I don't remember the path, but user Registry editor and search for \Windows\Favorites to find it

yes. did try tat b4 i posted this thread.
it's HKLM\System\Explorer\Shell Folders\, a string called Favorites. I changed to \Storage Card\Windows\Favorites, soft resetted but it did not work as expected.

factory restore problem

i want to do a factory restore on my phone to clean all the unnecessary junk file created before, i am using windows mobile 6.1, htc touch pro, dont know if it matters
i am wondering after i do the restore, do i have to install all my programs again on my storage card or i can just take my storage card out when doing the factory restore and once restore is completed, i can plug in the storage card and use the program with no problem??
i have quite a lot of program on my storage card and i lost those .cab files overtime, dont want to spend time looking for it again.
does anyone know if this will work??
many thanks

it depends. some applications require system files to be installed either in root/program files or in root/windows on your internal storage... so it's hard to tell whether you will lose them or not.
you can list the applications you have installed and i'll tell you what i know.

the one i really want to keep is my GPS, is Garmin and is installed onto the storage card

garmin should have its installation ready in the storage card incase you had to hard reset.
If you purchased garmin, you wouldn't have a problem installing it again and getting the maps

Nir, you get around my friend haha.
@rubbishhk, just a note, when you come to reinstall ur apps, if you dont delete the folders where the programs are installed on your storage card (garmin excepted) you will find u get an error when trying to re-install that program as the files already exist.
Back up ur storage card as it is to ur PC, then delete the program folders. u will then be able to re-install them no probs. Wot i do is save all my cabs in a folder on the storage card, so if i ever have to hard reset, at least i have the cabs saved on my card ready to go.
ps use advanced config and turn off "delete cabs after install" that way they will always stay on r card after u install.

Off topic i know, but i saw this yesterday and thought mmmm Ill read the thread as i need to be able to use exchange email.... im still holding out for m3d hd thread

yeah, TF3DHD should be very cool.

I tried tflo3d and it worked and was kool (obviously jerky still) but lets hope the team find a solution for the 3d driver power off issue.

you are aware of the fact that there's something called "TF3D standby" which lets you turn off your display right?

rite, i didnt but i have now downloaded and going to give it a try!! Cheers Nir

Storage Card FilesToBeDeleted Folder

I deleted a file from the storage card, and when I saw the first page inside storage card, there was a new folder created other than those created by me, named 'FilesToBeDeleted' which was empty.
Is this normal?
Should I delete this automatically created folder?
Thanks

This is normal. Even if you delete it with the next SoftReset it will be created again .-

you can change it's properties to be hidden..

Pure Calendar Widget Export Settings

Does anybody know where Pure Calendar Widgets places the settings export file. I've searched the SD card and can't find it anywhere. I've got a Galaxy Nexus so maybe it has something to do with the way it handles the internal SD card?
It says that its saving the file. Just can't find it anywhere.

hi,
check here:
/sdcard/data/com.anod.calendar/backup

Thanks for that. Unfortunately my sdcard/data folder doesn't contain that folder nor is it anywhere else on the sdcard. Pure calendar Widgets sees it if I attempt an import but I certainly can't find it with a file browser like es file explorer.

The galaxy nexus doesn't have removable sd card. the file structure is still there sdcard\... but its internal. All of my other apps write to it like they did on my last phone with a removable sd card. Also pure cal widgets sees it if you attempt to import it. I just can't browse it.

Old, old bump but I found this link via google and I never found the answer until I discovered it myself. It's in a hidden file on your sdcard called .org.koxx.pure_calendar/widget_configs.

Tks
Thank you!!!!

Its the files you have deleted when using your phone. Just delete it, or all files in it.

Ok, so that means i can safely delete it, thanks. But is there any way to view those files?

They seems to be just renamed and moved after a system boot.
if you cant open it, they are probably binary files. if they where photos/music you could just open them I think.

I tried this method and it did not work. After flashing cm10.2 I have a problem with my internal memory space, I have about 220 mb free space but I don't have many apps on my phone, just a few ones and they are small. So I am searching for solutions and I deleted lost.dir that situated on my external SD. That was the only lost.dir that I found. Any suggestions?
