Would you mind saving us a few days of trial and error and tell us what registry changes you made? It sure sounds like an interesting hack...
"After literally an hour's ceaseless searching", I have discovered the "hidden art of turning base things into gold". :wink:
V
here u go... just finished writing the directions...
hope it helps...
Great idea and work. Do you think it will have an effect with Tomtom Navigator 5 since map files are installed in the root folder of the SD card and not in a sub-folder (i.e. My Documents)?
this tweak allows u to use external storage as local storage. it depends on whether u set ur "storage card" or "storage" to program files folder it will be the default installation path...
now all my programs r in the program files folder A.K.A. "Storage" even for those programs that needed to be installed in the main memory like SBP, anti virus etc...
i dun have to worry about my main memory anymore cos this has free up sufficient space for it...
Thanks man. I'm scheduled to do a hard reset on my unit and make a fresh install since my unit has been acting a bit strange lately.
there are 25 downloads on my doc but not a single comment...
This will work very well for "Storage=Program Files" but I think the OS will make a new "My Documents" as soon as you pull out your Storage Card ... (especially if there is an app trying to use that folder)
But I'm using it for the Program Files method.... I think its pretty clever
amazingly it did not change... even if u change another sd card it will still remain as my documents...
i've tested on "my documents" when i took out my sd card, "my documents" folder simply disappears. when i save a note etc, there will be a temp "my documents" folder appear. but this folder can be deleted at anytime before reinserting ur sd card and the original "my documents" folder reappears resuming its place... it'll be fine to change sd cards as all sd cards will be recognize as "my documents"
Test Crash
Yesterday i did some test crash on the system to find out the vunerabilities of it anyway, here's the results...
1) can't survive default factory settings (power + reset) obviously... :roll:
2) forgotten all abt "Windows Media Player" folder and "Connections" folder residing at the original "Program Files" folder by default so before u delete the original "Program Files" folder, make sure that u cut and paste both folders to storage (new "Program Files" folder) i've uploaded "Windows Media Player" folders just in case it's too late... as for the "Connections" folder, it appears to be empty. so i gues its ok... :wink:
3) system only fails (storage = My Documents2, new "My Documents" folder on main memory) when caller ID is installed. this can be restored by taking out your SD card, wait till "My Documents2" folder disappeared, delete new "My Documents" folder and reinserting SD card. but u will have to repeat this process everytime u restart ur system, :twisted: unless caller ID has been removed.
4) Installation of Acrosoft MMS cab will have the same problem as above... but it is not permenant like caller ID. just use the method above once and it'll stay that way for good...
that's the only software conflict i have experienced. other than that, my magician kick ass...
:idea: the purpose of this tweak is to let everyone utilize the storage spaces completely, minimizing the usage of the main memory so that it'll have better performance... turning ur BigStorage into "Default Installation Path", ur SD Card into "Default Documents Storage"... nothing goes to waste...
Structure of this system:
System Files: Main Memory
Program Files: Ext-ROM 18.96mb + Storage 7.6mb= BigStorage 26.56mb to 26.72mb
My Documents: SD Memory

thx my friend, i'm going to check it and let you know if it was successful.
thanks sherko...
anyway, i've found out a way to speed up PPC even more after you are done with the file system tweak...
alternaltively you can MemMaid to do this, but there are limitations using MemMaid, that is some programs will not work if you move certain .dll
1) copy the entire AppMgr folder from \Windows\ to the new \Program Files\ dir (ex. \Program Files\AppMgr\)
2) use your preferred registry editor to search for \Windows\AppMgr and change all results to \Program Files\AppMgr\XXXX.dll
Reboot your system...
3) use explorer to delete \Windows\AppMgr and that's it...
you'll find that your system will responds faster than it used to be... thanks to the new file system, your PPC recognizes all your external storage as local storage (as in Main Memory)...
hi all , i have done all and working fine. The only problem i get is when i try and sync my outlook with outlook 2003 and i get error on pocket pc
Error : Could not create the voice link recording directory.
I do not have any software on it yet on bigstorerom, only Resco Explorer
any help would be good
Thanks
Brian
hi Brian
ok... i'm not sure if this is the case, i believe that your prior note option save to storage card / My documents. by now your system recognize your storage card as main memory...
so, go to your note > tools > option
change to Save to Main Memory....
as for your outlook, shouldn't have any problem unless you are synchronizing with your notes and the option setting above may just solve everything...
if it works, that means someone's not paying attention on my notes...
keep me update on the results....
cheers...
ok... now i know your problem...
i never noticed it as i don't really uses the voice recording... i'm getting the error when i tap on new in the notes sections...
let me know if u have the same problem...
now i'm working on it... i'll post it once i've rectify the problems... btw, if you happen to solve it before i do, pls share it with us...
thanks...
hmmm...It doesn't works for me....
I've done the tweak, and when I push the contatcts button, my Magician says: "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filemane"
I've copied all my folders in my Documents, but there wasn't UAContents in there (I've done filetweak after a hard reset).
Any Idea...?

I like the HTC Camera Album very much but I can't change the directories to browse my picture which are not in DCIM-Folder.
Is there a possibility to add this function?
I found the reg-entry to make the standard picture viwer but its senceless without "directory change"-menu.
I testet "HTC AlbumFolder DirectoryOption.cab" but when I want to install it occurs a failure with the rights of my device.
Thank u 4 help!
Like 2hot4tv, I'm puzzled about how you view photo's in other directories using htc's otherwise excellent camera album.
I did discover that if I used "open with" (part of ISS essentials) to open a picture stored elsewhere, then it appeared in the album, but only that picture, not its neighbours.
Yours hopefully,
Roy.

Is not solution !
You can try the following. That will not allow you to view all the pictures in different directories with HTC Album, but you get rid of the DCIM folder.
1. In the camera menu choose the option to save the pictures on the storage card.
2. Then do the following registry change:
HKLM \Software\HTC\Camera\General
Set "EnableDCIM" to 0 (default is 1)
This will change the path for the camera album to Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures
3. Copy all your pictures in this directory.
Now you can view them with HTC Album.
To view pictures in different folders, you have to use the HTC Picture an Video viewer programm.
Best regards

It is already doing for a long time, but it is for its video does not work, they remain in the DCIM directory
HELP
Only MPG4 videos are shown in HTC Album. It seems, that HTC Album is not able to show other coded videos. Switching back to the DCIM folder don´t work.
So far as I know, there is no solution at the moment.
Best regards
Starwalker
Windows mobile device centre syncs all pictures to the \Storage Card\Pictures folder. Is it possible to change the settings for the HTC camera album to view this folder instead of DCIM or My Pictures?
Thanks
greg
some solutions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376418 including some versions of HTC Album that allow you to choose which folder you want to browse.
Solution
Here is the solution to that problem:
1: Create a folder in your storage card named "My Documents" and inside it another named "My Pictures"
1: Remove your storage card
2: Go to File Explorer, go to My Device and create a New Folder named "Storage Card"
3: Insert your storage card and now it should be named "Storage Card2"(that's because the system changes it)
That's it! If you take pictures(and assuming you've selected storage card as destination) they should save in Storage Card2/My Documents/My Pictures
I hope its useful!!

You are kidding right? Anyway this is a really old thread, but for people who still don't know the answer to this question, the best way nowadays is to upgrade to the latest version of HTC Album. Search for M2D Applications and you'll find it.
Hi,
I have been using the wifi to download my office mails..
but than i can only download around 7 days of mails with attachments.I tried to transfer the attachment and mails on mem card;i tried some registry setting and found that it saves in phone mem as applicationdata>>volatile>>attachments.
I add \Memory Card\Application Data\Volatile
but still it saves all mails and attachments on phone mem.
I also wanna transfer all the incoming beam to be saved directly on my memory card. is this possible
Pls give a solution.
Bye
It is very easy:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox
create new STRING key:
name "PropertyPath", value "\Storage Card\__YOUR_FOLDER__"
! Replace __YOUR_FOLDER__ with folder name which you would like to use.
You can also setup path for attachments:
create new STRING key:
name "AttachmentPath", values "\Storage Card\__YOUR_FOLDER__\Attachments"
sorry but it won't work to me

The only way I know is to move them into a different folder. If you REALLY don't want them to show up, you could zip them up and delete the originals. They's about as good as I can suggest I'm afraid. Either that, or stop taking pictures of your girlfriend/gentials lol.
Too much porn on your phone, am I right guys?
Did u try to hide them with total commander or other file manager?

Changing the file attributes doesn't help. The album apps still show them. This is one of the things that bugged me when I made my "Hide Folders" app. It became a little pointless when certain applications didn't care about the "hidden" attribute.
Hi there
I use a Software named "Secubox". With this, i can create a virtual storage card which I can mount and unmount if i need it.
Its also encryptet, so the data stored there is secure and you have no access, if you don't have the password...
Works nice on my HD2, the only solution for this kind of data ;-)
else: put your pictures in a subfolder in Program Files... Album will show them only if you browse there....
Tip with the Program folder does it for me ! thank you!
Hi,photos in touchflo3D come by default from DCIM folder on your storage card . You can create a new folder called from example DCIM2 an put here photos that you don't want to see in the Touchflo3D .

That works for the very front of the GUI, but if you click on albums, you get to see the folders with images in them. I believe the above suggestion of putting your images in a program files sub-folder stops that happening.
Also, if you were to use the pictures & videos app, you can browse the folders all over the phone, so it's still not 100%. I think the suggestion of a secure, encrypted area is the most secure of the lot.
Either that or take my previous advice, and stop taking c**k shots lol.
Hi, I wrote the following script for my TP2 which did the trick. You need to have Mortscript installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548841
Hide Photos
Not sure if this helps but what I do is :
I have on the SD card, a folder with all my data in called imaginatively Data.
In there I have Videos, Photos, Documents, and Hidden.
And pictures I don't want to be seen in Album, I put in the hidden folder.
Then in Total Commander :
Select the folder
Click File
Then >>>>>
Then Properties
This allows you to adjust the attributes.
Click Hidden, and click Recurse subdirs. (If you don't do the recurse, it will hide the folder but NOT the images within).
Then click OK.
Reverse the process when you want to get them back.
It's like 5 clicks to hide, and 5 to get them back.
No need to rename or anything, I found it works for me.
Hi,
create a new folder for private pictures and add to Album ignored list.
Example
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored]
"Maps from TomTom"="\\Storage Card\\Western*"
"TomTom"="\\Storage Card\\Navigator"
"Musik"="\\Storage Card\\Musik"
"MSMetaData"="\\Storage Card\\MSMetaData"
"Camera"="\\My Documents\\Templates"
"MMS"="\\My Documents\\UAContents"
[COLOR="Red"]"Private"="\\Storage Card\\Private Pictures"[/COLOR]
with friendly greet
starbase64
yep
the upper post doesn't work, but no doubt the easiest way to do it is posted up by jaknife with recurse subfolders hide method
Another solution.. in the thread [REF]*Leo Hints & Tips*, at the tip no 64:
"64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album
Don't you find it annoying that HTC Album Shows lots of images you don't need to see when you select Albums like GPS poi icons? Now you can tell HTC Album to ignore certain folders.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignored and add a NEW STRING VALUE
Eg if there is iGO8 in the root of the Storage Card you would create a NEW STRING VALUE with Value name iGO8 and Value Data \Storage Card\iGO8
This will include all subfolders inside the iGO8 folder. Save and reset."
works only in HTC Album, not manila interface
Hi,
Thanks to starbase64 and traianboala , I have tried the ignore string key, and works fine in albums program of HTC, but the images still appear on manila Photos & Videos (that is on the manila interface) any solution or another ignore string / list for the manila interface?
Sounds like you got alot of self made home private spicy photo's/videos..
stop taking pictures of your girlfriend/gentials lol.

Guess which one I use! and FreeOTFE works great on my HD2! just remember to format the volume you create as a FAT32.
Works!!!

This worked for me. You just have to make sure you typed it right
I Wanted to know if there was any way to change the way the sense photo viewer scanned for files. For example could I get it to only show photos in a specific folder on my SD card. Reason being I have created a separate folder called contacts and I do not want it to display the photos in there.
Thanks
Same question, looking for reply.
yes you can, as far as I know .. go to the folder that you want to show through the Albums then choice the folder Menu>>Set Album as Favorite.
Hope this help

As tboy2000 states at the start of his thread, you'll need to have a registry editor installed in order to do this...
