Memory slider

[afterburner32]

Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to get the memory slider to stay at the spot that I set it to. Right now, when I try to make more room for "programs" instead of "storage", the slider jumps right back to the middle. Is there any way to fix this?


Thanks

Getting it to stay where you set it can be tricky. I can't remember the exact percentage, but basically if you slide it too far to either extreme, it will automatically split the free memory as close to even as possible (between "storage" and "programs") and put the slider in the middle of the two. I *think* the percentage is around 5%. So try to just slide it a little at a time until you find the closest you can get it before it snaps back. It's kind of a pain, I know.

There is a registry setting to fix this for WM2003SE. It worked for me, but I am on WM5 now.

Here are a couple of threads talking about it: Axim/MobilitySite thread & Pocket PC Thoughts thread

The "Neverdorkmemory" setting did work for me. I slid it to the setting I wanted and it stuck. I did leave a few MB dedicated for Storage in case things like temp files needed to be created.

As with anything like this, YMMV.

It involves a registry hack for it to really stick, but you can also do it another way. See this article for more information:
