Issue with Active Syn and getting to \Windows\Start Menu - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Every time I tempt to browse to this directory via ActiveSync or Mobile Device Center, the attempt hangs explorer and I have to disconnect the PPC, next I have to reset it as it is almost 100% non-responsive. I can browse any other directory without issue, but I need to get to Start Menu to adjust and sort the programs as the default arrangement sucks.

The \windows root dir does take forever to load, be patient especially on older PC.

BtTrayLog temporary solution

As many PDA2k users might have noticed by now, a file named BtTrayLog.txt found in the main directory on the device keeps expanding endlessly and thus eats every bit of memory you might have. There is no setting that you can change to solve this nor does deleting this file keeps it from popping back again.
I found a temporary solution and it has been working perfectly for the last few days. You can replicate my solution by following these steps:
1) Turn your Bluetooth on.
2) Start your "File Explorer" on your device and go to the main folder "My Device".
3) You will find a file named BtTrayLog.txt (when I first discovered this file it was 32 MB big!). Delete this file.
4) Close your File Explorer and wait for a few minutes.
5) Start your File Explorer again and you will find the same file again, although this time it should be very small (the smallest I could get it was 866 B only.)
6) Click and hold on it until the submenu appears and then select "Properties".
7) Check the "Read only" box and click "Ok".
Voila! The file will remain but its size will not change. The solution is a little primitive but it will spare you the effort of having to delete the file every couple of days. I list it here for the benefit of other users until CD fixes this issue in its upcoming ROM upgrade, whenever that may arrive.

lost icons in start menu

Something strange happened to my WM5, I was using deepfish and multitasking with my txt msges, then pressed the home button, and I noticed the icons on the home screen for the "previous applications opened" have became windows default icons. Sorta like the "unkown type" icons in windows. I then clicked on the start menu and discovered that all the icons in my start menu has disappeared. I did a hard reset and still no change, I was wondering if theres anyway to fix this.
Thanks a lot.
There is no way to restore default, I went ahead and purchased the cid unlock thinking that I could just update to the new wm6 rom however, after purchasing the sim/cid unlock form gsmliberty, I Realized that I was not able to connect with dashV2unlock.exe. So I dont know what to do now. At the moment, the phone will connect to my desktop however all I could do is edit the registry and browse the phone. When I connect the phone to my desktop I receive "Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. REconnect ... " I'm still curious what could have happened to begin with. I still cant access anything on the phone since all the *.lnk icons on the start menu are missing.
try using xp to update your phone. it sounds like a vista problem.
I am using XP. I tried on both my systems and still the same problem. I'm not sure but am I suppose to be able to browse and view the windows folder when I explore through my desktop ?? For some reason I can't locate the windows folder.

Use free Celetask with IE hotkey

Celetask is supercool task manager:
Include New Task, Close task, Switch Task and View Task Properties.
Start any application through command line.
CeleTask can also execute any menu command in command line.
Include Terminate Process, View Process Modules, Properties.
Tool box with full customization support. Include Power Status, Memory Status, Free Memory, Reboot System, Shutdown System, etc.
Hot Key Customization
User can assign a hot key for any command.
All this with one press the Internet button
I use Internet button to start the Celetask and I set the hotkey of Celetask to shutdown all apps with another press of Internet button. I use "8 button" to clean the ram. And that how with 3 clicks I close all aps and clean the memory
The "1" button I use for soft restart.
To use this task manager with hotkey just download the attachment end copy two files in WINDOWS folder.
I see this in Kavana new 6.1 ROM, but you can use it in all other ROMS.

No problem, and you can try CeleCmd,it's also a good software,it help me do everything (install cab,create shortcut,input reg,and so on)after cold boot,my rom is also base on CeleCmd
I try it, but nowhere i can find documentation in English .
Can you attach the CeleTask last version in English now?
this is a great proggie. i've used it to create a shortcut to soft reset. the only problem is that it asks me to confirm i want to restart the phone. there's probably a way to bypass this, but i've not figured it out.
anyone know if there's a way to use celetask to restart the phone without a confirmation message?
Yes:
Menu-->Options-->Show Alert
Just remove the check and Celetask will make everything without questions.
Now I have a question:
how to make a hotkey with Celetask to start anoother program.
I see I can add programs to tools but can connect hotkey to them
i have the opposite question littleclown...
for some reason activesync is in my celetask and i don't want it there. there's no reason for it to start at startup. at least i don't think it's necessary anyway. it fires up just fine on it's own when i plug it into the computer.
i can't seem to get it removed from the program list in celetask.
can anyone fill me in on the trick?
Fake server for Activesync
The following info comes from Aximsite
1. open the Activesync program.
2. Select Menu at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This will bring up the Options Menu. Notice the option Schedule... is greyed out? This is the all-critical option we need to get access to. But as it's disabled we can't change Activesync's default synchronisation schedule.
Ok, so how do we enable the Schedule option? Easy!!! Fool Activesync into thinking there is an Exchange Server to sync with:
1. From Activesync's Menu select Add Server Source.
2. In the following screens you can enter any old garbage. It does not matter, but just in case your unsure, just type the following in the indicated boxes:
Server Address: fake
Tap Next
User name: fake
Password: fake
Domain: fake
(Select save password or going into the Advanced menu makes no difference, so no need to bother).
Next
Untick all of the 'Data you want to synchronise' options
Tap Finish
3. Ok, we're done creating the server. You should now see in Activesync's main screen your normal Activesync connection(s), and a new connection called Exchange Server.
4. Go back into the Menu, and lo and behold the Schedule option is now enabled! Go ahead and tap it!
5. You will see that both options in the Schedule screen are set to Every X Minutes.
6. Using the drop downs, change both the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes to Manually.
7. Press the OK button.
Now
1. Go back into Activesync's Menu, then Tap Options.
2. Highlight Exchange Server, then tap Delete. A warning message will appear about removing files etc, but as you have no files associated with the fake Exchange Server, it's nothing to worry about - just tap Ok.
3. The list will now only show your remaining PC Sync connection(s).
I did and Activesync stop starting automatically, however after you connect with your PC you need to close Activesync with Celetask
thanks!
unfortunately it didn't work.
i'm trying something else. will report back.

How to remove BT total broadband setup from startup ?

- Hi. I bought recently an s620 locked on BT. I unlocked it using an internet
service. My problem is that a "BT Set Up" pops up when I turn on the phone and
it sends an sms to BT, trying to get the total broadband setup.
How can I stop it ? thanks

2 options hard-reset as you don't need the BT software on there, the better option follow this guide UPGRADE to 6.1 with PICS & LINKS
Or if you really want to keep the BT Bloatware that uses up RAM and slows down the phone then here you go:
Go into File Explorer (Start > File Explorer) press the Up command (left soft key) then navigate to 'Program Files' then to 'BTNetworks' in the folder there is an app called "HandsetSetupWizard" rename the file by pressing the right soft key > edit > rename. Rename it to something like 'HandsetSetupWizard.old" this will stop it running on boot up.

The problem solved very easily after all. Just removed the BTSetupWM6 from the programm files.

Did MS block access to SYSTEM folder??

Forgive me if this has already been found/fixed/forgotten, but it's been a while since I've actually even tried it. In File Explorer, when tapping on my trusty old Local Disk C shortcut nothing happens anymore ☹ I don't know if it's been blocked or not, but it's been at least 3 or 4 builds since I've even desired going into the system folder. Even my AOW Shortcuts aren't anymore, but instead they give an error saying the directory couldn't be found and would I like to delete the shortcut. Maybe MS finally removed the AoW bits from the recent builds, but that doesn't explain why the Local Disk C shortcut does nothing.
I'm running the latest Insider Slow build 14342.1004.
its "blocked" since 10586.107. but you can still access all folders on pc with enabling full fs access or using sftp (with vcreg or interop tools etc)

Ahh, I figured this was the case. I don't care for the FS Access thing on pc. Last time I enabled that I could *barely* get my phone to connect to the pc. On average it took 15 minutes to connect, but eventually it stopped altogether. I had to hard reset to fix it.
yep, same here. connectes fine but takes ages to appear in the explorer. but in that case you could use sftp access. simply get the interop tools and activate it (you might need to reset the ndtksvc.dll manually, vcreg has a button for it though iirc), read the tutorials about it. you need the old android bridge tools to get the private key (and convert it with puttygen to use it with pageant) and keep it paired to be able to connect with winscp for example
Last .1004 fast ring build connect my phone with full mtp acces in less 1 minute.
