Can not remove a WAV file in the STARTUP folder. HELP please

[Guest bruxelles5]

Hi there,

I have inserted a small wav into the startup folder (IPSMWindowsStartup ) since then, I have this song playing when I turn on my SPV.

Now I want to remove the file I can't ?? can you help?

Look like the file is in use somewhere. In XP I will look at the process and kill it. But in the SPV how can I do this?

I started to set a Startup song after seen this post in an other forum :

>> If you go to...

>> IPSMWindowsStartup

>> Add a WAV file in here. Now switch the phone off and on - you should now

>> have a start up sound!! :)

have recently added anew skin to your phone? or a sounds cab? if so i had a similar prob. open your ipsm then program files. if its not there then see if you have a new folder in your ispm. maybe called the skin name.

hope this helps

Try using '_Task manager' to kill background tasks before attempting to delete the file. Perhaps the sound player isn't closing properly.

i had to do a hard reset to get rid of the sound file.

Rename the file extension to anything you like ie .jpg

Then power offon your phone then in activsync you will now be able to delete the file :)

Had the same problem once. easily fixed! no hardware reset needed!

Simply copy all teh contents of the startup directory into a new directory - call it startup1 or something.

In the startup1 directory delete the sound file.

rename startup to startup2 (dont delete yet in case things go wrong for any reason.. didnt with me but play it safe!)

rename startup1 to startup

reboot

sound shouldnt play

if ok delete startup2
