View Full Version : How to set 'Storage Card\My Documents' as default Save dir?

Sorry for posting my problem here but in other fora there were no answer so far :-(

I'd like to save my new docs into the 'My Documents' folder of Storage Card automatically in order to save space in main (RAM) memory. I know it seems to be easy, just go to 'Options' and set 'Save to' Storage Card. I've done it in case of every frequently used program.

Camera and Excel works well, they place the new file into 'Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures' and 'Storage Card\My Documents'. But Pocket Word and Notes place the new file just into Storage Card root dir.

Any hint how to solve it? Maybe some registry settings?

Thanks in advance

As it was my first request for assistance I thought the community was more helpful...

But no problem, finally I found the solution. (source: support.microsoft. com, article ID: 319616)

Let ME help if somebody has similar problem: you should delete the zero-byte-long 'ignore_my_docs' file from the root dir of Storage Card. This file prevents the built-in applications from using 'My Documents' dir as default/root folder while listing the files in 'Open File' window.
(If you need further explanation, refer to the above-mentioned Knowledge Base article.)

Cheers,

That looks pretty cool, and very useful - but only if your ActiveSync will sync the docs (Files) from your PC to that \Storage Card\My Documents folder.

Does it?

Thanks.

i wouldn't want that... i have like 800mb of mp3s and files on my 1gb sd card, it'll take ages to synchronize that... afterall, it is not necessary, cos if your pda crashed, it won't affect ur sd card..
