I have three questions about my 8125.

1. I've installed several free programs/games and they all seem to install into the main directory. Is there a way i can click start -> programs and put those icons in a more cleaned up area? Something like put the into seperate folders - Internet folder, Network Tools Folder, Business Apps folder etc.. If it can be done, how?

2. I don't see any setting that allows any new installed programs to get installed on the minisd instead of being installed on the phones drive. How do you install it on the SD?

3. I have MS Streets installed and I downloaded some maps from MS. I put the maps in a folder under My Documents (which is the folder list on my 8125). After the synch I move the maps to the dir MS Streets is installed (so I don't have files all over the place). It works fine until the next sync because then active sync readds the maps to the directory I just moved them from. If I move the maps and then delete the maps from the directory on my computer then the sync removes the maps from the directory I moved them to on the 8125 as well. How can I get sync to stop doing this?

Err, one of those free programs you mentioned should have been GSFinder+ or Total Commander. Use one of them to navagate to Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Make your folders then drag-and-drop the .lnk files as you please.


2. I don't see any setting that allows any new installed programs to get installed on the minisd instead of being installed on the phones drive. How do you install it on the SD?


Err...do you have an SD card in your Wizard? Do you have the latest ROM? When you install programs onto the it asks you where you would like to install them "Device" or "Card". Uninstall your programs and when you reinstall select "Card" instead.


3. I have MS Streets installed and I downloaded some maps from MS. I put the maps in a folder under My Documents (which is the folder list on my 8125).

I do not use MS Streets but you can exclude files from syncing in your Activesync preferences.
