I cannot beleive I figured this out!
One of the most annoying things about a Pocket PC's 'Pictures and Videos' app is the way you can't tell it where to look, jeez you need to click far to many times to get to the pic or vid you want Attached here are four shortcuts, in two zips, for you to drop into your Start Menu. Two for \My Documents\My Pictures and \My Documents\My Videos stored on the card Two for \My Documents\My Pictures and \My Documents\My Videos in main memory Enjoy  
Main_Memory.zip ( 363bytes )
Number of downloads: 145
Storage_Card.zip ( 387bytes )
Number of downloads: 222Oh and if your device saves your photos to DCIM\100MEDIA you can change that, to align with this new shortcut, by following this link UPDATED 27/11/07 Now with different icons for each shortcut (see post 7 for preview)
Main_memory_different_icons.zip ( 208.93K )
Number of downloads: 147
Storage_Card_different_icons.zip ( 208.96K )
Number of downloads: 216This post has been edited by mandt: Nov 27 2007, 13:14 -------------------- |

Overwriting the old shortcuts will be fine

Mandt, I need your help again mate.
After I hard reset my phone, I went to install your icons again. But this time the video's icon does not show up. The pictures icon is fine. But Videos icon is a white screen with a blue strip at the top. I did a soft reset and still nothing. I did everything in exactly the same way as before! |

Sounds like you haven't pasted the dll in properly. DL it again and make sure you paste videos.dll into \Windows

My wm6 smartphone doesn't have a file called pimgres.dll so the icon trick doesn't work. But looking through the registry, there is some sort of alias called :pimgapp, so this works for me to show the pictures icon.
57#\Windows\pimg.exe -directory: \Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA?:pimgapp NOW, when the picture viewer opens \my documents\my pictures\, I see the camera shortcut icon, which is very convenient. Anybody know how to get the camera icon to appear when pimg is looking at another folder? There is some sort of setting or hardcoding that makes pimg show the camera when in the 'my documents\my pictures' folder. I would really like to change that to the folder on the storage card. |
