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?

Click to collapse
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 can i find a ringtone not in the default ringtone folder?

Im looking to copy a couple of ringtones over to me Tytn II. but they arent in the default ringtone folders.
Thanks
Look in either the \windows folder (not in "rings" folder) or \My Documents. These are the folders that should be found from the ringer options.
thanks
Found one of them in the Windows folder.
Will Active Sync let me search the entire folder structure, or is there an app that will let me do that? I know the file name, just have to find where!

[Q] And again, problems with AudioManager library

Hi, guys.
Does anyone have any idea, why setting sd_exclude_path_path parameter for AudioManager to prevent it from scanning a folder for music does not work?
Say I want to skip \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones folder. I create two keys in the HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config :
sd_exclude_path_path_0, (string) = \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones
sd_exclude_path_type_0, (dword) = 0
Then, I reboot, rescan the library, delete the library cash in Appdata, remove and insert my SD card, you name it, and... nothing works. My ringtones that are stored on the SD card in the said folder are still in my library.
It's annoying as hell, especially since if I use the alternative method of making those files disappear from the library: marking them "hidden" with Total Commander, they also disappear from the ringtone selection menu.
My Sense 2.5 version is 2.5.20121324.1 AudioManager version is 1.7
Would be grateful for any ideas!

Custom Ringtone

Hey What's up.
I cutted a scene from a Video (TS format), Duration 0:16 .
Then I converted it from TS to Mp3, Wav, MP4, MP4A
and transfered it to the phone. No matter what format I tried, the file doesn't open, can't change the default ringtone
because the phone does not detect it in Files Manager nor Music.
I tried to open the files followed download paths (where it stored on phone) I recieve Error(1). What to do?
Rebbot your phone, to allow the system to poll new files and list them properly, then use a file explorer (I recommend you use MiX File Explorer as it works best), and move the ringtone you've just made to this directory:
storage/emulated/MIUI/.ringtone/
(Or your internal storage directory) then open settings and it will appear quickly. Ringtones can me *.MP3, *.OGG, or even *.WAV I believe. The reason Music doesn't see it is because in the Music app, it filters out small files and short music so it doesn't clutter up if you have actual music there. Below is a screenshot of the default settings:

How to put shortcuts to files and folders on HomeScreen (background)?

How can I create shortcuts to files or folders and put them on a HomeScreen background?
When tapping on folder shortcuts they should be opened with the default file manager.
Or (in case of files) they should be opened by the corresponding default program (e.g.videoplayer for *.mp4 videos)
Is this possible at all?
