Hi all.
Can someone help me out...
I've tried to do this hack refered on the Tynt Wiki:
PocketIE Cache in storage card
Create these folders:
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\History
Add the following registry keys, string data type:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files"
"Cookies"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies"
"History"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\History"
But i don't see any results. I've made the hack in reg, soft reset, but nothing.
Can someone help me out? Is there another way to do it?
Thx
I'm having the same problem.
With my Wizard changing the registry works, i.e. the storage card can be used for the cache files, but not so with the Trinity; so I would also like to know if anybody has figured out a solution for this?

But if I turn off the phone, then I can't use the Internet Explorer
Well seriously, it's not a matter of the registry update not being flushed; it simply doesn't work.
Try sktools and change history/cookies/cache folders. I've got them in storage card.
I tried sktools today, but when I ran it, in the settings for Cache, Cookies and History it showed me the settings that I had already created myself in the registry, so no luck here.
@sAnTeE, a question if you don't mind:
Did you ever verify for sure that the directories on your storage card are really being used as the actual storage for the files that are cached?
What I see is that if I delete the directories from the storage card, then they are created again the next time I start IE. So there is no doubt that IE is picking up the reg. settings that I made.
BUT when I look in the directories, they are empty, except for the Cache one, where there is a dir. named Content.IE5, which again contains 4 dirs with seemingly random names like 'A7QZKP01' etc.
These subdirs are where the cached files should be stored, but they are all empty!
Another thing I noticed just recently when I was fiddling with this, is that the actual dirs that are used for caching are in \Windows.
There are 3 dirs in \Windows: 'Temporary Internet Files', 'History' and 'Cookies', and these are the ones that are actually being used, not the ones that are in \Windows\Profiles\guest, which are the normal defaults.
Think I might have found the answer, or at least an answer for my own issues with this.
I have been using a FAT32 formatted 4GB card from Moby Memory, but just for the experiment I put in a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II card, deleted 'Temporary Internet Files', 'History' and 'Cookies' from \Windows, started IE and voila, the directories on the card was used for caching.
Put back the 4GB card, started IE and now the dirs in \Windows were created again and used for caching.
So apparently IE won't or can't use the 4GB card for caching.

Is it me, or can this forum be a bit hard to search? (using "" or AND doesn't work??) I KNOW I've seen more than one topic on this but I cant find it for the life of me and I'm not getting refined results.
Just encountered that problem where the Wizard suddenly makes a new Storage Card folder and renames the original one "Storage Card2". The new folder has 2 folders to hold mail attachments and a folder for PIE History.
I can see and use all for the files on the Storage Card2 (all of my movies and music and what not) but the associated programs are now looking for them in the new Storage Card folder.
How can I revert this? I can't delete the new and rename the original with the device docked. Getting sharing violation errors..
Anyone have this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Ok so I fixed it....
I took out my SD card.
From File Explorer on the device, I was able to rename the "Storage Card" that was on the Device to "Old". If you now try to delete it, you'll still get a cannot delete Index error.
I did a soft reset and was then able to delete the "Old" folder. I got "system fil" warnings, but it allowed me to delete the whole folder.
I then inserted my SD card, which immediately showed up as "Storage Card", the way it's supposed to.
My programs are now looking for their files on "Storage Card" and finding them there.
If anyone knows why this happens, feel free to pitch in....
I found that this occurred with me if I did any hacks to put internet explorer temp files, Omega One's Journal Bar files or email attachments to the storage card. I expect is was one of the first two that does it on start up and it was rather upsetting at first until you firgure out what to do about it. I've since unapplied those hacks and it hasn't happened again.

I would like to know how I can get IE to save all data to my storage card instead of the internal memory. I keep running out of memory, especially when running IE.
Also I'd like any general tips on how to save internal memory. I find that I'm running out too often. Is there unneeded files that can be deleted? Are there other tricks to fix this?
The IE cache folder is specified in the registry. Have a look at the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
There is a String value here called Cache, with a default of "\Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files".
Create a folder on the storage card, e.g. "iecache", and change the value of Cache to "\Storage Card\iecache". This folder will the be used for the IE cache.
Thanks, that will help a lot! Does anyone know any other methods for saving memory on the devices internal memory? My device is always saying I'm low and I wonder if this may decrease the speed of operations also.
In the same line of concern where should I modify the registery to have Calls Note to be save to the storage card ?
Also when you synchronise with Active Sync, notes that are in your Microsoft Outlook how can I tell him to sync those notes on the storage card in a particular folder ?
Thank you
Friends,
I have searched through the threads and WIKI to try to find a way to get rid of the problem where when you are running programs from your storage card and use more than one, somehow the device starts to register the primary storage card as being on the device, and then treats the actual storage card as Storage Card 2. It's a big problem for me because now none of my programs from the storage card will run from what has now been relabelled "Storage Card 2" on the device. It seems to have something to do with the way the Microsoft programs automatically store to a card for Email and Internet explorer cookies.
I found the following procedure in the WIKI and tried to follow it, but I'm obviously not doing it right. It would probably be very helpful if I understood registry editing better, but I'm not sure what the exact pathnames are that I should follow to make the changes and follow the procedure below. Someone with more computer background would probably "just know." Specifically, how do I get to the IEM that is referred to below?
I would really be grateful if somehow who gets this could patiently explain exactly how to get into the right area of the registry. I don't want to screw up my device.
Thanks.

Here are the instructions. I just need help being told how to find the IEM reg hack location referred to below, so I know what to change to "test."
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you are seeing Storage Card and Storage Card2 in your File Explorer, follow these steps to fix the problem:
1. Went into Messages-Menu-Tools-Options-Storage and unclicked 'Store attachments on storage card'.
2. Opened a Total Commander (or any other ?RegEdit Tool) and changed the IEM reg hack entires. In the cookies, cookies and history keys, I changed 'Storage Card' to 'test'.
3. Opened IE so that 'test' will be created in the root directory of the Mobile Device.
4. Soft reset.
5. Opened file explorer and deleted Storage Card from the root directory of the Mobile Device.
6. Soft reset. When rebooted, Storage Card 2 should be Storage Card.
7. Opened a Total Commander (or any other ?RegEdit Tool) and changed the IEM reg hack entires. In the cookies, cookies and history keys, I changed 'test' back to 'Storage Card'.
8. Deleted the IEM folder from Storage Card. (Didn't know if this was necessary but felt that it couldn't hurt).
9. Opened IE to create IEM on Storage Card.
10. Soft rest.
11. Deleted 'Test' from the root directory of the Mobile Device.
12. Performed the Reg Hack in this thread.
13. Sent the message attachments back to Storage Card.[/i][/i][/i]
easier Way to do this
Folks,
I found an easier way to do this. You can simply rename the "Storage Card" file in Internet Explorer and the device will then read the real storage card as "Storage Card" instead of "Storage Card 2." Of course, I am now stuck with a folder named "test" that I can't delete because it has a bunch of "index" system files in it. But so far, this seems like it fixed my major frustration.
If anyone wants to talk me through how to delete the new "test" file to get rid of the indexes, I would welcome that.
Thanks.
I have two folders in my trinity's SD that I can't delete due to system warnings like "make sure is not protected" and stuff like that. Do anyone has any idea of how to force the elimination of them? any handy soft or registry key?
Regards

my first try would be from a pc cardreader
You could try using WM5Torage, and connecting the device directly. Or put the card in any other device.
If that fails, I think the only way is to format the storage card...
Sometimes if there are corrupt files in a folder it can't be deleted, the only way (I think) is to format it (backup every thing else and copy back to card).
Some folders are created automatic by the OS (like IEcache in some ROM's), but that can be set up in the registry.
Hey Guys,
I have downloaded and installed some programs to my HD2's internal memory by mistake (I was a newbie). Now, it is full of programs and i am running out of memory.
I want to move all of the program files to storage card. I tried cut and paste. However, this time, wm gives error saying it cannot find the path for the program.
Is there a way which allows me to move files directly to the storage card instead of removing and reinstalling?
Thanks
a couple of programs are only installed in a subdirectory and linked from Startmenu to this folder.
No problem to move this subdirectory to the storage card and change the link in the startmenu. (using resco explorer, for example)
but if a program is using the windows-mobile-registry (or an own INI-File) you have to change all the items from this program - it's almost impossible ...
the best way - if you don't know how voluminous the program is - to deinstall the program and reinstall the program at storage card.
Thanks, I could not think also copying shortcut to startmenu folder. My problem will be solved, most probably, at that time.
Edit: I installed resco explorer, but I could not find how to specify shortcut while in start menu? Can you please help?
