Word docs default save place

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 to change camera folder in WM6?

Hi there,Evertime I take a picture, my hermes always save the picture to
\Storage Card\My Doctments\
If I would like to specified the destination folder to
\Storage Card\My Doctments\My Pictures
What should I do?
I edited my registry settings under
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\image\SaveFolder_0804
or
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\image\P1\SaveFolder
but it was no use.

I'm not having that issue. My pics are saved to Storage Card/My Documents/My Pictures with no problem. That's weird.

hmm, interresting, never had this before... try remove card from phone, run camera application, insert card and wait for message window with yes/no choice - uif you want to save your newly taken images to card insted of phone memory. Before that remove My Documents folder on card. Hope it help.

I had something like that here. It says if i want to save do storage card, but it still saves in the main memory. I just can't save to storage card, even if i say "yes" to the option "save in the memory card". Any answer for it?

This worked for me;
Hi, I had almost the same problem as described.
This is how i solved my issue:
1. Download MyMobiler (w/ MExplorer.exe) to do this a lot easier with touch mobiles.
2. Download Advanced Configuration Tool v.3.3 to change the directing folder to DCIM (default), just to be sure...
3. Download PHM RegEdit to tweak Windows Mobile Registry.
4. Use Advanced Configuration Tool v.3.3. Go to the Camera section and change "Save location:" to "DCIM (default)". It might already be correct. But just to make sure it is not wrong set.
5. Use PHM RegEdit to change all the "SaveFolder"-keys under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\...
The following Registry folders contain save paths:
Image, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, P10, Video
The "Image" folder contains two keys with languagecodes. The codes are in hexadecimal.
GpsSaveFolder_<languagecode> (languagecode = 0809 hex for English UK)
SaveFolder_<languagecode>
In all the keys you should change the value to your preferred destination. For instance this value was my choice:
\Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA\
Remember the backslashes! With MyMobiler it is easy to copy and paste the value fast and simple throughout the Registry keys... In case you are not sure which folderpath you should use. Use the MExplorer.exe that followed the MYMobiler app. On the right-pane you can browse the mobile just how it looks like for Windows Mobile OS. Theres no drive destinations...
Local memory could be like:
\My Documents\DCIM\100MEDIA\
6. Now for the keydifference that did the trick; Softreset your phone. When WM is up and running, take out the memorycard and start Camera app. Insert memorycard again. You might have to do it a couple of times before it works. But it worked for me in the end. Thanks to all tips and tricks!

WM 6.1 - changing settings for Pictures/Music to SD Card?

How do you make the photos and Music settings to always look at the SD card path? right now photos are blank and I have to pic folders and go to the SD folders manually.
thanks!

This has been a topic discussed several times. It has to do with the chome.dll file stored in the /windows directory. For some reason it only maps to the /my documents/my pictures and the storage card/pictures folders (called storage card/DCIM). So the only work around, although a poor one, is to create a folder in the main root of your storage called "pictures" ( and not "my pictures") . Then place your pics there and they will show up on the sliding panel on your home screen. You will also be able to acces them from there. The only thing this will not do is send all of the pics you've taken from your camera to that directory. It will still put them in /storage card/my pictures (assuming you are using your storage card for puting your photos to) so you will still have to manually move those pics to the /storage card/pictures directory when you finish taking the pics.

Wow it's amazing what one can stumble upon when they are not looking. I had the same problem just never really searched out the issue. I tried what you suggested and works like a charm! Thanks pudgedaddy!

You can also create a folder called "DCIM" and it will detect the pictures on there as well.

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.

[Problem] WM6.5 Titanium "Pictures" tab

I am trying to specify the path to where my photos are "\internal storage\my documents\my pictures" however the titanium pictures menu points to the phone storage and NOT the 4GB.
Does anyone know a way to change this? I've used the advanceconfig software to change the default location to the 4GB but this had no effect.
Thanks in advance!

I dont like this solution but it works:
Move the My Pictures folder to the root of the Internal Storage and call it pictures

So, the next issue is, how do I get the default storage location for the camera changed to the new pictures folder ? ?

Use Advanced Tool to move picture & camera location.

Thanks, but I tried already and the camera still saves in the default /internalstorage/my documents/my pictures/ folder...
I think I am doing that correct - I changed the "default location for pictures..."

@diselboy:
Have you changed ( Camera / Save Location ) with ( location for pictures ) and soft - reset ?

Hey, thanks for your help.
Under the advance-config software / Camera, it only gives me the option to select either;
1. My Pictures
2. DCIM (default)
I've tried both with the location "Default location for image files" set to the new folder of \internalstorage\Pictures
I've no idea what else to change. I even looked through the registry and had no luck there either
Ideally, I would prefer the titanium today screen to show the photos from My Documents/Pictures...
