Guest krytz Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Hi guys, I'm new here 8) I've had a smartphone for a while only just found this place though! Right, to business... I have a bit of a problem - what i require is for my phone to be accessible via a windows vbscript i'll be running from my pc. When i connect my phone up activesync comes up etc and the file system is accessible via my computer/mobile devices... Thing is, for the vbscript to work i need an absolute path. I'm assuming the mobile devices thing is automatically implemented by windows as some kind of shortcut to its actual address.. Does anyone know how to access it using a path? I have tried the "mobile device\my smartphone\storage", and it says it cannot find! help! just for info its an spv c550 i'm using. thanks in advance 8) EDIT> whoops i just realised i put in relative path in the description... i meant absolute path Edited January 13, 2006 by krytz
Guest krytz Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 I guess not then... Perhaps there is a way to get windows to see the phone as a drive as opposed to a mobile device? like make it act like a usb pen drive or something?
Guest Jamma14 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) No there needs to be activesync running for Windows to pick up the smartphone at all. I was was hoping in WM5 they'd have changed all that but I'm afraid it is not so. I don't think there is any absolute path that would work as it isn't built into Windows Explorer but does everything through ActiveSync. The only smartphone so far that can act as a pen drive is the samsung i300 which has a 3gb hdd, but for the c550 fraid not. ;) EDIT: The only other way I could think of being able to do it is passing some command line parameters to ActiveSync, but I'm not sure what they'd be or even if it would be possible that way either. :?: Edited January 13, 2006 by Jamma14
Guest Tech Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 the drive letter is usually \mobile device but this is all encoded/encrypted in Windows etc... can I ask - why do you wish to run a script? what does the script do?
