Memory - How to redistribute

[Guest kamuell]

Question 2 from me :)

When I go to "System Info"->Memory Information, it states:

Storage Memory: 74

Used: 17

Free: 56

Program Memory: 44

Used: 27

Free: 18

My question is: How do I allocate more memory to programs and less to storage? Wouldn't this make the device operate quicker?

The device does it automatically in Windows Mobile 5, and AFAIK you can't change it.

thanks for the response....

interesting... so there's no "slider" to tell the device "hey, i've got a 1GB microSD in here - i don't need storage, so put all that stuff into program memory!" ?

you can try one of these tweaks: (dont know if they work on your device)

Make WM5 ask where to install a program (1)

If you wish to be able to specify whether to install a program on WM5's Main storage, or your Storage Card, regardless of installer setting set:

HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskDest = 1 (DWORD decimal)

To disable again:

HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskDest = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Please note that many applications do not support being installed on the Storage Card and may behave unpredictably, including crashing.

Make WM5 ask where to install a program (2)

An alternative method of making WM5 ask where to install a program is by adding the "/askdest" option to the Windows CE loader:

HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /askdest' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
