OK, I need to access my HTC Mda/Wizard's Windows folder through my PC. I have Vista and mobile device center. When I was using a PC with XP and activesync there was no problem but with vista and device center the windows folder isn't visible at all, only when i access it through my actual phone. does anyone know how i can access this folder using vista?
I think you have to go to folder options and pick "show hidden folders" or something. See if that works.
Go into Organise > Folder and Search View and untick the box 'Hide protected operating system files'.
I usually turn it back on afterwards to hide all the crap Vista dots about your system
thanks a lot guys

Windows Vista has a lot of improvements, ActiveSync does not work with this version of windows but there is replacement for it. It is the Sync Center and Mobile Device Center.
When you connect your device to Windows Vista you see something like this
and then Mobile Device Center starts
The Pictures, Music And Video button leads to Windows Media Player 11 Sync functionality, which makes easy to sync your favorite playlists music and videos (I personally use it a lot since WMP10)
The File Menagement button opens your device in explorer so you can manage your files manually. By default in this view of folders there are not shown system and hidden folders and files.
Mobile Device Settings opens a small window which is very similar to ActiveSync's Connection Settings window, from which you can change te ways your device get connected to the PC
The Sync Center
As fas as this OS is still in beta it only syncs music, i have not found a way of syncing contacts with it
Looks rather sexy... Looking forward to it!
I'm sick of having to manually copy and paste my shortcuts in my programs folder! one click, cop, go into folder paste etc etc. I've tried mounting internal storage via wm5torage so i can do it from my pc but it says "insert disk".
Any other way to get the windows folder to show up when syncing?
Ah I'm a idiot
I enabled viewing of "hidden" files and I now can see my windows folder..
Thanks!
Hello,
i've a pda with WM 6.1
My problem is bidirectional synchronization.
The situation is:
1. On my mobile device are about 200 contacts (names, telNr, emails, adresses)
2. On my desktop pc with win xp + outlook 2003 (yesterday new win xp installation). Outlook is empty and doesn't have any contacts.
My problem in the past was deletion of new contacts on my mobile device.
For example i met someone in a club. He gave me his number and email adress. I type all the info on my mobile device.
If i plug my device at home (via ActiveSync) and tried to sync the contacts from my device with outlook on desktop pc this new contact was deleted!
Everything what wasn't on desktop pc was deleted.
Now i have my contacts only in my mobile device. Hot to set up active sync, mobile devic, desktop pc outlook to get the contacts from mobile device to desktop pc?
I'm afraid to lose all my contacts if i connect my mobile device with desktop pc :-( That everything will be overwritten with empty destkop pc outlook.
How to make the synchronization bidirectional?
1. If something is present only on mobile device and not on destkop pc -> save it on desktop pc.
2. If something is present only on destkop pc and not on mobile device -> save it on mobile device
3. Avoid duplicates
4. DELETE NOTHING FROM MOBILE DEVICE
Is it possible?
Please help me out :-/
best regards

Hi,
Sadly enough M$ does not use their AS themselves, otherwise it would be much more up to its task...
Best way to operate is IMHO : use PIMbackup to have a copy of your contacts saved. then sync the PDA and PC. When done, go into Extra | Options and change the settings to 'Leave item on PPC'. Restart PIMbackup and put back your backup-file. By the time you're finished doing that AS has already copied all your contacts from PDA to PC.
Dirk
have you looked in activesyncs settings
click Options
right click on the pc
choose source settings
look at the "if there is a conflict" dropdown
also it's always a good idea to backup your outlook on the pc
you can do that by exporting the pst file
I have a TP2 from Sprint and for some reason my Notifications MAnager has stopped working. I tracked it down to the service is not starting with windows.
I use Taskmanager to Start the service its clicked to go auto but after resets or shutdown it still does not load???
not clear if you speaking about pc windows services
or a program auto run on the pda as ppc don't have services as like pc windows
does
you can autostart stuff on the ppc by adding a shortcut to the exe in
\windows\startup

Program for the ppc. And its the htc notification manager. There is no exe listed in the program file all dlls............ So how do I get the notification manager service to start automotically instead of having to load it myself?
if you look in the /windows directory there may be an exe in here, when you find it click and hold on it and select copy from the menu
then go the directory that rudegar mentioned above and paste the shortcut there
Hello,
When I connect my HTC to my pc and exchange starts up I get my phone in "Computer" In there I have 2 drivers, my cellphone standard memory and my SD Card...
I wanted to arrange my shortcuts trough my pc but I see there is no Windows folder when I check out the cellphone "drive" ?
Is there something I did wrong or is there another program wich allows me to access it?
Hi there,
From what i gather, you are using the explore part of active sync. In windows explorer you need to enable "show all files" or "show hidden files".
THis way you will be able to see the windows folder and do what you want to do.
