On Smarthponethoughts.com they have published a registry hack that will allow you to save e-mails and attachments on the SD card. The hack is the following: "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI. Create a new string value key called AttachPath and set the value to: \\Storage Card\\Mail\\Attachments Then, create another new string value key called PropertyPath and set its value to: \\Storage Card\\Mail "
Has anybody tried it? If yes, does it work? Apparently there are concerns that this might corrupt the file system on the card. Is this true?
Is there a way to save SMS messages and call history on the SD card?

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.
how do i set my mail and attachments to store on the memory card?
Inbox and Attachments on Storage Card
Create the folders on your Storage Card '\Storage Card\Inbox' and the subfolder '\Attachments'
Import the registry keys as below. (try Registry Workshop and you can connect to Mobile device registries from your PC and import reg files. This saves having a Registry editor installed on the phone and typing on the device). If you are entering these keys manually rather than importing a *.reg file only use single slashes for the paths. Restart your device after doing this.
>>These are String Values
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI]
"AttachPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox\\Attachments"
"PropertyPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox"
The IE & Mail SD Storage link here will do this for you... just copy the cab to the phone and run it...

Attachments
Hi there. Am using a Magician. Each time I try to attach a document, I'm told the device cannot find my Storage Card. Any sugestions?
I have tried the following twick to change the location of email and attachments to the storage card without success:
QUOTE
When reading and sending email in Pocket Outlook, emails and their attachments are saved in the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\PropertyPath = "\Storage Card\Mail" (REG_SZ string, no quotes) HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\AttachPath = "\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
Just simply delete these Registry settings (since neither is included by default).
UNQUOTE
Does anybody know how can I do this on WM6?
Since nobody posted a concrete answer in other posts, I am creating this one.
Add these settings to "HKLM\System\Inbox\Setting" under WM6.
When I download internet content, my xda only allows me to save to my doc's in my device - there is no option to save to storage card even when save as option is selected.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers
Default Download Folder
You can change it here in the registry to whatever you want:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Default storage location]
"All Files"="\\Storage Card\\Download"
Thanks for that
Can't find the H_key with reg edit - Do I need to write a new key - if so I need some help!
If you find it also annoying that word, excel and some other apps only let you save in my documents get File Dialog Changer (and gsgetfile.dll) and copy it to your Windows directory and enable it in the System Settings. A new symbol will be there and you can activate the function inside.
It's one of the best small enhancements but I haven't seen one single ROM with it. If you get it from the developers page you need to understand Chinese or be smart enough to find it ;-)
email attachments to SD card:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI]
"PropertyPath"="\Storage Card\Mail"

"History"="\Storage Card\iecache\history"
"Cookies"="\Storage Card\iecache\cookies"
"Cache"="\Storage Card\iecache"
Unshow SIM card contacts:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]

is there a way to setup my Exchange email/outlook to use the SD card?
also maybe Internet Explorer also to use SD card for cash?
sorry if this has been asked, I searched.
thanks!

Email, yes. I'm not so sure about IE (I'd use Opera Mini if I was you anyway):
#####################################################################
# How to store your Outlook email/attachments onto your Storage Card:
#####################################################################
Use something like Resco Registry editor:
Navigate to: HKLM > system > Inbox > Settings
click values
menu > new > string value
you are going to create 2 new values here:
value name: PropertyPath
value data: \Storage Card\Mail
value name: AttachPath
value data: \Storage Card\Mail\Attachments
Reset you phone and you should only have the Mail folder along with the attachments folder in mail folder on your storage card.
I then moved, with file explorer, all *.att to attachment folder and all *.mpb to Mail folder from \Windows\Messaging to \Storage Card\Mail.
of you run the 6.1 rom go to settings > IE Settings > Temporary File Paths.
if you arent running 6.1 you can probably search this forum and find the registry path that needs to be changed. you can also do it pretty easily through sktools if you have it.
Download, this.
