time ago I put update of opera on SD, once when it crashed, it damaged file structures and I lost half of my data on SD.
You can have silent installs to internal memory.

Other thing is, as someone wrote before, for most of the apps you don't need to install again on SD card if they are still there. Before you reflash, backup
folder \windows\Start Menu and after reflash, copy it back.
I decided to upgrade to Lollipop after holding out for awhile.... before I did though, as I knew I was going to run an RUU so I wouldn't have any problems with the OTA, I copied everything in my "storage" (all folders) to my windows laptop desktop via USB.
After upgrading, I copied it all back, making sure not to over-write anything.
What is strange is when I copied all my folders to my laptop initially, I didn't see a Download folder... which I expected to see. But after looking through the folders I had copied, I saw a folder called storage, and in that folder another called emulated, and then another called "0". In that folder I finally saw my Download folder.
I didn't think much of this at the time, however, when I look at storage from Root Explorer, I note there is a new Download folder at the "root" level of storage, but the storage/emulated/0 path is still there as well.... and following it takes me to my old Download folder....
So...to get back my original folders and contents before I upgraded to Lollipop, I have to copy over every folder in this path up 3 levels. i.e., from /storage/emulated/0/storage/emulated to /storage/emulated.
What is going on? Why is there an "0" and a "legacy" if I go up one level from /storage/emulated/??? Why did my old Download folder end up where it did?
I had this exact same thing in my mind.
Why is there such a folder ?
My phone storage was almost full and I found out this folder is taking up whole space.
I cut the storage folder and pasted it into memory card
now all my downloads go to memory card (mmc:storage/emulated/0)
+1
I have also this folder that takes a lot of internal memory space.
I experiment one thing:
I have 1 game that takes 2Gb of data and I have moved it to sdcard memory (using Android-M feature : move app from internal to sdcard )
I saw in this directory (emulated/0/ ) the 2Gb of this game. ????? So, I tryed to copy/paste this data to sdcard, in order to free internal memory space. But I loose the game's configuration.
I was thinking that moving app from internal to scard, the data of the app also move, isn't it ?
I need help to understand that ...
