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!

Hello,
I've bought a storage SD card.
I wish to move the "My documents" folder to this card.
I 've created a "My documents" folder on the SD card, and moved the files BUT the new folder does not replace the original one, and exploring My Pocket PC/My documents leads me to the empty old folder.
Is there a way to improve ?
More generally, what's the best practices when equiped with a SD Card ?
Thanks,
Jean-Jacques
You can create a shortcut on the root of your device's memory ( \ ) and make that shortcut point to "\Storage card\My Documents"
Most programs require you to point the path to your SD card yourself under options. i.e. Notes, you'll need to choose Tools>Options and pick "save to storage card". And in your storage card, make sure there's no file with name like ignore_my_doc or similar, or it will save to your SD's root instead of your 'my documents' folder.
How do you create the shortcut on \ to point to the storage card?
I have moved my documents to the storage card, but I still have an empty my documents on the \ .
Can't seem to figure out how to create the shortcut link.
In Notes, I have set it under options to point to the SD card.
Use Resco Explorer or Total Commander to create the shortcut.
Total Commander is great & its free. Get it from here (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm)
Turns out I had Total Commander and just didn't know how to make a shortcut. Figured that out.
Now I have a file My Documents.lnk in \, and a My Documents on \ that is empty (I delete it and reboot and it keeps coming back), and a file called Old My Documents in \ that only has a dir called Templates in it. I can't delete the Old dir or the Template dir, no matter how I try. (I had renamed the orignal My Documents to Old My Documents after copying the folder to the storage card).
Is this making sense? Thanks for your help.
Using Total Commander, click on the folder you want to create the shortcut for, then from the File menu, choose >>>>> then Create shortcut.. It will ask you for the destination location of the shortcut. Click ok.
I really don't know what's that Old My Documents folder.
Anyone knows a solution for this plz ? :roll:
Maybe you need a registry hack.
Thanks, I did figure out how to make the shortcut, but I just can't get rid of the old docs directory and it keeps creating a new my docs dir at \.
And although there is a shortcut in \ to \Storage Card\My Documents, the Notes don't sync with the SD card.
I have changed the option in Notes to look at \Storage Card\My Documents
Very Weird.
The built-in notes program is very dummy!
I stopped using it; because I found a much better one : PhatPad
By the way, storing notes on the storage card is really risky!
Did you hear about the well know SD card wipe problem?
It happens to a lot of people here in this forum..!
I had experienced that SD issue...but it was always backed up so it was just a pain in the arse. Once I upgraded to 2003SE, knock on my wooden head, it hasn't happened again.
I'll try the subsitute program. Thanks...this is all very strange.
PhatPad is really the best notes program ever 8)
Same Question
* bump *
Sorry about that...but I would also like to move My Documents...I'd like to put mine in 'Storage' (the built in Storage on the BA)
I've tried exporting the reg and replacing \My Documents with \Storage\My Documents...and then reimporting.
Some things now save in \Storage\My Documents...but...
* I can't get rid of the templates folder
* My Documents keeps comming back!
I have moved My Documents to the SD card.
I made the registry change pointing it to the SD card as well.
But I still get the My Documents dir coming back to the Main Memory every reset.
After reading more on this, and seeing the risks involved, I am now rethinking whether moving the docs to the storage card is such a good idea.
Malicious Microsoft?
Given the ability of some people to easily hack our computers, the only safe way of having documents on our PCs would be to create them on removeable media while off-line and remove it before going on-line again. Does Microsoft have a vested interest in making it so hard for users to do this and so easy for people to hack its products?
It is not rocket science (or even computer science) to request insertion of a "Documents" SD card if not present. It could also optionally automatically eject the SD card when all files on it were closed.
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.
Specifically My Documents.
Since this folder is likely to grow, I want to place it on the Storage Card. I have moved the folder there and changed the following:-
Created HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Explorer\Shell Folders = \Storage Card\My Documents
and
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = \Storage Card\My Documents
But after a soft reset, \My Documents has been recreated and ActiveSync will still only see that folder. The folder I want to use on the Storage Card is still completely ignored.
So...
Why do such Registry hacks fail so completely. If WM5 works in a certain way, how come such adjustments work on some devices and not others?
How can I actually get \Storage Card\My Documents recognised, both for internal use and also to sync with the PC?
If I do manage to do this, what about other folder paths specified in the Registry that begin \My Documents\etc? Will that path be replaced by the new location of that folder when the path string gets used (which would be quite smart, so I doubt it), or do I have the change every string that occurs in the Registry to reflect the new location?
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!

Hi
Posting it cause people here can have enough knowledge to help me.
I have problem with library on my htc touch2.
First of all I don't want to use Windows Media Player on my desktop computer.
I keep my music on \Storage Card\My Documents\My Music\.
I also have some wav files ringtones on Device and some wav game files on \Storage Card\Games\.
I want to been able to play music in WMP mobile.
If I clear my library (delete XMEMediaLibrary.mlb) and tried to use files browsing instead of library browsing I can't select multiple files to add to current playlist, is there any way?
If I want to add my music to library I must go to 'update library' with no any directory selection to scan, it result that my library have all audio files from device and sd card. I know I can remove XMEMediaLibrary.mlb from Device to restrict library to sd card only but don't want to have game's audio files in library also.
Also when I put new music on sd card I must 'update library' and again delete .mlb file from device, right?
It's really pathetic! is there any way, maybe some registry tweaks to make WMP mobile library scan only My music directory? it must be something :/
nobody knows any sollution?
