hallo paul alles klar ? ;) ...
No way... sorry. i also need to do it.
btw... do you also have the issue with vanishing mail accounts and messages after softreset?
Which brand/rom you got?
cheers.

somewhere on this forum is a post where someone pointed me to an app and i got into ext rom and uploaded it. That is definitely a way to see it in read mode, i didn't try writing to it and can't surf to get u a link to the post cos this comp is sooo slow and on 56k dial up.

hope it helps

Hi Folks!

Toenailed wrote following registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] -> MountHidden change from 1 to 0 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27881&highlight=extended. But it does nothing on my german version of Universal.

With my knowledge of Blueangel I found another solution:

Download and install TotalCommander 2.0 for PocketPC/WinCE from http://www.ghisler.com and do following:

In the address-bar of Total-Commander type simply "\Extended_ROM" and you see it. You can copy from and to Extended_ROM. So I can do on my device without setting this registry key. The files in Extended_ROM are write-protected, but you can copy something into the Extended_ROM.

And this made me curious:

I wrote my own simple "config.txt" and copied it into Extended_ROM and it overwrotes the original "config.txt". Then I deleted my new "config.txt" and it was away. Then I made a reset AND (my luck) the original "config.txt" was here again.

Hope, it also works also on your devices and it helps you...
Please post your experiences.

Greetings, Peter
