Guest alexknight Posted December 18, 2002 Report Posted December 18, 2002 has anyone else noticed that there is a random pocket excel file in the "Windows" directory of their smartphone? i've got some vehicle mileage log sheet that looks like one i remember seeing on Pocket PC 2000 PDA somewhere - does this mean the SPV might be getting Word and Excel ported onto it sometime?
Guest madu Posted December 18, 2002 Report Posted December 18, 2002 Yep!! Noticed that too... Opened it on my PC. What can I say, first I thought it was something to do with ListPro... But I agree, very strange that it is there in the first place... Vehicle Mileage on a phone?? in Excel file? Win folder?? Neil [MS], any ideas?
Guest alexknight Posted December 18, 2002 Report Posted December 18, 2002 it certainly not list pro - i don't have it installed!!! i am convinced it is one of the templates that i had on an old PDA about 2 years ago wich had pocket excel on it i'll see what i can find out and let you know - anyone found any other strange files?
Guest richardmc Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 There is also a few pocket word files as well........
Guest Richie M Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Funny you should say this i was rooting around the Windows folder yesterday and came across these two files :? smsmsg1.txt smsmsg2.txt Sarah Zuberec /RE: Dinner Meeting/Where?Guy Barker /Meeting tonight/Should I bring slides to the meeting?
Guest richardmc Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Hmmm. How interesting if a little dull..... I've found five different files which open nicely in Word, listed as Blank, Meeting, Memo, Phone & Todo. Not sure if they are true word docs but do open. :wink:
Guest Vector Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 There is a pizza order form in mine :shock:
Guest youngerpants Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 looks like developers not cleaning up after themselves if you ask me. The pizza forms are almost certainly proof-of-concept ideas
Guest ajb3000 Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 MS wasted so much space with crap that has nothing to do with the OS!!
Guest Richie M Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Anyone fancy doing a list of useless files we can delete?
Guest midnight Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 erm, windows? thats a good folder to delete :wink: just kiddin
Guest MECX Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 heehee it is rather funny like your avatar midnight--way cool. :)

Guest yatpeak Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 lol, pretty stupid of them to leave these things on the phones, but why dont they all have the same one, considering they were mass produced...Maybe it was the testers? Wyatt
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Anyone fancy doing a list of useless files we can delete? Problem is that these files are in the main Windows folder so every time you restart your phone they will reappear :)
Guest madu Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 PS: Yes, the pizza order is quite fun!! Seen the word files too - they even have appropriate icons, but seems like they were pushed for time and had no chance to make a Word viewer...
Guest mhm Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 i think these file were ported by mistake when the M$ guys were porting the Win CE to the SP OS there are many other files relating to the hand help device, like welcom images for the handheld in the windows folder i even found images relating to the stylus that are used for toush screen devices only.....
Guest casper508 Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Mine has so much SWISS stuff. At one time i was wondering if i had a refurbished SPV from Switzerland. Just a few thing i noted: Pizza Order form 'Find a restaurant' form Map of Geneva Loads of useless Images (stylus images??) Too bad we can't delete them for good. Cas
Guest DJHope Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Theirs no reason why pocket word and pocket excel wouldnt work out of the box on smartphone except its inpossible to extract them from the PocketPC versions and the small screen would make them look sh*t. DJ Hope
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Anyone fancy doing a list of useless files we can delete? They'll only be re-written on your next reboot....:)
