Moving: Avantgo to SD Card
I'm trying the registry tweek posted in the tutorials here on the Axim site for moving Avantgo to an SD Card. Problem is the paths don't coincide, I'm wondering if it's a WM2003 thing...
It is instructed: >Begin by moving your “AvantoGo” folder and its subfolders from >the “Windows” folder to the storage card. OK, did that... Took about 15 minutes..... >Then edit the following registry key: >HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAvanGo >Change “DatabaseLocation” from “Windowsavantgo” to “Storage >Cardavantgo”. My database location is not in Windows\AvantGo. It is in: \Program Files\AvantGo\Databases. Exploring, there is a second Avantgo folder in Program Files and it also contains folders for Fonts, Pods and a 161K Avantgo File. Question is, does this \Program Files\AvantGo\ folder also need to be moved to the SD Card first, as well? Same thing is happening whe I try to move IE Temporary Internet Files. Make sure IE is not running. Move your “Temporary Internet Files” folder and its subfolders from the “Windows” folder to the storage card. Edit the following registry values: >HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent V >VersionInternet SettingsCacheContent >Change the “CachePath” from “WindowsTemporary Internet Files” >to “Storage CardTemporary Internet Files”. I have no CachePath under "Content." The only thing there is "CacheLimit." >HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent V >ersionInternet SettingsCachePaths >Make the change to the “Directory” value. >Now make the same changes to the “Path1”, “Path2”, etc sub keys. >NOTE: After doing this, you must have the storage card >installed while browsing the internet. So if you use the CF >slot for a modem or network card and also have a CF storage >card, you can’t have both installed at the same time. >NOTE2: ActiveSync will report that your Mobile Favorites are >not synchronized – but they are. I have no sub folder "paths" nor "Directory" nor "Path1, Path2, either. Please any suggestions about tweeking this registry???!!! | |||||||||

A simple solution would be to get Memmaid. This application will allow you to move your AvantGo and IE files from RAM to any other location. Tweaks2k can also help you do the same thing.

Thanks CdSlc!
Got the MemMaid and cleaned up a bit. A nice bit of software to clean up - and it DID improve my memory situation. However, the tutorials here indicated that all of the Avantgo and IE files had to be moved to SD Card - that didn't happen with MemMaid, only the location of the cache files. Now when I actually moved Avantgo from Windows (previously, and only the windows Avantgo, not the folder/subfolders in Program Files), it had to take 5 to 10 minutes for everything to swap. That has to be a huge amount of space it would free in doing that. SO - how is it that I have more space now, that I only moved the cache to the SD? I have both programs in their original install folders - I have 2 Avantgos - 1 in windows and 1 in Program Files (for some reason and not all the same files are in both locations) and IE's temp folder (internet temp files) is back in windows. Wouldn't it free a whole lot more space to actually locate them on the SD Card - dispite slowing things down a bit because they are "out there?" Thanks ! -- OBB | |||||||||
