Change the location of My Documents to the SD Card

[Guest WearTheFoxHat]

Hi All,

I've been searching the MoDaCo forum for details of how to move the "My Documents" folder from the onboard storage to the SD card. I couldn't find any information.

I did find this on InspectMyGadget, but wanted the advice of the MoDaCo users as to whether it is the correct procedure before I attempt it.

This one is complicated but possible. I had to play around with this one for a while trying and failing with several methods, succeeding with this one. The order in which you do this is essential.

Please ensure that your SD card and My Documents are backed up. It is recommended that you do this on a fresh install of your ROM. This cleared out my “My Documents” folder but I was able to restore it.

1. Reset your device

2. Synchronise your device with your PC

3. Navigate to

“HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory“

4. Change the “Folder” key to “My Documents”

5. Rename your original “My Documents” folder to “My Docs”. This is a crucial step, but it does not matter what you name it.

6. Power off and reset your device.

7. Sync your Device

You should see in “File Explorer that your “My Documents” folder has an SD card icon next to it.

Copy your files back into your My Documents.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
