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\Exp lorer\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?

try to hold the power bottom and turn off.

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.
