Hi:
I have T-Mobile SDA and with WM5 and WM6 i can´t see de windows folder in the mobile. In the mobile i can see the folder but via Active sync i can´t.
¿What´s the problem?
Thanks.
"show" hidden files and folders in your pc.
OK. Thanks. I tried thats but i don´t see.
If you are using Vista then you may have to uncheck "hide protected operating system files" in the folder options.

Hi all,
I just sucessfully installed big storage on my O2 mini and was wondering how i can change the default directory to which my software installs. The software is Imaginet-arabitizer and it uses a PC-based installation. No cab files...
Help please....
help
you can only whether you want to install a program to a default location, storage or a storage card. it will ask you in the beginning of installation by ActiveSync. choose NO and install sonewhere else.. gl
Still no luck....
Unfortunately, this particular program does not use the active sync user interface for the installation....
Any other methods?
i saw a shareware program on the forums once that did that... wish i downloaded it then cause i cant find it again sorry .. thought id let you know its out there though.....
aidil916 - unless it's some kind of ROM update etc, anything that gets installed on the PPC must always use a cab file, even on PC based install. So, start the install, and does add/remove programs or something come up?
Either way, if it installs something to the PPC (i've no idea how the arabizer works), interrupt the installation or somehow stall it. Then use a program like Filetracer or even the XP search tool to find any cabs installed to your pc in the last few minutes. Track down the cab (usually in your temp folder, programs folder or activesync folder) and then take a backup copy of the cab. Then, copy that to your PPC..
Tell me how it goes.

Usually when you perform PC-based installation software asks you for target location but some programs are hard-coded with "\Program Files\ProgramName" path so they will fail to work if you place them to another locations, i.e. to Storage Card
For programs that don't allow you to change target location you can change their registry entries to correct their path from "\Program Files\" to "\Storage Card\Program Files\". Here you will also need to manually move your program to a new location (SD) using Explorer's copy-&-paste functions
ps: don't use cut-&-paste because some of your programs may be running and this will cause sharing violation errors
Example, I have program "ABC" installed at "\Program Files\ABC" folder.
1) Using Explorer I navigate to "\Program Files" and COPY "ABC" folder to clipboard
2) Now I navigate to "\Storage Card" and create folder "Program Files"
3) I open newly created folder "\Storage Card\Program Files" and PASTE my "ABC" folder from clipboard here
4) Using Registry Editors I search for "\Program Files\ABC" entries and change them to "\Storage Card\Program Files\ABC"
5) I do soft-reset. If after that program works Ok, I delete "\Program Files\ABC"
The software is Imaginet-arabitizer and it uses a PC-based installation. No cab files...

Check your activesync's installation location. You will find the cab file within Software name or company folder, like "C:\program files\microsoft activesync\ABC"

There are 3 methods i use,
1st is download the CAB file if you can, copy to your PPC and install with a program called CAB Install http://www.s-k-tools.com/fp/viewtopic.php?t=44 which allows you to install the app anywhere you want.
2nd is to run the standard ??.exe PC installation file but without your PPC pluged in. After the ??.exe install file is finished it will normally produces a CAB file on your PC which will copy across to your PPC next time you plug it in. All you need to is to find the CAB file and manually copy it to your PPC and use CAB Install.
The 3rd way is to do the same as 2 above and then use an app called WinCE CAB manager which you can generally modify the CAB files standard installation directory to what ever you want to.
Hope this helps
Most software including PC based installs eventually use CAB files. For this I use a small program CabInstl.
I am looking for the name of the software that lets you ask where to install a cab file in Windows Mobile 2003. I remember having a program like that but it got removed after a hard reset. Can anyone tell me the name of that program?
- TKN
Anyone got any clue to the software?
Look for CabInstl by SK Software.
But will this software allow me to pick a location for lets say if I am installing a program from an exe file from my PC? I remember the software I used did something what WM5 and WM6 does by creating a Program Files directory and not creating a folder for each program on the root of the Storage Card.
For a few days now I have been unable to access the Windows directory of my Vox via my PC. I have tried turning 'Show hidden files and folders' on but ot no avail.
If I use the File Explorer on my phone then I can see it just fine, however not on my PC.
Does anybody know what may be causing this problem?
On your pc,
go to folder options and uncheck Hide protected operating sysytem files, it is bellow options you have set.
Good luck.

Ahh thanks very much. For some reason Windows had turned this back on again and I hadn't noticed.
Hi all
could any one help me , how to browse(open) the directory "/windows" for WM6.0 from the activeSync 4.5?
Click the "Explore" button on ActivSync window
Double Click on "My Windows Mobile-Based Device"
Double Click on "Windows"
Done
thanx, i needed to open the option from the PC to show hidden folder.
Hello. Its the first time i write here. I wonder why I can´t find my windows folder on my htc touch pro when I connect my phone to my computer with activesync. I can find it on my phone, but not on the computer as I said
If you are using Windows Explorer try Tools > Folder Options > View and unhide everything that is hidden.
i think activesync also goes by repllog (or something to that effect) so use either windows explorer or total commander. And search either activesync OR repllog.
good luck
I have tried both solutions, but none of them works :S Anyone has another idea?
install total commander if you haven't got it in the pc version
install the total commander plugin called WinCE
connect your pda to activesync
when connected
click \ on total commander it have a network kinda icon this
leads the way to your plugins
click the winCE plugin
and navigate to the pda's windows dir
works like a charm
YAY! It works
awww
:S i can find the windows folder and that now, but when i try to move the files from the computer (touch flo 3d skins) it says "fel när filen skulle skickas" which means "error while the file was going to be moved" and then the file name under that. Does anybody know how i can move it to the phone? :S
in total commander you just navigate to the windows folder go to properties and uncheck the system mark.

Im not sure if i press the "right" properties button, but it has the hotkey alt+enter. When i press on it it only tells me about the folder and how much space that is used on it. (i selected the windows folder and pressed alt+enter)
In windows 7 you just need to unhide system files and folders. Tools/Folder options/view.
