To free up a bunch of memory on your phone perform the following to move the Cache, Cookies, and History to your storage card. After doing so, you must use that storage card when using Pocket Inernet Explorer. You can however create the same folders on each memory card that you use.
Tested and works on Windows Mobile 6!
| 01 | Using File Explorer in ActiveSync or the File Manager on your smartphone, create the following folders on the root of your Storage Card. \ietemp\cache |
| 02 | Fire up the registry editor on your phone and navigate to the following key. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell FoldersYou will need to edit the following values. Cache Change Value Data to \Storage Card\ietemp\cache Reboot your phone. |
| 03 | Next, fire up your File Manager and navigate to \Windows\Profiles\Guest and delete the \cache, \cookies, and \history, folders. If they do not delete then double check your regedits. To verify that it is working, visit a website with PIE and then check your new folders on the storage card for contents. |
Show/Hide commentsI keep getting error...i created folders correctly, but when I went to delete the cache, cookies and history folders, there wasnt a history folder.....now the phone says "this page you are looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80072f78"...any suggestions?
I didn't get it to work correctly, my internet was not connecting to anything and then my Activesync just would not connect. So i created new folders in the windowsporfilesguest, and everything worked like it did before. But when I checked the new folders, there was new information saved there. So I guess it worked. So do i still need to delete the guest folders? Or does the change in the Registry do the trick (by it's self)?
Thanks Tony! works as advertised on WM5
I don't think you have to create the directories first. Just point the key values in HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer
Shell Folders to the StorageCard, and type in the directory names as indicated in the original post.
I just changed the Key values and rebooted, loaded up a couple web sites and viola, the dirs & associated files were there on the storage card.
Worked like a charm. I tried looking for the registry entries before and didn't know where to look. Thanks.
btw anyone looking for a great registry editor for their phone which is actually running on your pc, get hold of CeRegEditor here: http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/
