Assign a drive letter to phone?

[Guest]

Is there any way of assigning a drive letter to my C500? I'm using HTTrack to automatically download the entire BBC News PDA site and I'd like to write a simple batch file to copy over the files to my phone rather than use a manual drag and drop with ActiveSync.

Thanks for any tips.

I've not used this (had no reason)

But if you download Windows Mobile Developer Power tools and install it on your PC. you get CeCopy.exe

This is a command line tool for copying files to the device currently hooked up on active sync

You should be able to use it in a batch file.

Works perfectly! Thanks for your help.

Don't suppose anyone knows a way of deleting files using the command line?

If you wanna remove directorys then its something like this

C:

cdwindows

rmdir /s /q "Temp"

Thanks but I actually meant delete files on my phone from the command line...

Have a look at this.

Again I haven't tried it, don't know if it will work on Smartphone but I got lucky with CeCopy so maybe this will do the business also

Maybe they should bring out the Microsoft Powered DOS Phone :)

It would have a lovely little command prompt in the bottom left corner.

we could all enjoy features like:

Enter the word TIME and it would tell you the time!!!!

Enter the word HELP and it would scroll a whole heap of text past the screen too fast to read.

Forget complex themes and plugins - explore the limitless possibilities of the COLOR command to jazz up the screen.

Hard reset needed? - just enter FORMAT C:

And at least 6 other amazing functions!!

I think it would be a winner 8) 8)
