When I connect my TP2 via usb, and wait for Active Sync to finish with its sync, I then click on "explore".
I've made sure that all the options (Tools--Folder Options--click on the View tab) are checked to show all files (including hidden system files).
I still can't see some folders.
On a previous post, it mentions modifying the Internet Tab by modifying an .xml page. That page refers to a folder where icons are stored, and I can't seem to find that folder.
\windows\HTC\Assets\
Does anyone know how to make this visible, or am I looking in the wrong spot?

I don't know where they came from (probably a side-effect of a ROM install) but I suddenly find myself with a bunch of Internet Push links that I don't want. Looked around the web and can find info on how to edit/remove these links. Lots of people seem to have advice on disabling Push Internet, but that is the last thing I want.
How do you get rid of of Push Internet link once it's created? Can't find anything in registry or a Manila folder in Application Data.
Thanks!
bump. Someone must know.
Bump....I'm really searching for this too !!

I'm too new to post links but look at thread number 548770 and see if that solves your problem.

Unfortunately on Sprint devices (or at least on mine) there is no \Application Data\Manila\InternetPortal-en-us.xml file to edit In fact the \Application Data\Manila\ folder doesn't even exist, and that particular xml file is nowhere to be found on the entire device (doing a search with Resco Explorer, and making sure I have Hide Hidden Files unchecked)
When you are on the internet tab there should be a 'Menu' softkey. In there is a remove option to remove them I think.
Unfortunately no. I have a Bookmarks softkey and a Browser softkey. Neither brings up a menu.
Hi everyone,
sorry to bother you with such a beginner question but I'm trying to access /windows directory from my computer when my device is connected to it but I can't find it.
First, I thought we can't get to it and looked for an app to get the access but I don't find anything...
So, do you know a way to access /windows directory from your computer?
Thank you a lot!
A Windows setting on your PC is hiding certain folders/files, and that extends to your phone when viewing the phone from the PC.
On your PC, in Windows Explorer or similar screen where you can see files and folders, click on Organize>Folder Options>View. Exactly where this is and what it's called depends on which version of Windows you have. Then select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" and unselect "Hide protected operating system folders".
I am not certain how exactly it happened. I am guessing that it has something to do with my deleting a backup folder while my Tilt 2 was connected via Active Sync. However, all of the sub-folders in My Documents (save for Templates, Ringtones and Wallpapers) seem to have been deleted off of my device. I did not have anything in those folders since I primarily use my storage card, but I would like to put those folders back. I added the "My Ringtones" folder myself, and threw a few sound files in their to see if the device would find the folder and it did so I do not believe that any damage to the registry has been done. I just need the exact names of all the sub-folders in My Documents to put everything back the way it was. Thanks!
Hey guys, I hooked my brand new HTC One X up to my PC after a strange picture appeared in my gallery, it looks like a system picture like part of the phones OS. Anyway its a .db ( database file ) and its called "thumbs" i do know it belongs to the data folder on the phone but theres other files within and i dont know which the " Thumbs " file resides in usually. After hooking my Sensation up to the PC also and navigating to .data > navigator > Data > htc i find that there is also a "thumbs " file in there, am i right in thinking i can just follow the same path on my One X and place the " Thumbs " file in there?? Its a brand new phone and i didnt wanna screw around with it too much without asking someone in the know first just incase i am wrong. Any help would be much appreciated thanx in advance
Oh dear
Just delete it, it's the file windows creates when it generates thumbnail images.
It sounds like your PC is set to show hidden and system files. As mattman83 said, you can just delete the file, but next time you browse to that folder from your PC Windows will recreate it.
You might also want to turn off the option to show these files in Windows Explorer. Go to My Computer, The click on the Organise menu and choose "Folder and search options". Go to the view tab and make sure "Don't show hidden files" and "Hide protected operating system files" are both selected (see screenshot).
If you want to stop Windows from creating these files in the first place, there's a good how-to guide here:

THANKYOU!!
Thanx guys to both of you, I thought I'd maybe highlighted it and moved it by mistake. I have seen these folders before so I guess your right about my system settings but I've never actually been able to view it as a picture in my gallery.
Is it possible to clear timeline in stock My file app? I have tried to select a file and delete by tapping bin icon, but this deleted that file also from original folder.
Also looking for a solution, let me know if you find out if its possible
I also would like to know
Is there a solution yet?

I've been looking for a way to clear or disable the Timeline myself with no success. Perhaps Timeline items go away only when you move the files off the device(?)...
Unfortunately the "My Files" "Timeline" content is actually controlled by another process called "Media Storage" (this process scans all the files on the device looking for pictures, music, and other content then it builds a database so the system or apps such as music players can quickly find the content, it usually runs on boot-up and can update occasionally.
The only way to clear (or temporary clear) the timeline content is to clear the "Media Storage" database, by clicking "Force stop" and "Clear data" on the Media Storage process, though if you do this it will just rescan again eventually, and if you turn it off or prevent it from scanning you can loose access to your ringtones / alarms and other system sounds , also any music files on the device as a lot of applications use this service (otherwise everything would need to scan the memory card ./ memory for files causing increased cpu overhead and device lags....)...
See screenshots.
Thanks a ton, otyg! It's not an ideal solution, but it's better than nothing. I mostly wanted to clear the Timeline data and start it over, and this does seems to do that.
Figured it out
Plug tablet into the computer. Rename the folder that you don't want showing up with a '.' in front of it. I.e. "Adult" to ".Adult".
Then install Astro File manager, change the settings so that you can view hidden folders. And then you can still access the folder from the tablet, but will not show up in Timeline or the stock file manager.

you might also be-able to add a .nomedia file to the folder too this is supposed to prevent the media scanner from scanning the folder contents, though it doesn't work on all devices and I haven't tested it with timeline. or samsung yet., thought I would throw it out there if anyone wants to test.
At this time it's still unclear if you can hide items or completely remove the from the recent items list, with out moving every little file and or download and the list will only repopulate as you continue to download or add files. Just tap the added date above each subsection and collapse each individual section. While this isn't a permanent fix and the list will repopulate once you reopen the My Files app, it's only a minor inconvenience for someone who uses the app occasionally.
I've got files stored under sd card, folder, folder, .folder, folder, photo media scanner use to not see it and doesn't see it on my s5 but my tab 4 sees them if I click don't show hidden files it don't
