Yes you can, you'll have to move the \program files\Navigator folder to storage card, then, use any good registry editor to search for the string 'tomtom' and correct all the paths beneath, including the path for the dedicated button.
One last reminder, my advice is to leave this one in its original location: tomtom\tttoday.dll
I swaped it on mine and its working ok... so far

sorry to drag up an old post, does this work with tomtom 6?
going to try it later on.
Thanks
Ben
Yes, just copy everything to the memory card and remake your short-cuts for the start menu.
thanks will give this a try and post back if i have any problems.
all moved over fine, but found that my today screen plugin for tom tom is missing, the tttoday.dll is still in \tomtom but cant find it in the today items options.
Is there somewhere in the registry that looks for today plugins so i can re-register it?
thanks
Ben
am i being dim
Surely the easiest way is to uninstall and reinstall - or is that too simple?
I always keep my tomtom install cab files on my memory stick - just in case i'm hit with a hard reset situation
that is an option, just wanted to see if i could get it back without that as I just spent ages installing poi's and confiuring all my settings.
can live without it for now until my next hard reset heh
Thanks anyway.
i think i found the problem,
can someone with tomtom 6 please post whats in their key here..
if indeed there is a "tom tom" item listed
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items
Thanks
Today I have installed 3 WM6 Roms:
- Vijay's
- Infidel's
- Midget's
All 3 are good, whith differences in apps and as far as I remember Infidel's has MMS installed (where can I find the CAB?).
Once major concern that I have is that the Extended ROM is not hidden anymore and therefore all my attachment in the emails go to 'Storage' rather than to the SD card (='Storage Card'). All 3 ROMs have this issue and with attachments of about 10MB each (all PPTs). I will run into a major issue real quick... (say after 1 email...?)
Having access to the 10MB Extended Storage is a nice to have, but how can I save my attachments on the storage card? Is there a registry tweak?
All help highly appreciated.
Having said this... The ROMs are all great. Thanks for all the hard work and sharing these dewdrops of technology with us...!
-Ireneus
ill try and find a solutions sood, btw mine has mms
Sorry Mate
Midget,
Sorry about that... I have been installing too many ROMS today..
Do you have the CAB for MMS?
Thanks,
Ireneus
no, it was integrated already, ill try and stick it in a cab when i get time
I didnt see a phone lockup issue in WM5 AKU 3.5... Also email synchonising tries to save the attachment by default into ext rom eh? I never had any such problem with Infidels ROM. Try again.
Also this phone lockup issue is only in Crossbow. Just set a password and let it ask you after a lot of hours.
btw if you decide to throw away your device, just as a second thought send it to me. XD
I test all the previous trick and it did not work
I think every kind of memory is shown as a storage so you will be able to encrypt it
Outlook is the only application in which you can not select where to store files.
If you change the path in the registry , WM6 will create another storage called "STORAGE CARD2" pointing on extended rom
Guys,the way for to hide the visibility of "Storage" (ExtROM on WM5)directory..???

Really dude, stop pretending, I know your a fool, you know your a fool, we all know your a fool. the sooner you stop posting the better.
just FYI nuclear <=> Infidel.
what is the reg tweek for 3.5 . as every time i reset windows name the memory card (storagecard 2. )
here is how to move your mails and attachments around:
You can free up even more memory on your phone by moving all of your downloaded mail and attachments to your Storage Card.
Step 1.
Using the file manager in activesync, create the following folders on your Storage Card.
\MAPI
\MAPI\ATTACHMENTS
(You can actually name them whatever you want, "Inbox" for example.)
Step 2. Now browse to \Windows\Messaging (SmartPhone) or \Windows\MAPI (PocketPC)
If you want to save all of your existing mail, move everything in this directory to the new ones on your Storage Card.
Step 3. Now fire up your registry editor and navigate to the following.
[ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI ]
Then create the following keys.
"AttachPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments
"PropertyPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI
Step 4. Reboot your phone and then goto your inbox. If you can see all of your mail then mission accomplished. Double check your attachments as well.
found on:
http://www.tleone.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=61&Itemid=59
I do a test with
"AttachPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments
"PropertyPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\MAPI
and with : (syntax on msdn)
"AttachPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\\MAPI\\Attachments
"PropertyPath" (Value)= \Storage Card\\MAPI
did not work
Tried but failed...
I tried this as well, but no success... anyone got this to work?
I created 2 String Values in my Registry directly under MAPI... I assume that is what is meant by the instructions?
Thanks,
-Ireneus

If you use the Today Messaging Plugin, I don't think these hacks work, see explanation at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...can_store_your_activesyn&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Cheers,
Steve.
I think that is a tweak in SKtools that you can move the inbox to any storage card.
I applied the tweak and see the folder Inbox.xxx inside the "storage card", although inside the Mail's Storage setting (option) you may still see it pointing to "storage". [Note the difference between "storage" (created after unhiding the ext rom) and "storage card".]
Regarding the naming of "storage card2", I got rid of it by turning off the phone, take out the card, restart, reinsert the card => the naming is back to "storage card". [Note: this is not a unique issue of WM6!]
Attachements forever stick on Storage

Hi,
You little misunderstood me in the other thread.
So I decided to attach this little program. Try yourself.
Install:
-------
- unzip pr.zip
- copy pr.exe to Universal's \Windows\StartUp directory
- tap on pr.exe. You should see a Ready message in a messagebox
- Enable Messaging today plugin in Start/Settings/Today/Items tab
Now send yourself a message with an attachment.
First try with small attachments. ( 50 - 100 KB ), than you can try bigger ones.
Your attachments should be in :
\Storage Card\Inbox.mst29833559.4051713536\Mail Attachments
Check file sizes.
Warning! You mustn't go to Messaging app's tools/Options/Storage tab.
If you press OK in this tab your attachments will be again on Extended ROM.
Now try soft reset. And again send yourself a test message with attachment.
Report your experiences here.
Storage issues
The reason many of the WM6 ROM shows the extened ROM is that there is a broken module in them! I have created a new WM6 for JasJar's and corrected this issue, mine has the Extended ROM hidden as it should be, and can be unlocked via software. You can use my version it can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1134781#post1134781
It will resolve your mail issue...
Take care,

That's OK, but Laurentius26 is using Helmi 1.1.
Extended ROM is also hidden by default in this version.
I think Laurentius26 would like to see a solution to store attachements on Storage Card while Extended ROM is visible, after unhiding.
That was the reason why I attached that small program above.
Hmm, I'll try your version
@szilamer
Hi,
Thank you.
Sorry about previous post, last post I was teasing you a bit
Anyway I tried your little tool, and it worked before softreset,
but.... after softreset it's a complete mess.
Now I have three maps:
Extended_Rom, Storage Card (e-mail att. are there now), and Storage Card2. So I can't reach my programs installed on storage card anymore because it's changed to Storage Card2.
If I take the Storage Card out I see that the Storage Card map is still there in main memory, in this map I see the IE Cache (think that's the problem because I moved it to Storage Card with SKTools) and the email attachements. Tried to delete the map but this doesn't work because the cache is there, so I put the device in flight modus, removed your app from Windows\Startup and did a softreset.
Now I can delete the map!
Than I put the Storage Card back in and softreset again.
Everything back to normal pffff...., I'm happy again
Can you tell me what this app is doing and where to look for in the registry? It's intresting it worked before softreset!
btw. I like Jwrightmcps work to so I'm going to flash his new WM6, but it would be great if I could fix the Attachements story first, than I can make a complete backup with SPB before I flash, because there is a lot of work in this Rom already and I would like to keep it for reserve!
Cheers and thanks again,
Leo

Attachments to storage Card
Hi again,
Did forget something I see! Before I started this procedure I forgot to disable the today plugin!
So I have to do two things:
Disable today messaging,
Disable Messaging apps\tools\Storage tab.
Ok, going to give it another try, I know now how to disable it wright

Hello all,
I've written a watchdog that allows to catch a moment when the storage card is corrupted and softreset before the driver flushes FAT and root folder.
More details are here:
http://www.nixie.narod.ru/sdsentry/index-en.htm
I hope this will help you.
Any feedback is welcome.
I'm online with MSN [email protected] (also it is my email)
BTW, it doesn't matter what brand and size of the storage card is.
I have Kingston 1GB, and _it happens.
Thankyou for your work, Nikolay. It is apreciated.
I have had the software installed for a couple of days, and all is well.
Same here Nickolay, I have already posted a reply to your post at Spb Club forum.
I have your piece of code installed for few days and haven't seen the red icon, yet. Hope never will. Tnx .... as your code can save some nerves
I have tried your program but it keeps throwing up a corruption warning saying that there is an empty directory - Program Files on the storage card (which there is - I guess it is empty because I have no apps installed on the card)
Any suggestions?

Create a file in that folder...
Does anyone know the workaround with the WM5torage program?.....everytime i launch this app the SD-Sentry red icon appears saying that there is a corruption but when i check the storage card its fine.......thanks in advance
WM5torage disables the storage card for the orbit as long as it is active. During that time it is only accessible by the PC. Other programs like Tomtom do not work, because they can't find their data on the card. So does SDsentry.
Dear programmer,
your program seems to be a fine PlugIn for the XDA-Error with destroyed directorys oon the SD-Card.
Unfortunately your program is working in english devices only as it seems.
In german devices where the storage card is named "Speicherkarte" from the german WM5 your program will creating a new folder named "storage card" where it puts its check-files SdSentry.txt into each existing directory. No SdSentry.txt-file in any Dirs on the storage card.
In the dialogwindow of SdSentry the storage card is names "Speicherkarte".
The real storage card is not recogniced and protected in this way, as I assume.
Or did I something wrong?
Will you program a german version of SdSentry too?
I would be very glad about.
because of the described problem, I wrote a mail to the programer of SdSentry.
A solution was coming back immediately, how to install SdSentry im devices with other WM5-languages than english.
The program has a little bug to find the real storage card and creates instead a directory named "storage card" in the root of the device, that contains two directorys named "My Documents" and "Programme". In each of this three folders SdSentry creates a txt-file "SdSentry.txt" for verifiing the directury-structure for accessibility later.
For getting SdSentry working on german devices (analog other languages), copy following files:
\\storage card\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte(or however the name of your real storage card is)\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\My Documents\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\My Documents\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\Programme\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\Programme\SdSentry.txt
After copying the three files, you can delete the folder \\storage card with its subdirs "My Documents" and "Programme"
Since I've did this modifications, SdSentry seems to work well on my german-XDA Orbit.
Hoping it avoids more crashs of my SD-Card.
What a fun sitting in the car and loosing Navi, adresses and all tasks for today out of the HTC. May driving back to office and reinstalling the device.
I won't count how much time cause of this this worthless phone I had loosen last weeks.
Hello everyone, i have WM6 Radio Version 1.48.00.00 when i install something to SD card from my phone it installs it to main memory so i uninstall it and reinstall it pushing SD Card and still nothing i don't know if i,am doing something wrong.....please help me cause i only have 2.36MB left.
I am having an issue with my SD card as well, although different from the issue described in this thread.
The entire contents of my 8 gb Micro SD suddenly and without warning seemed to have disappeared. This occurred without warning and apparently, for no reason that I can ascertain. Settings -> Memory -> Storage Card shows 3% free space as before, however both File Explorer and Total Commander both show there to be only three folders: Program Files, Inbox, and WMDRM.
If anyone has any suggestions or fixes for this problem, I would be more than happy to hear their diagnosis.
Kind regards,
Lancealot

If you pull the card out and put it in a card reader attached to your PC/Laptop, are the contents still there? If so, then do a search for "Disappearing SD card" or something like that. Might be off in the Upgrading Forum, or the main Hermes Forum. I'd suggest doing a search on Hermes and all child forums.
There was something a while back where the contents of the SD card seemed to disappear, but they were, in actuality, still there, and I believe, showed up again after a shutdown/restart.
Maybe this is the bug that's showing its head on your device?!?!?
Hope this helps,

Hmmm, Zacch88, I really wasn't replying to your message. Sorry, I know you were the OP here, but I didn't have an answer for your question, per se, where I DID for Lancealot's.
But for your latest question, yes, there are registry settings you can use to save IE data and cookies to Storage Card. You can also do it with SK-Tools or HTCustom.
To make the reg settings yourself, follow this from the Wiki:
PocketIE Cache in storage card
Create these folders:
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\HistoryAdd the following registry keys, string data type:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files"
"Cookies"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies"
"History"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\History"
Good luck,

Thank you for the suggestion. I am still having issues with this 8gb Microsd card. I am trying to recover my files, but it still appears that the majority of them will not be recoverable to their original state. I've begun to run WM5torage on my Hermes and a program I found called Active File Recovery which should hopefully do as the name suggests..
I ran it for over 12 hours in 'Super scan' mode, however there appears to be files missing, and/or corrupt. I haven't overwritten anything so far but if anyone else could recommend any other advice, I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you and kind regards. Lancealot
1) where are the Palringo settings stored (userid/password in particular)?
2) Where are the SmartLock settings stored?
3) I am not getting my email and attachments to load to my SD card. I am using the technique (I believe) that has been well documented. I update my registry (via Sashimi) with the entries (below) and the reboot, and then do the XML provision for the email accounts (also Sashimi). The emails are getting stored on my main Storage, so I'm not downloading attachments. The folders are present on the SD card, but not getting populated.
email registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Mail Settings]
"AttachPath"="\\Storage Card\\Mail\\Attach"
"PropertyPath"="\\Storage Card\\Mail"
thanks
Theres an app out there called CeRegEditor, it allows you to backup and compare your registry.
I've used this app many times to find out where a program saves login info and other settings.
you simply back up your registry onto your computer before you log on, or do whatever changes you want to find.
Then log in to palringo, and once you've dont that, in CeRegEditor, you compare your phones registry to the one backedup
It will point out to you the differences in the two registries allowing you to find a lot of useful info.
or you could just open a reg editor on your device and search for "palringo" and go through to see if you spot your logon info.
best of luck

that worked very well for Palringo. I knew that and was apparently just being lazay. Smartlock appears to be saving settings from flash to flash now, not sure why (I started installing it to the SD card, so it must have settings stored there somewhere).
Still confused about why my email isn't saving to the SD card. I'm sure those settings used to work, but maybe that was for an earlier Windows or Manila.
